This aired again tonight on the eve of passing lousy watered down bill and it is so sad this provocative comment (which I agree 95%) that Keith Olberman is one of just a handful of mainstream media with courage to take on the cause of health care as a human right. This is not to say people don't need to get off their fat ass and take some responsibility for what choices they make in life. Need prevention and alternative modalities in some type of single payer system based on ability to pay

My skin crawls reading people's opposition to gov't intervention into health care. Do the letters USPS ring a bell? Well, why can gov't be charged with mail, is mail more important than health? Then UPS, DHL, Fed-Ex give us alternative. If you think politicians are corrupt-ELECT ONES U TRUST! DEMOCRACY! I left the U.S. in 2007.Now I live in Germany-they treat u as a human here. I am an Iraq war veteran. I used medicaid when I got out of the Army for myself and my 2 y/o son and German wife----

Yes, I want to laugh at Americans who have such ignorant views but can not. So it is a violation of civil liberties to make it law to have health insurance? So much that making people have car insurance is. We can allocate tax money for everything from wars(justified or not), public roads, politicians health care.Get my drift?It is not communism guys. I now live in Europe and use and love their system! It works, make it work. Don't like it, reform it. HEALTH CARE FOR ALL!

Agreed. The Gov has no business forcing me or anyone else to purchase health insurance. I don't need big brother to hold my hand and wipe my ass. I'm in control of my own destiny. The Government has screwed up every single program they have started beyond repair. Just look at the USPS, Medicaid/Medicare, Social Security, and even Cash for Clunkers. The list is too long to continue...

Besides. He's wrong about the role of government. Government is NOT in place to make us healthy or protect our health!
Government should protect my sovereign rights!
Ironically he said the government should protect it's citizen's lives ... and yet he would be the first to say that a woman can kill a child (citizen) in her womb. After all, it's HER CHOICE! right? (satire)

LOL
Get rid of the big bad insurance companies that are run by some big bad greedy corporate thugs .... ???
This comment cracks me up!
Justify the take over of the insurance industry because of corrupt greedy people.
AND WHO THE HECK DO YOU THINK WILL TAKE IT OVER? AND WHY?
POLITICIANS ARE MORE CORRUPT THAN THE LOWEST INSURANCE COMPANY CEO! And you want THEM to be in charge of this? With no choice? .... no option?
You're taking away my right to refuse it!
Refuse and get fined
Don't pay and ..

and you're going again with the boogie woogie shout.
If you were a lil honest.. or thoughtful, you would mention that under the public option.. you would have to take the public option or keep your own insurance. If you decide not to get either, you going to the emergency woul drive up our prices, that's why you get charged
Even if people voted for the war.. it ended up being mistake.. where were you during 'that' bit of governmental waste ;p On the side that refuse to call it a mistake?
-
Red,
And again, it would be handy if you had read the details for yourself on the bills that show "public option" has mandates to force you into health care insurance or pay additional taxes.
If you have the bill HR 3200 it would be on page 110 since you don't believe me!
And again.. didn't YOU know that your Democrat buddies voted overwhelmingly to support the war, and then each year to fund the wars, and even NOW support funding the wars!
In fact... obamer MAY send in 20,000 MORE troops!
-
depending on how they make the bill. If it's a public option, then it'll be paid for by the people that use it.. much like how we pay our insurance company.
The only real difference they'll be is... one insurance company is federal :).
You're making a lot of hay over very 'little' Though it's funny how you're worry when the cost is about health care.. when for almost 6 years we spent money on bull crap.. like iraq.
If i wasn't sure you were a conservative. I would take you seriously.
I have to confess... I cried with his passion.
Thanks Keith. You are the best!
