apparently it's unamerican to want a public health insurance program akin to canada. what a load of bull. just like people were brainwashed into thinking saddam was behind 9/11, people can be sheep at time. it pains me to watch
@mikeynzl Your post was great. Google ALECWATCH a watch dog group monitoring the American Legislative Exchange Council. They are a Secret group behind many of the state Governors and legislators to STOP things like Single Payer Ins. This is only the tip of the iceberg. They are anti choice, anti education, anti Medicare anti
SS and want to, and are taking this country back 40 years and more. Please google ALECWATCH. Know what's going on right under your nose. don't wake up in a body bag.
Apparently, Shep wasn't listening to Obama and Pelosi when they said after about 10 years, there will be no option. It just takes time, and those socialists are more than willing to wait. Gov. doesn't work from profit; they have that leverage over private industry... just saying.
@fuzzyabomb And that's a valid point, only belittled by the fact that the government DOESN'T have that kind of leverage over private industry. . .private businesses outway government profit in the same fields, without looking it up I believe recently was a 51% to 50%. Not anything extravagant, but still a sign of the times.
@fuzzyabomb way to discredit your own argument by being flippant with those who disagree with you. That's the way of childish 'nuh uh' and 'uh huhs', not civil debate. If you're so sure of your convictions why shy from an opportunity to prove them? Seems silly.
Private for-profit insurers get a free ride on the back of medicare;they cherry-pick healthiest while medicare has to take everyone. Very un-christian "let the sick ones go bankrupt or drop dead" attitude. The moral thing? "we're all in this together" pool
Not just 60% supported Public Option, but also 55%-70% of public supports Single Payer (see pnhp dot org) which is not 'takeover' but public nonprofit universal insurance,you pick your(private)doctor, a freedom the for-profits don't give us
I'm a health food person myself but this hateful Republican won't get me to go along with demonizing "it's all because they eat poorly, don't exercise, or smoke"..so we should let them drop dead? He's also lying: those 5% most costly includes people who got cancer or a congenital disease or something else unrelated to their personal diet/exercise
Medicare too expensive?That's because YOU senator won't let it negotiate for Best Deal w/rug companies. &Medicare has to accept all, including sickest
damn i didnt think that fox had real journalists hey lets here it for quotas because its clear that mr smith is there to counter balance the 23hour crazy-thon that is fox news
@Bryanchannel1, why do Democrats always see their point of view as "the truth". It's so arrogant. Shep is clueless--he shouldn't be making an opinion as a reporter.
We the people call this country a free one, what is being required to have medical insurance, I don't see that as being in a freedom land. I've not needed any real health care for more than 12 yrs, can you imagine how much of my money would be going in and never needing any of it back in health care. When I do need to see a docter I simlpy pay for it, that costs me a lot less than having insurance all these years would have. Car insurance OK I drive everyday but health ins. I almost never need!
@dayla072609 But if you get something proper serious it could costs thousands and then your done. Just like the car you prob wont crash but you could.
@zapwert I understand where you are coming from and I've argued that fact in my mind to myself, but when I calculate the numbers, in 12 yrs I've spent about 3600 on health care, If I had insurance all those yrs at approxiamately 250. a nonth which I have check for my family that was the cheapest at the time I could find, my cost would have been $36,000.00 and that is just the monthly, don't forget that most times you have copay fees and things they don't pay for period. So now do u c my point.
@dayla072609 I understand those who are sick often or who live adventurous lives and get hurt need this, and some day I will get it b/c I am getting older and humans naturaly have more health issues as we age. But if I make sure to do healthy things and live a healthy lifestyle and I go to my docter for check ups to make sure I'm still healthy, then I should not be forced to do something in a country that says we're free.
@dayla072609 Your past experiences don't determine if you'll get seriously ill in the future or not. If anything the older you get the higher the chances. I guess if you have been saving that money in an account for all that time so you can use it when bills of that magnitude come in for something like e.g. cancer treatment or a transplant then you would be fine.

