If you like private insurance, then that's fine. But just know that Private Health Insurance is about making sure the CEO gets his 5th Mansion and the company makes profits. They don't care about your health or your needs, they are only about making money!

This means that if you cannot afford health insurance, you can be fined up to $3500. They also have nothing to get rid of the BS Insurance companies to do jack up rates and deny people insurance and care!

The ONLY way to get to health care reform is a Public Option, NHS, Universal Health Care, Japanese/Germany/French style Public Health system.

What is wrong with the current Health Care Debates is obviously Republican Political Swiftboating tactics like "Death Panels" and "Obama is going to pull the plug on Granny!"

But it is also coming from the left. The current plan does not include a Public Option, however, more ways to FORCE people to buy overpriced Private Insurance. You will be FORCED to buy health insurance from an insurance exchange with FEW competitors with no incentives to lower costs.

The average prescription is over $100 to thousands, the average hospital bill is $2500 per night, and sometimes you have to wait 40 minutes to get into the ER.

Look at how health insurance companies won't cover birth control, rape screenings, won't cover children, and they use a bunch of charts and statistics in order to decide who gets covered and who doesn't.

It is a shameful system.

In the US, you have to buy your own health insurance. You probably will pay $300+ a month and wait A YEAR before your insurance will pay your bill. MOST of the time, the Insurance company will pay only 40% of your bill, charge you a Co-Pay, you have to chose from doctors on their list, or else you get stuck with a bill and they will only cover 20% of your prescriptions

Thanks for contributing, Matt. I guess this is more of a touchy subject than I realised. Hope life is going ok for you. Be time to start putting up your snow defences soon ;)

Yes you are right Paul. All I am saying is people that used to live there and went thru that, had their house taken and had to leave with what only they could carry on their backs can see where america is starting to go down the same road and they dont like it.

Actually, Hungary had a communist government which is slightly different to a socialist one, but that's all beside the point I was making in the video.

Glad you like the vids though ;)
