Real Health Care reform in America would be reforms that build on what we do well. Which is Freedom of Choice and the quality of our Health Care. And fix what doesn't work. Which is our costs and access to Health Insurance.

founding fathers were right

[trinsic1]

The free market is an illusion

[phillipmarch22]

In reality what these ignorant right wing freaks are saying is, "Keep government out of our healthcare, but don't touch my Medicare". If they only realized just how stupid they sound. Unreal! All the GOP knows to do is to instill fear. Well, fuck um! We are tired of it and after the last 8 nightmarish years, their rants and raves are falling on deaf ears. They are just sore losers and their opinions mean nothing!

Health advisors to Obama, Emanual and Sunstein believe in the Complete Lives System which basically gives care to people ages 15 to 40 and everyone else its drastically rationed. This is an extermination program. The socialized healthcare in England is the 3rd largest employer in the world and its almost all bureaucrats and few health care professions. No savings there and certainly no saving lives.

[phillipmarch22]

Nothing in the bill creates rationing. Do you realize that what you are saying is the EXACT bullshit arguments used to stop Medicare? Have you written your Congressman to repeal those programs? While you are at it, write them and request them to remove these programs: FDA, USDA, FAA, etc. You want small goverment? Move to Tijuanna, Mexico for a couple of months. You will certainly come back as a born again American!

why can't the us be more like these foreign countries? and get a system that works

[tintintabulations]

The insurance companies have tremendous power over the US government and the minds of the American people.

[phillipmarch22]

You are right tintin! The health insurance lobbyists and the pharma lobbyists are two of the biggest contributors. We need finance campaign reform is a big way. Then Congress can start caring about their people instead of trying to make money for their campaign.

[codefims]

How is the US system a market now when there are federal regulations on where you can get health insurance?

[Smartassawhip]

My grandparents had a successful business, a home, a condo, and plenty of top notch health insurance. Grandma got cancer. Insurance only pays so much. They lost everything.. including grandma.. now at 87 grandpa works 2 jobs so he can pay rent. This happens to people all the time. It can happen to you as well.

[Crashtest517]

I'm sorry to here about that, it's terrible. I think the real problem is insurance companies don't truly compete, this market is all screwed up, people don't know which companies shaft who and why, so we run to the government for help. We need reform there's no question, but I have less faith in the government than I do in informed citizen and for profit institutions.

[Smartassawhip]

That being the case it would be wise for you to remain loyal to your current insurance provider when the public health care option becomes available.

[Smartassawhip]

The USA has the ... "BEST SPECIALISTS" ... but our Health Care System stinks and is ranked as the Low 37th on a World Scale !! It's like saying "THE USA WON THE MOST GOLD MEDALS IN THE OLYMPICS ... SO THE ENTIRE AMERICAN POPULATION IS MADE OF TOP ATHLETES !!

When in reality we have an overweight & sick ...(cancer~heart diseases~diabetic)... population, compared to other nations. Don't buy into the Right-Wing propaganda.

[Crashtest517]

There is a great deal of problems, but the right wing isn't too far off, this becomes a discussion of ideals in the end. Personal responsibility vs collected responsibility, Americans are fatter and sicker than other nations partly because we eat terribly. As for our nation getting sick, should we help people who didn't save up to buy health care plans early on? I think we should have some help, but people should be cautious of thinking they have a moral right to other people's money/work.

quietness123 no problem, but I have had several children, my wife has had a major illness and I have some serious health issues myself. I have never had a major problem that couldn't be fixed with a phone call to my insurance company. It has never cost more than my co-pay

[FrsBigeasy]

I like the idea of the Private/Public Health Care system & everybody having to purchase Health Insurance.

But I don't know if forcing Health Insurers to accept everybody no matter if they can pay or not would work in America.

I would be for helping people who can't afford to purchase on there own purchase Health insurance rather then forcing Health Insurers accept everybody no matter if they can afford Health Insurance or not.

[ryer46]

phillipmarch22 i have had private insurance for more than 25 years and have changed companies more than once when I wasn't satisfied. I was able to shop and get the best price I have noproblem with it.

[quietness123]

ryer46 sorry to intrude your privacy but, have you ever had a health problem that was "costly".

If you haven't, you will someday and when that day comes I know your insurance company will fight you tooth and nail not to pay you shit.

[ryer46]

No problem, I have had several children , my wife have has had a major illness and I suffer from health issues myself. I have never had a problem with my insurance company that was quikly fixed and taken care of. Nothing I have done has ever cost me more than my co-pay

[allgoo19]

ryer46: "No problem, I have had..."

More than half of the personal bankruptcy filed in the us are caused by medical bill related debt.

You know the percentage in the other countries with the national health care?

[ryer46]

the entire government is fullof shit and could care less about you

[allgoo19]

ryer46: "the entire government..."

Is this your way of saying "I don't know the percentage"?

You seem to be very knowledgeable and opinionated. Why you don't know the information as important as this?

This was already answered by a congressman. The answer is "a few or none."

/watch?v=PIQvhG3SBDI

You believe you have no chance of facing bankruptcy while insurance companies pay a bonus to disqualify your eligibility just before you need a treatment?

[ryer46]

your a dick

[allgoo19]

ryer46: "your a dick.."

That's what you'll be saying to your insurance company when they deny your claim for the cancer treatment.

You'll be even happier when you find out the insurance agent gets bonus for that.

[allgoo19]

ryer46: "Wow your a bigger DICK than I thought"

Is that your concession? You have no intelligent arguments?

Tell me how much your pay for the health insurance now?

[allgoo19]

ryer46: "Hey get the cock out of? your mouth you DICK "

Stop sending a private message like this. Post it here instead, so anyone can see.

Don't you have anything meaningful to say?

[ryer46]

You definetly were abused as a child get a grip you are a tool

[Smartassawhip]

Exactly...I have seen people with insurance lose everything they own as a result of cancer even though they had insurance. It happens all the time and can happen to anyone.

[ryer46]

This is still just propaganda against the free market

[phillipmarch22]

Do you think that private insurance companies are shining examples of the free market? Cause if you do, you know nothing about the private insurance companies. A free market is where you have a choice to either go to your local hardware store or to Home Depot to get the best price for a hammer. The private insurance companies only compete within themselves to RAISE prices. I hope the public option puts every one of them right out of business. The raping has gone on for too long!

[allgoo19]

ryer46: "This is just propaganda against..."

Who gets the benefit from this propaganda, and who's paying for it?

[tls2156]

I am sad to see that not many people are looking at this documentary. this a must see for all Americans....especially republican conservative and socialism types.

[miketheday]

Great information and truth here! Watch both parts and you will be a much more informed citizen! You'll see how the USA is exploiting the citizens of America.

Great work here!

[nowellian]

Yes one candidate does learn from other countries and is the only one to support not for profit single payer universal health care!

Nader/Gonzalez!

If you don't vote for Nader you get what you deserve more of the same!

We are just another poor country. The US is becoming a 3rd world country and will continue to get worse as long as people keep voting for the lesser of 2 evils. Vote for real change, vote Nader.
