And the public option isn't there to wipe out insurance companies but compete w/ them. Public and private can compete in a lot of other sectors just fine. If Humana or United can't handle it, it's b/c they've been protected from anti-trust laws since the 40s.

SS and medicare would be in the black on Monday if we didn't limit contributions to the first 90K or 100K of income or whatever the cap is.

The rest of your post is unfounded conjecture.

[washappnin]

Actually medicare and SS are already basically bankrupt. Retirees NOW can't even live off the little measley chump change from SS. SS is a great concept but the problem with it is that most the people that recieve SS have never paid a dime into it and the people that worked and paid into it their whole lives won't even see a dime of it, atleast my generation won't. And the problem with medicare is now the baby boomers are gonna overloading it won't be able to support that many seniors at once

[washappnin]

So government running healthcare and having the IRS enforce it is the answer? If you think insurance companies deny alot of claims wait till you see what the government does. Most people don't know this but MEDICARE denies more claims every year than the top 5 health insurance companies combined.

@washappnin by law emergency rooms can't turn away patients, but that doesn't mean the patients will get the service free of charge. you will get treated, but for some folks it will be very difficult to pay off the fee without insurance.

Look at the cancer survival rates AFTER diagnosis in America compared to Europe or Canada. America is way higher than Europe because they have to sit and wait months to start treatment. Now that is unreal to me. This would never happen in America and it's another perfect exmple of GOV. heathcare. Here is an article published by a British paper showing how much higher American survival rates are:

So fucking stupid this commercial is! It doesn't matter if you don't have insurance you can never be turned away from treatment because it's ILLEGAL you dumb fucks! It's so funny when people think that if you don't have healthcare you can't go to a hospital and you just have to lay there and die HAHAHAHA. The hospital I currently work at the lazy ass unisured floks who don't have insurance get better treatment than the insured people do and they expect the nurses to wait on them hand and foot.

@Mab879

I bet it will bankrupt America. Just like all those other bad ideas. You know, like medicare, social security, public schools, public libraries, socialized police and fire departments, and a public highway system. Who needs that nonsense? The RIGHT way to save America is by illegally invading countries that didn't attack us.

you have to make the problems this clear to the adults. otherwise many don't understand. good video, thanks.

Yes the govt. is in debt, but that's nothing new. At least if they DID try to close loopholes people will have a voice. Even if it's not as much as we want, it's far better than what we have with insurance companies. They don't have to worry about our votes at all, and their motivation is profit for themselves and their shareholders. I'm not saying the govt. is perfect, but I trust it more than Aetna or Blue Cross. Of course, we'd have a heck of a lot more $ if it weren't for these wars...
