I think this video is very misleading. The assumption that insured people visit doctors more often than the uninsured ones is completely wrong. In Europe everyone is insured and there is no real lack of doctors and no queues in hospitals. So why the healthcare system works in Europe and not in US? I strongly recommend watching the movie Sicko to every American.

This videos are great. The healthcare reform law is extremely complex, while these video places everything into a great perspective as to what the healthcare reform law is and how it effects them.

I agree. I think the idea of fairness would make sense over privilege. If one sector does a poor job in their business allocate the economics to another that does their job better. It seems fair to say "you couldn't cut it" or "you made poor policy" so your position is now forfeit... Fair. Keeping what is broken is just causing things to be more broken and unfair.

Personally, the price of healthcare overall is what I am more curious about. Why are the prices so obnoxiously high? Why do hospitals charge 1/10 the cost of another hospital in a different state for the same procedure? Being insured is one thing to cover healthcare costs but the prices initially from the hospitals are what I believe should truly be addressed.

Its not necessarily going to force people to see the doctors more-just to get their money’s worth. Lots of people will still hate going to the doctors. And that’s an unfair assumption to make without knowing if it would happen or not.

I think if we look at alkaline foods vs. acidic foods , we will be able to overcome most ailments. Monsanto who makes chemicals also has alot to do with cancer causing agents in foods so go Organic. I am an insurance agent. Obama's Affordable Healthcare Act is supposed to help people , but look at Medicare. Older people can't afford drugs. Gov't runs senior care, now that the trust fund is running out, they need another group like under 65 to make money on. After all Big Gov't wants money.

I am an insurance agent and the cost of healthcare is already going up higher and higher. The Bill only made it so that people who do not have insurance because they have a pre-existing condition, it did not do anything for people who do not have insurance because they cannot afford it. Now it is going to be even more unaffordable and everyone has to have a policy.

People donate money to charity for all sorts of things. People donate to keep bike trails clean, to feed the hungry, and to train helper monkeys. We know this is true because they exist. Why is it so hard to believe that someone would donate to help someone with healthcare costs. (Their are charities for that already by the way) I think it is you who are the pig greedy swine bastard.

More people going to the doctor only equates to more people taking unecessary prescriptions for ailments that could be cured by simply eating an apple or a carrot... Prescriptions should be for organic fruit and vegetables not more poison coming from big pharma..It's all about money and NOTHING MORE!!! Govt.. doesn't give a rat's ass about your heath
