There is very little I can say about the health care debate that this man doesn’t say in his video. Please send this to as many people as you can. This is a two part video, I suggest watching both pieces.

You think REALITY is lying to you… You think REALITY is biased against you.PLEASE, PEOPLE. Do your own homework. Quit being cheerleaders for this nation’s destruction.

    [..YouTube..] If the current American healthcare system is so bad, why is it people from countries with socialized medicine all over the world come to the U.S. for treatment?

  • hubristime said:

    [..YouTube..] There it is. The name calling.

  • 1230burchett said:

    [..YouTube..] It has always been clear to the educated that filthy language was a cover for ignorance.

  • 1230burchett said:

    [..YouTube..] Our country was made better by the senior citizens that helped us grow in the past. Doesn’t any one respect their sacrifice and knowledge anymore? You can tell alot about a person by wether or not they take care of their elders or simply try to get rid of them!

  • jwilsonind said:

    [..YouTube..] the only people making decisions now in our country were gin & tonics and Crab cakes. they have not had to work Hard for much of anything. So how do we expext them to make decisions for us?

  • fragmaka said:

    [..YouTube..] oh my godthe topic was healthcare and the hotheads are talking about ww2 and the japanese.where is the relevance?Your healthcare system will never change cause there the golf industry will go bust .Archie bunker still lives I see.STOP RUINING THE REST OF THE WORLDfYou never see how many people go outside the USA cause that’s bad press.Go on and get sick and pay through the nose with money you don’t have……………..just stop screwing the worldpleaseThanks you

  • fragmaka said:

    [..YouTube..] And get Forest Gump’s grand daddy off you tube.America can’t change cause they don’t want to.there is a thing called social responsibility and humanitarian or is that a commie plot too.the rich whould not get social security. it should be means tested…..omg that sounds commieG

  • dianetbonner said:

    [..YouTube..] Please stay in Australia….and while your at it, please mind your own business.Let real Americans sort it out.PS…how’s the water?

  • rballew30 said:

    [..YouTube..] You still give Cowboys fans a bad name. Go to bed, Gramps, you`re getting cranky staying up this late.

  • donnapd1 said:

    [..YouTube..] love these names like bravado. All show no go. Change can be a good thing. Depends on what it is. You mention 30 years. So allowing ILLEGALS to invade America by the millions, bring in diseases, and rape/muder/drug Americans a good change? And 3rd world folks to come here and get on the dole good change? Generational welfare good change? I know about innovation. Look at Genentech. I know what makes it disappear. Look at the LIB proposals to kill it. Maybe you are myopic and think change is OBAMA

  • donnapd1 said:

    [..YouTube..] bravado, you twist the constitution. The lawyers want to interpret “general welfare” to mean handouts! That’s NOT what the forefathers had in mind. Healthcare is NOT A RIGHT! You have a RIGHT to access it. But it is your RESPONSIBILITY to get it. You must also take care of YOUR own HEALTH. Be accountable! The words “You owe me”, “I am a victim”, “that’s not fair” and the like are part of the problem. Get a job. Work hard. And get your filthy, lazy hands out of my pocket. Or go to Russia.

  • LAUGHATREPUBLICANS said:

    [..YouTube..] If you want to see something hilarious, go here:/watch?v=zZxeSa2C8TM

  • LAUGHATREPUBLICANS said:

    [..YouTube..] Why are people thumbing me down when I give instruction on how to READ THE BILL ACTUAL BY YOURSELVES?It’s like you hate knowledge. It’s like you hate ACTUAL information and would prefer to masturbate yourselves to the sound of this old hick’s mispronounced insanity.You can’t hide your character, and you can’t bury the truth. This old guy is full of it and so are most of you email forwarders. Don’t you have brains enough to see that this is simply NOT in HR3200?

  • rballew30 said:

    [..YouTube..] Yeah, those were things that Christ would say, right? I don`t think so, and apparently, you wouldn`t know.

  • LAUGHATREPUBLICANS said:

    [..YouTube..] READ THE BILL BY YOURSELF!There is a way to get the ACTUAL bill and a summary… Look here:1- Go to google2- Type this inHR3200 aahca site:.gov filetype:PDFWhat I did was searched Google for any document named HR3200 or aahca, from official sources (dot gov), and only of the filetype PDF.Use your Adobe reader software to search for specific pages and/or phrases he uses. You can see clearly, BY YOURSELVES, that he’s just reading a crazy email that was forwarded to him.

  • jackieatl said:

    [..YouTube..] Sir I truly applaud your comments, unlike the off-topic root-heads below me. I fully understand your points of view and understand them as too my father is in your same situation. In the Army we called this a double-standard, however, it will be people like you and I that put a stop to this non-sense, remove the TRASH (all of them) from Washington, and put our our America back on it’s feet! God Bless you for the video.Hang your Glasden Flag High in front of the house: “Don’t Tread on Me”

  • LAUGHATREPUBLICANS said:

    [..YouTube..] Most importantly, READ THE BILL BY YOURSELF!There is a way to get the actual bill and a summary.1- Go to google2- Type this inHR3200 aahca site:.gov filetype:PDFWhat I did was searched Google for any document named HR3200 or aahca, from official sources (dot gov), and only of the filetype PDF.Use your Adobe reader software to search for specific pages and/or phrases he uses. You can see clearly, BY YOURSELVES, that he’s just reading a crazy email that was forwarded to him.

  • donnapd1 said:

    [..YouTube..] Ha! That was great! Amen to that about rballew30. He can collect his ACORN check tommorrow. He probably found that craigslist post and nibbled on an easy way to shake down Americans and get $500 per week to promote Obama care. Guess rballew 30 got the on-line version of the gig and is hitting up utube posts with is rant. Well, brybryan68, I wish you the best. Gotta keep the faith and take down this radical regime. 2010 we the people will rise again! Be well. Donna

  • donnapd1 said:

    [..YouTube..] You are dillusional! Time to take your meds dude. The patriots were do-ers not take-ers. This great country was built on do-ers not losers like you and rballew30 who like to CHANGE the history books and twist the TRUTH. Be minions for Obama…and be Obombies a.k.a Obamabots. Once your Kool-aid hangover is over, you will be praying to the porcelain god– “wTF!” What did we do? Meanwhile all of us sane straight folks are saying “WTF, how do we mop up the mess made by the imposter?

  • LAUGHATREPUBLICANS said:

    [..YouTube..] 1230burchett – It’s my understanding that sometimes one needs to use stronger language in order to get people’s attention.Foul language is borne not of ignorance, but of exasperation with you SICK FUCKS! Barack is trying to help those less fortunate and YOU KNOW IT! If you can’t let go of your hate long enough to remember the lessons Jesus taught, you don’t get to use Him (use Him) anymore. We won’t forget your hatred of your countrymen; red and yellow, black & white. We won’t forget…

  • LAUGHATREPUBLICANS said:

    [..YouTube..] 1- Get the insurance companies to quit raping people.2- No need for gov’t intrusion.It’s that simple. Who’s with me?

  • rballew30 said:

    [..YouTube..] Pull your head out of your 90 year old ass and answer what I said. Do you think Christ would go along with the garbage you`re tossing around? Of course not. But then, you`ve never read the Bible either. Except the one Glenn Beck holds in his hand. (Takes a sip of Koolaid, um,um,good!)

  • INCADOVES said:

    [..YouTube..] Way to go Mr Crawford. You are right on the mark. Thank you for your effort. I hope and pray our government leaders will work for our good and the good of the country again.

  • coniferblack said:

    [..YouTube..] You mean doers like all the banks that got bailed out?The patriots also helped each other out.They banded together for the common good.Seems to me that they would be in favor of helping each other out, in sickness and in health.Private health care has failed because it does not take care of all Americans,only the wealthy or connected, much like royalty in the class system, something the patriots scorned.You can spend a billion dollars per space shuttle launch but not help a fellow citizen?

  • coniferblack said:

    [..YouTube..] It seems people against public health care are against government in general.That is call anarchy and they are called anarchists.

  • lbxx00 said:

    [..YouTube..] The bill is crap, people aren’t buying it, end of story. One thing they could do that would make if affordable for all is to change the law and let people shop for insurance nationwide, not just in your state. Why won’t they do that? Axelrod was asked that and the video is here on You Tube. Go watch it. He is flustered, skirts the issue, ignores the question. Ask yourself why? I can tell you the reason, they know it will work. They want you to have to depend on their shitty govt. run plan FUBO!!

  • lbxx00 said:

    [..YouTube..] Get lost OBOT

  • LAUGHATREPUBLICANS said:

    [..YouTube..] How about we get insurance companies to quit raping good people?Then there would be no need for Obamacare…It’s that simple. Who’s with me?

  • lbxx00 said:

  • rballew30 said:

    [..YouTube..] Wow, another loonie crawls out of the woodwork. What we really need is to get rid of the ins.cos. that take 20 cents of every dollar spent in premiums, and put it straight into their pockets. That was called the single -payer system, but, God forbid the ins.cos. were going to let that happen. The public option in this bill would have given them competition and driven the rates down, but, oh no. Ill-informed people get irate and so on, and so on. Besides, I don`t see YOUR bill out there. Whiner.

  • rballew30 said:

    [..YouTube..] Again, it gets so quiet in here when you speak truth to these deluded bigots. (Crickets chirping…)

  • therealBombenhagel said:

    [..YouTube..] donnapd1 says, “fertile breading grounds” while berating “public school indoctrination.”What a hoot!Then she calls the good working people of America “elitists,” while saying “Go fuck yourself!” to people who are hurting. Sounds kind of elitist to me, you elitist! Some nerve!

  • rballew30 said:

    [..YouTube..] Well, right completely on, my friend! She is one of the biggest slobs out there, and yet she comes on here and throws bigoted trash around. People like her are an insult to the word American.

  • fragmaka said:

    [..YouTube..] All governments are not like yours. some believe it or not care about people and not big business.Most wasteful society award…………..clunkers awayBest to avoid all the hype and live a healthy life and then you do not have to worry about healthcare…………….stuff the markateers with their salt,sugar,fat adsG

  • fragmaka said:

    [..YouTube..] When America coughs, the world gets cold. How would you like some other country to cause the downfall of your country and put people out of work. Real Americans sortit out? Mr Bush was a real American as was Nixon…….bad apples.The weather is rainy and we are waiting for warmth. Just got a few days of heavy rains. No Palm trees in Melbourne and no Kangaroos in the streets and if they did they are covered by healthcare LOLLong Island, World’s longest sandbar LOL traffic? What’s traffic

  • eagle25ful said:

    [..YouTube..] Wow, first you claim someone doesn’t know what their talking about because they haven’t read the bill, how do you know that, because you disagree with them? Oh and I live in the past. I definitely live in the here and now. Abortion was original set up for rape, incest, life of mother. In the here and now we can birth all but the head, kill the baby and call it legal! So don’t tell me someday someone could decide who is worthily to live or die.

  • LAUGHATREPUBLICANS said:

    [..YouTube..] READ THE BILL BY YOURSELF – HERE!There is a way to get the “actual” bill and a summary.1- Go to google2- Type this inHR3200 aahca site:.gov filetype:PDFWhat I did just now was searched Google for any document named HR3200 or aahca, from official sources (dot gov), and only of the filetype PDF.Use your Adobe reader software to search for specific pages and/or phrases he uses. You can see clearly, BY YOURSELVES, that he’s just reading a crazy email that was forwarded to him.

  • AtlasShruggery said:

    [..YouTube..] Uh, bcbullfrog, methinks it is you who are confused. There is no federal HB 2300. Do you maybe mean HR 3200? Please, don’t blame others for your lack of reading skills or those of your Senator. There are lots of us who have read the bill and who comprehend its contents. That’s why we know that Mr. Crawford is lying when he claims that he is reading from the bill. Why does he have to lie about it?

  • quizerry said:

    [..YouTube..] go to whitehouse. org the bills are there. They are confusing and leave the door open for Government to do what they want with your healthcare. The mandates are crazy. A new study from economist says the Government plan will create $820 billion in new taxes and 95% increase in premiums over the next 10 years.

  • quizerry said:

    [..YouTube..] That is what he claims but these bills wil cost the middle class the most.

  • quizerry said:

    [..YouTube..] What people don’t understand is the Government already sets the prices for 1/2 our healthcare sector directly and the other 1/2 indirectly. They control production and consumption by determining the number of Doc; what services medical professionals can offer and under what terms; where they can practice; who can open a hospital or purchase a new MRI; who can market a drug or medical device; and what kind of health insurance consumers may purchase. They do a lousy job of keeping down cost.

  • quizerry said:

    [..YouTube..] Now they want to take over more control. We have a private market, but private isn’t free market when Government controls the resources and how they are used. They have passed the laws, regulations & mandates that have reduced competition and benefited themselves and the Industry at consumers expense. The only way to cut cost is a true free market system where consumers actually drive prices. Experts say just allowing purchasing across State lines would give 17 million access to affordable care

  • bravado214 said:

    [..YouTube..] How do I know that he wasn’t reading from the bill? Because he claimed to be reading from it and yet what he is saying isn’t in the bill. That is the truth. Period. As for abortion, you and others keep bringing up the issue of abortion and yet, again, the bills being written do not address this. I quote, “No federal dollars will be used to fund abortions, and federal conscience laws will remain in place.” What part of that do you not understand? (Full rebuttal at steamd(.)net)

  • bravado214 said:

    [..YouTube..] No, I’m not twisting the Constitution. When you have an industry that excludes people and forces them to pay through the nose to get drugs and preventative care, that’s not exactly fair. What we’re talking about is basic fairness in the system which does not exist. It’s the gov’ts responsibility to ensure our “general welfare”. I’m not talking about handouts. I do work hard and I can pay for it…but I’m being excluded. So, what do I do? Grin and bear it? (Full rebuttal at steamd(.)net)

  • rballew30 said:

    [..YouTube..] Oh my God, you`re an idiot. Pull your tiny head out of Glenn Beck`s ass and breathe already. Okay, that`s enough, put it back in. Good boy.

