Just watched Friday's (14/08/09) Real Time and loved this segment. It summarises the impression that we seem to get in England.
Also: Lay off the NHS, it's ours. It may not be perfect, but it tries and usually succeeds.
Real Time with Bill Maher belongs to Bill Maher and HBO
@sinner539 Thankfully the mandate has been shot down and not the expansion of Medicaid and now single payer is looking more realistic everyday.

Well, I hope none of these retards live in Vermont, it's about to get "free health care" and maybe Oregon too. Hopefully the rest of the country follows those states.

Not about being hopeful or optimistic, it's about being realistic. That's what the plan being proposed is. Its passing would likely damage real reform efforts.
Like Senator Russ Feingold has said, we can't pass health care reform in name only. Sadly, that's what it's looking like will happen.
A mandate to purchase private insurance without a strong public option open to all Americans will be a disaster.

Prepare to be disappointed if/when the dems health care 'reform' bill passes. It's not what you think it is. There won't be universal health care in the US, it will be a mandate to purchase private insurance which will only make things more expensive for everyone. All to protect and enrich private insurance.
Just look at how MA has fared under their "UHC" plan(a mandate). Their premiums have gone up since and pay the most in the country. We are fucked if it passes, fucked if it doesn't.

yo bra, we are by no means screwed.
our best days are ahead. we will pass health care reform and the mega-hate, right-wing loony-tunes will simply writh and stew in their own hate filled crazy juices.