Why is it the people who hate Fox, say the most ignorant things, and or don't even watch it? Fox has a number of different types of people on it. I watch Fox all the time and I'm no far right loon, I can't stand Republicans, and I can't stand Democrats, but I know there are good men and women in both parties, those are the people you look for and vote for. I'm conservative on some issues, and liberal on some others.. I like common sense, truth, and compassion
@Llama212ify Shepard Smith is the only guy on Fox News that actually reports anything! Although he's a tad bit sensationalist, he is still in league with journalistic integrity. You can't say that about Hannity or Oreilly or ESPECIALLY Glenn Beck!!
Shep you are an idiot. It is a gov take over.ARE DOCTORS GOING TO BE RUNNING IT ? NO!!! ARE PRIVATE INS COMPANIES GOING TO BE RUNNING IT ? NO!!! THE GOV IS..SO IT'S A GOV TAKEOVER.. Maybe if we could buy across st lines which would create comp. and we had REAL tort reform. . Look at SS ,medicare,and medicaid.They are BANKRUPT b/c of politicians stealing from the funds. And you for some reason think the gov can run healthcare?? I think you need to be over at MSLSD. U would fit right in.
and there's the problem, its not because medicare,and medicaid don't work, they do, and very well. . . like you said "They are BANKRUPT b/c of politicians stealing from the funds. " . . . Stop the stealing from funds and they'd be so much better off, the same would go for a public option.
Also, a govt take over would mean the government TAKING OVER. a public option is not a take over, universal healthcare would be a govt take over. However universal healthcare WORKS!
So, this is all the fault of 5% of Americans? I don't think so! 25% of Americans smoke, and 1/3 of Americans are overweight. But what about those of us with catastrophic diseases which are not caused by diet or smoking? Should we just go to hell? Finally, I'll note that Congress has its own public health care, paid for by the taxpayers. Hypocrites! ☺
Shepp works for FOX because they are truly FAIR and BALANCED and "bluetechsec" like Shepp because they are probably lefties just like Shepp! Since obama won shepp's lefty views are more noticeable.
@1thess523 No, Fox is not fair and balanced, and Shephard Smith is not a liberal. He seems like a moderate. A sane one. God, Fox viewers are so out of touch with reality
@Janetvdl,And I guess those who don't watch Fox are the only one's intouch with REALITY RIGHT!!!!!! I wounder what the left would be saying is PRESIDENT BUSH was doing what obama is? And no I wouldn't support Bush if he was doing it!
@1thess523 Well I'm not using my profile page as a political battleground, son! This is the reason why the comment sections are here on each individual video!
@jazzfan5000 , ok so just don't call you names on your page but on the video section someone can call you MORON, got it SONNY!!!!!, but here's the thing your safe with me because I don't cuss or call people dirty names
I watched this very interview. They had 2 guests on. One was this guy. Shep took an opposing view against both guests. That's one of the reasons why I like shep as a reporter was because of this interview. But this video mis-represents it by cutting the debate in half.
The only REFORMS we need to make are in the insurance companies. The Health Care system is just fine... the insurance companies are the ones that are charging people so much. We don't need that, and we SURE as hell don't need a gov't-rin health care system. It's un-American.
I can't believe there are ignorant people here that believe a public option is the way to go. That's messed up.
The more I watch this Shepard Smith guy, the more I am impressed by him...and I hate Fox News......He might be only one at Fox that isn't deranged. Keep it coming Shep.
Folks, I have been watching Fox for about 8 yrs now, ritualistically, and I can say that Shep is simply an anchor that tries to give voice to rationalism. From Katrina to torture; zealots to morons: He is gonna let you know.
shep must b the only non acid blooded alien on foxnews who cares about humans. Honesty midst the misinfo of beck,reily,hanity &blonds. Uk nhs is the way 2go, flawed but fair. Shep should go 4 congress
It's why they keep him around. He's the 2nd most trusted news anchor in America. And has the highest rated programme on the network. In a sense, he legitimises the network.
I live in Ireland, and we have a medical card system for people who cannot afford health insurance. It really helps those families who have fallen into misfortune. Thousands of jobs have been lost here because of the current economic crisis. Health is a right and not a privilege in my opinion.
The same people who vote against this, are the people who claim to be "Good Americans". If you were good Americans, you'd look out for your fellow American brother who is falling on hard times.
I agree. But America has become the land of excess. Our stores throw away enough food in a week to feed America's needy, but would rather it spoil in the hopes of someone buying it then give it away too early. They cut up clothing to throw away so it doesn't get used. We put people in prison for smoking a plant, yet allow them to gamble and drink, and smoke cancer causing cig's.
