Robert Reich Public Option Video

Yep, call the Jewish guy with dwarfism a Nazi. Stellar grasp of history there, moron.

His comments in the video are highly partisan. Get your competitive kicks supporting your favorite sports team, and stop letting partisan hacks divide you. There is no solution that is good for all Republicans and bad for all Democrats. The reverse is also true. Less demand and more supply is what lowers prices. We need more doctors, more nurses, better lifestyle approaches. Break out of this shameful Democrat/Republican gulag!!

Most on the right are suspicious because they know that simple changes in law can do the same thing, yet this approach is not attempted.
Democrats have vast majorities in many states, yet their insurance commissioners are not changing anything either. Republicans did not change anything when they held majorities. File anti-trust suits. Break down state restrictions. Force ins. companies to have standard packages that are identical company to company so we can get competitive quotes.

"Lieberman needs to be curtailed. See to it, will you Bond?"

"He's worse than Blofeld, sir."

"Yes, Bond. Some of these corporate people in America are the New Evil."

Just another Berkeley Propeller Head spewing theory. Public Insurance does not work in the real world it is a path to Bankruptcy. Christine Romer another Berkeley academic now running Obama's economic council, how is she doing in the real world with the Stimulus etc., Utter failure!!
Call a Canadian doctor and see what he/she says about public insurance. The only criteria it meets is getting everyone insured, the real world tells us costs increase and heath care gets rationed.

I guess France, Japan, Spain, Norway and a dozen others aren't a part of the real world. The American Journal of Public Health estimates 45,000 Americans die each year due to insufficient health care. What kind of developed nation are we?

And btw, Time Magazine called Robert Reich one of the most Influential Cabinet Members of This Century; One of the Top Ten Business Thinkers according to the WSJl. I suggest you read his blog some time so you don't sound so misinformed&incoherent.

@Hortzy1 it works pretty well in 23 countries and has for more than 30 years! i agree that Reich is missing the point here, but you don't need to lie to discredit him.

hammered you must be! Riech talking about health care is like Palin talking about foreign policy. The fact is Public Insurance gets everyone covered but increases costs and rations care. This is why individuals from the 23 countries seek treatment in the US. It also with result in increased taxes and legislating behavior. (sin taxes) and a doctor shortage. The left often makes a moral argument for the uninsured. But will you accept a inferior system to insure the uninsured?

Great video.

why not just END the anti trust exemption?!?
