As an Illinois state senator, Barack Obama proudly called himself a proponent of single payer healthcare. But now that he's president, he won't even consider it as an option for the reform our healthcare system so desperately needs. What do you suppose happened between then and now?

  • your correct that obama is a liar , what you DONT understand is that he will still try to do it BUT incrementally ..

    dont worry the guy you voted for is a true socialist . he just isnt acting fast enough for you because the majority of us understand that govt run health care is bullshit , your facts are scewed about socialism goverment run single payer . it will give us crappy health care like all the other countries currently using it .

  • Why should we listen to you? You back up what you say with nothing. Your YT channel is completely empty. Your propaganda parrot schtick could not be more transparent. I used to wonder why all you idiots even bothered, but then it came to me one day: It takes a lot less guts to sit back and take anonymous pot shots than it does to take a principled stand. I did not vote for Obama. And there are multiple polls that prove how wrong you are about being in the majority. Do the real homework, genius.

  • @gagefixer Should'nt you be watching Fox News right now?

  • @gagefixer It would help if you get your facts right. Countries using single payer health care deliver better health care for less money.

    You'd be more convincing if you'd argue for abolishing Medicare instead.

  • jperryam,

    I don't think that at the beginning of his presidency, health care reform was dropped as a priority. I also don't believe that by becoming the president, the political disparity was immediately solved.

    There's still a political war going on now, I find it ridiculous how much opposition there is and clearly most of the media has chosen the republican side. It looks impossible for Obama to achieve anything without someone trying to take him down.

  • wow they just suck the marrow out of our bones, it's awful..so depressing:o(

  • Health Care in USA is ranked 54th (Pay more and get lots lots less)

    USA is only developed country not to offer health care to citizens

    US is 41st in world in infant mortality Cuba scores higher

    Women are 70% more likely to die in childbirth in America than in Europe

    Leading cause of death of pregnant women in USA is murder

    US is dead last in the growth rate of total compensation to its workforce; they worker longer hours than any other nation & with least vacation time!

  • World Health Organization ranked the countries of the world in terms of oval health performance, and the U.S. (was) 37th In the fairness of health care, America is 54th. The irony is that the United States spends more per capita for health care than any other nation in the world, (The European Dream p 79 80 & NYT Nov 22, 2004). American education is the same

    Soulless Insurance & Pharma Corps legally bribe politicians - See my video about avg payout between 1 to 4 million per Senator

  • TYPO!: I MEANT "Pps".

  • Pss. NOT that elections in this country aren't manipulated...to ENSURE that an Independent (nor ANY other candidate who thinks like one) is NEVER EVER taken seriously.

  • Ps. I, TOO, am a registered "Independent".

  • T H A N K Y O U, "jperryam"!!! THIS VIDEO NEEDS TO BE SEEN BY ALL!!!  (Btw, wasn't Dennis Kucinich the person who SOLELY drafted the Single Payer system?)