We are fucked up M8, pray for us. These same "Good Americans" also call themselves "Good Christians".
Of all the guys on Fox, Shep is the only one I can stomach. I don't agree with him on everything, but he is one of the few on the network that makes any sense. And this is coming from an Independent voter.
The only way a public option would bring costs down is if it capped prices. That would lead to lower supply and rationing. Washington can't figure out medicare or VA, or even economic stimulus. How can we possibly expect them to manage a public option. They'll figure out how to use it for political leverage, but it's not going to do anything positive for people's health.
Medicare has a 3% overhead. Insurance has a 30% overhead. The fact that medicare is not properly funded doesn't take away from the fact that it is, in fact, run well and costs less than insurance.
This guy doesn't cease to astound me. I have so much respect for him. I wonder if he begins getting high ratings, really high like Glen Beck's, if this would be favorable for Fox or would it be unsound for them seeing as they don't care to represent the other side. Either way, I'm watching this guy on Fox.
wow his guy is powerful,if faux news was to fire him msnbc,cnn,abc,cbs etc would be after him but with that i think makes him more powerful for faux news to get rid of him if he is for truth!
Why hasn't Barrasso written and submitted a bill with all his "brilliant"/I hate people suggestions in it? Guess he forgot the oath he took when he became a doctor and has even beyond that entirely turned on the people who voted for him.
the argument that the public option would destroy the healthcare industry but also provide inferior care is a logical fallacy, it would only destroy the private insurers if they did not lower their prices reasonably and offer quality for the money. If the pub option sucks, private has no problem. I do not see it being any scarier than private and public schools co-existing. Imagine if we abolished public schools... hello serfdom.
GOP is not serious about healthcare reform. Otherwise, they would have done it when they had the majority (2000-2006). Democrats must be stupid, if they can´t understand this simple truth!
Haayy, our health care system badly needs some change.
Health insurance companies make money (lots of it) by paying as littlest as possible, not covering you when you most need it, and hoping you don't get sick (which is near to impossible).
Pls remember that these insurance companies would NEVER want any CHANGE or SOLUTION.
Unlike some of us, these insurance companies would fight together to protect & continue their billion profit schemes.
We should pray & work for solutions.Take care y'all.
Republicans, for the most part, represent corporate america. The democrats fought for every social service we have including medicare and medicaid and unemployment and benefits and minimum wage etc etc...
These rich CEO's have sold america out for their relentless amounts of profit. Unpatriotic, traitors.
You (R)'s don't hate Obama because he won the Nobel Prize. You (R)'s hate him because he reminds you of what it is like to have a country that leads again. Most importantly, You (R)'s hate him because he reminds you that you wish you learned to think for yourself.
Shep if you lose your job.. apply for the Liberal media... they will be glad to accept you... YOU THE MAN!! Finally someone on fox news stands up for the truth.
Well, he's not being quite as balanced in this interview anyway. Sounds more like Ed Schulz's commentary. Not that he's wrong, I mean, he has his moments.
And Fox hasn't evidently hushed him for the previous incidents.
Rita you're from Texas. So the answer is easy. Just tell your brother~boyfriend to shut off the lights when he makes love to you ... and won't see your fat thighs or ugly face. A paper bag over your head will help also.
Big Insurances do not stab each other in the back. They are exactly like Big Oils.
When the price at the pump was $4.00 and you crossed state lines and buy from a gas station of a different oil company ... the price was still $4.00 a gallon.
Even within the same state the price at the pump varied by only a single penny or two. RatpubliKKKans supporting Big Insurances know this.
In 2010 & 2012 we need to rid ourselves of all of them.
You could imagine a business in the situation where there is the possibility of competition coming, providing a better product at half their price... Shep is right ! Wake up people! You would do EVERYTHING to kill that competitor, buy the congress at all costs. To let the public option loose will reveal the markups on their policy (which are minimum 34% profit). If you pay $6000/yr to Aetna, $2000 is just for the bonuses and shareholders - per YEAR. Only the govt can set up a non-profit policy.
Get it, people? If govt comes out with a $3000/yr insurance policy with no caveats, it will BLOW AWAY what the insurance companies are providing at $6000+ with limitations, co-pays, and banned coverage!
But notice the postage stamp didn't put couriers out of business at 15X the price! Why fight against an OPTION???
as i said; she quit for reasons that are unknown to you and i.
