  1. If people do not abuse the system? Me m? Dical (the m? Doctors often go for small problem? My), it would not be such a problem? Me. People go to the m? Physician for cuts and br? Lures, colds and fi? Lips. Many Am? Ricans do not know how to take care of them-m? Me, then they pay hundreds of meters? Physicians dollars (not? Our thunder? Economy is crap)? do it for them. If people could learn? eat? drink right, exercise, and get their prescriptions unnecessary, we would be much better. Pharm companies are a scam.

  2. Whereas happends with all the not-policy-holders? The clandestine ones? Aujourd' today, they go in a hospital and to be made look after. Do our hospitals still to be obliged to treat the patients, they know qu' they cannot obtain the payment of our hospitals and to let fail with all the additional handing-over and costs? Or must we let them die on the step of door d' entry? Still way with much of questions to be posed and answered this n' is qu' one.

  3. @ Rs09985 I think that is financ? by States or that’s what I hear. Co t for this stuff is transferred? R? to the states and the states themselves m? I could not defund it by covering it.

  4. @garbanzotheterrible how is it not a good thing to have all people insured? I’d rather insurance be mandatory than have to pay for the uninsured anyway when they go to the emergency room. That is how it currently works.

  5. A couple points for those in doubt.
    1. America already pays for those who are not insured. Our tax dollars go towards uninsured visits to the emergency room. Lets require them to have some kind of insurance instead.
    2. Americans are all ready required to purchase auto insurance as a safety precaution. It is the same with health insurance.
    3. There is nothing more american in nature than trying to provide health care to our fellow citizens that need it most.

  6. @ Timbosforporn ' of-bottoms” n' d' is nothing; other qu' a blow. Republicans refuse to finance – for example – l' enormous expansion of the cover of the drugs d' schedules for the elderly? I believe that when I see it.

  7. I noticed how they did not talk about the fines that will be imposed on the inviduals who decide not to have health insurance. There is alot of information missing n this video and if you don’t read the bill you wont see all that is in there This video only covers a small amount of what the bill says. The fact that they are taking away our right to decide is bull. Sorry but the cons of the plan out way the pros. plan and simple.

  8. Not an imposture/swindle with all. But the true solution would be a system with single payer, I. E. , To remove the profiteurs " insurance maladie" companies. A system with single payer could also take the fraud of invoicing. Like the “death of the panels “demystified the myth, another error is that c' is a " catch of contrôle." Doctors of the private sector and the insurers that to profit from this reform of social evils. Do not be easily deceived: Certain “socialism” is a good thing, like the public schools, the distribution of the mail of the coastal Guard, the cops, the libraries.

  9. This n' is nothing more qu' a resumption of health and socialized medicine. A goal of the communist left for the hundred last years. It is enough to look at the language of this video in its entirety. The companies d' insurance are the “large cats” which is the language used by the majority of the Socialists everywhere that in l' insurance, of oil, or something of imposing which is to screw on the small urchin parce qu' they dare to exert their right on their own goods. Slowly but surely, the left will destroy the property rights of each person.

  10. @ Hisbelovedpsalmist Why not put your money where your mouth is and makes leave and help the others. You can obtain d' other people who take care and voluntarily to leave and help the others. Stop d' to try to include us in your collective will. People are generally happier when they make things of the their gained free-referee, like helping the others.

  11. Wait until this gets completely defunded by the new congress.

  12. @bladerunnerr57 It amazes me how the power of Jesus gets invoked by the left everytime they need something done. By the power of Jesus. . . health care reform. . . poof. . . its a miracle. yah its a miracle if this is still around in ten years.

  13. @tonyescobar71 I couldn’t agree with you more. You should have shot your grandmother and saved a ton of money or, as Obama put it, she may have to take the bill.

  14. @ MrBombastus You? Your crazy right, punish the sick! It is time that those bastards pay invalid? their fair share. My grand-m? Has re t? No enough? careless to get cancer and now she wants to bitch and g? mir whole day? on e fa? which we must pay higher premiums? lev? es. J ‘? Quiet like, “Hey Grandma, maybe? You would have to be? Think before you? Your all? And has begun? Germinate cancerous cells? Stances dumbass!” Leeches like her are the reason these bad insurance company execs are scraping by on meager million. Capitalism!

