Problems with Healthcare in the USA

I feel one of our biggest problems today is healthcare in the USA. Hospitals are releasing patients too early because insurance companies are ruling which is the bottom line. These are my latest observations with our healthcare system. I personally would be afraid to get surgery unless things are going to change.

@Mia. My wife is from Canada and my daughter was birn there. I am from the USA. I just can't day enough how great the Canadian healthcare system us. They actually truely care about their people. I'm afraid I can't say that about us here in America. We lose a little to many people a year due to poor or no coverage.. I'm just sick of our corrupt system. I have major leg pain behind my thigh and I can't go to the er because I have no coverage.. This sucks..

@networkingdefence1 I'm sorry to hear this and yes we have major health care problems here. It really seems to be about money. My friend, Rich, who is paralyzed and is on Medicare now just keeps on getting the run around. They discharged him with osteomyelitis and a huge sacral decub from an abcess which the infection started in the hospital. Well, they say, "He's stable." That's their favorite word and it's an outrage. I made a vid about that too titled, "Medicare is killing my friend."

You know what makes me even more upset? How these stupid republicans indicate that people want to live off welfare and handed to them. These piece of shit wastes of lives don't know anything about suffering, their parents fed em and wiped their ass their whole life.. My aunt had two née replacements and guess what?? She was released in 24 hours! Disgusting weak patetic dispicable system we have... We fund un winning wars? "sure" why not? We aid the foreign people outt of the USA that are sick

@networkingdefence1 I know it is disgusting and I listened to the State of the Union Address last week, and Democrats are the same. Obama cut costs on Medicare and SSI, but he doesn't tell the Americans that. No cost of living increase and the prescription drug plan increased. However, he has basically rewarded welfare and people have a choice to have kids. People don't have a choice regarding disability and becoming elderly.

Very good video !! You seem to have a lot of wisdom on this matter !! Thankyou. Every person will have to deal with this issue sooner or later. No doubt.

Occupy Banner! Occupy Banner! We are tired of CEOs making millions while everyday workers are earning the minimum wage. Banner Health is a behemoth that seeks to stretch every single penny from patient care. Peter Fine, CEO, makes thousands $ per hour, millions per year. A very profitable non-profit for CEO Peter. Stop the government handouts to Peter Fine. Research his public IRS tax year 2009, DLN# 93493316013240. Employer ID 45-0233470 Occupy Banner! Occupy Banner!

Yes !! Finally !! You represent the average people, not the rich. You would make a very good Senator, Senator Cindy. One of the healthcare issues is good Doctors are leaving the practice. They can no longer afford the malpractice insurance because the insurance companys wont pay for complete testing, which can result in a diservice to a patiant. Incomplete diagnosis leads to incomplete health care.

@networkingdefence1 Let me know because I'm ready to move too.

@networkingdefence1 They discharged Rich with a huge sacral decub from the abcess which actually reaches the distal head of his femur. The never got rid of the infection and they just say, "He's stable." So, I even asked the Dr. if this was the standard of care? He didn't want to answer. I know that he could get Sepsis and that would be it. It would more than likely kill him. One nurse said it's only going to get worse in 2010. She said they were probably discharging him because he used his days
