Sad  Sad Sad

I'm a little confused about this. I saw Mccain on TV saying drop the public option- but if there was a public option wouldn't that mean you wouldn't have to pay for it. Oh yeah, I also think you should have done some more editing.

Trust a Canadian.....don't accept universal healthcare...it's awful.

NOBAMA

hmm... If this is supposed to be an informative video (which you try to make it out to be) it's missing some things... 1. the alternative view 2. the facts and 3. the point. This video shows over nine minutes of angry right-wing ranters complaining and almost NO ONE on the other side. Sure, you film them, just like I'd film a bird if it flew through my shot. The only thing fairly represented on each side are the 'manufactured' signs. Careful, your bias is showing.

The video is great!  My son and I were there to participate with the crowd outside. There's more chance of Mr.Soetoro releasing his actual birth certificate than there would be of us getting inside the building.

Nevertheless, I was fortunate to strike up several interesting conversations with folks who support single-payer or government option. My take-away? I believe we all want what's best for all, we just disagree on how to get there.

Agreed. The law makers need to go back to the drawing board and come up with a better bill.

[VeseyConspiracist]

The small businessman at 1:07 is misinformed. Its a myth that health insurance reform will hurt small businesses.

To the contrary, reform will ease the burdens on small businesses, provide tax credits to help them pay for employee coverage and help level the playing field with big firms who pay much less to cover their employees on average.

So many of these folks have been scared and manipulated by dishonest corporations who want the status quo to keep lining their pockets.

[TiredOldFart]

You're right. A guy bright enough to run his own business has no clue about money. /sarcasm.

[VeseyConspiracist]

Bright guys can be wrong too. Especially when cable TV channels keep feeding them misleading and often deceptive horror tales.

Check out the claims about taxes on some reputable fact-checker like Factcheck-dot-org or Politifact.

[bubbaofwar]

and I wonder there those tax credits will come from eh?

The paid Acorn crown look like deer in the headlights, LOL..

sankofa: those are real Americans. Democrats AND republicans, protesting against socialism. You are watching too much Olbermann. Most Americans now watch FOX. FOX is the new CNN. You are behind the times.

[sankofa1906mt]

Republicans are complete morons. look at the sign at 6:09 "illegal aliens/criminals"... conservatives bigotry is always on display. Keep doing it so the rest of America can see how ignorant you guys are.
