While listening to the Ed Schultz radio talk show on AM 760 Progressive radio here in Boulder today, 8/24/09, a caller called and talked about this video. As soon as I got home I found it on You Tube. Needless to say I love it. I also live in Boulder and if you need any help doing more of this let me know. I have several years volunteer experience as a Producer with CATV 54 when it existed here in Boulder.

There is a villain out there, and we're not saying it: the health insurance industry is openly criminal.

[TheRedgoddess100]

There is only a very small group of people who could possibly be against health care reform. Those are the people that think because they have health care, they are protected. When they get sick and they lose their health care, or lose their job and they lose their health care or their premium goes up, they'll change their minds... Only heartless and stupid people could be against changing this broken health care system. I feel sorry for them.

You say a public option will have prolems and therefore should not be implemented. And you say Medicare has problems too (so I presume you think it should go away). But I don't hear anyone ON Medicare saying it should go away. Same with vets getting goverment insurance for GIs. All of them COULD go to a private option, but don't. Imagine them hearing you say their choices about what's best for them are no good in YOUR opinion and need to be taken away.

[KevinMichaelKreeger]

Medicare definately has problems. So does every single private policy. But everyone on Medicare has a choice between that and private options. Why do they stay with Medicare if its so bad? They are not forced too....they do it because its their BEST option. And they don't care if you go with a private insurer, or uninsured. They do what's best for them and you do what's best for you. But to say that a public option is not good for you...and therefore no one should have it, makes no sense.

people are dying every day because the for profit health care system is just that: ONLY into making profit and caring nothing about peoples' lives. It's a disgrace. We MUST have single payer health care. This video really shows how things actually are.

[HEALTHCAREGROUP]

Wall Street greed destroyed our economy and will also destroy our health care system. Put 2 and 2 together!!!!

Other countries don't allow their health care systems to be ravaged by the greed of the stock market. All of that stolen money would be put back into health care. We would SAVE money on health care. Put 2 and 2 together.

[TheRedgoddess100]

I think this video is the best one I've seen on health care. It tells what's really going on and how the for profit health care system is ruining peoples' lives while health insurance companies, congresspeople and pharmaceutical companies are getting richer and richer

[KevinMichaelKreeger]

The plans being debated dont force anyone to switch coverage. If the government's plan will be so bad, no one will sign up. If people do, it means its better than what they currently have. Why deny them?

Try taking away single payer in this country. Medicare is single payer. As is GI coverage and the coverage our reps and senators get. NONE of them will let go of it. If the private sector could do better they would have stolen these customers from their single payer plans already.

[MyImago]

We must have a single payer health care system only. We can't afford anything else. US spend on health care 15.4% of GDP (that is a low figure) including both state and private. As a whole Europe spends 9.6% of GDP on universal health care. The Republicans and or the O'bama plan, is just more of the same fraud. Plenty of profit for the greedy pharmaceuticals and the health care companies. We should emulate the Veterans Administration. Our own national, 1 payer system that works.

I have yet to see our government run

ANYthing successfully- why would I want them in control of my

Healthcare? Countries with socialized medicine come to America for the

Best healthcare in the world. 89% of people polled are happy with their healthcare coverage. What makes you have confidence in a government plan that is general at best, when they have already failed us with SS and Medicare? Aren't you suspicious that with all the trillions in entitlements on the books,

Obama wants this?

[kdiverdown]

47 million us a lie STEEVVYZ. 12 miliion are illegals, 9 million make over $75,000 a year but choose not to pay for insurance. medicare cost 100 times more than proposed. Have you read the Congressional Budget Offices report? It says it will cost WAY more and be impossible to implement. Another corrupt, failed, money-pit government program. Wake up people, you will lose your private option with any little change, just look at the big picture, look at the #'s, this the beginning of our demise...

[STEEEVVYZ]

PUBLIC OPTION !is the best but if you dont like it just buy something else.. there will always be private companys to go to...this is only for the uninsured and those who want it...I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE THINK THIS WILL LIMIT CHOICE? RIGHT NOW 47 MILLION PEOPLE HAVE NO CHOICE THEY HAVE NO HEALTHCARE AND YOU ARE PAYING THEIR WAY ALREADY!! AT LEAST WITH PUBLIC OPTION WE CAN PREVENT THESE PEOPLE FROM ENDING UP IN E.R. ..SUPPORT THE PUBLIC OPTION!!EITHER WAY WE WILL PAY WHY NOT GET BEST DEAL??

[HEALTHCAREGROUP]

Go to town hall meetings with your congressmen this month and make your voice heard!!!

[kdiverdown]

Listen, this is what the government has us & our children on the line to pay for Social Security + Medicare ....$99.2 TRILLION!! Please, who thinks we can

Pay for this?? You are like a spoiled child who expects a PS3+ a new computer + a skate-board + food on the table, when your Dad has lost his job, used up unemployment, maxed out his credit, and filed for bankruptcy! Sorry I'm not drinking that kool-aide, anyone who thinks this will work needs a dose of common sense + reality. REFORM&REDUCE

[HEALTHCAREGROUP]

Let's get single payer health care in America!!!!
