American SiCKO Adrian Campbell Montgomery Reacts to Obama's Health Care Press Conference

CAMPBELL MONTGOMERY: Saying you have to have a plan or you're going to be fined? I mean, we're basically handing our money over the insurance companies. He's still keeping the insurance companies involved and that's wrong.

Dear America:

Take the Australian, German, British, Canadian, French, Japanese, South Korean, swedish health care system, or the healthcare system of ANY Western nation, and copy and paste it to your system. It is so simple. Get back to me if you have further difficulties.

Signed,

Tech support.

can you imagine if lobbying and ripping ppl off was illegal? how much money would that save?

Obama's healtcare program will expand the privet HMO & Insurance industry which is going broke because of bad investments in the Stock Market. We will be forced to buy and carry insurance if we want medical treatment. A medical panel will determine who will get medical treatment based of cost effectiveness. Heil hitler! Obama's program is just another Wall Street bailout. Obama is a Wall Street prostitute that will say anything to get some head. Google Video: OTC PM Report September 10, 2009

I agree completely. Another thing I find great joy in is that..lets just say ms. adrian did have "free" single payer healthcare like in the "rest of the industrialized world"...the amount of money that she would pay in taxes over her lifetime would be a million times greater than the amount of any doctors bill...yes we sometimes get shafted with medical bills...its our body...we must pay to stay alive..it isn't a God-given right to stay alive...it is a privilege..I could go on forever...

Kudos to Vicky for speaking out too on her busted ankle with no insurance!

Well, I do know, and have family there. There is what most people have no realised yet in America, public healthcare , our V.A. system. now just sit back and think, Listen to the comments made about that, and also, canada has a remaining full fledged private health care system, now at twice the cost before they changed, most who can use that, or if needed come to America for important treatments. take away the motive for improvement , imporvement dies. Our system needs fixed, but not taken over

@THEMASTEROFYOU2000

You have no idea what your talking about. I know people in Canada. There's no long waiting lists for issues like the one she had.

I have Canadian friends that either laugh or shake their heads when I talk about the health care here. Its a joke. But us as Americans are to stupid to realize that there is something better. Instead we listen to talking heads that tell us what to think.

[Reijkiavik]

the basic idea of turning the current health care system into a democratic system is good, but what is wrong is keeping the insurance companies involved, In Europe the health system is a priority, Governments must guarantee money for it because if u are sick u MUST have the right to be cured whatever ur bank account is

[THEMASTEROFYOU2000]

lol, yea lets out law the on tv insurances that say " for only a dollar you get 20,000 dollars worth of coverage", which you do, after you pay the premium for 20 years, paying them 45k, then when ya die yer family gets 20k, theres the problems, for every Nurse caring for patients there are 9 people counting money, another problem.basic stuff, get real about it, stop "mandating" our lives

[THEMASTEROFYOU2000]

the trouble is, Ms. Adrian, is that you would have no co-pay in canada because you would never even have gotten the tests to show whether you had cancer or not, unless you got put on the waiting list and waited 1-2 years. You need to show how and why your claim was denied totally as you claim. Oh of course since HICFA mandates patient ptrivacy no one can contest your words, right?. show us the tests , the orders, thr consults showing the need for surgery and then the letters denying, then talk

[VerdantNight]

Oh, many of us are quite wide awake. Not enough, but we're getting there. The politicians, though, seem to be perpetually comatose (or just paid off). >:-(
