Remember how Clinton promised health care reform, then Newt Gingrich waltzed in and it became a non issue? Wow! Deja vu!

Britain has the best health care on the planet and it's free.
Obama is right about giving more care to more American's but it's the medical insurance lobby's that are against it.

@irishgodfatherchris The only business interests that it will hurt is the people that buy congress men and women.

@AusInternerd Yes you are correct. The simple minded fox news viewer sounds like this.

Haha - funny that the bureaucrats are citizens as well, sans the completely insane executive salaries, bonuses, and golden parachutes. Bertolini (CEO Aetna) made 8.8Mil in 2010 and he's a small fry. It just doesn't make sense to leave health care to chance. I know multiple people who've been quoted $1500+ a month. I was flat out denied and I avoid hospitals unless I'm in pieces. Better hope nothing goes wrong in your life. It's easy when you've got yours but it can be fleeting.

US healthcare is the most overpriced and the most inefficient among developed countries.
In a profit orientated system like the US one it's not profitable for the doctor and the pharma companies to cure the patient using the most efficient medical procedures but the most expensive one and to perform as many as possible unnecessary procedures just to increase the bill
In a profit orientated system doctors aren't paid to keep patients healthy.The more sick people are the more doctors earn.

@AusInternerd Exactly. Satire can never border on irony as closely as in the U.S.

The sad thing is that the people in this parody sound and make arguments along the same lines as real protesters against reforming healthcare

Yes, let us look at Greece. They accumulated 360 billion € debt over the last 15 years. The US of A borrow that amount of money on average every three and a half months.
Spains debt is approximately 55% of its GDP. Spain was at that point before in 2000. They managed to reduce it to 36% in 2007. It only went up again, because of the financial crisis. The USA borrow more money every year, than the total national debt of Greece, Spain and Portugal combined.