  • Jjjs14 said:

    [..YouTube..] Why is he an idiot for telling the truth?

  • btenneyful said:

    [..YouTube..] I’m ready to vote this man into office!!

  • Repubs4HC1 said:

    [..YouTube..] quizzery, WHY DON’T YOU QUIT TRYING TO SPREAD MIS-INFORMATION??? QUIT TRYING TO PREVENT US FROM SEEING ACTUAL INFORMATION THAT WILL CHANGE PEOPLE’S MINDS?1- It’s NOT whitehouse. org – it’s whitehouse. gov2- Honest mistake, right? You’ve been there, right? WRONG! A search on whitehouse. gov does NOT bring any results for HR3200. See whitehouse. gov/search/?keywords=HR3200 for your reference.3- You mention a “new study.” WHAT NEW STUDY? New taxes? HUH? 95% increase? YOU LIE!

  • rballew30 said:

    [..YouTube..] Read back a few lines to egl25ful. That`s who I was responding to.

  • Repubs4HC1 said:

    [..YouTube..] 4- You say, “The only way to cut cost is a true free market system where consumers actually drive prices.” CONSUMERS DRIVE PRICES NOW! INSURERS RATION CARE NOW! BUREAUCRACY EXISTS NOW! INSURERS ARE THE MIDDLE MAN, ***BY DEFINITION*** STANDING IN BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR DOCTOR NOW!5- You say, “…They control production.” Is that NOW??? You’re saying that is the way it is NOW? That’s the very DEFINITION of SOCIALISM (where gov’t controls the means of production)!!! You are in la-la land!

  • rballew30 said:

    [..YouTube..] Judging from your site, (no friends, no subscribers, no videos) I guess he could be your friend.

  • bcbullfrog said:

    [..YouTube..] I expect most people on here agree that insurance companies need some reforms to protect the individual. Health costs need to come down, drug companies need reform. Address those concerns individually – not in a 1,000+ page piece of legislation that will destroy the good with the bad.

  • bcbullfrog said:

    [..YouTube..] You are exactly right on these points. But remember, greed and corruption are universal – both sides are guilty of these “sins” – so beware of a 1,000+ page piece of legislation that only lawyers can decipher.

  • btenneyful said:

    [..YouTube..] You can cut me down all you want, but this man speaks the truth!

  • rballew30 said:

    [..YouTube..] Well,sure. Unfortunately, it`s all we have at the moment. Plus, you couldn`t tackle them one by one, the lobbyists would make sure of that.

  • camelguy13 said:

    [..YouTube..] The most recent Rasmussen poll regarding Obama’s health care plan:41% support, 56% oppose.I am guessing that the liberals will say that the 56% are misguided and believing the lies.And everyone is out of step except Johnny!

  • rballew30 said:

    [..YouTube..] Yep.

  • wildflowersandi said:

    [..YouTube..] God Bless you Sir and your family. NO WHITE FLAGS!!!

  • rballew30 said:

    [..YouTube..] That`s true, all true. Nice to have a civil debate with an intelligent person

  • hummerlady54 said:

    [..YouTube..] I couldn’t agree more. I’m not quite a Senior yet but I’m permanently disabled and have been on SSDI since 1997. My husband has been unemployed for almost 2 years and is without any healthcare. But, I do not want the Federal government to make decision for me or to entitle insurance to every American then not have access because there are not enough doctors or technicians to take care of us. Many will die waiting. I am horrified at the thought of this.

  • LAUGHATREPUBLICANS said:

    [..YouTube..] That’s interesting… I show the same thing on Rasmussen. Here’s the thing, though. Among seniors, this is a new low, and one must consider the source. Rasmussun is always favorable to the Republican position. Gallup and 538 (Nate Silver) are not showing similar data. I could ask the more curious among you email forwarders to check the latest Gallup poll, which provides a more comprehensive breakdown of age demography. Ultimately, polls mean squat. Look on Rasmussun for John McCain’s chances.

  • quizerry said:

    [..YouTube..] my mistake on congress not white house. org look under legislation and search for the bill by HR 3200 plus all the others are there to. The study come from cato. org

  • quizerry said:

    [..YouTube..] Ok I’ll give you one example of where Government regulations cut free market competition. Allowing purchasing across State line would give 17 million access to affordable care and also cut cost to others. Instead of the cartel of the handfull in your State w/ little competition. Consumers would be able to shop hundreds of companies across the U.S. there by driving prices down to compete for your business. Putting health care dollars into hand of consumers instead of 3rd parties.

  • 4dales said:

    [..YouTube..] Liberals are all the same. Can’t handle facts when presented to them. I’m yet to see them face common sense questions with common sense answers. Just like playing God, they want to control everything like health care. Take natural law and make it their law. Just sick of it all. I frankly don’t care anymore and I’m glad the “Silent majority” is finally speaking up. Those with the hidden agendas have had the microphone since the 60’s but now they’re getting the same right back at them.

  • 1MadAsHell said:

    [..YouTube..] Regardless of political party control, “our country” has become “the country”. Our government is actually telling us what we HAVE to do whether we like it or not, changing our daily social activities. Whether you or they know it, this act, as well as many others adopted in the past, are communistiic in nature. Focus people focus!

  • 1MadAsHell said:

    [..YouTube..] Don’t EVER give up! Not caring is the worst thing any citizen can do.

  • cavecanem4 said:

    [..YouTube..] It appears that laughatrepublicans missed the point that the seniors have paid into this system for 30 years and the govt mismanagement of this system has created the current predicament. Others should realize that when the govt is planning to charge everyone health insurance premiums that will also be mismanaged. Nothing will change except for the fact that no one will be happy with the new system. Thanks to the fine gentleman who put out this video.

  • camelguy13 said:

    [..YouTube..] While polls are not absolute they do act as barometers.I believe most everyone agrees, Democrat, Republicans and Independents, that health care reform is needed.If we could remove the emotional and political rhetoric from the left and right and take an intellectual approach to solving the health care problems success would be more attainable.We should not try to eat the whole elephant (no reference to Republicans here).We need to eat one piece at a time.

  • therealBombenhagel said:

    [..YouTube..] Get over yourself, Dale. Talk about a hidden agenda… All we want is for more Americans to live longer, healthier lives, but the way you guys tell it (literally, scroll up), you make it sound like we’re trying to put people in OVENS!Barack is trying to help the helpless, and you’re so partisan, you’re all like, “Get a job, you Communist welfare queen!” It’s nothing like that. I work damn hard. I love my parents. I would NEVER let anything happen to them. Dale, we’re fighting FOR you.

  • therealBombenhagel said:

    [..YouTube..] cavecanem,I think you’re missing the point that insurance companies are completely raping good people out of their life savings. They have 20-30 cents out of every dollar they take in stacked against you. They are preying on the old and weak. Insurance companies need to stop letting people die for dollars.All we want is a zero sum game. For every $1we pay in, I want $1’s worth of service. No more, no less. Insurance companies are only giving back 60-80 cents of services for my $.

  • nataliepkelley said:

    [..YouTube..] I am glad someone finally pointed out that everyone in this country already gets healtcare regardless of whether or not they pay. Why not give healthcare providers tax credits to treat people for free?

  • lillymoreau said:

    [..YouTube..] You speak the truth and I hope this video will be seen by those in control of our health care and lives as seniors. We are very worried about what is happening to us!

  • musicandorlando said:

    [..YouTube..] Very good speach hope the right people get to view this one thanks for sharing with us.

  • therealBombenhagel said:

    [..YouTube..] Hey quizzery,Stop giving documented, known, STATED right wing think tanks for official House bills. Another user gave a good, perfect recipe for getting the REAL House Bill HR3200. I’ll give it again…1- Go to google2- Type this inHR3200 aahca site:.gov filetype:PDFThat’s a Google “whack” to the exact document under debate (not for long though; get it while it’s hot).It’s like you don’t WANT honest debate. It’s like you WANT to purposely fuzz the message.What about the ?’s asked?

  • therealBombenhagel said:

    [..YouTube..] Hey quizzery,You said, “Instead of the cartel of the handfull in your State w/ little competition. Consumers would be able to shop hundreds of companies across the U.S. there by driving prices down to compete for your business.”Here’s how that would work out:The fish bowl would only be bigger. They would continue to screw us, and their profit model would be completely binding.We work hard. I work hard. I love my parents. This is not capitalism. It’s a stickup. “Your money or your life.”

  • cavecanem4 said:

    [..YouTube..] bombenhagel: reform is needed and the govt can do much to regulate insurance companies whose policies have moved this to the front burner. Govt takeover of the health care system is just wrong. The govt does not have the authority to make this a mandatory program. A Govt mandate of this nature will stink at the highest level. We cannot allow this to happen. Look at the penalties for not buying into the govt insurance programs. There are even criminal penalties. Does that give you pause?

  • LAUGHATREPUBLICANS said:

    [..YouTube..] therealBombenhagel,You’re absolutely right. It’s not capitalism. True capitalism relies on hones, REAL competition. It’s like when the Big 3 cereal companies got in trouble some years back for fixing prices artificially high. That’s exactly what insurers would do; they’d all fix their prices nationwide. The profit model would be inescapable.Capitalism = competition for business. Rival companies are enemies, fighting for your business & keeping prices low.Competition makes a better product.

  • LAUGHATREPUBLICANS said:

    [..YouTube..] cavecanem,You’re still using loaded words like “gov’t takeover.”It’s NOT a gov’t takeover at all. You should check out “The Language of Healthcare” on Google. It’s a GOP manual for stoppping all reform. The fact you are using their buzzphrase gives me pause.It’s simple. Competition creates a better product. Since we can’t count on these vultures (insurers) to compete honestly, it’s like the gov’t is opening up shop. If it’s better, you buy it. If it’s a clunker, you buy something else…

  • bravado214 said:

    [..YouTube..] I believe it’s spelled “delusional” and, no, I’m not delusional nor am I one of Obama’s minions, Obombie, Obamabot, or whatever you wanna call it. I may have voted for him but I don’t call myself a huge supporter. Hell, I don’t even prescribe to a specific party. More on your comment in another comment. (Full rebuttal at steamd(.)net)

  • CheshireCat1954 said:

    [..YouTube..] You lie!It is Government takeover and D’Rats, including Obama, are on “tape” saying it over and over again, in the past. Now that the American people have said NO WAY on Obamacare, then you try to change the message.YOU LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • bravado214 said:

    [..YouTube..] Ask yourself the following question: If you found out that you will die tomorrow unless you take a specific drug everyday for the rest of your life, how much would you be willing to pay for that drug? $1 a pill? $10 a pill? How about $500 a pill? At what point do we realize that pharmaceutical companies are extorting customers? That is the dilemma we face right now with health care. Same applies to health insurance companies. That is the truth. (Full rebuttal at steamd(.)net)

  • melinda48 said:

    [..YouTube..] Amen Camelguy.We certainly need to make some changes but we don’t have to dismantle the whole system to do so. Obama is coming across as someone who believes the government should be an end-all for the American people. The government should protect us to that we can achieve all we can. Medicaid is a mess (corruption, mismanagement, etc.) Medicare Advantage makes Medicare work & that is the very aspect of it he wants to cut. Please people, constructive comments!

    [..YouTube..] You are not fighting for me you ignorant foolBarack is not trying to help anyone..he just wants control.. control..of idiots like you

  • bodaciouscowboy said:

    [..YouTube..] This guy doesn’t mention that almost all Medicare fraud is committed by the PRIVATE sector — by pharmaceutical companies, insurance companies and individuals. He makes it sound like it’s all due to government mismanagement. This entire video distorts the truth beyond recognition.

  • cavecanem4 said:

    [..YouTube..] bodacious: that is the problem. The govt only puts less than 1% of their admin budget to fraud. If you are running the program you are in charge of the fraud and you have all the control. The fraud is a huge part of what is paid out. This fine gentleman is stating the facts as he sees them. He paid in. I paid in. We don’t want this. We want the fraud to stop. We want reform of trial lawyers and drug companies. We want insurance companies to stop scewing people. We don’t want this.

  • donnapd1 said:

    [..YouTube..] 5561drum. Absolutely! But it is very hard to convince brain washed folks to believe otherwise.

  • donnapd1 said:

    [..YouTube..] bravado214. What do you do for a living? I bet you are not in R&D or pharma industry. Sadly, you have no clue what pharma spends to create innovative therapies. I do. Private money is used. Such folks take BIG risks. Millions can be lost in Phase II or Phase III trials. Let’s take antibiotics, only 1 in 5,000 compounds will ever see the market. You care not of the investors losses. Pharma is the only industry that loses its patent protection in <20 years with generics. They’re NOT the same.

  • donnapd1 said:

    [..YouTube..] bravado214. You voted for a Marxist, so much for your research capabilities. You can’t fix heathcare ills until the root cause are addressed. The DEMS and BO lost all credibility when they took TORT reform off the table and cutting off ALL AID TO ILLEGAL CRIMINALS! Now there’s a few billion saved. You hate pharma but the same pharma has helped saved diabetic children, extended lives, etc. Where is the gratitude? But you think it’s okay to pay $100 to see a football game. That’s not extortion?

  • greyfox1usa said:

    [..YouTube..] I am happy I live in Canada. In spite of all the hype in the US about our health care up here it is pretty good – and I don’t have to worry about losing my house if I have a health problem.

There is no value on a human life, so there is no ceiling to what the free market can charge to repair you. This money eating machine is the height of immorality. Hostage our family’s health… And we have to listen to every 20 year-old Fox lemming spew insults here on Youtube.Believe me, there will be nothing left for you.

