SB 840 Medical Student Rally, Lobby Day 1/28/08

Thank you for posting this!

Looks like a communist rally. CA is fucked to the hilt. It's running a $16B deficit and because of the excess government and taxes, high earners are leaving the state in droves. Who's going to pay for this shit?

[vegansquared]

Americans pay double per capita for health care than ANY other country in the world, including those with universal healthcare. You're going to pay for healthcare one way or another. You can pay the middlemen (insurance companies) to provide it for you while contributing to their mountains of profits or you can cut them out and pay the government, SAVING a whole lot in the process because you gut the "administrative" costs. Your choice buddy.

[Bizartch]

I choose neither. I am against all subsidized healthcare. If you can't afford it, too fucking bad. I left Cali long ago, THANK GOD! Your state is doomed.

[Bizartch]

Yes, yes. I see your the classic liberal. It's easy for you to be generous with someone else's money, isn't it? If you work hard, one day, the tax man will cometh for you. Then perhaps, your empathy will meet economic reality. Like I said, I left Cali long ago-it doesn't affect me. But, it is fun watching your state melt down to third-world status.

[superc]

I seriously respectfully hope nothing happens to you in the long run that will cost your house. 150,000$ worth of only 1 month hospital stay or something similar. It might bite you back.

ANY UPDATE ON THIS, VEGAN? I am so scared. Can we talk to Maria SHriver maybe to talk her husband through and not veto it?

[vegansquared]

Sorry, no update. I've been too busy with school. Will it be a moot point though, with Obama at the helm? One can only hope!

go AMSA and go Sheila! SB840 is the only answer!

[kayausten]

Great video! Way to go, Med students! You will be great doctors. Everyone: see Keuhl's plan on her web site. The plan sponsored by the Governor and Nunez was a trojan horse that would have defeated universal healthcare. For shame!

[kazakhnurse]

Yes, it's been reintroduced. How can we get Schwartzenegger to sign it this time?????

[1mayven]

Keuhl for prez!!! SB 840 and single payer makes the most sense.

[xottawan]

Just saw the date of the rally---it must be new!

[xottawan]

SB 840 was vetoed by the governor last year. Is it being reintroduced, or is this an old video?

Whatever---I'm 100 percent behind it!

[defaultuser11434]

i was thinking about insurance companies... if a bank robber robs a bank and the bank gets their money back through the insurance. what incentive

does that bank have not to get robbed? and the robber just stole paper that would be replaced.

kid of a weird scenario and hard to explain.

[Unbozo]

Hell yes she ROCKS

[humantoo]

Sheila ROCKS!!!! Everything she says is absolutely right on the mark. YES YES YES... and this is a terrific little film and statement.
