Health Care Town Hall Mtg St Charles MO 3-10-10.mov

During an interview prior to the health care town hall meeting hosted by U.S. Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.) this morning in St. Charles, Mo., I spoke with Joe DeVincent, a government retiree from nearby Wentzville, about the prospects of government-run health care (a.k.a., ObamaCare). He expressed deep reservations about ObamaCare based, in part, on his own daughters experience as the wife of a Canadian citizen living north of the border.

"She doesn't like it at all, he said. You cant see doctors when you want to see doctors. The few doctors that are even practicing there, their business is just so full...

"One time, my wife and I went with her to see her primary care physician. She had an appointment, and it took three hours to get in. The waiting room was just so jammed, because nobody one can see doctors there.

"The doctors only work until they've made a certain amount of money. When they make that amount of money, they don't get paid anymore, he continued. We definitely don't need this system in the United States."

The problem is so bad, he said, that his daughter has been forced to come to the United States on more than one occasion.

A fix, he said, would be new legislation that gave everyone the same coverage.

"If they want to put a health plan in, make it everybody, including Congressmen, senators, the president, everybody falls in that plan. Then, theyll put one in there that'll work."

Asked if he thought it would ever happen, he was doubtful.

"It'll never happen. They're gonna take care of themselves and, if this goes in, we're gonna suffer."

Bob McCarty blocks people from posting on his vids because he can't handle the truth.

Actually we already have socialized medicine in medicare/medicaid and Schip. They are all broke and riddled with fraud and abuse. Government already sets the prices for 1/2 our healthcare sector directly and the other 1/2 indirectly. The control all of healthcare through regulations and mandates. They have done a lousy job of keeping cost down. And if you study the system they are a big reason cost are high

@hharrison91 Apparently you only listen to Faux News. Show me where it's being socialized in this bill. Thanks! :)

Obamacare proponents would have us believe that we will add 30 million patients to the system without adding providers, we will see no decline in the quality of care for the millions of Americans currently happy with the system, and -if you act now!- we will save money in the process. But why stop there? Why not promise it will no longer rain on weekends and every day will be a great hair day?

Imagine if, like physicians, politicians were personally held to the incredibly high level of scrutiny that includes civil and financial liability for any unintended consequence of their decisions. Imagine if they were forced to spend tens of thousands of dollars each year on malpractice insurance and still faced the threat of multimillion-dollar lawsuits with every single decision they made. If so, a government takeover of health care would be the furthest thing from their minds.

luvblueshockey...You obviously have no clue and didn't read the bill. SOCIALIZED death is truly what this POS is propagating!

[luvblueshockey]

President Obama is not trying to "socialize" medicine. I truly wish people, especially politicians and the press, would stop propagating this lie.