  • donnapd1 said:

    [..YouTube..] Yavor54. Obama is done. The Democraps will lose BIG in 2010 and ObamaSCARE will fail. NO PUBLIC OPTION, so BO can’t control you through the tax code. Pity the fool who loves the Marxist. BO sends his girls to PRIVATE school. If gov’t run public school’s so GREAT, why aren’t they there? If OBAMA-SCARE is so great why won’t the Democraps use it? Do some base-line thinking. BO can give 2 craps about you and your family-you’ve been taken but good. Teddy K is the poster child for term limits!

  • donnapd1 said:

  • bigprick210 said:

    [..YouTube..] Fox just reported that Obama’s health care plan will fine violators $25,000 and/or 1 year in jail — is this not a form of debtor’s prison which is unconstitutional in the once-great United States of America?Everyone should call Congress and Obama and ask — if the Health Care Reform Plan/Bill is so GREAT, why does it EXEMPT Obama and his family and Congress and their families (page 114, line 22)?

  • ColoFowlball said:

    [..YouTube..] I definitely don’t trust insurance companies. I helped one build their health care computer system and the whole purpose is multiple layers with a purpose not to approve or pay for care. It’s all based on profit for the insurance company even if your company is picking up the direct costsof the HC themselves and it will get bad/worse quickly.

  • GodsGalaxy said:

    [..YouTube..] Isawanangel1XBirds of a feather! Obama’s gathering his flock to prepare for the New World Order (NWO) – which Christians refer to as the One World Government. Henry Kissinger (a Bildeberg-er) suggested not long ago that Obama could be the leader of the NWO. According to the Bible, the leader of the One World Government will turn out to be the AntiChrist.Note: The way Nazism gained a foothold in Germany was through the healthcare system. Obama was weaned on Nazi/Communist teachings!

  • GodsGalaxy said:

    [..YouTube..] This is a wonderful conservative site. Its about a man who wanted to warn others about what he feels is a harmful healthcare bill. Our Founding Fathers would have liked this man – as many of us do.

  • dixonspal said:

    [..YouTube..] I applaud this man for having the guts to say what all of us should, need and must say to everyone and , to pass on and make all seniors realize just what all the Congress and Obama are wanting to pass. Why is it they all have their own medical policy plus they do not pay into Social Security. When is it all going to stop. We are becoming a Communistic Country.

  • pochemunyet said:

  • patriotliz said:

    [..YouTube..] The ORIGINAL SINS were Social Security and Medicare. Seniors willingly fed at those troughs of government entitlements which are giant Ponzi schemes. Seniors paid in, but they end up taking so much more out and now these programs are ready to collapse. Gee, who would have seen that coming? Once you trust gov’t to care for your personal needs in terms of income or health, you already have allowed the camel’s nose under the tent.

  • MsPsimmons said:

    [..YouTube..] Excellent, excellent and well said. I just hope they read or view it. Some legislative aide who is 23 or 24 will read it i’m afraid.

  • Idahodays said:

    [..YouTube..] A person paying S.S. taxes since age 18 would have more than $1,000,000. Do you know anyone who has received that from social security? People didn’t willingly pay into it. They were, as you are, forced to pay into it. Politicians promised all funds would be kept in a trust fund. They lied, as usual, and the whole system is bankrupt–just as they will bankrupt the health care system if they are allowed to do so and then we will have to wait, like they do in Canada–4 to 6 months for an M.R.I.

  • 44para said:

    [..YouTube..] This is very well spoken, its a shame the same generation who saved the world once before is having to help fight for us once again… wake up you 20 and 30 somethings! your gonna have to pay for it as well as your kids, grand kids etc…Remember to same govt you want to take care of your health care is in charge of the post office and social security too. and we all see the shape they are in now.

  • Idahodays said:

    [..YouTube..] Anyone who was forced to pay into the system since age 18 would have over $1,000,000, if invested in a savings account. That is not exactly being “fed at the troughs” since no one I know has received that kind of return on their money. Politicians lied and said they would keep funds collected in a trust fund. They bankrupted the fund and will do the same thing with our health care. Then we can wait 4-6 Mo., as in Canada, for an M.R. I.

No, dunce, some people get disabled early and collect all their lives. Some never collect at all. Either way, it’s a govt run wealth-redistribution (socialist) program exactly like what you rightwing dipshits are screaming about. I know, I know, it’s okay if YOU suck off the govt teat as long as nobody else gets any relief. God forbid you assholes help a fellow citizen.

Obviously, if you can afford a computer and all your other gizmos, you can afford HEALTHCARE. Looks like you need a good behavioral health carve out, too! BO Joker!

  • 13001111 said:

    [..YouTube..] You should be proud your military service, timaloha. And we should be proud of you.You fought to defend individuals rights and freedom. This bill (yes, I’ve read everything I can get my hands on) smacks that freedom in the face. I don’t expect to change your mind. Neither will you change mine. But just a word of advice to everyone on this board…people who resort to swearing and name-calling don’t project themselves as very intelligent.

  • julieannayoga said:

    [..YouTube..] This man doesn’t get it! True, non-totalitarian “socialism” works – as in Canada (healthcare), in Europe and other countries! Correction: the law that allows anyone to go to a hospital and get care without pay does the minimal….and sometimes such persons do not get care because of the influx of others with care but for which there is not enough staff. How do you explain Kaiser Permanente dumping homeless “patients” on the streets of L.A.? Turning away others…. cont’d…

  • Itisatruthliesbattle said:

    [..YouTube..] This man can not seriously think what he is saying is the truth. He has had to be paid by the insurance companies to do this video. However, I do think there are, unfortunately, people out there that are very ignorant and believe the propaganda presented by insurance companies so the insurance companies can continue discriminating and making huge profits. Buying insurance today is like playing Russian roulette

  • julieannayoga said:

    [..YouTube..] He doesn’t get it – the truth, the clarity: Medicaid of course will be cut back because Healthcare Reform will cover rich and poor allike! (obvious)!Praytell, what is wrong with all doctors getting the same pay regardless of specialty. Now, if some doctors have more EXPERIENCE than others, I believe they should be paid for their years, and may indeed be (raises over the years). The man in the video just doesn’t see the broad picture…& has read parts of the bill OUT OF CONTEXT!

  • ddbllhi said:

He’s misrepresenting too… read a former comment: v35b (1 week ago)I went to Google to look at the real bill… It seems Mr Crawford has made up all this stuff, as none of his page numbers reference to his quotes and neither words “rationed” or “rationing” is found in the over 1000 pages of the bill. …a fraud.

  • anniei12 said:

    [..YouTube..] This man has never had to fight a insurance co for services. Government doesn’t always get things right & yes there is a lot to be improved but insurance companies don’t have a stellar record either. Has everyone forgotten the past problems with HMO’s? Or when insurance cos. were kicking new moms out of hospital after 24 hrs? It was our government who had to step in. Business only cares about earning a buck, if they cared about giving us good coverage they would have found a way to do it already

  • lorria51640 said:

    [..YouTube..] It may have cost you only $25 to have a baby while in the service last year but what about AFTER this passes? Suppose something is wrong with the baby or spouse. Would this new bill take care of a sickly child or mother who goes into toxic shock or worse? If your 65 year old parent/spouse needs extreme/costly) treatment do you think this would cost “just” $25 or would it be too expensive for the Bills panel to approve?

  • lorria51640 said:

    [..YouTube..] Before jumping on board anything, GET ALL THE FACTS, .not just the ones that take of your todays, but also your tomorrows! GET ALL THE FACTS. READ THE ENTIRE BILL AND QUESTION ANYTHING/EVERYTHING. Then, and only then, make your decision.

  • lorria51640 said:

    [..YouTube..] You MUST be a well-informed citizen in order to protect your rights. Check with Candians or Brits who have similar health care systems.

  • wyoman100 said:

    [..YouTube..] The best reason to oppose government run health care is the government’s record when it does run things. Social security was a good idea. Then congress decided to steal it’s surpluses to cover irresponsible spending. Now they say S, S, is going broke. It actually holds government IOUs that pay almost no interest. They just don’t want to have to pay up. Medicare is a corrupt joke. I am on it and promise you it pays closer to 1/3 than 80% and fraud is rampant. And look at the veterans system.

  • 35slantback said:

    [..YouTube..] News Flash…..Health care programs are NOT working in the U.K., Canada, France, etc. Especially France. Bottom line….it’s much too expensive and will eventually bankrupt France if changes are not made and made soon. Do a search and read the article in the Wall Street Journal (written about three weeks ago).The same thing will happen in the USA….oh well, Comrade, we are moving away from evil capitalism and well on our way to socialism/marxism and eventual bankruptcy anyway.

  • kfitz100 said:

    [..YouTube..] I have never liked being TOLD what I can or cannot do. If what I CHOOSE is wrong for me then I want the option of trying something else.

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. ( Timothy 6 : 9-11 )

  • Antgne said:

    [..YouTube..] This is unethical! And it’s a pack of lies too. Do you people seriously think for one minute that the insurance/drug companies want Americans to have health care? And, listen buddy, if you don’t like the way government is run, then LEAVE. You are not the only one who has contributed to these programs. Death counserling, is this the best you can do. It is these people at these meetings who are calling names. Put away your phoney flag, it doesn’t work.

  • bmgmtside said:

    [..YouTube..] Julieannayoga is a complete idiot. Has not read the bill, knows nothing about health care and is probably uneducated. Maybe high school if she is lucky and flipping burgers at McDonald’s.Government run health care, manufacturing, or any sector of the economy is a joke. These people, can’t run the post office, let alone the economy. If Canada is so great please move there with your entire crowd julieannayoga because you deserve anything you get there in the way of health care.

  • cavecanem4 said:

    [..YouTube..] timaloha: the government is not capable of running a program this huge. The Federal Bureaucracy to make this happen will be so huge it will bankrupt this country. The congress can reform some basic items like tort reform and pre-existing conditions but to strangle the entire population with this is insane. We can make some positive changes without bankrupting the country.

  • LAUGHATREPUBLICANS said:

    [..YouTube..] cavecanem4,You getting it all wrong. This is about value for our money. That’s all it’s about. If insurance companies would stop raping people, I would be happy. Clearly they won’t, so there is no real competition in the marketplace. If the government enters the marketplace as a competitor, they are proposing a zero-sum game. That means $1 worth of service for $1 paid; not $0.60-0.80 for $1 paid like private insurers. This is a no-brainer. Competition makes a better product. We buy for value.

  • LAUGHATREPUBLICANS said:

    [..YouTube..] What the government is proposing is a zero-sum insurance program. $1 coverage for every $1 paid. Insurance the way it is now only gives back about $0.60-0.80 in service for every dollar you pay in. This should be a no-brainer.If it’s a better product and provides greater value, you buy it.If the product sucks and provides poor value for your dollar, you buy somewhere else.That’s it! That’s ALL. It’s not Communist. IT’S AMERICAN. It’s your choice. OPTION = CHOICE. It’s an OPTION!!!

    [..YouTube..] Soc Security was used to balance budget for Vietnam War, then it was raided for Star Wars.Not every Senior is called a Nazi, only the Nazis.Death counseling is NOT in lieu. INSURANCE currently blocks such care. 21% of claims REJECTED in Calif by top 6 insurers, causing sickness and death.The Christian Coalition STRONGLY supported the Taliban in the 80s, called anti-Taliban “TRAITORS”. Reagan’s Freedom Fighters, got billions of dollars.

  • bravado214 said:

    [..YouTube..] I guess what I’m saying is that while you think you know all there is to know about the pharma companies, your view doesn’t represent the reality that customers have to deal with when it comes to drug costs. While millions can be lost during drug trials, *billions* are made off the drugs that go on the market. I remember a time when doctors were the ones who recommended drugs, not hundreds of commercials on TV. What happened? Greed happened and it’s ruining the industry.

  • cavecanem4 said:

    [..YouTube..] bombenhagel and laughatrepublicans: you are assuming this is about healthcare and that bill HR 3200 will end up the law. WRONG!!! You both have to be very young and naive. As a sidelight Obama has made many promises he has already broken and there is more to come. Thus I contiune to email my representative in Congress. The only people who like this see govt as the answer. Many people see govt as the problem.

  • wyoman100 said:

    [..YouTube..] It has been said both ways. Thank you for making my point about the religion version.

  • dilbertgeg said:

    [..YouTube..] INSURANCE cos ration care today, based on cost and what they think they can get away with, what the “adjustors” can find to kick you out or cut off services.Some proposed rules on rationing in the bill SEEMS to be a decision to standardize InsurCo rationing to a formula, no longer arbitrary cuts. That proposal includes the point that RICH people will ALWAYS have the chance to buy Cadillac coverage or pay out-of-pocket, as now. The improvement is for NON-rich (hopefully).

  • bravado214 said:

    [..YouTube..] Marxist? Far from it. May have voted for him but, again, that doesn’t automatically make me a blind follower. The root cause of healthcare probs isn’t illegal immigrants. That may be part of the problem but it isn’t the root. Tort reform is another area that needs to be addressed, I agree. I’m not against the pharma industry making a profit. I’m against them driving costs up in artificial ways just to make their stock value go up. Ends up costing the consumer more money.

    [..YouTube..] What part of the words “PUBLIC OPTION” don’t you get?

  • bravado214 said:

    [..YouTube..] Oh, and I’m not that much into football. Love a good game once in a while. I live in Dallas and, let me tell you, I do know extortion when I see it. Won’t see me paying over $100 to go to a Cowboys game in the new stadium, no sir! Nor will I pay over $300 a month that I have to take everyday. Is that not extortion as well? At what point do we call it extortion? (Full rebuttal at steamd(.)net)

  • donnapd1 said:

    [..YouTube..] Web developers make insane money. So I think you should be capped for your product and services. Is that fair? Are you saving lives? NO. Bravado, it’s folks like you who have NO clue about pharma, so anything you say is unsupported BS. The FDA has strict regs. Drug companies require multiple phase trials. Therapies for HIV were demanded to be released sooner due to the nature of the disease. Sometimes drugs may fail post market as patients are not in clinically controlled settings.

