Wrong. For the all but 45-50 million insured now, (except maybe Oregon Medicaid) everything is covered. As costs escalate under "ObamaCare," treatment for certain conditions/ages will be excluded as not cost-effective, particularly "end-of-life" care for seniors. People will die who wouldn't currently, hence "death panel." Feel singled out now? You don't suppose ObamaCare can save money by not covering conditions that people don't have, hmm? THIS IS TOO MUCH POWER FOR GOVERNMENT TO HAVE.

@platficker I'm fairly certain you meant the 45-50 million UNinsured. Either way, I don't know what insurance you have, or if you've ever had any serious illnesses, but people with private insurance frequently have private insurance refuse to pay for certain procedures or services, regardless of whether their doctor deems it necessary. My private insurer has refused coverage on procedures, treatment and medication in the past. What you're saying is nonsense that has no connection to reality.

this is what happens when you dont go to school you end jup like this lady sit on your ass and post youtube videos,

[heartsleeve]

I have a master's degree, sweetheart, and I don't think trolling YouTube videos and making asinine comments is a sign of intellectual superiority.

[heartsleeve]

@bluebitch55 I have a master's degree. Maybe I should still be in school for a PhD, but if there IS a problem with the video I posted, I doubt my lack of education is it.

"Keep you Government hands off my Medicare" yelled the idiot who got into Sen. Arlen Specter's face at a town hall meeting about healthcare. Fox news loves it. They did not COVER that because of course, Medicare is a COMPLETELY Government run program that is popular and has just a 3% cost.

No, Fox News anchor's smiled because their lies helped protect their corporate friends profits. If Fox watchers ever wake up and actually get angry at liars, they will march on Fox News with their guns.

@platficker Barbara Wagner's received a rejection letter from the universal care system setup in her state run was crushing. The Oregon woman, whose lung cancer had been in remission, learned the disease had returned and would likely kill her. Her last hope was a $4,000-a-month drug that was prescribed for her, but the rationing board, death panel, refused to pay. What the state run Oregon Health Plan did agree to cover were drugs for a physician-assisted death. Those drugs would cost about $50.

Well, we will see Sarah Palin's reaction when her son WITH A PREEXISTING CONDITION is forced to go off of his parent's health care plan (which covered him) and try to go out himself and get his own health care. He most likely either 1) will be denied or 2) be forced to pay extreme amounts of money. I have a pre-existing condition and am seriously worried about my future.I will at least have until I'm 26, but I'm sure that plan will be scratched off as soon as the republicans take office again...

ObamaCare is a collection of failed liberal ideas meant to funnel everyone eventually into single-payer, government-run health care, like, well, Britain and Canada who are desperately trying to reform their health care to be more like ours. They are trying to restore the doctor-patient relationship that has long been the basis of our current health care — the best in the world.

ObamaCare is UNCONSTITUTIONAL and SUCKS! Repeal and replace

[BestPoliticalVideos]

#1 ObamaCare is UNCONSTITUTIONAL - it will be dumped.

#2 The United States has been the WORLD LEADER in Healthcare BREAKTHROUGHS, MEDICINE, RESEARCH, INNOVATIONS, INVENTIONS, CARE, ETC.. ALL DUE TO GOOD OL' CAPITALISM!!!

SOCIALISM SUCKS!

[ninuxy]

Oh, by the way, half the cost of those drug developments are paid by the government through subsidies and academic researches. You are basically somebody's "Marxist" bitch all along and you didn't know it.

And while you are so desperately trying to paint the real solutions as "Socialism," 50 million Americans go uninsured. Yay to those Socialists who take Medicare and Medicaid then drop to their knees when they are told, we are going to take away those "government" programs.

[ninuxy]

@BestPoliticalVideos Baseless assertions are your own source of false animation, and it shows.

ALL CAPITAL is a sign of excitability. You have illustrated an ample of that on this thread.

Ya, it has been a world leader whose citizens can even afford the medicine it produces, while the same pharma companies are being negotiated by those "Socialist" countries to reduce the Rx, and we end up paying multiple folds for them.
