Osirysteamo, subscriber below, I agree with you. It is so sad and upsetting when I hear people say that Obama is a communist or a socialist because they are puttng a label on him, judging him, and stereotyping him. I've even heard it on Christian television and radio. I thought those were the people that cared about people and helping them but I hear a lot of Christian radio and tv judging our president and calling him names. It's not right.

Republicans, health insurance companies are feeding this idea that Obama is trying to socialize the health care system--Obama wants ALL people to have access to health care---it is something good. SAY NO TO COMERCIALIZED HEALTH--FOR PROFIT HEALTH CARE---SAY NO TO THE SYSTEM WE HAVE NOW--SAY YES TO A REFORM!!!1

If you read between the lines, you would realize that nationalized health care would eliminate the government programs for needy people ie, medicare, medicaid, section 8, food stamps. Earning minimum wage would be enough for a person to have a place to live and be able to eat. But when a Dr. visit costs three days pay, or filling a cavity costs 4 days pay, or a prescription costs a week's pay, you give up. You are going to be on the streets anyway.

We need the public option. The insurance companies will screw us without it.

The Republicans want to help the rich and screw the poor. They dont care about the majority of people.

They want to cut taxes for the rich, but then there is less money for social programs for the poor and middle class. Republicans don't want a public option, because there insurance buddies wouldn't be able to make as much money.

To the blue dog democrats, dont be traitors. Get back to your democratic roots.

Why would we want to give free health care to people who don't work for it? This is how socialism works. I get the same thing somebody else gets regardless of whether i or that other person works for it.
people shouldn't just get "handouts", that's just being lazy.

but personally, i think food stamps and welfare have truly helped. (off subj.) but i was once in the poor house because of 9-11. those programs saved my family. but it should only be acquired for a period of time. not whole lives.

Wow.
You know what. This kind of situation is SO UNcommon! Hospitals won't turn you down if you don't have health insurance. Geez. My mom is a PT at a hospital & a medical equipment sales person. My dad works in the pharmaceuticals, and NEVER have they EVER turned anyone down. My mom's given people pacemakers, billy blankets, etc. even if they can't pay for it. But those people who NEED it, will get it, to save their lives. God. This video is like a minority.

A lot of people are afraid to get treatment not because they'll be turned away, but because they'll be chased for the money later. The more ill you are, the worse that bill is likely to be.