  • xkater said:

    [..YouTube..] He is in line with Fox, Beck, Palin and Limbaugh!This is what happens when lies are repeated over and over, even after we know they are lies. He is a part of those who do not accept the rules of our own Democracy. They call Obama names, they do not understand that Obama was elected because a vast majority of Americans were fed up with Republican leadership. They (Right wing Extremists) learned lessons from the insurgents and Al-Qaida in that they wage a propaganda war.

  • swpeace said:

    [..YouTube..] Dakota, the dog probably gets better medical care that alot of people in this country. Single payer

  • donnapd1 said:

    [..YouTube..] Say a lie long enough and it becomes the truth. BAd journalism and media malpractice are the norm. Do you know that we foot the bill for R&D and the rest of the world benefits from it? TV commercials give people information. They can talk to their docs. Only a doctor can write a script not a patient. You build web pages take Suboxone look at their site. Pharma has spent millions to educate people about diseases and treatments via unbranded deliverables, inform clinicians via CME settings…

  • Superstretch18 said:

    [..YouTube..] cavecanem4 I realize that many see government as part of the problem, but after the past year, you have to admit that business is another big link in the problem. You could make the argument that if government had stepped into the banking industry sooner, we could have avoided this entire economic mess.The right solution is not going to come from either side exclusively. There needs to be real healthcare reform for everyone…

  • 50nuggets said:

    [..YouTube..] Go to politifact , com, that’s where everyone can get their facts straight. This man is quite obviously not reading the actual bill, but merely a conservative-biased interpretation of it. It doesn’t matter which political stance you have taken, all that matters is that when you make an argument, you use the truth to back up your statements.

  • JudyAMW said:

    [..YouTube..] I wonder who scared this poor old man, although I have a real good idea. He has stood there for 7 minutes repeating all of the lies and misrepresentations going on in the health care debate (and I use that term lightly).

  • bravado214 said:

    [..YouTube..] Not all web developers make insane money. You don’t know what you’re talking about. Granted, some developers will overcharge for their services but I don’t. I offer a fair and competitive price for my services. I make a fairly decent living but I’m pretty much self-employed so I have to pay for my health insurance out of my own pocket. No breaks for being employed by a large company. As for pharma regs, explain what happened with Vioxx? Was that just a fluke? Or signs of a bigger problem?

  • LAUGHATREPUBLICANS said:

    [..YouTube..] BUT YOU SKEW THE DATA!YOU LEAVE STUFF OUT!YOU LIE BY OMISSION!”But it might not come to any of this prioritizing for the H1N1, experts conceded.”Maybe you should explain why you would do such a thing…

  • xkater said:

    [..YouTube..] Note: At 2:30 count in the video he says: “…We have not done our duty as citizens” …meaning that he blames ordinary Americans for Congress’s shortcomings. Yeah, we allowed powerful interest groups to “buy” votes and decisions. So what is he doing? MORE OF THE SAME!!!!!!!!!!! Just as we, Americans and our President are trying to reverse that trend. Thank you Mr. TX!!!!!

  • cavecanem4 said:

    [..YouTube..] superstretch I think the govt had a hand in the banking crisis. There were regs in place to avoid that. Alan Greenspan allowed the derivatives market to return…it was outlawed for about 50 years. Reform is needed and can be accomplished without this huge poke in the eye to the taxpayer. Govt is out of bounds on this. They can’t even run a VA hospital. Why would we want them in our lives to this extent?

  • whitewolf60 said:

    [..YouTube..] donna…”TV commercials give people information”. People see a commercial about a drug and decide to ask their doctor about it. The doc prescribes it. The patient uses the drug, then dies of a heart attack because of it. Then come the Lawyers with a TV commercial to give people information about suing the drug manufacturer who advertised and sold the drug. To paraphrase Alan Keyes: “Have we gone mad?”. What a collosal waste of wealth. Humans survived for thousands of years without this bullshit.

  • nitewriter66 said:

    [..YouTube..] There will be those who say there are no death consults…not so. There are already two provisions for those that are included in the cap and trade bill that was passed. The negative comments made are obviously from NONsenior citizens. You’d better realize that once this is passed it’s irrevocable and YOU are going to be old one day…if you are lucky.

  • whitewolf60 said:

    [..YouTube..] As for the Post Office vs. FedEx argument, whatever the intention at the founding of the postal service, profit was not the motive; providing a means for communication and the benefits that entailed WERE motives. While the postal service stops at EVERY SINGLE mailbox, SIX DAYS per week, whether or not they have something to deliver (there MAY BE something to pick up), FedEx may bypass entire small towns if they have nothing to deliver there. FedEx doesn’t deliver letters for 44 cents, either.

  • Jackieis60 said:

    [..YouTube..] Somewhere in a cloistered room, top Repubs and Dems met for a meeting, and it was decided, “You make abortion issues your cause and we’ll make health care issues our cause, and amid all the clatter we’ll fool these rubes into thinking we’re going to do anything for them, while we conduct our REAL business in high places which is to enrich ourselves and our cronies.” Oink.

  • sxstein said:

    [..YouTube..] There is so much misinformation here, I wouldn’t know where to start. Too much Fox news?

  • sxstein said:

    [..YouTube..] There is no final bill up for a vote. There are over 500 amendments under consideration.

  • cavecanem4 said:

    [..YouTube..] one more point that is our children and grandchildren will be stuck with this overwhelming debt. That is not right. People that have retired or are about to retire have footed the bill for every item that Congress has come up with. Now we see them putting debt on our children. We can’t have that. I lived thru the 70’s trying to feed my family. The current debt is scary. We haven’t even hit the inflation cycle. That is just around the corner.

  • Cowboyinthewest said:

    [..YouTube..] I sure am glad that only Republicans scream at meetings and use profanity. Repubs4HC1 must be on top of the pile of the Republican garbage (sic) (actually I surmise that he is actually a Democrat) that does those things at Town Hall Meetings.Obliviously, Repubs4HC1 lacks a little in the brain development department and needs ObamaCare the most.

  • donnapd1 said:

    [..YouTube..] Whitewolf, are you talking abour Viagra? Why not talk about other drugs like Herceptin that treat cancer patients who are surviving or other drugs that treat CF, RA versus male enhancement. There is a market for that..and men demand it. You are cherry picking for your convenience. And granted you can find fault in every industry. But if you seek to destroy Pharma in the US, it will thrive elsewhere cheaper but you will still pay.Where is the outcry for OTC meds that kill people? Go research it.

  • donnapd1 said:

The Labor Department reported Friday that 42 states lost more jobs than they gained in August, and that 14 plus Washington, D.C., reported unemployment rates of 10% or more. how’s that working for us?

  • Cowboyinthewest said:

    [..YouTube..] More on the Calgary mom of 4.It is interesting that the Calgary Health Region picked up the tab for the babies’ U.S. health care – from $1,500 to $2,000 a day for the mother, Karen, and from $6,000 to $7,000 a day for each of the four girl’s stay in intensive care. Had Karen delivered in Calgary (pop 1,010,000 Great Falls pop 56,690), her care would have cost $800 a day, and it would have been $2,500 a day for the quads. See how much less non existent care is in Canada?

  • whitewolf60 said:

    [..YouTube..] donna…I’m just making the point that advertising on TV of prescription drugs is a bad idea. I have no problem making them all OTC, and then wouldn’t have a problem with the advertising. Why, if you’ve determined based on an ad that a drug may help you, should you then have to inform your doctor of it, then PAY HIM to allow you to purchase it? That doesn’t make any sense to me. Actually, it is a cartel operation designed to keep prices artificially high through the “aura” of the prescription.

  • MrMhazard said:

    [..YouTube..] What do you expect? The future generations have always had to pay for previous debt, as in Medicare. He is wrong to assert that Medicare is not working. I receive Medicare and have no problems with it as do millions of other people in this country. Who does he think will pay for the Iraq war? It will be our children. They’ll deal with it, just as we have.

  • donnapd1 said:

    [..YouTube..] “I have no problem making them all OTC” REALLY? wow, then it is okay to have schedule III drugs OTC? TV ads inform people about all kinds of products/services. You obviously don’t understand the biz. Be careful my friend about your thoughts and they run down the slippery slope. Hmm, let’s shift to cell phones, kids die texting while driving. The cell companies have NO disclaimers about that. Just tout the benfits of their product. Where’s your outrage on cell phones? Is that fair and balanced?

  • donnapd1 said:

    [..YouTube..] Joe Wilson was the only one with a pair to point out the LIE. Next on deck is amnesty for ILLEGAL criminals. We need to de-magnitize America. ILLEGALS are the cause of many ills, and one root reason for bankupted hospitals who pas the costs on to American citizens. Do some homework on this topic. Look up MRSA in the ER setting.

My source? My MOM.

  • BETTYPAGETWO said:

    [..YouTube..] Thank you Mr. Crawford. it is amazing to me that even when you read the bill word for word (which I have) people who have been brain washed still refuse to believe the truth. It reminds me of magicians. Do not look at what is in my right hand, only what is in the left. They really want you to look at the right hand, so you won’t look at the left. Tell anyone what is being quoted is right wing propaganda, & those same people, will rely on what is being said to them, not what is on paper.

  • Blancheben said:

  • wyoman100 said:

    [..YouTube..] The banking problems were at least partially caused by congressional attempts at social engineering. While some oversight is necessary, too much government can be worse than none. You are right that no one party has all the answers. What we need is more respectful discussion and less name calling and stereotyping.

  • donnapd1 said:

    [..YouTube..] Have you ever worked in a surgical center office? Medicare offers piddlins to docs and you mostly get generics. Need to research them, so may cause adverse events that send you to the ER. Private insurance create formularies and contract with Rx companies. Tier placement determines your co-pays. Why on God’s green earth would you want the gov’t to decide your care? Limit your options? It’s mind spinning.

  • donnapd1 said:

    [..YouTube..] I know plenty of Canadians. Some are here illegally. The care sucks from what they tell me. I know a girl from the UK who has cancer, very sad. She could get it for free but stayed here, enrolled in a trial and is doing great.

Soon we’ll have nothing else to give you while you send jobs overseas for cheaper workforce and greed. You’re destroying this country!!

  • wyoman100 said:

    [..YouTube..] Part of the reason is there is no need to practice defensive medicine in Mexico. Insurance costs are probably much less. Wages are lower and so on. I think everyone except trial lawyers would agree tort reform would help. And yes the insurance laws do need to be changed to allow a free market and force competition. Would those things fix everything? Probably not but after those changes had a couple of years to establish a new norm we would know better what to do next.

  • whitewolf60 said:

    [..YouTube..] donna…I believe in personal responsibility. How about you? And apparently, I’m not getting my points across. RE: cell phones. Imagine that you saw a commercial for a cell phone and decided that it might be of use. BUT YOU COULDN’T JUST GO OUT AND BUY ONE. You were required to go to someone WHO HAD NO IDEA THAT YOU MIGHT NEED A PHONE and inform THEM that it appeared useful, and then PAY THEM A FEE to receive PERMISSION to purchase the phone. THAT is analogous to the advertising of prescriptions

  • vgalea said:

    [..YouTube..] Typical scare tactics through reading off Repugnant party talking points.

  • donnapd1 said:

There is doc/patient dialogue. People are less afraid to talk to docs. I know. I have researched such insights. Not you. Besides, I am personally responsible.

  • rickietube1 said:

    [..YouTube..] This is a re-hash of the myths and scare tactics that are circulating today. Polls show that the majority of the people favor a public option. We pay considerably more than any other country, but are ranked 37th in health. Un-insured people can get medical care, in attempts to fix emergency problems. This is not to be confused with HEALTH CARE. Polls show that Medicare recipients are overall more satisfied with services than those with private insurance.

  • d2ditmars said:

  • d2ditmars said:

    [..YouTube..] Medicare IS horrible – I hope you never have to run the gamut of the stacks of forms you have to fill out to make sure that Medicare actually will pay your bills or a portion of them. And this man is correct that the uninsured can get health care at hospitals – for ANY problem and they do not have to pay if they cannot. It doesn’t matter how small.Medicare is TERRIBLE insurance, but it IS insurance. It’s all we old people can afford because health care costs are totally out of control.

  • bravado214 said:

    [..YouTube..] What hospitals are you talking about? While it is true that the uninsured can get medical care at hospitals, I don’t know of many that will take care of you for ANY problem without paying. Most of the time they’ll take you in if you are injured or sick. But preventative care? Not really. Not only that but if you’re a citizen then they will send you a bill. Whether you can pay for it or not is another matter. Bottom line: There is no free lunch. Someone pays whether it’s you or someone else.

  • therealBombenhagel said:

  • donnapd1 said:

    [..YouTube..] Yes. I agree. I want small gov’t less intrusion. But if you’re a high risk person (ie smoke, drink, do drugs etc) you should also pay a higher premimum for such behavior versus someone who is not (ie eat healthy, exercise, etc). So we agree on these levels. When folks ask hard workers to pay for everyone else who slacks off, then that is a problem. Today’s news says public option is off the table. We need tweaks to our system not to kill it and have greedy gov’t take over with 0 healthcare exp

    [..YouTube..] HOW naive—”THEY LIED,” they “PROMISED” a “trust fund.” Who in their right mind would willingly give 1 mil (??!!) to the Gov’t to secure a retirement income? Who would allow a so-called “free” people to be “forced” to pay into it? (Which by the way SS was originally supposed to be voluntary). SS and Medicare are outside the scope of the Constitution, and the GREATEST GENERATION ALLOWED it to happen. This continuation of the progressive movement is just putting the final nail in our coffin,.

  • drwooly said:

The insurance companies of course. With profit being the first priority. Health care is rationed right now. Why the gloom and doom. I know why but won’t post it here.

