Dying For Health Care

This song is called, "Do I Ever Cross Your Mind, Any Time" , by Brian McKnight . I thought it was appropriate for this video . Most of these people have passed away because they couldn't afford health care insurance , were denied insurance because of some preexisting condition , under insured, dropped coverage because health insurance limits, ( When you have a policies that only pays for health care up to a certain dollar amount) etc. Do you know why the U.S. has shorter waiting times then Canada to see a doctor ? Because , in the U.S. we allow 18 to 20 thousand people to die every year who are uninsured . Don't say it can't happen to you .Unless you are a multimillionaire , it will . Not if , it's just a matter of when .The best thing you can hope for under our current for profit health care U.S. system is that you die quickly .That's not an exaggeration on my part , it's the truth . The people that are fighting against health care reform are being suckered by big FARMA and insurance lobbyist who don't care about them .They only care about their bottom line . They are scaring these people like bush used color coded warnings to scare these people into supporting the Irag war . Anything short of a public option is a wast .It is the only real way cost will be bought down and everyone will be covered . The insurance lobbyist are spending 1.4 million a day to make sure there is no public option passed . Republicans and Blue Dog Democrats both have their hands in the Cookie jar . Insurance company's don't want see a public option because they have the publics intrest at heart .They don't want to see a public option because they will be forced to compete . And it will make insrance cheaper .Which means less multi billion dollar profits for them ,employee's, and CEO's who put profit over people's lives . IF YOU WANT HEALTH CARE , YOU HAVE TO FIGHT BACK HARD ! DON'T THINK SOMEONE IS GOING TO DO IT FOR YOU ! SHOW UP AND COUNTER THE ANTI-HEALTH CARE REFORM PEOPLE ! SUPPORT LIBERALS WHO SUPPORT A PUBLIC OPTION ! GET INVOLVED ! There are links below on this subject........

this propaganda

[thevirtueallliberal]

"Propaganda" ? So, Gary I guess those people never really died from no or lack of health care ? Medicare and medicaid are only going broke because people are living longer and fraud from the private company's that run them .However, it's much cheaper than the private sectors over head cost .Your so full of misinformation , it's no wonder people are going to these town halls enraged .I'll debate you anytime on the point , on my page if you would like ?

[mysacredhonor]

wow, I would love to debate you on this but I have a music project that is consuming my time. but after that I am all open to debate as long as it is civil. I will say it would be refreshing to debate an honest broker. I have only had HSA for a little over a 1 now So I was one whod no health care for 12 years. but I don'twant government care it don't work. Peace Gary

[thevirtueallliberal]

It's always civil with me Gary .Not only is it civil but if you have a point , I'll admit it .However, I expect the same .If it doesn't work , then maybe you should tell the V.A. hospitals to go private . It does work but it's not perfect , like anything else .I look forward to a debate , when you have time .Take it easy .

All Insurance Companies CEOs HAVE EXCELLENT HEALTH INSURANCE & can afford it. Agreed?

All Senators in Congress HAVE EXCELLENT HEALTH INSURANCE & can afford it. Agreed?

Republicans don't give a sh*t if YOU the Teabagger/Birther/Deather have a good plan or not, or if YOU have NO INSURANCE, because YOU cannot afford it !!

Only in AMERICA would a dumbass consumer protest against REFORM & PUBLIC OPTION and in doing so .. Protest AGAINST HIS OWN BEST INTEREST.

TALK ABOUT BEING STUPID !!

Two words that our at the root of our problem: Brainwashed idiots.

To follow up my previous post. I have priced health insurance for a family of four and at last check it would cost me $2,400+ a month for basic crappy insurance. That is one bill I can't afford a month.

Health Care in the U.S. is broken and most definitely needs reform. I'm not asking for anyone to pick up the tab for myself and family. I'm asking for affordable insurance. How we get there I am not sure, but I will most definitely tell you is sucks not having insurance.

[Wyldbutterfly028]

Health Care reform is most definitely needed. As a family who pays out of pocket for Doctor, Dentist and prescriptions it gets very expensive at times. If I were to get deathly sick, I have two choices. Sell my home or let whatever illness ails me put me 6 feet under. I would chose the later as I would not want my children homeless. My house would never pay for all of the care I may need. So I'd rather have a home for my children. Pretty sad choice I have, but for my kids, it's well worth it.

[Savior20061]

Why do you think it will be worse. Because Beck told you so?

[Ms57states]

this is all made up by obama's homies lol

[Ms57states]

do you thin it wuill be any different when the gov takes over healthcare? it will be the same but worse! the gov will deny certain procedues, ration just like ins companies! you will see! just those that voted for obama are now regretting it, every that is fighting for this gov take over will regret in 5 years down the road! then i will be one mad mother fucker because we will not be able to change this

[halcyon180]

Yeah see that happened to me too i had no money to see a doctor so they threw me out, then the doctors beat me down in the alley way and told me i better have thier money or else. Now the national guard sits in front of the doors to keep me out. yup. Its horrible, the hospital points and laughs cause i cant get health care.

[megarational]

You  do realize that you ARE paying for the health care of the uninsured, in the most expensive way possible - for emergency ward treatment.

Making HC insurance more affordable & getting more people able to buy it reduces your "involuntary" contributions.

[JazCat1]

No, not hypocritical. And not trying to scare people, tryint to make people see the truth. If you want to pay to help someone else see a doctor go ahead, I think any kind of charity to help someone less fortunate is great. Donate time or money to help others with medical bills, without housing, to help animals in a humane society, to help wilderness societies, all charity is really wonderful. Just don't try to make ME pay for the charity you think is important.

[AnomicHumanist]

Oh dear Oh dear. This clip has moved me to tears. It has really upset me.

[webmanagers]

Wow. We do not support a single payer system for the same reasons as President Obama. It would be too radical a change and we cannot afford it anyway. But we do support a non profit government run public option, and this would be a great video for my boss David Houston, who asked me to find something for the less educated folks in Morgan County, Indiana, who have no clue what the health care reform debate is all about. Thanks for sharing it. Nice to put the faces on the numbers.
