America - why do you think it is OK to DENY HEALTH CARE to your fellow Citizens and Human Beings?

You are a SICK bunch of people!!!

USA - Do you realize that the WORLD looks upon you with DISGUST and CONTEMPT when you allow this kind of tragedy to happen to your own people?

USA - Your Rich Politicians and Capitalists who allow this kind of inhuman suffering to come upon poor uninsured men, women and children should be arrested, jailed, put on trial...and then executed.

USA = Evil Nation!!

@PaulDougouba It wouldnt surprise me to learn that the rest of the world thinks less of America because is can justify allowing many of its citizens to go without health care by saying that covering them is tantamount to a "loss of freedome." Yes, we live in a country of lies, political ideology, and self-dellusion.

My heart goes out to the woman with high blood pressure who says she's going to die. I would be crying too. Can you imagine how powerless she's feeling, especially knowing that medicine to help her exists? Actually, you might, since this happens to so many Americans- maybe you're one of them. We might have the world's best health care, but that only matters if you have access to it. It's truly tragic.

But of course, the "free market will fix this problem." Yeah, right.

This recent free health care fair in LA illustrates the desperate need for health care reform in America. How those opposed to health care reform can look at this scene and ignore the need based on some need to "protect the Free Market at all cost" (even at the cost to our humanity) is beyond me.

As a British man I want to say how PATHETIC and Evil you Americans are to do this to your own people.

I read that there are 5 MILLION American children without ANY health care or even access to a bloody doctor.

Does that make you Americans Proud? Does that want to make you get out your ratty ass American Flag and wave is back and forth and sing "God Bless America"? Disgusting!

Yeah....You Yanks are SO PROUD to say how GREAT you are - yeah GREAT at DENYING health care to your own people...

That couple that waited 3 days for health care remind me of my parents.

I cannot believe this is happening the the United States.

If congress and Senate would spend time looking at these people in LA lined up for care ...maybe they would get busy!

Wishful thinking?
