@DrWizardMan Scratch that, I meant Switzerland for the WHO, which too is Democratic Socialism. I do agree that the Obama Plan is crap. If anything, the Obama Plan was written by the Insurance Companies to force Millions of People into buying Health Insurance and if they don't comply, the IRS can fine them either $2,000 or 2% of their annual income, whichever is greater. I would take a Single Payer System over this Fascist Obama Plan any day and I'm vehemently opposed to Socialism.
@DrWizardMan I know and the World Health Organization is based out of Sweden, which is a pretty Democratic Socialist country. They rank the countries based on 5 criteria points. More of their ranking has to do with the EQUALITY of health care than actual Quality. If a country gives most of their country excellent health care and a minority of people good health care, WHO lowers their ranking substantially.
The problem is not just insurance, but lawyers as well.
@DrWizardMan Canada has a Single Payer System, yet even some politicians from that country with this system decided to get their operation done in the United States. So, if we are so bad, why do people not just get the free Health Care that is supposedly superior in Canada which is paid for by the taxpayers but instead choose to opt out of it and come here and pay out of pocket instead? That makes absolutely no sense at all.
@DrWizardMan You know, I've heard this crap about the U.S. ranking 37 in the world and the countries with Socialized Medicine and Universal Health Care being superior. My question to you is this, who is doing the ranking? Do they not have a bias? It's really subjective. If you want evidence as to who really is better, tell me why people are not leaving the United States for these countries and why people for so many years leave those countries and come to this country for Health Care.
@DrWizardMan Look it up? Every time I go to the Government for something, I get nothing but the run around and some bullshit from some big fat bitch who hasn't missed a meal and probably eats 10 Big Macs a day.
Go to the Secretary of State, the DMV, Public Schools, Court, etc. the Government completely sucks dick at getting things done. They're slow as hell and they just want to suck your money and waste your time. Government Workers suck dick, plain and simple.
Insurance Companies suck dick, but do you really believe that the Government is any better? They both suck. Best way to go is to self insure and pay as you go. Either way, you're gonna have an insurance company bureaucrat or a government bureaucrat making decisions for you. I say screw them both.
Really? Do you also think food, a home and education are rights?? Where I was born people DO believe all these and more are human rights. Taxation is over 40% there. All these rights FORCE others to work for you. The problem with socialism is that at some point you run out of other people's money. As far as helping the poor, charity has always existed... how did you think this country ran before 'social security' existed? There where church hospitals and other non-religious organizations.
NO .... JUST HEALTH CARE..... were talking about taking care of the sick... NOT buying food ... check your bible about looking out for your neighbor.... or maybe you think god created capitalism.... funny how you should mention taxes because last time I checked the American people just bailed out all the RICH companies ... but yet when it comes to paying taxes to insure all Americans are covered SUDDENLY it's SOCIALISM!!! wow...
Screw your idea of charity... charity is not helping American families and rising insurance costs... we cant keep the system the way it is because NOTHING will change... American families are being RAPED by the private insurance companies.... to hear you cry about a little extra taxes is pathetic when the other option is leaving MILLIONS to suffer.... maybe you should apologize to the 44,000 Americans that die every year from lack of insurance coverage....
Both bailing out greedy corporation and universal healthcare are SOCIALISTIC policies. I disagree with both and was equally as upset with Mr. Bush as I am displeased with Mr. Obama's. I do not appreciate being taxed to supply for another citizen's healthcare, unemployement, student loans or any other services. Government is supposed to protect each citizens right to liberty and property. Socialism forces you to give it away to others. If you think healthcare will be free....
To bad for you ... you can blame the private insurance companies for NOT PLAYING BY THE RULES.... there denying care because of pre existing conditions... there raising costs to unsustainable levels... somehow your confusing socialist programs to TOTAL socialism... NOT THE CASE.... socialistic programs are already alive and running in the USA and they work .... stop making it a big issue because the free market will always remain with PRODUCTS.... but it doesn't belong in health care period
You will not here the dems breath a word of truth because power is the cure. They want to control the masses, Teddy Roosevelt first proposed national health insurance in 1912, FDR proposed it again in the 1930s. Harry Truman proposed it again in the 1940s. They've been waiting along time for this progressive power holy grail issue, healthcare is the way to pure Socialism, Reagan was warning of this as far back as the 60s.
Like I want government telling me what they will and will not take care of, possibly telling me I can't have a hip replacement because in a couple of years, I'll probably die of cancer.
Thats not true..... your so misinformed.... right now you will have a women in a booth in Thailand telling you NO hip replacement.... private insurance companies are GARBAGE and don't belong in health care.... public option is the only solution to this massive problem ....
