Why is Pat Buchanan YELLING through the whole discussion?

[Zachw2007]

@Enilorac987654321 Pat's really old man, come on. He can probably can't hear Ms. Maddow and Chris Matthew's very well. I'll probably be yelling when I'm 79 like he is.

Rachel, you go--what a gal! why does Pat B. yell every time he talks and Rachel keeps her cool=she is right and he knows it but doesn't want to admit it! plus now it is 12/2008 and look at the billions of dollars spent on the so call "bail-outs"/executive bounus, which could have been spent to insure the children--Pat said no $ to insure the children but $ was available for the executive bounus/bail out funds....

One payer system is the only way to go.

Private health insurance is a private tyranny that only exists in United States. It's a rather barbaric system that tells you you're health is only worth what you can afford.

People in United States should get behind, and support, HR 676. If you don't know what it is learn about it! GM & Ford are going bankrupt because of the rising cost of health care. If United States had single-payer system, the companies wouldn't have to worry about it.

If someone is making $80000 a year, they SHOULD be able to get insurance for their kids, but what if they don't? Just let them die?

And people are using the whole $80000 thing as an excuse to say it's bad idea anyway. The point is, it would also benefit the poorest people.

Without thinking of politics or economics or anything, which is right? Free health care for kids, or letting children, both rich and poor, die? The government always manages to pay for what it wants to pay for.

If someone is making $80,000 a year they should be able to get health care for their kids without the taxpayers paying for it. $80,000 is not poverty level income.
