Representative John Shadegg's Town Hall Pt. 10

John Shadegg is the Arizona State Representative for District 3. In the town hall meeting held on August 8, 2009, Mr. Shadegg provided his alternative to reforming the healthcare system. It did not include going after the insurance companies, as it has become cliche' in recent months to go after private enterprise companies that pose a competitive edge to the federal government. Mr. Shadegg's proposal includes tort reform for medical malpractice suits and uninsured pools.

WHO says so? I mean, if you are going to take the WHO's word that we have the worst, then, why not elect a world government to run every country.

of course not. that is absurb.

there have been plenty of attempts to change the laws which would not allow these things to happen. but the statists (of both parties) who want total control always vote it down.

[kirly]

you don't have to "what if" that one. Just look to ANY country with a single payer option and you'll find it is NOT cheaper. It is a MASSIVE bureacracy which bleeds the entire country dry and which always results in rationing.

And what if a public option works out to be cheaper for everybody? Insurance premiums have gotten expensive over the years. You know how badly the US is ranked by the World Health Organization?

There are individuals who have been left to die by the insurance companies because they found loopholes to deny people care. Is that acceptable to you?

[kirly]

Absurd! I have NEVER had any care denied me at all! EVER! And I've had plenty of healthcare. Broken bones. Structural bunions. Tendons. Hysterectomy. 3 chronic conditions.

And the guy on this vid who complains about how he has spent $40k of his own money on his health care... i was there. I'm sorry that he has an expensive condition. But come on. He basically said he wants me and you to pay for his care rather than himself. I find that annoying.

[kainedamo]

Republicans have had their chance to fix the healthcare system and have failed repeatidly. The insurance companies profits rely on finding loopholes to deny people care.