There not coming here!!!! that's all outrages BULLSHIT.... more Americans go to Canada!!! because they cant afford the outrages prices here.... get your facts straight....
he's keeping his promises man... the promises he made to unions and ACORN are just the ones he's keeping rather than to America.
his election night speech he said he wanted to hear from everyone. then he tells Republicans "because I won" and that he won't listen. he attacks people dissenting against his plans. he's a tool.
Baaahahahaha! This is the man who told us that if we didn't pass the stimulus bill, we'd see 8% unemployment. We passed that number in the blink of an eye! This guy is really on top of our economy! A man who is on a runaway spending spree. Yeah Bill Mahr....go stand in line at the DMV if you want to see government at work. Better yet you pompas ass...you want to see the best example of government health care? Look at the "breakthrough" health care the VA hospitals provide! Jackass
Obama is such a joke! But the bad thing is he or his stupid plans for "change", aren't funny at all. They are oppressive and borderline on dictatorship. I am glad when I voted, I didn't sell out just because
Obama is a liar, and that is my biggest, though not my only, problem. Like all liberals they are NEVER honest with what they beleive and what their goals are. I have respect, although I don't agree, with someone that is liberal and is honest that they beleive in socialism. Obama LIES and says he isn't socialist, and then EVERYTHING he does is socialist.
Imagine languishing unattended for days in soiled sheets, suffering from hunger and thirst, covered with bed sores, your flesh aboil with untreated infections.
Imagine living in fear of resentful, underpaid health aides who take out their anger on you and abuse you.
And imagine spending your final moments on earth in the company of a government health care worker with a syringe, who injects you with a lethal cocktail.
Obama stated to the AFL-CIO that he wanted single payer, then he said in the town hall that he didn't. LIE! Obamacare is designed to lead to single-payer. Bill Maher used the Post Office as an example of an efficient government system RATHER than Medicare, Medicaid or the Veteran's Administration. Why? So he wouldn't be laughed at! If uninsured people were a priority, why not use stimulus money? Obamacare not to take affect until 2013 but we have to vote on it tomorrow? LIES!!!!!
I'm for single-payer universal health care. But I hate it so much when people contrive getting arrested so that they will look martyred. Just wait you turn, for goodness sake; you'll have your say. Don't you understand that order is always expected at a meeting like the one from which you were removed?
It's a public meeting, on public property, suppossedly doing the publics' business, yet they fail to hold truely public hearings, so it's a Citizen's DUTY to speak up to power. You act as if these people barged in on a private meeting on private property doing private business. So ignorant.
Disorder will always give them an excuse to dismiss you. These people had a point but blew it.
I know that revolution is romantic, but do you want results or not? If wearing a bandana on your nose and breaking store-front windows is all you've got in mind, then keep up the ineffective tactics. There's a time for being rowdy, but it's not often. The sooner you learn to argue and fight while keeping yourself beyond reproach, the sooner you will see the changes you ostensibly want.
Well, there was absolutly NO reason to talk of violence. No one here did, does or advocates. Shame on you for even suggesting it. Something Pelosi might try.
Understand your final sentence, but it doesn't excuse the former.
Calm down, Yodadog, I don't think you want to be violent against anyone; I'm sure you're just really fired up because you care about a cause. I'm being metaphorical here, using imagery of those who are very zealous but lack wisdom.
You like Nader so much. Try to get IRV passed as a ballot iniative. If Massachusetts can get a question about decriminalizing marijuana on the ballot and passed than we can get IRV as a ballot question state by state.
We, the working people of the USA, pay for the health care of the elected officals. We need to take away this benefit and allow them to buy health care in the "FREE MARKET". Max Baucus has taken over $400,000 from the health insurance/pharma industry. That is why they have a seat at the table. Guess we need to raise some money to buy single payer a seat. Max, we know what you are, guess now we are negotiating.
Thank you Dennis/Elizabeth Kucinich and John Conyers for all you continue to do.
So with OBOMBA, where is "The Change We Can Believe In" now??? No where to be found, that's where we are now...unending war, no national healthcare agenda, massive stimulus programs...
great video. i feel genuinely bad for the clusterfuck of democrats who think obama is anything but just another lying politician and corporate tool. i want change i can see, not bullshit i can believe!
just like Nader predicted... what gets me is the same people who talk about not wanting government involvement don't seem to be upset about Wallstreet, bank, and auto bailouts! Social Security is out the window but they bail out corporate elites.
We Want SINGLE PAYER Obama as you once did before being elected!
Wow, a great video. It puts all of the important single payer statements together and makes it clear how the Beltway bandits are corrupting even the best laid plans. We voted for Obama for change. We expect, deserve nothing less. Single payer NOW.
Whenever a politician give reasons for the status quo and says "... I've got to be honest with you...", you know what is said next is always a complete lie.
The lobbyist got their way with obama,obama the chronic LIAR.