anyone with a any part of of a brain values education. those same folk do not value hypocracy. but most know they cannot just speak up anytime, anywhere. unless they have turretsif they have turrets; they are excused cause they know no better. i have children also, they are guided.
Palin never said she saw russia from her porch. that was an SNL skit. most idgits thought it was sarah
You entirely missed my point. If the majority of healthcare is spent on 5% of people, and way more than 5% percent of people participate in unhealthy behavior, (and on this we agree) clearly the unhealthy behavior isn't an issue.
Funny how most GOP think she would be a good President despite quitting her responsibilities for AK.
I think I could have walked in her shoes better despite the pumps: I research before I speak. I value education. I don't value hypoccrisy. If I see something wrong, I say something. I guide my children in the right direction!
You get all this without seeing Russia from my porch or stating that I read any and ALL books!
i was pushing myself out of this chair when i heard the familiar new mail noise....
So.
2012? i planned for my future. i have no idea hwat sarah has planned three years from now. now do i know if i would vote for her. as far as i know, she has not stated her position on what what may happen in the future, or what concerns me three years from now.
Asia? don't know bout that.
she seemd to have success with alaska tho. from what i have read, Our latest state did well when she was in charge.
twist and shout Deep. you are twisting my words and shouting it to the those who disagree with me. I never said I could remove my own appendix. I said I pay for my own health insurance. when my appendix burst (three years ago), i went to hosp and they yanked it. I had a co pay. i paid it. gladly. I only wish i could have avoided the catheter......
so now we are criticizing symantics on youtube? I thought this was a free forum for debate. not the kind of place where an average cat could speak without proof reading or a thesaurus.
yes i meant insurance. in trying to keep up with the responses, i haven;t the time or desire to use spell check or proof read what my fingers hunt and peck on this keyboard. i figured the gist of what i was saying had more weight than what my obvious typing skills lacked. on that battle field; you win.
Deep: neither of my parents use , nor will they ever need medicare. they prepared for the future and tuaght me to do the same.
they always said i am responsible for my future, and i have acted accordingly.
you keep bringing up roads and such. I have agreed with you from the beginning of our conversation here. the things i want the gov for is a short list.
Roads, police, fire, military, Moon rovers etc, LIMITED reserved land for parks. I.E.: those things in which i cannot do on my own.
senya: go to an ER and say you are dying but have no health care. see what they do.they will treat you. they have to by law.they took a hypacratic oath. NO ONE IN THE USA IS DENIED MEDICAL TREATMENT -IT IS THE LAW
i do not want my mommy or my daddy to provide me a safety net in case i cannot meet the obligations i signed up for. nor do i expect or want the US gov to do that either. when i was a kid, it was nice to know they were there. But now I am a grown man. I made my bed; I will lie in it.
shimmy: Do your Mom & Dad use Medicare? You may never want a safety net but maybe your Mom & Dad do?
You may not expect the U.S. gov't to provide a safety net but when you drive one those roads or receive the benefit of the military you are receiving benefits of socialism.
Conservative radio only tells you that you did this all on your own. You did not. Neither did Rush, Beck or Hannity.
first; i do not know what a teat is. nor have i ever placed my lips on it. second; i am not (R). Third, if my boss was not willing to pay overtime, i would not work it. Fourth; i actually did get hurt at work once. the bureau of worker comp is a joke. did not use that. tried, but i nearly got carpal tunnel filling out paperwork. they made it so tough to get the (my) money i paid into it, i gave up and used savingstil i recovered .AND i still have my house.
How does Shep expect private health insurers to compete with a public option? For example Aetna paid their CEO Ronald A. Williams $40.2 Million in total compensation. The public option does not have a CEO to pay $40 million dollars to, the only way Aetna can compete would be to cut their CEO's salary, the poor guy only makes $3 million a month, how can he support his family on less than 40 million dollars a year?
Shimmy870 How much does the death insurance cartel pay you to spread their lies? does your conscious bother you knowing your trying to defeat a government option that will keep the 45,000 who die every year from dying.
you just made my point. gov folk have the best available. whether it be healthcare or the prettiest buildings in town. they do not play by everyone elses rules. they have unlimited cash flow. they can get the best brightest for whatever they need.
they can do this because there is a few million gov employees (even less in upper gov) . us other 300 million saps pay for it. being rich means saying i don't care what it costs; and mean it. the gov is rich. I am not
He sounds like a democrat. Fox News will fire him for sure...

