No, their media is more truthful. Americans are stupid because their media outlets host liars and lunatics.

Watching this debate play out from Canada is sad. The blatant lies that Americans have been told about our health care system would be funny if they weren't so full of evil intent.

Sadly, there is no hope that Obama will have the courage to confront and shame the many members of congress who have been bought and paid for by the health care industry.

Meanwhile, Canada (along with most civilized countries) will continue to enjoy the competitive advantage of universal health care.

Great courage!!!!! Health care is the most important progressive mission of the 21st Century like Medicare was in 1965. It is horrible to see millions with no health insurance. That is wrong. Mr. Moyers thanks for showing us this.

NO! NO! NO! to this health care bill; it all sounds good when Obama gets on the air waves blowing smoke up people's ASS! What he isn't saying is under this new Health Care Plan the parents or parent with children has to keep there child on there health care plan until they reach the age 26! I've always been a Democrat and even voted for Obama, but I must agree with the rep on this one there is parts of this bill that really "stinks", and the public is in for a very rude awaking should this pass.

Insurance CEO's should not be allowed to sleep at night. That is their reward that money can't buy.

Wow way to stereotype.

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for ONE people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and EQUAL station to which the Laws of Nature and of Natures God ENTITLE them, a Decent Respect to the opinions of HUMANKIND requires that they should declare the CAUSES which impel them to the separation.-"from FOR PROFIT CANNIBALS!

Congress is on solid Constitutional ground in expanding health insurance coverage in essentially any fashion that is politically and socially feasible.

The individual mandate may well be odious for other reasons without a strong public option, it basically forces everyone to become a customer of a private insurance monopoly. But constitutionality aint one of em.

[robb1031]

All the Repugs love the Tenth Amendment, which is usually what they are referring to when they call something unconstitutional (except for, of course, gun control). It says, The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." I'm not a constitutional scholar, but I am not aware of any otherwise valid laws being struck down by the Supreme Court on the basis of that Amendment.

you want health care but you're gonna get screwed.
