Dr. Mary O'Brien on Michael Moore's Sicko Premiere, NY

[SuperTruthwillsetyou]

She is an idiot. Im a physician also. The problem with private insurance is not having competition and too much regulation by the government which allows monopoly. In response to nationalized services like police, fire department, and schools we need police and fire department for public safety but the public education has been a debacle. We spent the most out of all of industrilized country per student but scored in the bottom in math and science and reading.

[pauleytrex]

People like her should be running this country. Brilliant woman!!!

[krazykeys88]

Good to see that not all Americans are stupid. Fantastic Woman

[seesaw148]

In Australia medicare works great, a single payer system . Don't let the idea of socialism scare you capitilist healthcare has failed USA.

[hopes26]

@seesaw148 Only dumb asses are scared of the idea of "social" health care. the fire dept, the police dept, the army, the schools...etc are on social system and we are just fine

[matowgc]

She's talking exactly about the NHS, the system we have in the Uinted Kingdom. A brilliant system!

[BremenBrahmin]

Listen to this woman. A single payer system leads to economic stability & prosperity as well as good public health. It's the right economic choice.

[PassTheSalt008]

This woman is right on. I am completely for a single payer healthcare system. I would base my presidential vote on this issue, if any of the candidates offered a single payer plan.

[Acredofornothing]

I agree with Dr. O'Brien completely! A single payer system reduces costs. It does not limit access to care. It simplifies the doctor-patient relationship. It's both fiscally conservative and humanistic.

[JGTaveras]

She said everyone would get a card at birth, how would that include illegal immigrants?

[BremenBrahmin]

There are many forms of single-payer healthcare. In Denmark, even tourists are covered. In France, only taxpayers are covered. Don't reject single-payer approach just because of your opinion about whether or not illegal immigrants should be covered.

[JGTaveras]

Dude, you totally didn't watch this clip. I don't give a shit about the illegal immigrants at all, I was only pointing out a contradictory statement made by the Doctor. Anyway, I'll still reject the idea of single payer because competition is crucial to advanced modern medicine.

[wmbdm]

I'm American Moved to Canada 8years Ago, Canada's healthcare Is Fine! No Complaint's ,don't believe all the Propaganda,Bottom line OVER!40million are'nt covered.That's more than the Population than all Canada!

[Sinisterene]

if socialized healthcare is so wonderful, then why not ask for socialized food? Hell, you sure as shit can't say that it's not "too big" of a sector of the economy.

You know why? Because deep in your commie souls you know you're all bootlickers, anxious to give more power to the king.

[ianclivewright]

Simply, because healthcare and food are two completely different things. Lets consider you're logic.

If capitalism is so brilliant, lets condemn people with a curable disease to an early death while prattling on about Jesus all the time. That's after all what he'd have wanted, isn't it?

[gabbe81]

Socialized food already exists, They're called soupkitchens. Many people bankrupt because of healthcare in USA, rely on the soupkitchens for survival...

[Acredofornothing]

I am a US/French binational, and the care I got in France while I lived there was always at least as good as the care I get in the US. I never had to wait. Nothing was rationed. My choices were never limited. If you don't believe me, ask other French healthcare consumers directly on the following website: atoute(dot)org.

[edwardo1234]

good girl

support free unversal health care

[HealthProp]

Us Universal Health Care does not have to be Exactly like other countries. It would be Smart to learn/adopt the best elements of other systems and apply. THINK Tanks are so smart at showing how UHC won't work instead of ideas of how to make it work, while they promote more of same bad system.

[Spotsnoop]

Well said, Dr. Mary O'Brien!! 3 Cheers!!!With people like you and of course, Michael Moore, the American people have hope now...thanks to SICKO!!!

[signsbyrusty]

I concur with woman in video

[terjayne]

Nicely done! Thank you.

[raf747]

I also I agree with every single word that woman said.

Free health care is a HUMAN RIGHT issue

[megaman00]

Brilliant, I also agree with her. Jack asses that are more concerned with the fact that there is a movie about it... you are part of the problem and are hindering progress towards a just and vital cause. pat your selves on the back A-holes.

[thedrax]

I agree with every single word that woman said.

[zenbrasil]

very articulated! your comments were great. I just wonder when the American people will wake up and smell the coffee!? I wonder when will this country stop believing all the crap that they see on TV?!

[2edgesword]

Moore has yet to admit that 911 was an inside job! He makes Guantanamo Bay seem like a day care center. Its bullshit movie illusion and brainwashing propaganda! Don't see the movie! Unless its for free! Ha! Ha!

[signsbyrusty]

2edgesword...we will remember you when the new health system comes in...and no by-pass surgery for you

[cciemail]

2edgesword, i'm not sure what your problem is, but if you really want the atrocities at guantanamo bay to end you'd better support people like moore who are exposing the truth about the bush administration. and i suggest you go see the movie before you make up bullshit about it. and instead of wild conspiracies, you'd better focus your attention on the real problem of getting our troops the hell out of iraq.

[murrayhall]

TOTALLY WELL SAID!

[sbrownn7]

who cares if the reporter was not well versed? point is, we need to remove profits and greed from the healthcare system. i pay 820.00 a month for coverage and i am just sick of our system. further, i'm sick of some fuck ceo at united healhcare buying a new benz every year.
