I think democrats should use republican tactics. How about if we start calling insurance company CEO's murderers and accuse of them of trying to kill off the poor and the working class!!!

[marsstrain]

ya.. its called sharing. If you get sick, then you benefit. BUT people die because they are so freakin stressed out about how they are going to get preventive proper health care, they can't work. If only Americans could think long term instead of selfish fast results.

this is so fuking unfair. There are people that need to be prosecuted.

@tragicallyhiprule The guy is obviously a paid shill. They are all over the internet, and are paid to disrupt the comment sections of YouTube, and many other message boards. After reading through this guys bullshit, it's practically Copy/Paste of other things i have seen on the net. These people are vile, predatory assholes. Take with many grains of salt.

@sitdown248 Yes, because everyone who is Poor or can't afford healhcare is Lazy. You are such an ignorant piece of shit. Someone should Curb Stomp your useless ass to give you a chance to indulge in that wonderful "privilege" you think those who can't afford it should be denied. How much do you get paid to post this tripe?

[KillerQueen000]

@sitdown248 I often wonder how Shills like you sleep at night. Always with these ridiculous sophomoric arguments like "What did people do before Health Care. The current scam is pretty good as long as you buy the right insurance." What about people who CAN'T AFFORD it. "Oh well, back in the frontier days..../" People like you are mental. We are supposed to EVOLVE as a society. But I guess for fucks like you it's "I Got Mine. Fuck Everyone Else. Typical American.

Hello Bonnie & viewers of this video, I have a request and as this moving story appears to be a good place to reach the people I'm looking for, I hope it's okay that I post here.

I'm an actor & theatre practitioner in London, currently working on a verbatim project on the AMERICAN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM and needing willing participants to share their views & experiences. Please click my Channel for more info. I'm looking forward to hearing from you, Bonnie, or any page visitor. Thanks.

Wonder how the Obama government will find a way to right the injustice of the American healthcare system. Who wouldn't show compassion for those Americans who are caught up in the dog-end of a greed-based healthcare system. There is no soul in the heart of these private healthcare insurers.

I like not living in America. Fuck America and it's fucking system.
