John Stossel - Sick in America - Part 5 (of 6)

Share with friends, lets begin to change minds people which have been corrupted for 100 years

neither public or private are enough good to give the patient the best. A woman went to the Doctor & she was hospitalized of 3 d, She had insuranc, She was charged US6000 out of her pocket, what was her problem, neither the doctor and the patient know. this is so ridiculous,It seems that this health care system was done by rich people as Stossel said, Cheyen, president of Spain and Italy,etc. Stossel is proud of this. but what about people with medium income. if they get cancer or something else

His point is that since insurance covers everything. No one knows the prices or cares. That is why doctors charge 1200 $ for a physical. Do you think it could be cheaper? Yes, it could, but no one looks at prices. That is the point. If there is a public option that covers everything, you can expect physicals to double at least. If your light bulb goes out in your house, do you call your home insurance company? Imagine how much lightbulbs would be if they were covered.

The system is not enough good. Health care is so expensive, it is not possible to compare food with heath care expenses, When you are sick all your money will or would run out. In addition. this health system find every single mistake to take your insurance off of the system. I think it would be better if public and private system exist, so every single person would have the right to choose the best, or maybe would have both of them.

Excellent piece by John Stossel.

lol, so, i guess, only one benefitting from this health care plan is doctors?

You know what I LOVE about the new HC bill?

It takes away Billions from Medicare/aid to...

Start ANOTHER HC program! Is it April 1st?? LOL

btw - medicare is already BROKE to the tune of TRILLIONS so I don't know where the govt is going to "take" it from...

If it's truly from fraud & waste - then why hasn't the system been CLEANED UP b4 now??

All lies, parlor games, slight of hand - riddlemethis - when was the last time govt delivered on a promise??

Like "BUDGET NEUTRAL" ?? What a joke

Ok, you are inte "alternative medicine". Then I understand why you is so ignorant.

The health care and medicins are supposed to be under competition. And just see what you have in US.

BASIC health care to all will get the prices down, as that will be a large buyer and be strong enough to not take high bidders. Companies want to sell to them.

So your sollution to the problem is?

You ARE ignorant!
I KNOW I couldent avoid it. I got a cold that went to the kidneys. I was in coma a couple of days. AND I treat my body well (73 kg is not over weight).

Sun IS the source of one of our major cancers. Ignoring it is just ignorant. But you should still be out in the sun.
I didn't have a cancer, mind you.

You CANT avoid pollution in water and air.

OK, this state of "health care" in US IS crayzy. What do you suggest to do about it? Becous YOU can get sick, despite how you do.

There is no alternative for Moore, or any American except private clinics. Your claim about critics of US systems are not allowed to use it is wrong.
Just becouse you have a basic health care fore every one, doesn't mean there could not be private ones too. So you have an epic fail in your resoning here.
His movie Sicko is free for all americans to download, as if it has to do with this?

Yes, Cuba has a shitty health care. But the lowest level there is better than the lowest in US.