  • CalIdagirl said:

    [..YouTube..] Part II. There is most likely no person who has worked in a governmental agency that cannot tell you about mismanagement and misuse of resources. And there isn’t a month that goes by that some newspaper isn’t reporting about some bust for medicare fraud. At the same time, all of us can see what illegal immigration has done to our communities. So, tell me why these governmental agencies that are charged with addressing these issues cannot or will not clean it up? So, we add to this?

    [..YouTube..] They allowed it to happen just the same as you have allowed NAFTA to go through at a loss millions of jobs, the North American Treaty, gun control, the loss of habeas Corpus through Homeland Security, unauthorized wire taps, no win wars designed to bleed the American economy, etc. etc. We all need to get informed and change the people at the helm to those who actually protect and defend the Constitution. The feds have no authority from the Constitution to be involved in health care whatsoever.

  • CalIdagirl said:

    [..YouTube..] Cowboysfan782008. Thanks. You are very correct. The largest % of ppl w/o insurance within the alleged 47 million is the illegal immigrant community. They in fact are the largest consumers of our social/health/law enforcement agencies and why the bank is broken. What “they” are not telling us is that because they are undocumented, there is no way they can hold them responsible for the services that they use. Illegals are actually making more money being illegal. I will explain further…..

  • CalIdagirl said:

    [..YouTube..] I am retired from the “system” so, I know with what I speak. This isn’t crazy rhetoric here. There are two requirements to become eligible for welfare, 1. no income 2. a child in the home. Once a case is opened, the local Child Support Agency is charged with locating the non-custodial parent and seek child support and/or reimbursement of funds used to support this one adult/one child scenario. However, if that non-custodial person is undocumented then there is noway to find or gain monies.

  • CalIdagirl said:

    [..YouTube..] Conversely, an American citizen under the same scenario has a far different experience. He/she would be hounded to the end of days by every agency known to reimburse the State/Fed government. Haven’t you ever wondered how illegals are able to send billions of $ back to Mexico when they are supposedly working the scut jobs Americans won’t do? It’s easy when you understand that Public Assistance is supporting their children and Daddy is working under the table. It has bled us dry.

We need to define the problem, fix it and then consider remedial legislation based upon facts and not politics or lies.

    [..YouTube..] I know it all too well, and comparing that kind of immigration, to Ellis Isle in the early 1900’s, (Like ignorant libs like to do), is night and “F” in day. Those ppl wanted to be Americans. These ppl are just fine with bringing Tijuana with them. Better not say anything bad though, That Would Mean You Are Racist.

  • CalIdagirl said:

    [..YouTube..] cowboysfan782008. Problem is, we stopped funding this a long time ago. Have you heard of our trillion dollar loans we have from foreign governments? We are using loans to run these dysfunctional programs. These programs are NOT money making agencies. They are a drain on our money and that is why we don’t have any. Have you ever heard of a governmental agency that makes money? Me neither. Problem is, we have more people sucking of our government than those who are paying in.

  • bpwhistler said:

    [..YouTube..] @enkelin32 you need to do some research on economics. A Ponzi scheme by definition takes money from 1 “investor” to pay another “investor.” No money is actually made in the Ponzi. Thus it is doomed to fail. Insurance takes premiums and invests it in high yield vehicles. The claims are paid from the returns on the investment. If an insurance company makes a many bad investments, they are then unable to pay claims. They are definitely not Ponzi schemes.

  • fingergol said:

    [..YouTube..] I agree with Snowflake…There never was a good war or bad piece.

  • enkelin32 said:

    [..YouTube..] LOL I think it is YOU who needs to revisit econ 101. How do you think Bernie madoff bought those 20 million dollar condos in New York if NO money is made in Ponzi Schemes, Do you really think people risk Prison FOR NOTHING. Insurance companies are ponzi schemes no matter whether they invest in bonds or ETF’s they still take in present premiums (invested or not) and pay future claims. WHY the hell do you think their preimums always GO UP. Never down, If they only paid out of investment earni

  • enkelin32 said:

    [..YouTube..] And do you REALLY think Madoff had his ponzi money in a matress? It was all invested, THAT is how his scheme collapsed. Investments started taking losses. The difference between Madoff and Insurance companies is they are LEGAL ponzi schemes and when their investments lose they just RAISE THEIR PREMIUMS. Just wait until the costs start coming in for the baby boomers. YOUR premiums are projected to TRIPLE for your health insurance.

  • BlugrsRocs said:

    [..YouTube..] Ditto.

I will send you a personal message if that’s ok.

  • dilbertgeg said:

    [..YouTube..] Praise God indeed. But I read the same email rumor about “what is in this Health care plan”. I checked. It’s FALSE. He’s not reading the actual bill, hes reading a list someone made.check out Republican strategist Frank Luntz talking points to Repug leaders:the word rationing tests very well against the other healthcare buzzwords that frighten AmericansThey TESTED scary buzzwords in surveys.Luntz also coaches Repub leaders to say “human” things, attempt to display empathy.

  • dilbertgeg said:

    [..YouTube..] Listen Enkelin, You can say that Insurance is LIKE a Ponzi scheme, and that’s true in a sense. Both involve money pools.But a Ponzi scheme promises profits to EVERYONE.Insurance mitigates risk. Most people who buy health insurance LOSE MONEY by design. Only extremely sick or severely injured people ‘win’ in that game of insurance. I prefer not to ‘win’.obsession with Madoff? Is that really JEW-hating rant in disguise? Yes Bernie M is Jewish. Neil Bush at Silverado is not a Jew.

  • dilbertgeg said:

    [..YouTube..] Congress surely has a ‘Cadillac’ health plan w Naval hospitals etc, much better than Medicare or your private HMO or Insurer. This is nothing new.When Henry Kaiser created his HMO, main scheme was RATIONING health services. That’s how HC insurance makes a steep PROFIT. Denying treatment.THAT’S NOT COMMUNIST! It’s CAPITALIST to squeeze a profit off sick people.Sadly, Obama’s plan seems to be a huge GIFT to private insur. It may contain some aspects of Medicare-for-all, but limited.

  • dilbertgeg said:

    [..YouTube..] Sadly, this “anti-communist” guy is claiming a RIGHT to public health care.Repubs say NOBODY has any RIGHT to HEALTH CARE TREATMENT, and ppl who disagree are socialists.Michelle Bachmann and Ron Paul discuss that on YT.I believe Seniors SHOULD have Medicare, even if it is socialism. I would add everyone on.I believe WE do have a right to tell our leaders to fix what’s broken – health insurance system -even if some people say that’s socialism to interfere with CIGNA etc

  • JRFrogman said:

Our leaders should be part of we the people.

  • gdfabro said:

I have worked for decades & am concerned that I get proper medical treatment. I know the insurance companies are less interested in my health than the president. Nothing but scare tactics have brought this ignorant man to the place he is today. He speaks the fringe right talking points.

    [..YouTube..] I replied to you a few days ago, and it seems someone deleted my Comment. How strange. I told you I was a Healthcare professional, and I can assure you, you will not be left to die.

But our current system is definitely NOT working. We do need a change. Ins companies are too rich and powerful. Money buys better care. Not ethical.

  • gdfabro said:

  • gdfabro said:

    [..YouTube..] I have no doubt that Obama knows just a little bit more about the bill he’s trying to get passed than this man. This man speaks his opinion and I hear lots of right wing talking points that are based on lies and scare tactics. I don’t follow anyone blindly. But I see that this poor old man does as it appears you do to. And your name says it all. Maybe you should change it to WILLFULLIGNORANCE.

  • doncalley said:

  • BigChill19 said:

    [..YouTube..] Great idea, except when was the last time you saw a “real citizen” run for office? And if he or she did, the American public would definitely NOT vote for him/her.

  • toothdoc32 said:

    [..YouTube..] I doubt if he knows any more. Anyone trying to increase the demand (50,000,000 more people) without a plan for increasing the supply ( where will the extra Drs. and nurses come from), is irresponsible at best. I’m in the medical field and the ins. may become cheaper, but the care won’t be better. Unless you don’t mind waiting a few more months for an appt. He can’t make us participate (I don’t have to accept a govt run plan). Many will just close their practice to new patients.

  • suddenlysenior said:

    [..YouTube..] This issue is not about heath care, yours or anyone elses. It’s about control. No doubt Obama is intelligent, but the issue is not his intelligence, its his character. So far Obama is spending way too much, he has leftest leanings (as evidenced by his Qzars, ACORN, etc.), and his plans for the future are downright scary, e.g. private army. I hope your right. I really do, but I think he’s another Hugo Chavez in the making.

  • xiouxee said:

    [..YouTube..] gdfabro,I went to the House of Representatives’ website and found the most recent draft of the bill. I couldn’t find the language in that bill that this man refers to. I suggest that you go there and read the bill rather than having faith in a politician. Even though you say that you don’t follow anybody blindly, it sounds like you do. Also, when someone criticizes Obama, why do you immediately criticize Bush? Why not answer the question at hand?

  • xiouxee said:

    [..YouTube..] lindarobets,You should go to the House of Representatives’ website and look through the bill. The language that this man reads is not in that bill. I absolutely do not support this bill, but think that we need to be informed rather than engage in debate armed with falsehoods.

What he says is only backed up by fringe elements of the right. Look at the post above yours. It’s really sad that people believe this garbage. I bring up Bush because of the hypocrisy. Where was all the outrage when that man was blatantly lying to the country to promote a war? An immeasurable immoral act.

  • gdfabro said:

    [..YouTube..] So suddenly it’s not about healthcare? The character you speak of was fabricated by the conservatives. Why can’t you see that? Obama has done nothing to prove some of the ridiculous statements you make. “Downright scary and leftist?” If anything he’s done nothing but cave to the right since day one. We can’t even get a public option in healthcare because of the conservatives. Ironically statistics show the majority of Americans, including myself, desperately want one. Hugo Chavez? Ridiculous!

  • alonzohosford said:

The plaintiff went to Kenya and obtained a certified copy of the original birth certificate. If this turns out to be true, it gives us one more reason for hope in 2010…

  • 4everconservative said:

    [..YouTube..] YOU DO NOT SPEAK FOR ME – statistics DO NOT show “the majority of Americans desperately want one” – the opposite is in fact true. 85% of Americans are happy with their insurance. 19% of those without insurance make over $70,000 a year, & could buy it if they wanted to. 12 million are ILLEGAL and should be purged from the US, not catered to at our expense. Create a fund to cover the true unfortunates, and leave the rest of us ALONE!. This is about controlling us-nothing else. It is not sudden.

    [..YouTube..] You Lie!Despite what he claims, this old clown is not reading from any health care bill. He’s reading Republican talking points.

We don’t need no socialized medicine in Amurka”

  • batfly said:

    [..YouTube..] What is sick here is the fact that this gentleman’s generation and his parents’s generation allowed such evil things like Social security and Income tax to be established without fighting against it.So now it has come down to the grandchildren of these previous generations to clean up this mess. So be it…”The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” –Thomas Jefferson

  • cowboysfan782008 said:

    [..YouTube..] batfly: Are you really that stupid? Income tax pay’s for just about everything we need for our entire infrastructure, and Social Security is/was a good idea, to force savings.

Not to mention “Personal Accountability”

  • maxitec said:

    [..YouTube..] There are so many variations of the HC Plan no one knows what will be voted on. Medicare needs no HC Plan to be changed. The plan will allow our gov’t to go into your bank accounts electronically and take out whatever they deem they want, (not just need). Our current admin is about control and enslavement over everyone. The HC Plan is just a cover-up in disguise as something good. It’s mostly about taking your freedom, your liberty away.

    [..YouTube..] Even if one of the things you state are true (and I have seen plenty of the medical system here in the US, and NONE of the above), why don’t you check out Canada’s universal system, which will be broke in November, and will cut off all healthcare until the new fiscal year beginning January 2010. That would be a great system – I think we should go for it!

  • gdfabro said:

    [..YouTube..] Just as YOU don’t speak for me or the majority of Americans. Why don’t you leave us alone. If we want to see everyone covered and YOU don’t want to be part of it then STAY OUT OF IT. YOU can continue to make health care executives rich if that’s your pleasure. The majority of Americans, YOU not included, would rather be secure in knowing that they don’t have to worry about being covered for health related issues when the time comes. Under the plan proposed by Obama YOU can do whatever you want.

  • gdfabro said:

    [..YouTube..] Actually, I didn’t know that either, thank you. Unfortunately, it means nothing. The number of copies you make and mail and who you mail it too doesn’t make it true. This video is full of myths, lies, opinion and distortion and lacks facts ad substance. And as far as I see int he latest statistics, kingers36 represents the majority of Americans, and just my opinion, but I would say the majority of civilized human beings.

  • CalIdagirl said:

    [..YouTube..] It might mean nothing to you, but I think whenever someone regardless of their position takes the time and money to do what he did SPEAKS ALOT! I am sure you are a great judge regarding myths, lies, opinion, distortion, lacks facts and substance. Look in the mirror. Perhaps when you wake up from your slumber, you’ll understand what civilized means. Until then, go back to your thumb sucking.

  • itisichief131 said:

    [..YouTube..] So was that opinion or distortion when he was quoting directly from the bill? You go get ‘em gramps, you deserve more respect than that….and we should all get behind him. I think the majority of civilized human beings would say YOU ROCK!

  • gdfabro said:

    [..YouTube..] It seems that the loving “Christian” right pretty much wish you good luck in the types of situations you state above.They believe in survival of the fittest in this case unless we’re talking about Darwin of course.Conservatives think something or someone will pop up and save you or take care of you if you’re in one of these situations.Actually, Jesus himself may save you if you can’t afford healthcare. And by the way, I’m conservative and a Christian, but I’m not ignorant. So what’s left? Pray!

  • 4everconservative said:

    [..YouTube..] Obama is an expert? You are out of your mind. As for responding to my comment to STAY OUT OF IT if I don’t want to cover everyone – I CAN’T. I will be put in jail and/or fined $25,000. if I fail to purchase health care insurance. YOU stay out of MY walltet.

