Grandma Got Run Over by Her Health Care Music vid spell corrected

Health Care Debate (this video spell checked sorry abut last one)
Singing report: I asked about 100 Ohioans about Healthcare, this past week. The hot rhetoric the past few months on government inserting itself between you and your doctor and your health care, is not served by screaming and yelling. This is a point the president and I agree on. Better to get informed and know the facts. No need to be mad at President Obama, he is doing what he said he would. Weren't you listening? The Blue Dog democrats that I poke fun at in the song and video are the key presently.

If you recall 82 percent of America was squarely against the first bailout by GW Bush, and I am still mad at Tiberi (2nd bill), Voinovich, Brown, et al for voting for it. I am sorely disappointed by the Republicans and astonished at the Democrats that continually prop up and postpone the inevitability of the markets.
Had I bothered to go to the convention, I would have gone as the Unknown Republican with a paper bag over my head. The audio of this song is at http://reluctantrepublican.com feel free to download and share; get the free market message out.

ISNT IT INSANE TO THINK GOVERNMENT CAN FAIRLY BE BOTH REFEREE (REGULATOR) AND PROVIDER IN THIS OR ANY OTHER MARKET? If implemented, government will soon be the only game in town if we continue. They keep saying it wont be like Canada but they are using many of the same talking points used in Canada and the UK to impose this scheme on its citizens. Few Ohioans may remember (read history) Governor Whites 1933 promise of a temporary sales tax. And the 1913 promise of we will only tax the rich as the IRS, the Fed, and loss of state legislators power to appoint Senators all became law. Thats why Senators now think they are kings of the U.S. they can play for favors nationwide not just at home. The point of this song is to encourage citizens to think and provide thoughtful, respectful questions. Get informed this HC plan cannot stand up to questioning by informed citizens.

Describe your proposed "free market solution." If I am hearing you properly, you are proposing that the health care industry and employers will act ethically and responsibly toward their patients and employees if government will just leave them alone. Do you seriously believe that big money can be trusted to police itself?

[gooddebt]

Government would still regulate. Right now they are keeping companies from competing. You assume government will act ethically? Is it ethical for the government to expect us to believe that it can be both referee and provider? With true competition the consumer enforces ethical behavior by being able to change compaines without penalty or loss of coverage. There are simple things that could be done without cost. We don't need a gov takeover. Name one thing they took over that improved? anything?

[basiceclectic]

I've watched for your reply for a few days but you have not posted. So, I will summarize and close our discussion. If the U.S. is going to successfully compete globally, it will have to be healthy. That means that the bottom third of our population must get healthier to be very productive. It will be much cheaper to do it in prevention rather than the emergency room. I commend this administration for its attempt at health care improvements. George HW and George W Bush didn't even bother to try.

[gooddebt]

I too commend the attempt and the rhetoric but not their actions. I'll post another video in a few days and try to summarize.

Have a nice labor day.

[basiceclectic]

Big money is trying to divide Americans against one another so that nothing will improve. Anyone who is against health care reform must be stupid. We have 50 million uninsured and the the number is growing because employers refuse to offer affordable health care. Do you think that the Republicans will offer a decent alternative? If they were serious, they would have done it in the 90's. They didn't. Don't be fooled! Check out this book: T.R. Reid: Looking Overseas For 'Healing Of America'

[gooddebt]

You cite the numbers from the WH talking points. Which is grossly inaccurarte (i.e. 2 trillion dollars off on deficeit also). And I am not for a Republican plan either. It is a false argument that we need one or the other. We need a free market solution. In 1913 thinking such as yours voted in the IRS to tax the top 1 percent of Americans. Now we all pay more than 56 taxes, BTU, FCC (cellphones), property (passed on to tenants that vote), and many many more. Read some objective stuff please

[cdig2000]

Obama and Nancy Pelosi don't really care about heath care, they care about controlling everyone...they care about kissing the union's butts because they put him in power. If this thing passes, those of us with health care will pay more than we are now, and those who choose not to buy health care will have to buy it. Our country can't afford it anyway. People will still get fat, smoke, etc. Let's just fix the problems with the current system, and forget the IRS having more control over our lives!

[cdig2000]

No, I've just been around since the 50's when things were much simpler when the government wasn't trying to take over everything...by the way, the socialists are the people taking over the auto companies, siding with the labor unions who have managed to put our auto companies almost out of business. They, by the way, are now being run by the government. Fix the system 1 problem at a time, no major overhaul. Help the people that need it get health care, but don't let the government run anything.

[halfbroPS3]

@basiceclectic You're an ahole...what exactly was reformed retard? NOTHING! You just an obamadroid that thinks in socialism just like him. If you think obamacare is going to fix healthcare you better go see a shrink before the govt denies you access...RETARD!

[halfbroPS3]

@basiceclectic And who the fuuck said everyone should get health care? obama is the worst fuucking president ever...my solution is get the govt out of my business and get obama out of office.

[MrWepps]

No surprise, health care costs are skyrocketing.

[mouse9111]

FUCK THIS im moving to Europe this is BS. its either Europe or revolution.

[vadodgecowboy]

@basiceclectic But!!! do not go against the american people who clearly stated they did not want the obamacare!!!

[2tolerant]

The free market solution to healthcare cost is for government to allow AAA, BBB, down to the least regulated, lowest quality, highest risk (for patient), least expensive CCC rated healthcare clinics to exist and compete amongst themselves for customers. CCC clinics, having the least regulation, will be the least expensive (no insurance needed). If they happen to provide almost BBB quality service to their customers then, in free market fashion, BBB customers will switch over, lowering their cost

[Honorbright24]

Both sides are crooked.

[elooveee]

not one person should die from this health care. and if they do I (HOPE) the shots will ring loud in this governments ear.not my grandma not today not for OBAMA!

[wadetberry]

OMG love it! I was a 4th Generation Democrat... I just became a Republican!! This healthcare is just one of many reasons why!
