This is really SICK. No one in the USA has a right to say anything about other countries and how they treat their citizens if they don't stand up and do something about how our health industry is KILLING PEOPLE!

Universal health care. It's not that difficult.

@lightweight101

No, it isn't. But you can be damn sure that the insurance industry will make it so, probably under the rubric of "wealth redistribution".

A new report from Amnesty International says the maternal health care crisis in the U.S. is part of a systemic violation of women's rights, Time reported. The human rights group notes that the likelihood of a woman dying in childbirth in America is five times greater than in Greece, four times greater than in Germany and three times greater than in Spain. Amnesty says half of the pregnancy-related deaths in the U.S. are preventable, and the result of systemic failures.

USA = Evil Nation!

@MMcGuire5 so you would rather have a government that tells you what to do what to eat when you should do these things what you cant do and what you cant see and what you cant say

[MillionthUsername]

The reason costs are prohibitively high is because we don't have freedom. The gov't shut down the market in hundreds of ways over decades. This is the fruit of socialism, of central planning, of the lack of liberty.

There are thousands of pages of laws which restrict people from buying and selling freely. Gov't steals money from people, makes them poor, then tries to control their lives with a corrupt system where they hand out favors to their friends through regulation.

That is what is sick!

@MMcGuire5 i know it's late but...HAHAHA!- "WalFart"! LOL!!

[MrWombatPPC]

As one man in the movie said. If they can find money for wars, they can find money for health care.  So it makes you wonder why they choose the evil way instead of the christian way... Oil = money = Power = Greed = Coruption.

[MMcGuire5]

Socialism has to be better than the capitalistic pigs like corporations and Wal-Fart

[abbottbj]

If our government spent tax money on healthcare instead of nation building our economy would grow faster and stronger, it would ease the burden on corporations and individuals...Republicans are in the pockets of big business interests who will do all they can to trash it as "SOCIALISM"

[cristalle1]

Rest in peace Mr. Gallegos and God Bless his family. I shudder to think that had he been up here in Canada, he might have had a chance to live instead he had to spend the last days of his life in worry and without the care he needed. SHAME on the US health care system!!!!

It is when our government refuses to listen.
