"There's Nobody to Take Care of You" in America

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/04/03/60minutes/main4917055.shtml

In the economic crisis, public hospitals are needed now more than ever. If you're down on your luck without insurance, the county hospital can be your last resort.

Recently thousands of letters went out across Las Vegas telling cancer patients that the only public hospital in the state was closing its outpatient clinic for chemotherapy.

It's the next thing in the recession - communities cutting back on services like schools or cops or public hospitals because tax revenues have fallen with the economy.

One of the charity patients who got that letter in Las Vegas is Helen Sharp, who didn't realize how a crash on Wall Street might threaten her life...

So angry we have to go walk around the block at

The credit crisis and the healthcare collapse will destroy any chance of economic recovery. Baby boomers will destroy social services.

WE NEED TO STOP THE FOREIGN WARS AND BRING THE MONEY BACK TO HELP AMERICAN PEOPLE!

Public Hospitals cutbacks are obviously a result of the "Great Recession". And a another reason for the need for Health Care reform.

everybody why isnt that going into a special program to get free healthcare just like they do so much money for roads, highways,county taxes, taxes for this, for that I would be willing to pay 10 or 20 dls taxwise to get freehealthcare, wouldnt you? Obama you better wake up, or there will be a revolution.

@BornCitizen: Healthcare CEO's call them 'Sneer Jets'.

They love to sneer at all the Little People down below that they fleece every year and send to an early grave in order to fund their multi-million dollar salaries.

Bullshit. I live in the UK and my life was saved by the heathcare I received here. It was first class. In the US it would have cost me $580k and I would now be uninsurable. In the UK, my health cover costs me a 3% surcharge tax on my income tax (called a NIC - a National Insurance Contribution).

You dumb yanks have sucked up your Healthcare Industry's lies for so many years that you wouldn't know the truth if it jumped up and bit your flabby fat asses.

Quit lying about European healthcare.
