If you don't know what UN Agenda 21 and ICELI are, then LEARN before you vote! It's why Obama did nothing to help US poor.

@sleazybtd It's only valid if you think that employer based insurance is the cats meow... I do not, I think it makes our companies less competitive and hurts Americans the most when times are tough. IE layoff time...

@Tomtaroo The rich own the government now.

The US is absolutely fucking mental, what happened to the country that led the free world in social mobility and being a good example?

Go fuck yourself guy.

It doesn't seem like he's laughing at the fact that people are losing their health insurance or their jobs. It seems like he's laughing because he's about to deliver the punchline (he obviously thinks it's a good one).
Based only on this little snippet of video, I think his point is valid (unless it was taken out of context).

HA-HAA! Gawd this guy is almost as ugly as he is stupid!

"...which have almost doubled since the 1970s"
And how long has it taken for the premiums from the US for-profit health insurance companies to double? Just 8 years. And they are projected to double again in the next 10 years.

All health care systems have their challenges. But here's the thing - NO advanced nation even considers the US system as a viable alternative. In fact, in all of Western Europe, political parties *across the political spectrum* have soundly rejected the US system. Out there, alleging that a politician wants to introduce US-style corporate medicine is possibly the worst insult that you can level on a person.

Ook... How is that any better, Congressman?? At least if they STILL HAD JOBS, they could perhaps save a little in a medical savings account or SOMETHING. If they lost their jobs, they're fucked.
This is even WORSE, because it shows how utterly ridiculous our employer-based insurance system is. No one should have to rely on a job just for healthcare, esp. a shitty one.
