Why We Need Government-Run Universal Socialized Health Insurance

A cartoon explanation of why we need a public health insurance option.

Now that the health care bill has passed, my friend Andy Lubershane (the animator) has made another video about a topic near and dear to my heart: Climate and Energy. Please check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uf7IO3678ng

Animated by Andy Lubershane. More comics at http://www.earthlycomics.blogspot.com

Note: The data in this cartoon is supported by this report: http://www.ourfuture.org/healthcare/hacker, which includes a lot more detail on current proposals for a public option.

@LambdaKore Again UHC's do not force every one into the same one-size fits all what is does ensure is everyone as an healthcare suit to wear. Your views and values are wrong but at least you are more articulate than old Osambasucks2

[davijeph]

@LambdaKore You are I assume a citizen of the US? You choose to except being a citizen of that Nation (if you have not freely chosen to be why do you choose to live their).If you are their by your own freewill nobody is forcing you to do anything but in excepting your citizenship you must except that there are rights, duties and privileges that come with that citizenship. Those rights, duties and privileges have been given to you by the will of a free democratic peoples not "force"

@LambdaKore I have no wish to be applauded for anything if I did I would hardly choose the anonymity of youtube to seek it. My solution to healthcare is to try and supply all citizens with comprehensive healthcare at affordable cost to the nation.I don't actually care if it is government run it or its privately run. Try not to keep putting people into simple stereotypes am I a liberal a conservative a socialist a capitalist? Yes, to all none of those things are mutually exclusive of the other .

[LambdaKore]

@davijeph Again, if you're seriously concerned about the relative minority who suffer catastrophic health issues or are chronically uninsured, why not advocate for a system to cover them, rather than force EVERYONE into the same one-size-fits-all government solution, whether they want it or not? Simple answer: because you honestly just don't give a shit about people, period. For liberals, it really is all about the power and control.

[LambdaKore]

@davijeph To add insult to injury, you then want to be applauded as wise and just and brilliant for invoking government force to compel your stupid greedy neighbors (as liberals tend to view anyone who disagrees with them) into something you want, regardless of whether your neighbors want it also. The degree to which they resist you is usually the degree to which you are convinced that you are just and right in forcing yourself upon them.

[LambdaKore]

@davijeph Here's something to consider: conservatives view the role of government as a shield to protect themselves and their property from the depredations of others, a necessary evil to be invoked as sparingly as possible. Liberals tend to view government as a tool to do things for you or (more often the case) to you (usually phrased in terms like "for your own good" -- whether you want it or not).

[LambdaKore]

@davijeph The government is already the single biggest impediment between you and your doctor and the goods and services you want and need, so why would you seek to increase the government's role in that relationship? Either because you grossly misunderstand cause-and-effect, or because you know exactly what you're doing and all of this is by design.