  • 4everconservative said:

    [..YouTube..] Here you go again, with the “majority of Americans” – you are exactly WRONG. Check the statistics instead of spouting your liberal “whatever I say goes”. Your emotions rule you, don’t they? Under the plan proposed by Obama, the government can have instant access to everyone’s bank accounts, so that they can collect what they deem fair payment. Fines and jail terms, and this is America? Move to Venezuela – they have “everyone covered”.

  • 1950red said:

    [..YouTube..] How about everyone paying their fair share. The top 25% pay less then the rest of the population due to all the loophles in the tax codes. How about a flat 20% across the board.

  • cowboysfan782008 said:

    [..YouTube..] batfly: You still are not saying anything, or responding to what I had said. How is it Crawfords generation & his parents generations fault? Why was the idea of SS bad? Personally, I know a lot of ppl from Crawfords generation, and they are all “Stand-Up” guy’s. IMO That generations “work ethic”, is something many ppl could learn from today!

  • silverfoxidm said:

    [..YouTube..] He is absolutely correct. Some of you haven’t lived long enough to figure out what one House is versus another. Some of us know very well the Constitution and we know the fallacies of government and why our Founding Fathers put a Bill of Rights to constrain government. Where do you think our Founding Fathers came from? You ever thought of that people who are replying here. Think about it.! Out of their sacrifice and experience they learned how to control gvmnt not the other way around.

  • batfly said:

    [..YouTube..] Why was the idea of SS bad?OK…Well how about we use Government run health care as an analogy… I don’t have enough space here to explaining it to you…So I will cut to the core…Anytime power is centralized, people lose liberty… Income Tax, SS tax. medicare tax are all power centralization schemes. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.No matter which angle you look at it, no matter how you swing it … it’s all a play for power.

Now they just dropped Blue Cross …too expensive; you have the remaining options. If a Public Option takes over … businesses will go to the cheapest one … it is to their interest. So .. us old people are right … sooner or later all will be on Public Option. With Kaiser .. I do not have a choice anymore of Doctor .. they are booked! I only take what is left.

  • xiouxee said:

    [..YouTube..] republicanhunk,I don’t know what your definition of splitting hairs is(maybe I am). The language that the man “quotes” does not exist. He says “Page 241. All drs. will be paid equally with no regard to specialties of training required. The bill does not say that. It refers to fee schedules in several places, which might mean the same thing. I find the idea of the govt. dictating fee schedules to anybody alarming, but we should argue with facts; not believe what somebody says is in there.

  • xiouxee said:

    [..YouTube..] He says “Page 239, will reduce physicians’ services for medicaid, thereby rationing medical support for the poor.” It’s rather naive of anybody to believe that the bill would use that phrase. Medicaid is mentioned over 100 times in the bill. It looks like they’re trying to spell out who on Medicaid might have to pay less and who qualifies. We have a lot of damning info about this bill and, in general, the collectivist agenda. Let’s just try to get our facts straight so that we can win.

  • MusicDevas said:

    [..YouTube..] It should be very clear by now that the current administration is made up of socialists/marxists intent on changing this country. All of them, following their leader has stated so–that they intend to change the country. If the American citizens fail to pay attention and vote, this country will never be the home of the brave and free again. The health bill is like the camel’s nose sliding beneath the tent.

  • chilingzzz said:

    [..YouTube..] Next time… PLEASE! whoever made this video, please have this guy read the bits and pieces of this bill in the beginning!!! It will catch the attention of everyone who watches!! People walk around thinkn all of these FACTS are just simply made up! But if you point out from the beginning, where it is exactly in this bill like he just did, they will want to hear more!!!

  • cjmaso said:

    [..YouTube..] This guy is reading from one of the false documents that has been circulating the internet inciting fears in seniors. He’s not reading the actual bill. Obama’s goal IS to provide the same kind of healthcare that congress is getting. Read credible sources … people who are held accountable and can be sued for misinformation. Don’t listen to one private citizen who doesn’t know the facts. He’s entitled to his opinion but he is NOT reading the actual bill.

  • AtlasShruggery said:

  • plantsin said:

  • 04141948 said:

    [..YouTube..] He is correct in the fact that the Government is trying to take away what freedoms we have left. It surprises me that more people can see what’s going on. I would like to make a prediction. There will be a civil war in this country in the near future if the government continues on the same path it’s on right now. I hope I live long enough to see it take place. What our contry needs is God. We have taken him out of our schools and government and more especially out of our hearts. God help us !

  • PaintZar said:

    [..YouTube..] He’s right. The only thing he left out saying to the Obama, Palosi, Reid crowd was YOU LIE! Thank you Joe Wilson!

  • 1morricone1 said:

    [..YouTube..] Shame on HIM for using the term “we” when he is simply parroting misinformation. . The entire world believes that healthcare, like fire and police departments do not belong with the private sector for profit but is a basic public right. But not us. Enough is enough. Just ask yourself how many you know that have had major heathcare problems and ask yourself this, if you were not TOLD the government was to blame, who would you blame? Logic eventually wins out over propaganda.

  • 9teddyyaz8 said:

    [..YouTube..] Obamas overall plan is scary is his healthcare program, because if you make it FREE and add 46,000,000 people to a Medicare-type single-payer system, the costs will go through the roof. The only way to control costs is with massive RATIONING of services, like in Canada. God forbid!

  • bravado214 said:

    [..YouTube..] Problem is that the “facts” Mr. Crawford is talking about are “just simply made up”. What he is reading is NOT the bill but a distorted context of what other think the bill says. Besides, the HR 3200 is just one bill and is practically irrelevant considering the latest debates and votes in Congress. (Full rebuttal at steamd(.)net)

  • bravado214 said:

    [..YouTube..] To those who are against health care reform, ask yourself the following question: Would it be alright with you if your local police and fire departments were privatized? What if your house caught on fire? Would you be ok with the fire department handing you a $3000 bill for their service? How about the police handing you a $5000 bill for running a stop sign? Sounds crazy but that is what privatized health care has come to: outrageous bills due to total mismanagement and greed. (steamd(.)net)

  • 9teddyyaz8 said:

    [..YouTube..] Why is there no discussion of what the current HC system does right? The majority of the current system is the best in the world!! Why are we throwing out the entire program to fix it. Libs think they are smarter than everyone else and they need to take all your money and decide how much you should have as they can spend the rest better than you. They believe that they need to pass laws to keep you from doing thing that they dont like but then exclude themselves from those law.

  • bravado214 said:

    [..YouTube..] Obama’s plan isn’t about a Medicare-type single-payer system. The only way to do that would be to get rid of the insurance companies, which ain’t gonna happen any time soon. The public option he is talking about is still based on people having insurance through a health care provider, thus it isn’t a single-payer system but rather a hybrid. Only those who can’t afford it will be subsidized. (Rebuttal at steamd(.).net)

  • artwizzerd said:

    [..YouTube..] this guy isn’t poor or he wouldnt have had over 1000 bucks to send off videos.he has never had to worry about work or healthcare, as he has worked for his father his whole life, and no doubt now owns that company. I am 60, worked my whole life, and still dont have healthcare.I wasnt born rich.

  • 99999Ken said:

    [..YouTube..] I am sure this guy is well meaning and sincere. But I am just as sure that this video would not fair well in unbiased fact checking. I guess I missed the news about Medicare being mismanaged. It works for me. He and others like him really need health care reform and are running it down for some political reason.

  • akentut said:

    [..YouTube..] Stop for a moment, and read the constitution. They should not be in the business of providing health coverage. It is a right, NOT a law. Just as the government shouldn’t be in the car business, or the mortgage business, or the banking business. Think about it, what is left for you, free speech is about it. You no longer can pray, use the word of God, erect a cross to commemorate a WWI vet, or recieve bonuses without the goverenment stepping in and telling you NO. Welcome to socialism.

  • ChinoAlfonz said:

    [..YouTube..] Obviously he didn’t read the actual bill, he got a hold of the Fox News version of the bill.

  • iambuggy said:

    [..YouTube..] akentut… WELL SAID! You are 100% correct! People are so confused as to what they think they are ENTITLED to. They are priveleges, not RIGHTS!

  • mesohandsome said:

    [..YouTube..] So you are 60 years old and have never had health insurance. AND, you assume you have to be born rich to have health insurance. You sir, have wasted your entire life not accessing the oportunities living in this country provides. I’m guessing you’ve spent your life watching the successes of others around you and have alway made an excuse why you have had none. Now you want the goverment to steal MY money and give it to you. PUT DOWN THAT JOINT and grow up you loser.

  • bravado214 said:

    [..YouTube..] And with that, cue the fear music and the fear font with the word “SOCIALISM” in big, scary letters. “OMG! The government is coming to take everything away from me! Run to the hills!” Sorry, but I doubt that’ll happen. This isn’t the movies. It isn’t “V for Vendetta”. But, you’re right, health coverage is a right. But that still doesn’t give companies the right to charge an arm and a leg just so I can exercise that right. A little gov’t intervention is ok. (Full rebuttal at steamd(.)net)

  • bravado214 said:

    [..YouTube..] Do you have any idea how much health insurance costs for someone who is 60 years old? A comprehensive PPO plan with 80% coverage and a $2500 deductible through BCBS in Texas costs around $500 a month. That may not sound like a whole lot but for someone who makes less than $50,000 per year, that’s unaffordable. So, yeah, you kind of have to actually have money to be able to afford insurance. That’s just common sense. (Full rebuttal at steamd(.)net)

  • CJinPV said:

    [..YouTube..] He is on the money and yes, he did read the actual bill with excerpts given verbatim. Mark 1:00 to 2:00 explains the crux of the problem: Until the very people who are responsible for this bill are vested in it personally, they will not have our best interest in mind when they cast their votes. They enjoy golden parachutes for life after their tenure, and do not worry about a national health care system that will never affect them or their family.

  • frei1furimmer said:

    [..YouTube..] bravado….Ha ha ha, you’re a funny guy. Socialism is a scary idea, at least to those who know what it means, which you apparently don’t. You are correct, however, this isn’t the movies. When the government begins telling you how to live your life and what procedures you will not be given, I’m sure the realization might smack you in the face. You’re not talking about “a little government”, try 16% or more of the rest of the economy.

    [..YouTube..] That’s the reason I’m going to retire to another country. Is the same reson there are 200,000 Americans moveing out each year. The government is not telling anyone that.

  • frei1furimmer said:

    [..YouTube..] Furthermore, since when is health coverage a right? Let me know where you dig up that fallacy. So, you have the right to steal from me, to pay for your health insurance, because you won’t give up internet, cell phones, cable T.V.? Er…NO. I don’t think so. This gentleman is absolutely right. This government is insanely unconstitutional, and congress is shamefully incompetent. These bozos run the same offices that always run in the red, and you want them running health care?

  • bravado214 said:

    [..YouTube..] Umm…I do know what socialism is. Hate to break it to you but insurance companies are already telling us how to live our lives and what procedures we get. I have a $1,200 bill sitting on my desk because my health insurance wouldn’t pay for something my doctor prescribed to me. In other words, my doctor felt I needed it but my insurance company didn’t. Who’s right? So, yeah, I’d say insurance companies already run our lives, don’t you? (Full rebuttal at steamd(.)net)

  • bravado214 said:

    [..YouTube..] All I’m saying is that a bunch of people are throwing out the idea that this is a “socialist” idea and that’s a “socialist” idea and that “socialism” is evil and it means that the “government will take over everything and tell you what to do”. Funny how folks always confuse “socialism” with “communism”. Sure, they’re alike in some ways but they’re still two different ideologies. So, tell me, what’s the alternative to continuing to allow insurance companies to extort the American people?

  • bravado214 said:

    [..YouTube..] Tell you what, go outside and get into a serious accident that severely disables you and requires you to get a bunch of medical procedures. Do that then come back and tell me what happens. Chances are you’ll end up having to quit your job if they don’t lay you off first, your health insurance will lapse, and then you’ll have to file bankruptcy due to all the medical bills you can’t pay. But, hey, health coverage is a privilege, right? You should be able to pay those bills yourself, right?

  • dilbertgeg said:

    [..YouTube..] raddman, Insurance is like a TAX that goes to private, not public, so is INTEREST with private banks.Original idea of capitalism was an EGALITARIAN society with wealth distribution from labor, good pay jobs, and small biz.Today, big profit is made by wiping out jobs, using casual labor camps under military guard, grabbing US pensions, and short-term financial speculation.That’s our New Economy, high tech version of robber-baron 1800s when people were NOTHING but tools.

Then turn around and gripe about taxes.SMALL biz HAS a justifed complaint.”Competition is a Sin” who said it?

    [..YouTube..] dilbertgeg,No i do not want to work for $2 or $51 a month ! I agree with you that big business owns big government! The two should never come together yet they have and that is destroying this country! We are being misled and misdirected !

  • raddmannie said:

    [..YouTube..] dilbertgeg,Rockefeller said that!! as for the rest i couldn’t agree more! greed is powerful !

  • dilbertgeg said:

    [..YouTube..] radd, I just foundCONTINGENT CORPORATE GOVERNANCE: A REFLECTION ON GLOBAL FRAUDand Interlocking Ownership Among Major Banks but I was looking for 1977 Senate report that some 5-10 people had much control over 25% of US econ, and some 100 controlled over 50%. Interlocking Directorates. Might be exagg, but close.Almost unknown. Access for $35. I only read intro.Philosophy of free market was Egalitarian and inexpensive due to competition vs mercantilism by King. Now?

  • dilbertgeg said:

    [..YouTube..] one would think Marx said itHuman greed is merely powerful sin, but limitedCorporations, as evolved today, are by definition IN-human institutions created in Law as financial machine w sole robotic function of accumulation, but defined in Law as godly PERSONS entitled to Bill of Rights and Equal Protection.De facto, more rights-power than individuals.Corp owners escaped States’ control in old days by lawsuits, fed judges, lobbying, bribery.Colbert clip on that is great.

