What Does Universal Healthcare Mean?- obama Chooses Pro-Death Advocate To Run HHS

[8Eriquo8]

After watching this, i am now convinced that you can get away with outright lying on television

[crackomatic]

we demand the freedom to die horrible deaths simply because we are poor.

It is constitutional that people deserve to be bankrupted for having the audacity to get sick

[hadenufnow]

You take 3000 pages of Finely ground Dried Feces & Pack it with $500,000,000,000 Billion in Medicare Cuts to Kill, Exorbident Taxes for everyone, Restrictions & Mandates for all, Abortion, Gun & Old People Control & Call it

"""""REFORM"""""........????

It's a MANDATE "Packed"

& "Loaded" with Crap...

SNAGS, SNARES, & PITFALLS......

Look unless you work in health care you really have no clue the games that go on . Insurance companies run the show because they have for so long we just except it . Well its a broken corrupt system . insurance companies pay doctors to discharge pt. early scary shit . I have sent patients home that should not be . sad sad life .

[veronicarabbit]

If it works in Canada, then why is the Cancer survival rate lower and people come here to get care? why did Hawaii have the same system only to cut funding 7months later? when people are given a free ride they take it. people were dropping there own insurance in favor of a government one. That overloaded the budget and took away from the people it really intended to help, middle class kids. There needs to be more personal responsibility in this country and less dependence on the government.

[Twh57318]

We have a greater number of doctors hospital . Which we will be able to increase due to the lack of pro-bono xrays catscans and MRIs . Billions of dollars are lost each year in the us due to that and many more cannot get an MRI why is that because they dont have insurance and they say oops too bad you die.

America Wake Up! your taxes can't cover your bills. Its time to face reality. You dont want govenment to come between you and your doctor? Right now you have an HMO between you and your doctor. The difference is that the HMO needs to make a profit from you.

[Deadpoolitics]

"We should remember that HMOs did not arise because of free-market demand, but rather because of government mandates. The HMO Act of 1973 requires all but the smallest employers to offer their employees HMO coverage ..."

"While many in Congress are happy to criticize HMOs today, the public never hears how the present system was imposed upon the American people by federal law.... "

[Deadpoolitics]

"As usual, government intervention in the private market failed to deliver the promised benefits and caused unintended consequences, but Congress never blames itself for the problems created by bad laws."

This report is complete bullshit because I've been to Europe. These people are fucking morons spreading lies and misinformation.

[veronicarabbit]

what part of it was a lie? Your the mornon! you were probably in Europe on vaca, not asking the people about their health care. if you want UHC....go to Europe, i hope you don't expect to be treated if you have a low life expectancy. take responsibility for you health and don't expect the gov to do it for you. you really want so paper pusher dictating what treatment you can and can't have? I don't....when you've actually read both the kennedy and house UHC bills...then come talk to me.

[akinadownhillace]

I certainly don't want a insurance company, who's top priority is profit, deciding who gets treated or not. Ultimately, it will be the doctor, who decides what treatment should be provided. Not the Government, or your friends at the insurance company you work at. Stop spreading your baseless misinformation you neocon trash.

[poopingeneral]

OK for all the uneducated masses out there, Universal Health Care does not work, in every case around the world where Universal Health Care has existed, and been implemented, it has proven to be a complete and utter failure on the Gov't's part, and also on the part of the people. "This is also one step closer to Socialism" Lastly this is not free as most assume, it is very costly and expensive and would run up the Federal deficit in trillions, so honestly what do you know abou UHC?

[akinadownhillace]

Seems to work fine in Europe, and they aren't in debt like we are. I know, I've been there. Maybe you should actually visit Europe sometime. That way you don't look like a complete moron. I would say fifty million uncared for Americans is the 'complete and utter failure' you troglodyte homunculus. You work for a insurance company don't you?

[beechave]

Works Fine here in Canada. My friend is recovering from a brain tumor. It cost him ZERO dollars for treatment.

[potassiumnitrate]

The wait times are simply for those who can't afford privitized health care, and I think they should be glad that atleast some have the opportunity for treatment. They couldn't even afford it in the first place and they're complaining about waiting time? People seriously need to get over themselves.

[veronicarabbit]

what they are angry about with waite time that they are dieing before they can even get testing. if you got cancer, (i hope not) would you rather wait for testing and possibly die, or get testing and be in debt? i think that i would much rather live. and so does everyone else. thats why they come here.

[potassiumnitrate]

Seriously, a 85 year old needs an aortic valve replacement? There's so much going on in the world and because an 85 year old doesn't get an aortic valve replacement it serves as an example of a failing health care system? At that age you've probably lived long enough anyways.

I personally think that a universal health care system on the average helps more people than it harms. If the wait times are that long, then people who could have afforded should just go else where for their treatment.

[akinadownhillace]

Firstly, fuck you. What if that 85 year old were your grandma? I'm glad it's not your decision to make you troglodyte homunculus.

