Health Care Organizing Kickoffs - June 6, 2009

Watch a new documentary called Money Driven Medicine ...on PBS, August 28th 2009

Our president's healthcare reform plan means another step closer to socialism. if you don't know what that means look it up or ask me. I'd be happy to explain it to you.

Obama was forced by Howard Dean and Paul Krugman to put the Public Option back in. Funny how Obama had to back-peddle his way out that embarrassing situation. It's so wonderful having an incompetent President.

i dont know much about his health plan, but is it the same as we have here in canada? cause all i know is canada has free health care and operations, we pay a bit for medicine at the pharmacy but not alot.

Yesterday, President Obama announced he is withdrawing the Public Option. Government run health care is now a dead issue. Everyone keeps their private health insurance, there will be no death panels and the government will not have access to our bank accounts.

When I see videos like this, it truly brings such a pleasant feelings to my heart, just looking at the pictures and how all kinds of different races, ages, shapes and perhaps back grounds of people are getting together to do good and that to my mind will have far greater positive impact on the American society than any thing else, because people now know, it is possible and it is happening right in front of their own eyes.
That is the legacy of President Obama and his team.

In order for the far-left to pass their takeover of our health care, they must be banking that everyone is comatose. No rational person who reads the bill would support it.

Sounds noble, but...

91% have health insurance. 85% of those are satisfied with their country.

So, reform should fix issues, not remake the system (which is 1/6 of the economy), Keep the government out of healthcare.

Note: Obama voted against reform when he was in the Senate.

moonphibes- sorry dude, but that doesnt make sense that our care is the most expensive because we spend the most on research? but as you stated, we also recieve the revenues- beside, how does that explain the fact that americans pay 2-3x's more for the same exact medicines, from the same exact pharmaceuticals?, you are right that medicines are one reason our system is the most expensive in the world, but not for the reasons you state- other nations govs use there leverage to bargin costs-

The U.S. does spend more on health care. Because the U.S. dominates the biopharmaceutical field, accounting for three quarters of the worlds biotechnology revenues and spending in research and development. The U.S. produces more new pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and affiliated biotechnology than any other country, or the Western European nations combined. The top five U.S. hospitals carry out more clinical trials than all the hospitals in any other country combined.
