PUBLIC OPTION NOW

[ptango101]

There is something very,fundamentally wrong with a system that allows someone to make a profit on your health or lack there of. If a companies bottom line is effected by how sick you are, it's a no brainer that they are going to do everything in their power to keep their profit margins in the black.

Scary things happen whenever big business is in charge of anything!

@danwk7 I have single payer h.c.& I would never want the American h.c. system! How the right wingers distort the info. is stunning. The system, has some problems ,but we have never had $hundreds a month rates, no co-pays, no pre-existing condition, insurance cos. failing 2 provide h.c. when we get sick! Americans, who can afford their h.c. & tuff sh#t if u can,'t .With mouth pieces: Limbaugh, Beck, Canter, Boehner & the fox net. who can't tell the truth

they print money like there goign to hell in a handbag just to keep up with the debt? so now what? there dollor shrinks to NOTHING so they came out with euro's (Not recent) and thats code for money we dont have so we as poor nations will comebine all our assests and put it into one dollor. now i will state that actually was a smart move but the american dollor is still the worlds currency.but cap and trade and health care will soon make the dollor go to nothing or we can swim in debt.now you see

[jason4852]

that iis very wrong my sir actually we pay more and they have to wate a long time because so many people have it free so now there are two problems. 1. health care has lowerd standerds because of money issue's 2, is that the debt will skyrocket to the moon. ferance,britian,cuba etc have the biggest debts in the world! they will NEVER get out of debt look it up in france it's normal to pay 200 frankes for a trip to the gassstore try that in american wealth 200$ for gass?

Most of the kind that wins Nobel Prizes does but most "street level" diagnostics therapies etc. is private.

Buddy, I practically live in canada! im from upstate NY, I go there regularly, I have family there, and the two times ive been to medical clinics there, they either referred me to a private clinic, or I waited 5 hours in triage just to get turned down when I actually got to see a doctor. I know first hand, the united states needs reform yes, but we have far better care than any socialist fucking state.

[TheKuffarKid]

Some of their success are BECAUSE of the US's system keep in mind:  watch?v=hlMRBVaCWQ0

Ummm I don't know where you managed to find that info, but if you're really suggesting that france, or india, or cuba or England have better surgeons, doctors, and equipment than us, you are sadly mistaken. American health care is simply the best on the planet, this is why political leaders, heads of state, and celebrities all come to the United states when they need any surgery done. Sure, canada has cheaper prescription drugs.. that's about it.

[knowhelpnow]

It's not that the people don't know what is going on it's how do we stop our Representatives from being bought and paid for by Big Corporations?

I purpose that the American people set up a committee that asks every person who is running to only run on what the government gives them to run and not except a single penny from anyone. If they don't sign the agreement then we don't vote for them. This is the only way I can see to take the Big money out of our elections.

[WellIAMScottish]

Actually, most people would gladly pay higher taxes than continue to be robbed by ever increasing premiums on our private health insurance plan. And people are literally sick of corporate control of their health!

[B29Productions]

thank god for canada I think go out and use some of that FREE healthcare ummmm