[Ruth42]

"She read it in an email"? That constitutes absolute proof? How about reviewing statistics? Anecdotal evidence is not sufficient!

Okay, I will concede that perhaps some people die while waiting for treatment but that is a fact of life everywhere. I also hold firm to my assertion that those who need treatment right away will get that treatment.

[bodaciouscowboy]

I agree with you. I was being facetious. I was merely pointing out that this doctor is going on TV saying Canadians die waiting for treatment, and cites as "evidence" for this claim an unsubstantiated e-mail she allegedly received. Regrettably, many Fox News viewers who hear that will accept it as a proven fact.

[Ruth42]

Waiting times are long here in Canada, yes. BUT, nobody dies waiting for treatment. That doctor yabbering about this has no clue what she's talking about!! If you are seriously ill, you will get the treatment you need. No question about that.

What moronic tripe this doctor is saying!

[bodaciouscowboy]

People do die waiting for treatment! She read it in an e-mail from some American woman in Canada! What more proof do you need?

[juarezrt]

Well, if fox news says it, it must be true!!

[slicbro]

Sometimes you get the feeling fox hires people who were just getting by during their college years. I mean, where do they get these weird journalists and anchors. Who the hell is leigh vinocur? Is she a leading activist in the health care industry? Has she written about anything regarding health care? HAs she produced any new ideas or solutions? Is she part of any recognizable health organizations? The answer is no. Fox, pleas stick to making movies. You guys are good at that,

[valandil86]

this was pure propaganda.

[Emassei]

Talked about? What did they talk about? That was propaganda indoctrination not a careful weighing of the different types of health care: no statistics, no thesis, just action packed Fox News rhetoric. Single payer health care is not socialized health care, hospitals and doctors are still privatized. What is this maybe talk, why are they arguing against social health care if nobody is mentioning it?

Fox should stick to what they do best, making action movies.

[ThomasDaschle]

I wanted to adopt the cuban healthcare policy, It's fantastic, All americans get healthcare for free and all you have to give in exchange, is all your land, income, and personal possessions. It's terrific..and clean. I got my penis enlarged there, now it looks just like florida.. and every morning I wake up and sing the star spangled banner to it. It's such an invigorating way to start my day.

[AlreadyKnownAsX2]

LMAO!

Hey Tom. It seems a few conservatives have lost their balls and let the leftys swing theirs around now.

Any advice on how the gutless "conservatives" could get their balls back and take congress back in 2010?

[ThomasDaschle]

yes I do, actually, I believe Nancy Pelosi passed a bill requiring republicans to turn their balls into her as she likes to bang her gavel on them, but thats the house, as for the senate, I think Maine senators Susan Collins and Olympia Snow, have siezed all senate balls by order of Barack Obama, and lord knows what they've done to Arlin Spector to get him to follow I think it is a party trick they used to do to me at Chrismas parties, It's a pleasant maneuver more commonly known as the shocker

[mattleroi]

france has the best care in the world. the us should look there for advice

[sixletter]

If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it's free! - P.J. O'Rourke

[Ruth42]

Free? WoW! Where is it free? Are you referring to Canada? Gee, I hope not, as health care here is not free. It never was is not now and never will be.

Health care is not free anywhere - unless you know something we don't!

[sadieaugust]

Obama lovers, don't get too excited about having health care, especially with Kathleen Sebelius as Health Secretary. Kathleen Sebelius did a very poor job as Governor of Kansas.  She is so bad at governing the state that the people of Kansas will we receiving IOU's instead of a tax refund check, same as the people of California. Hate to bust your bubble but with this woman in charge you might end up getting an IOU for a doctor visit.

[bodah44]

"in england you can pay for but then theres the problem of the haves and have nots" yeah but you already have that problemyou dumb cow except because you dont have universal healthcare the have nots get jack shit!

[ponyboy316]

"People die waiting for treatment". 1) No they do not, otherwise it would be in the paper every day here since conservatives want ot privatize the health care industry. 2) How many people die in the United States because they can't afford treatment and is that better than having to wait for it?

[ponyboy316]

The only thing we did wrong in Canada is we allowed conservatives to determine how much funding our health care system gets. Conservatives like putting large prices on necessities because that was they know they can leech money out of you your entire life. That is why I'm a liberal. Because I actually retained some of my humanity when I graduated High School.

[ponyboy316]

What is wrong with being pro-death? Weren't every one of the soldier who faught in WW 1&2 pro death? They risked hteir lives to kill others. That seems like a pro-death stance to me. You have something against the people who faught for your freedoms?

[AlreadyKnownAsX2]

ponyboy316-- Here we have another moonbat illogical rationalization. "They risked hteir lives to kill others. That seems like a pro-death stance to me. You have something against the people who faught for your freedoms?" I'm surprised you even graduated high school with that kind of grammar. Oh yeah! I forgot. The public schools are all run by liberals. Silly me.

Innocents, babies in the womb, are not "Soldiers" yet dopey.
