The problem in Health Care is like any other problem, it is because of supply and demand. More specifically, government involvement in OUR health care. Here in this video you can hear it from a physician's mouth.

The problem with health care is that people faithfully pay their premiums and get dropped
the day they get sick... Charge $10,000 for a 1 month course of anti nausea medicine on top of the $20,000 chemo battery -

What planet do you dwell upon???

Are you even serious?

Ahhhhh no...

What planet are YOU living in?
"68% of American voters have health-insurance coverage they rate good or excellent."

I'm not too good at math, but isn't that A MAJORITY?

If these are the healthy ones, then they have no idea what's coming for them when they got ill.

So I suppose we should disregard what the AMERICAN PUBLIC says, then? JUST LIKE THE BAIL-OUTS, or the HAND-OUTS to GM and CHRYSLER I PRESUME?

It means they think their coverage is excellent because they don't read the fine print. EXACTLY like the house mortgage fiasco. It's health care fraud if you ask me, entrapment, just like house mortgage.

A Government that is Trillions in debt is going to come up with what money to pay for anything once they seize everything?

Gimmie the Private Insurance dumping me any day. The suggestion that people cant pay their bills is absurd.

It's the Govt that can't pay its bills. It's spent everything and then some.

The housing problem was due to GOVERNMENT INVOLVEMENT. Who else has the capability to lower interest rates to 1% to get the housing BOOM GOING?
2003-01-12

If the majority of the population feels that their insurance is just fine, then why IMPOSE/CREATE a new governmental bureaucracy?

Where is your logic here?

My logic would be that my family was categorically screwed by the corporate bureaucracy in regards to two illnesses.

I want an alternative, you can keep your care and we can see what works.

BTW the Corporate interests are those who influence government, you have the equation backwards. Members get voted out, but the true power remains, that is the constant.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

We shall see when you or a loved one gets truly sick and you will live to curse those you protect, unfortunately.

But frankly,,, very frankly, I don't care what you guys want, you have had your way since Prixon ushered this in, it will come and this charade will backfire for conservatives. Progress moves and is unstoppable, it is a matter of time.

The march to fear will get old as the elephant of old is already rotten...

Government can lower interest rate to 1% (not that I agree with Greenspan), but if the private sector is not that greedy, the bubble won't form in the first place.

Don't Blame Low Interest Rates for the Bubble

I myself is not for health care reform. I prefer capitalism, but I'm against corporatism.

I'm sorry if this has happened in your family. I do not know the extent of your problems. You should ALL pitch-in and help each other, as ALL families should do.

Having said that, why SHOULD I OR ANYONE ELSE have their income expropriated?



I want an alternative, you can keep your care and we can see what works.
That is fine that you want alternative, however you want an alternative that is SUBSIDIZED by everyone else. And this I do not find AMERICAN. WHY SHOULD THE MAJORITY OF THE AMERICAN PUBLIC THAT FEELS FINE WITH THEIR HEALTH CARE, PAY FOR EVERYONE ELSE?



BTW the Corporate interests are those who influence government, you have the equation backwards. Members get voted out, but the true power remains, that is the constant.
Wrong here again....GUESS WHO wants this legislation BIG PHARMA...AMA..and EVERYONE else who wants to feed at the government trough.




But frankly,,, very frankly, I don't care what you guys want, you have had your way since Prixon ushered this in, it will come and this charade will backfire for conservatives. Progress moves and is unstoppable, it is a matter of time.
SEE here we go.

Answer me this...very simple: DOES THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE COUNT OR NOT?

Answer this question before you reply...

Some people don't realize this, but their lobby is that strong, they do have the ability to shape mass opinions and government agenda.


My advice to others.

Instead of trying to destroy your government, try to take back your government from them. If you destroy your government, the corporations will become your government, you have no chance whatsoever if that happens.
