fuck all you Democrats and Republicans...

key word in this video is: SCAM!

[LeGioNoFZioN]

so your team losing is more important than competant effective legislation ? thats america's problem in a nutshell.

[nefariousgovernment]

Politicians here are not trying to pass Health Care bills to "help people", despite what they tell their uneducated constituents (or as they call them 'useful idiots'). The bills we have in the Senate and House were written by the Health Insurance and Pharma company lobbyists to ensure those industries get a LOT more customers and people get a LOT less choice in their lives. The politicians get ever more control over our lives, and the people lose more freedom...typical government program.

All want the "needy" helped, but for a country where "altruism" is found thru citizens threatened with violence from gov as it confiscates livelihood to fund their folly. Gov. h.c. is the antithesis of all the US was founded on 'cause our founders knew that gov can't be trusted with too much power. There are better answers to Health Care issues than "bigger government "...With all the economic issues in US we simply can't afford ANOTHER horribly inefficient, gov-run wealth confiscation program.

"Yeah yeah , rah rah, USA, USA! "

The only wealthy nation without all citizens having access to basic h.c.

Makes you proud does it?

Wing-nut.

America is a great country! The State-Run Media and Public Education is brainwashing us and the rest of the world into focusing on flaws instead of realizing the Truth.

The Truth is America is a Great Country founded on honorable and altruistic principles that have been corrupted by people seeking power over the past 100 years.

It is entitlements like government run health care that have been the tools used to brainwash people into believing a "Nanny State" is better than a Republic.

I don't blame you or any American for not having much faith in government. America's election & political systems are all about money and deep pocket special interests. It's why you are still being hosed by insurance companies. It's why little weasels like Joe Lieberman operates as the paid whore of the many insurance companies headquartered in his state.

[nefariousgovernment]

You have a lot more faith in the government than I and most of America have.

The problem with people like you is no imagination. The debate should not even be about h.c. insurance. The debate should be on how to most cost effectively provide access to good basic h.c. for all citizens, reduce unnecessary admin. costs and other unnecessary diversions of h.c. $, and still ensure research funding & incentives to maintain a high level of innovation.

If both parties started with that goal, and not some partisan political motives, maybe the U.S would have a better chance.

Finally, it's still won't be "government h.c." since private doctors & hospitals would still be private.

It would only be a far more cost efficient h.c. financing system.

[megarational]

If you are saying that the poor or those who can't afford h.c. insur.will be getting a handout, consider: a) that's what your present system does now, except through the expensive emergency wards, b) the graduated inc. tax financing is more cost efficient - no filing for subsidies, no diversions to private insur. co's for lobbying etc, and c) the alternative is health care only for those that can afford it - a pretty disgraceful ideal for a so-called advanced Christian nation.

[megarational]

The heath care financing system you have now is the bloated monstrosity.

As for handouts, where are the handouts if everyone is contributing through the progressive income tax system, the most efficient and already existing infrastructure. It also spreads the cost across the broadest base, & since tax rates are based on income it also ensures h.c. fro everyone regardless of income.