  • bobbarker419 said:

    [..YouTube..] you are a sad, sad person.

  • bobbarker419 said:

    [..YouTube..] And you know this how? Have you read the bill?

  • AtlasShruggery said:

    [..YouTube..] Yes. And you can, too. Just google it.

  • ROlshansky said:

    [..YouTube..] I read the bill. This man is accurate. I think those you comment otherwise haven’t read the bill. They also are not senior citizens. Why turn his comments into partisanship? Just listen and there’s no need to put him down for speaking from his hear.

  • 4everconservative said:

    [..YouTube..] God bless you and your family, Wyoman100. My father was in the military for 29 years, so I know what the sacrifice and privilege is all about. The people who think that gov’t is there to provide for them do not GET IT, the gov’t’s job is to protect the nation from adversaries (not unborn babies). Government controlling our health care is a sure path to the demise of our nation. If this abomination passes, we’ll be able to say I told you so, but the cost for that will be horrific.

  • 4everconservative said:

    [..YouTube..] Obama shouldn’t be pushing for anything health care, as it is unconstitutional. End of story. For the record, I love a good buffet, especially ones with a great salad bar. That has zero to do with ME having to pay for illegals, &millions who DON”T WANT coverage-that’s why they don’t pay for it, even tho they can afford it. It’s our freedom to choose where we want to spend our money, & when the govttells us we will go to jail if we don’t purchase a particular thing, they’re beyond tyrannical

  • richnorm said:

    [..YouTube..] Great Job, and thank you for doing it. I just hope a few of the “officials” you sent it to actually watch it. These bills are changing day by day, but unless folks like this stand up and say STOP, then this whole deal is going to be a serious disaster for this country! Stop the whole thing NOW. Or at least, read the damn thing before you vote for it!

  • JaneHubris said:

  • rballew30 said:

    [..YouTube..] Well, I learned to read in America where I was born. I got a lot better at it in college, where I spent 4 years getting my Bachelor Of Science degree in Education. I have the bill on a separate page of my laptop, and I promise you that nothing he says corresponds to anything in HR 3200. Nothing. You won`t believe me, and I don`t care. I have seen your type so many times on this site. Closed minds and bigoted hearts. Sad. Just sad…

  • rballew30 said:

    [..YouTube..] dilbertgeg, right completely on, brother. They don`t care. They are just bitter people because they are the old, and we are the new.

  • Itisatruthliesbattle said:

    [..YouTube..] This man can not seriously think what he is saying is the truth. He has had to be paid by the insurance companies to do this video. However, I do think there are, unfortunately, people out there that are very ignorant and believe the propaganda presented by insurance companies so the insurance companies can continue discriminating and making huge profits. Buying insurance today is like playing Russian rouletteInsurance is getting rich while Americans are dying47000, a year no healthcare

  • rballew30 said:

    [..YouTube..] That`s right, Itsa…, Look at the video closely. They picked a senior, who says he`s an orphan, who looks a little befuddled that the evil government is going to take his life savings and give it to “illegals”. Pushes all the right emotional buttons to scare seniors with their one true fear, their health. As someone who is 52, I can dig it. But, I have HR3200 right in front of me, and nothing he says matches what`s in there. It`s a paid infomercial by the ins.cos. Sorry, folks. Not the truth.

  • donalr11 said:

    [..YouTube..] Hey, new idea for everyone of the cry babies out there GET A JOB! Quit waiting on the lawyers in Washington to take care of your families. If the lawyers would get out of the hospitals you would find healthcare more affordable. In Texas we’re doing alright without all their handouts. Cowboy UP America! Do we really need these self serving politicians to tell us what’s good for us? Let’s vote them all out in 2010 for these idiots couldn’t run a taco stand,

  • BringItOnOrGoHome said:

    [..YouTube..] If the controversial health care bill is so well written and so beneficial for all people…why then does the Federal Government not want to post it on a web site for any and all Americans to be able to scrutinize it; deciding for themselves whether they want it or not? Should it not be the responsibility of our politicians to vote in our best interests, only after they have read that to which they decide to put their name on so that they may make an informed and wise decision?

  • BringItOnOrGoHome said:

    [..YouTube..] Regardless of your stance on this bill, what has the government ever run efficiently and within a budget without adding needless layers of bureaucracy or red tape???

    [..YouTube..] I’m on Medicare due to disability. This man doesn’t know what he is talking about.Sorry, I’m tired of the idiots having the microphone and this guy is one.Death Panels – such Palin BS. Come on. Are there Americans out there that are really this ignorant out there?Obviously yes and they probably watch FAUX Noise….

  • wyoman100 said:

    [..YouTube..] bring, you won’t get an answer on that one. If you get a reply it will be insults and BS. Government control proponents have a dream and that is all it is. No reality and no concept of the real world.

  • rballew30 said:

    [..YouTube..] Oh yes, the last week on this site has proven that to me and a lot of people. Thank you for being so perceptive.

  • rballew30 said:

    [..YouTube..] Well, it`s difficult to “prove” a negative. For example, there is absolutely zero mention of “death panels” on the page he mentions. In fact, nothing he says corresponds to what is actually in the proposed bill. I could post what is in there, but it would take a lot of 500-word “comments.” Best bet? Go to steamd(.), written by an intelligent man (not me, bravado214) with no agenda other than getting the truth about HR3200 out there. See what you think, and then come on back.

  • kuyaneal said:

    [..YouTube..] Amen! To those of you who think he cannot be telling the truth I ask, have YOU read the bill? Or are you like the many who just accept blindly what you are told by your elected officials and the media?Didn’t John Conyers say it would take a team of lawyers just to read the bill? Why do they make it so hard for us average people to read? Maybe so we would give up before coming to grips with the reality of what they are doing.Wake up people, we are being betrayed.

  • donnapd1 said:

    [..YouTube..] rballew30. How can anyone take anything you say seriously when your profile says “I get high, watch excellent 80`s videos and play my XBOX 360 as much as possible. I welcome intelligent people and can`t stand haters.” You’re a classic self-hater. Get high to escape and quiet the pain of regrets. You’re 52 and still smoking doobies? Not intelligent. How’s that for deductive reasoning? You obviously don’t know science and you have no experience in the healthcare field.

  • donnapd1 said:

    [..YouTube..] rballew30-or is that blowhard30? It’s quite sad and creepy to know that people like you really exist. But hey, Holloween is just around the corner and you can go dressed as yourself…a pot-smoking, flag burning, anti-American, thug wrapped in a tie-dyed shirt, bell-bottom pants.. 52 and still dumb

  • dorraine420 said:

    [..YouTube..] Amen!!! He quoted directly from the bill. He is correct. I will listen to the healthcare reform when the ones who create it use the same system they want us to use.

  • rballew30 said:

    [..YouTube..] I`m not escaping anything, I enjoy it. I never said I had exp. in HC, but I know how to read. Do you? Then go to steamd(.) I dare you. Until then, nothing you say matters. BTW, I`ve noticed the terms people use to deride other people are the ones that apply to them. Hit a nerve? Thought so.

  • rballew30 said:

    [..YouTube..] Will you please go back to the Bronx, or wherever you`re from? You`re polluting Texas with your self-hatred and bitterness. I`m proud to be an American, and proud of the flag. Never wore tie-dyes, gave up bell-bottoms years ago. Anything else, you hateful bitch?

  • donnapd1 said:

    [..YouTube..] rballew30 your comments are getting incomprehensible. Are you high again? I am in the healthcare field and know more than your self-promoted site. I review clinical evidenced-based medicine and interact with formulary decision makers at the healthplan level. Healthcare is complex. But ILLEGAL immigration and TORT reform, root causes for the escalating costs of care, are off the table. ILLEGAL immigration must be stopped. We must de-magnitize America first. Otherwise the DEMs “reform” is a joke.

  • rballew30 said:

    [..YouTube..] Way to completely avoid the issue. Loser.

  • donnapd1 said:

    [..YouTube..] rballew30. Please stop embarrassing TX. Your state came out in BIG numbers on the 9/12 march. I love TX but who said I live in TX? Again, your data are flawed. I’m not bitter. I’m better now that BO lost the Olympic bid and his corrupt cronies are eating crow! The sign of a failing imposter. Folks are SICK of his arrogrance, stupidity, and desire to do harm to America. That’s the only thing transparent abou this administration. BTW, I get high on running, working out, eat well, and stay clean.

  • carolinatribe said:

    [..YouTube..] Hallelujah!

  • rballew30 said:

    [..YouTube..] Uh, you said you did. Are YOU high? Enough, better things to do than bother with a Yankee fool.

  • donnapd1 said:

    [..YouTube..] You could say I am “high” as I am still on a cloud about the fall of the “messiah” with the Olympic games. rballew30, you prove my point about the LIBs. They can dish it out but can’t take it. Throw nasty names around, use profanity, and call folks “RACISTs” and hateful. But you in fact, are the hateful one. You hate “yankees”–and women. Well, many hate the baseball team as they are “winners”, clean cut, all-American looking team and don’t look like slobs. Dittos dude and stay out of my inbox.

  • frei1furimmer said:

    [..YouTube..] That’s a brilliant idea, I’ll make it a point to do that…thanks for giving everyone insight into your thinking. Health coverage is no more a privilege than it is a right. The fact that I work to pay health insurance premiums eludes you? The health insurance industry is not perfect, no one believes that, but to say we need changes like the “public option” is ridiculous. If they are so concerned, let tort reform and competition pave the way.

  • frei1furimmer said:

    [..YouTube..] So, you’re suggesting a federal administration would be less corrupt, more effective, and more willing to pay for procedures your doctor recommends? Wait…sorry…I almost died laughing. Talk to doctors and patients over the borders, see how far you get with that load of B.S. I suggest you start making payments on that 1.2K bill, and thank God you got the treatment and some board of government suits didn’t decide you can’t have the treatment….

  • gdfabro said:

    [..YouTube..] Their expense and effort mean nothing to someone who is actually informed. Besides your defense of their efforts is weak. People spend lots of time, effort and expense murdering people – that doesn’t justify it. So in that sense if I’m sucking my thumb your conception is forthcoming. And I know what civilized means. I also realize that means I can’t communicate with someone like you. Thanks anyhow!

  • chetsmomful said:

    [..YouTube..] I agree with everything you said!!! My husband and I pray everyday for our country. We need to clean house in Washington! We have been like sheep, trusting our government- just like the Jews did under Pharoh, and look what happened then.

  • rballew30 said:

    [..YouTube..] Right on, brother!

  • bravado214 said:

    [..YouTube..] Search on Google for “Roosevelt Economic Bill of Rights”. Roosevelt gave this speech in 1944, rights he wanted to add to the Bill of Rights to ensure more security in our country: a job with a living wage, freedom from unfair competition and monopolies, a home, medical care, education, recreation. Funny how all of these are a problem today. Why? Corporate greed and failed capitalism. A little gov’t involvement isn’t a bad thing. It creates boundaries and limitations where there are none.

  • bravado214 said:

    [..YouTube..] So, in other words, you trust a private insurance company more than the gov’t when it comes to deciding whether or not you can get the bypass surgery that will save your life? Problem with your argument is that no one in Congress is talking about passing legislation that will allow “gov’t suits” to decide what you and your doctor do. That’s ridiculous. (Full rebuttal at steamd(.)net)

  • bravado214 said:

    [..YouTube..] Do me a favor: Before you continue insisting that health care reform equals socialism/communism, go do a search for “Roosevelt Economic Bill of Rights”. Most people don’t know about this. I didn’t. Go look it up and read it. Then go watch the new Michael Moore movie “Capitalism: A Love Story”. You may not agree with it all, but it will open your eyes to many things about capitalism in this nation. Do that then come back and chat (Full rebuttal at steamd(.)net)

  • rballew30 said:

    [..YouTube..] This man is a paid shill for the ins.cos. Go to steamd(.) for the truth. It`s free, why not?

  • wyoman100 said:

    [..YouTube..] donna, I noticed some of your recent discussion and the rants you got from rb when I checked to see if anyone was still beating the dead horse of HB3200. It is not going to be brought up in the senate so that will hopefully be all for the government take over. As to rb, I think he is just trying to give Texas a bad name. He certainly does not speak for the majority of the residents of that state. The sad thing is i don’t think he has enough lucid moments to realize that.

  • jagater said:

    [..YouTube..] They think of themselves as “above’ us, and their pockets are lined with money from special interests and big pharma. We speak of corruption in those middle-east crap holes. We swin in it. I want some congressman, any one of them to go on national TV and say, “I reject what is going on in Washington, and will not have any part of what is going on except to vote NO on anything that comes before my house. Show some guts, and maybe get re-elected!

  • jagater said:

    [..YouTube..] You can believe the lies coming out of Washington if you wish. You can believe you are a jackass, and I will defend your right to believe it. Just name me one good thing that has come out of this administration that benefits the people. These liberial idiots have been patiently waiting for years to throw all this crap on the books, and it can now be done, because they have the votes. Had enough yet?

  • LadiLib3rti said:

    [..YouTube..] “The land of opportunity” does NOT include robbing the majority of their basic freedoms. Politicians should NOT be exempt from the same laws as its people. They MUST live as its majority lives, to excercise the laws their collegues create in all fairness. They will continue to get the same paycheck until their death. The majority will NOT. Who took a paycut during this financial crunch? Who refused a cost of living raise? Who turned away a perk? THEY didn’t.

  • raddmannie said:

    [..YouTube..] i have read the Roosevelt Bill real nice in theory! All those things, job. living wage,competition and so on…today you have opportunity to have all those things only difference is you have to work for them yourself ! If the Government did take care of us who decides what type of home you have how much you should make,and what makes you happy ! Also Stop being misdirected corruption is in the Government as well as some key company’s, but its not capitalism fault! ..