  15. @bladerunnerr57 We need to stop assuming that people who disagree with us on policy have different intentions, motivations, or concerns than us and start focusing on having productive conversations about what works and what doesn’t work.

  16. @bladerunnerr57 The problem is assuming that there is only one way to help all people get health care access. I would absolutely love to see all people get health care access, but I sincerely believe that, based on economic principles alone, that this particular bill will have a negative effect on our health care, and that there are other solutions that would do a better job at making it much easier for people to have quality health care. Does this make me less compassionate?

  17. it amazes me, in this country of “christians”, how slow we are to love our neighbors. I guess maybe I should be a little less surprised. Afterall, one tends to be preoccupied when they’re busy being king of the world.

  18. @ Mrbombastus balances MrBombastus, of l' balance. C' is a thing to pay more for one Aston Martin vs Celica or Leer Jet on Cessna hand or costume measure of tweed on Levi' S and Tee-shirt, the health care, but? The health care should be universal through planet. This n' is not right the U.S.A. conversation. Everyone in all the countries should have access to the care. This n' is not socialism against capitalism, which qu' in this conversation means is the devil. C' is l' humanism simple, magnet and attentive towards its next.

  19. Sat Lil’uncle Numismatic each entity? public and private? e, by law. This funding priority and manipulated? S by bureaucrats (backed by int? R? Ts individuals who are the r? Rules as and when?) And then distributed? S mani? Re effective in the community? m? MEDICAL (our friends in the universities? sd? Favorites? s that have long thoughts? they Fair? set c t? by an evil capitalist SOCI t?) benefit? equitable for all ( They have a plan, you do not see). This seems logical, it should work.

  20. Actually it’s a scam to funnel more money into the insurance companies thus increasing profits of the share holders. And that, my friend, is capitalism. Devious. Underhanded. Downright conspiratorial. A clever piece of big business capitalism worth trillions in corporate profit over the years. So look there. It’s not about insuring the poor afterall. It’s about making the wealthy wealthier. Perspective is fascinating, isn’t it?

  21. @ Hisbelovedpsalmist I suppose that you refer to the republicans. Introduced the 9 republicans separate and distinct bills from reform of the health care, and many amendments (of which none the democrats to let pass) for the democrats " bills. I am not fan of the republicans, believe me, and some their ideas of health care were terrible, but c' is one of the lies of the media more disgusting that the republicans just behind sitted and n' did anything during the debate of health care.

  22. They will “save” by increasing taxes and reducing payments. How is this better?
    There are some provisions that are good-preexisting conditions, ending lifetime limits-but this is a scam to insure the poor, and everyone else must pay. That is socialism.

  23. And no proposal which was presented is perfect, but I n' have more respect for quelqu' one which works to try to create and of significant solution which will help you d' others rather than quelqu' one which sat on their seat anything to make and stories on the problem! In the same way, we must endeavour to belong to the solution and not problem. And because some d' between us commenting on can be well, one should not the least fortunate. Because a decision/an major event could modify our life/results radically.

  24. So do any of you have a better idea? A better method? A cost-efficient, realistic, “everybody’s happy” way to resolve this healthcare issue? We talk so much about the problem and then toss up frivolous responses and biased conclusions based on what? Information & Facts? Probably Not. Compassion for those who’ve been ripped off by the current system–small businesses or the families who can’t afford to pay for their sick child’s insurance? It’s doesn’t appear so. I don’t agree with everything

  25. I am really depressed that became obligatory to visualize certain people (of which it a). L' simple explanation can be good – if you are one denied which believes already that the role of the government is to provide all to their district right. Even figure lowball l' OBC of 1.000.000.000 .000 $ or so much of dollars, the program will hardly be insolvent, and nobody with any comprehension of reality has even advanced l' idea that the quality of the care will increase some way following this.