Why is it the people who hate Fox, say the most ignorant things, and or don't even watch it? Fox has a number of different types of people on it. I watch Fox all the time and I'm no far right loon, I can't stand Republicans, and I can't stand Democrats, but I know there are good men and women in both parties, those are the people you look for and vote for. I'm conservative on some issues, and liberal on some others.. I like common sense, truth, and compassion

healthcare is rising for 3 reasons:
1. people are skimming off the top.
2. we provide too many services to too many people (illegals, criminals, welfare whores)
3. more americans let their bodies go to hell and then when the moment of truth comes, they raid the system.

Shep you are an idiot. It is a gov take over.ARE DOCTORS GOING TO BE RUNNING IT ? NO!!! ARE PRIVATE INS COMPANIES GOING TO BE RUNNING IT ? NO!!! THE GOV IS..SO IT'S A GOV TAKEOVER.. Maybe if we could buy across st lines which would create comp. and we had REAL tort reform. . Look at SS ,medicare,and medicaid.They are BANKRUPT b/c of politicians stealing from the funds. And you for some reason think the gov can run healthcare?? I think you need to be over at MSLSD. U would fit right in.

and there's the problem, its not because medicare,and medicaid don't work, they do, and very well. . . like you said "They are BANKRUPT b/c of politicians stealing from the funds. " . . . Stop the stealing from funds and they'd be so much better off, the same would go for a public option.
Also, a govt take over would mean the government TAKING OVER. a public option is not a take over, universal healthcare would be a govt take over. However universal healthcare WORKS!

So, this is all the fault of 5% of Americans? I don't think so! 25% of Americans smoke, and 1/3 of Americans are overweight. But what about those of us with catastrophic diseases which are not caused by diet or smoking? Should we just go to hell? Finally, I'll note that Congress has its own public health care, paid for by the taxpayers. Hypocrites! ☺

I live in Ireland, and we have a medical card system for people who cannot afford health insurance. It really helps those families who have fallen into misfortune. Thousands of jobs have been lost here because of the current economic crisis. Health is a right and not a privilege in my opinion.

Medicare is not purchased: You don't purchase a medicare insurance package. The Public option would be purchased by citizens, unlike Medicare.
Shep is exactly right. A public option is not a freaking take over.
If you like your BlueCross then keep it, but pple who can't afford 1200 a month will just purchase the less expensive public option instead.
P.S. those who say govt entities are always horrible are wrong. Look at: NASA, EPA, FDA, CIA, FBI, DOJ, Fed Court system, NAVY, Army, Marines

The only way a public option would bring costs down is if it capped prices. That would lead to lower supply and rationing. Washington can't figure out medicare or VA, or even economic stimulus. How can we possibly expect them to manage a public option. They'll figure out how to use it for political leverage, but it's not going to do anything positive for people's health.

the argument that the public option would destroy the healthcare industry but also provide inferior care is a logical fallacy, it would only destroy the private insurers if they did not lower their prices reasonably and offer quality for the money. If the pub option sucks, private has no problem. I do not see it being any scarier than private and public schools co-existing. Imagine if we abolished public schools... hello serfdom.

Haayy, our health care system badly needs some change.
Health insurance companies make money (lots of it) by paying as littlest as possible, not covering you when you most need it, and hoping you don't get sick (which is near to impossible).
Pls remember that these insurance companies would NEVER want any CHANGE or SOLUTION.
Unlike some of us, these insurance companies would fight together to protect & continue their billion profit schemes.
We should pray & work for solutions.Take care y'all.

Big Insurances do not stab each other in the back. They are exactly like Big Oils.
When the price at the pump was $4.00 and you crossed state lines and buy from a gas station of a different oil company ... the price was still $4.00 a gallon.
Even within the same state the price at the pump varied by only a single penny or two. RatpubliKKKans supporting Big Insurances know this.

You could imagine a business in the situation where there is the possibility of competition coming, providing a better product at half their price... Shep is right ! Wake up people! You would do EVERYTHING to kill that competitor, buy the congress at all costs. To let the public option loose will reveal the markups on their policy (which are minimum 34% profit). If you pay $6000/yr to Aetna, $2000 is just for the bonuses and shareholders - per YEAR. Only the govt can set up a non-profit policy.

Get it, people? If govt comes out with a $3000/yr insurance policy with no caveats, it will BLOW AWAY what the insurance companies are providing at $6000+ with limitations, co-pays, and banned coverage!
But notice the postage stamp didn't put couriers out of business at 15X the price! Why fight against an OPTION???

How does Shep expect private health insurers to compete with a public option? For example Aetna paid their CEO Ronald A. Williams $40.2 Million in total compensation. The public option does not have a CEO to pay $40 million dollars to, the only way Aetna can compete would be to cut their CEO's salary, the poor guy only makes $3 million a month, how can he support his family on less than 40 million dollars a year?