  • raddmannie said:

    [..YouTube..] As far as Michael Moore i wouldn’t pay a dime, so unless it’s given to me for free i won’t be watching his move!,, He has what he has because of capitalism ! I know a lot about whats going on with Goldman and Sacs and the rest of the company’s he talks about ! Its not Capitalism fault!!!!!!I would be happy to chat anytime!

  • imapoliticalgirl said:

    [..YouTube..] Do you really want a public option, run by politicians and bureaucrats? Look at the House and Senate bills. Secretary of HHS plus staff have a lot of power that will decide what you will and wont get. The Secretary will have all sorts of power, access to your medical records. What are you going to do when the GOP is in charge of the White House? (You dont really believe they Republicans will never win again, do you?) Do you want a Karl Rove or Dick Cheney-type controlling your healthcare?

  • muleywatcher said:

  • cherylbean76109 said:

    [..YouTube..] You don’t have to be a senior citizen to strongly object to this bill. It is a disgrace to our great nation. European countries that have this kind of healthcare, pay 70% individual tax rates and come to the U.S. to get the health care treatments that they need (if they can afford to) because it is available on a timely manner in their own country. This includes citizens that are NOT senior citizens. This is horrendous and full of lies and misconceptions.

  • wyoman100 said:

  • rballew30 said:

    [..YouTube..] Exactly,my friend. If I may call you that. You know, I`ve read science-fiction all my life, and I thought, no, I hoped, the human race would be over ourselves when we met them. Now, I think it will never happen. We can`t get over our blind ambitions and foolish posturing. Do we deserve a place in a Galactic Council? Of course not. We can`t even get along with ourselves. But, thank you for the kind words. I just tried to show people the truth as I understood it. Everyone deserves care, right?

  • captcanada42 said:

    [..YouTube..] Also Canada didn’t have the right to declare war when Britain declared war all the British Commonwealth countries went to war at the same time as Britain decided there foreign policy.Anyways socialized medicine is great better than the old over priced private system that leaves, the little guy out.Designing a health system that works for all is difficult, as those with money will always complain and those with out money won’t as some thing is better than nothing.

  • rballew30 said:

Played poker and had to turn down a bridge invitation. Later this year After Elk hunting I will go to Arizona for the winter. I have some land there. My point is difference in beliefs does not make either side bitter or unhappy.

  • donnapd1 said:

    [..YouTube..] Rb. step down. You lost the debate. You know the comment boxes are small, which impedes proofing. Start listening to folks from other countries and learn. There’s a reason why they came here. Better life. Better opportunity. You’re stuck on stupid, an easy target to brain wash by the 60s retreads. Keep smokin’ your dope, so they can manipulate druggies who are part of rising healthcare costs. Addiction diseases are costly to treat. You’re a drain. Part of the problem. Not part of the solution.

  • wyoman100 said:

    [..YouTube..] I think this administration may do less actual damage to our country than McCain would have with this congress. Obama and his hurry up and don’t think rush has opened people’s eyes. McCain would have eased slowly along the same path and like the frog in water, people would have not noticed in time.

  • donnapd1 said:

    [..YouTube..] Perhaps as McCain is a RHINO. We were left with a choice between the best of 2 evils. It took a jerk like Carter to get a Reagan. So hopefully we’ll get a great conservative. Need to end these gov’t hand outs. Did you know the so-called Katrina “victims” are living in 230K homes? I have a 30 year old guy next store. On the dole for 4 years and ate up $63,000 in housing. Gets 2 “free” lawn cuts, got brand new appliances.There are 100 like him in our area. That’s >$6million with no end in sight.

  • bravado214 said:

    [..YouTube..] Actually, it is both capitalism and democracy that is at fault here. When politicians start caring more about the American people rather than the corporations who lobby and give them campaign contributions then we’ll be much better off. We’ll also be better off when democracy is injected into our capitalistic economy. Seems more like a dictatorship than a real capitalistic society. (Full rebuttal at steamd(.)net)

  • bravado214 said:

    [..YouTube..] Ah, so in other words, you’re saying that Michael Moore is subject to the same preconceived notions and ideas as you? Funny how each side thinks their version is the truth and other side is just sheep. The truth is somewhere in the middle. When you’re able to open your eyes and not look at things from a biased point of view only then are you able to see things for how they really are. (Full rebuttal at steamd(.)net)

  • wyoman100 said:

    [..YouTube..] That is typical of a government program. No end in sight and the longer it goes on the worse it gets. On the flip side Salt Lake City took quite a few refugees from Katrina. A lot, probably most took their freebies and went home when they could. It gets cold there. But some found a new life. much less racial tension, decent paying jobs, much lower crime rate. We did not get anyrefugees in Southwest Wyoming because our booming economy made housing an issue. Wish it was still booming.

  • donnapd1 said:

    [..YouTube..] michael moore is a joke. Just another biased leftie like the media hacks. Look at the leftie Letterman who slaughtered Sarah Palin. He always reminded me of a disgusting pervert and proved my gut woman’s intuition spot on. But the hack will be gone as CNS probablty won’t re-sign the pervert as his ratings hit an all time low–just like him.

  • bravado214 said:

    [..YouTube..] Michael Moore may be a “leftie” but at least he produces movies that make you think. And speaking of Letterman, how the hell do you know anything about him when you don’t have all the facts? Nobody knows Jack about what is truly going on with David Letterman and the latest bit of tabloid journalism. Basides, what the hell does that have to do with the current debate? Nothing. (Full rebuttal at steamd(.)net)

  • donnapd1 said:

    [..YouTube..] Bravado. you know the media spins the lies. And folks Letterman keep on spinning. He has become a mouthpiece for the left. These folks turn lies into truths. Take a look at John Zimmerman’s “Media Malpractice” how barrack hussein obama got elected and sarah palin was a target.Note it also took two twent something year old kids to take down ACORN. Sheer greed and gov’t waste that will circle back to Soros and BO. How’s that for “making you think”

  • donnapd1 said:

    [..YouTube..] Too true. The Katrina “victims” ravaged even the low income housing areas of Nashville. The house next door is a blight. He had domestic violence calls. Still has his Louisiana plates. 2 years ago, these folks had the option to buy the homes for 50 cents on dollar and 100% financing but said why buy the house when we get it for free. Tax payers don’t know this and they’re getting ripped off. It is disgraceful. But I am working on this and hope to end the “katrina victim” gravy train soon.

  • bravado214 said:

    [..YouTube..] @donnapd1: Quite frankly, all media is spin and it happens on both sides of the fence. Even “Media Malpractice” is nothing more than just spin and propaganda. But you did get one thing right: there is plenty of greed and waste. Till you’re able to stop listening to the spin and propaganda and realize that we don’t have a truly democratic gov’t and economy nothing will ever change. That’s not spin. That’s the true. Will write more about this on my blog at steamd(.)net.

    [..YouTube..] Good. I was gone to feed the horse. It snowed over 8 in here last night. The good people who did not know anything but slums and welfare and took the opportunity to better themselves when they found a better life are out of the program. It is time to remove the leaches.

  • donnapd1 said:

    [..YouTube..] Amen sista! Yes the good people valued what they were given and some just know to take and feel the world owes them. Sad. But wow 8 inches of snow! We had a wicked cold snap here. Unusual for TN this time of year. I love Wyoming. Spent a week on horseback retracing the pony express. It was amazing! I never saw so many stars in the evening sky. The weather was so cold in some places and so hot in others. So we dressed in layers. It’s beautiful country–God’s country. I’d like to go back again.

  • kgator22 said:

    [..YouTube..] These video’s are excellent and I hope that hey were really viewed by Obama. Unfortunately when anyone speaks of change at election time, the people who care the most about America will be outvoted by the people who have no clue as to what is going on. They join in the hype of what is popular and running around shouting “change” and wearing a Obama T-shirt and thinking life is going to be make good just for me by other people.

  • wyoman100 said:

Using the governments rationale if we could come up with 250 – 500 more participants not only would it not cost anything, the savings would provide a tax refund for everyone.

Printing trillions of new dollars, bailing out companies, and giving out stimulus packages is not the answer.

Fact: There’s this little place called CHINA to which we have ignorantly tranferred the bulk of our wealth.

    [..YouTube..] The coast guard was funded by the tax payer and structured to serve the public and coastal concerns, especailly for that type of purpose. Why should someone need to call a “Bob’s salvage”? Therefore there is no need, no market. So when the Government, via the Coast Guard, does what it’s actually supposed to do, instead of overhauling and controlling private sector business, you try to make a stretched analogy…..huge FAIL.

  • frei1furimmer said:

    [..YouTube..] Why, YES, sir, I most definitely would. Because as long as the private sector operates as it does, I will get the procedures I need. I know many people who have gotten services they “could not afford”. Under the health care bill, our benefits will be rationed with millions who don’t even legally belong here, your probability to recieve the operation has just diminshed 20%. Tell me you are joking, you really think that public option procedures do not have to be approved by some bureaucrat?

  • sirkit77 said:

  • bravado214 said:

    [..YouTube..] Who is your health insurance provider? Do you pay for the insurance yourself or is it provided to you by your employer? It’s obvious that you have never had an incident where your insurance provider denied a claim otherwise you wouldn’t think this way. Nor do you have any understanding that people go bankrupt every day due to their insurance company failing to pay for life saving claims. Your insurance isn’t the safety net you think it is. That is a fact. (Full rebuttal at steamd(.)net)

  • bravado214 said:

    [..YouTube..] As for public option procedures, you’re talking out of your butt. Again, no one in Congress has written anything in any of the bills proposed that would allow bureaucrats to decide what your doctor can do. And, no, I am not joking because what you are talking about doesn’t exist. What does exist is the possibility of disallowing insurance companies from denying coverage for pre-existing conditions and situations when coverage is needed the most. (Full rebuttal at steamd(.)net)

  • bravado214 said:

    [..YouTube..] Again, you’re supporting the claim that the private sector (health insurance companies) are better suited at deciding how to pay our doctors and hospitals than anyone. We’re talking about our health here which I feel isn’t a commodity. We are putting our health in the hands of companies whose sole motivation is making money. They don’t care about you or your health; only that you keep paying the premiums. I would much rather see insurance companies become non-profit entities. (steamd(.)net)

  • wyoman100 said:

    [..YouTube..] sir,Very few people deny the need for changes in health care. The disagreement is between a government run program and reforms to the tort system and insurance laws. Do you feel the quality of health care in America is deficient or do you feel that costs are out of hand? Personally I would like to see tort reform and health care insurance rules changed to allow competition. I don’t know if that would prove to be the perfect solution but until we try that I don’t see adding to the national debt

  • itflysby said:

    [..YouTube..] AMEN BROTHER! obama’s Healthcare bill SUCKS!

  • sirkit77 said:

    [..YouTube..] Unfortunately, with the lobbyist`s hands in Congress`s pocket, we will never see tort reform or insurance rules changed. Great idea, never happen. Yes, I feel healthcare in this country is extremely deficient if I use my insurance, ( that I pay HIGH premiums on ), it makes my premiums go up even higher. As far as the debt, if the President had not spent what he did, there may not BE a national debt, or a country, either. People forget so quickly…

  • wyoman100 said:

    [..YouTube..] Without some kind of science fiction parallel world we can never know what the outcome of government non intervention would have been. The fact is bailouts happened and the debt is there. I agree the reforms I speak of would be difficult to enact. After experiencing the veterans administration and medicare, along with watching the Forrest Service put private industry out of business while killing the Forrest I am not ready to trust the government with my grand children’s health care.

  • sirkit77 said:

    [..YouTube..] Not to drag the point out, I feel that we have forgotten the very real, simple fact that we were heading into another Great Depression. Just like 9/11, the real feeling of horror passes after awhile, and then it`s business as usual. It takes money to fix very real problems. Healthcare has been broken for years, that`s the real addition to the national debt. We do something about it now, anything, or just see how badly we`re drowning in debt later. It`s just that simple.

  • sirkit77 said:

    [..YouTube..] Ok, well, that`s you. The point I`m making is that: this proposed bill will become law because the Democrats are in control and we will get it passed. Pure and simple. BTW, if you think we weren`t heading down the tubes, then Wyoming must be farther out of touch than I thought.

  • wyoman100 said:

    [..YouTube..] Different areas of the country have certainly been affected differently. When the home finance crisis started we were in an energy boom. That is over now. We have lost jobs and financing is hard to get as it everywhere. We have not been hit as hard as some. That aside, so far as I know there is no actual bill to discuss. Just a concept. I reserve judgment till I see what the Democrats hammer out. They could come up with something I could get behind but I doubt it.

  • TheSuperLiberal said:

    [..YouTube..] All that is great and I’m happy for you, but it doesn’t change the fact that the health ins. company’s have been quadrupling their rates for the past 10 years because they have NO regulations.

So regardless of your political affiliations a “do nothing” approach will only embolden the ins. company’s and they will put our country further in debt not Obama!

Even with the health insurance I had a medical condition that left me with a $3000 dollar bill that I had to pay out of pocket. I was happy that I invested in my own health care policy, so that I didn’t have to pay the full amount. It took me years paying $20 a month until I paid the entire debt. I was able to do this.

As to your point four, I am not sure I agree that tens of thousands are dying from lack of care that a government option would provide. I’m not saying it is not true I just wonder where you got the number. On that point wouldn’t a free clinic system relieve pressure on emergency rooms where a great number of uninsured go for primary care and save money? No that is not a whole solution but it is part of it.

    [..YouTube..] Super Liberal: \Take a little time and check out your ‘factcheck’….I think you’ll find it connected to the Annenberg Foundation…the foundation that funded much of Obama’s earlier work….non partison? I think not.

  • wyoman100 said:

    [..YouTube..] removing the bariers to free market competition would make insurance companys much more service oriented. Letting a few companys have a virtual monopoly in some states kills service and leads to skyrocketing prices. Only doctors and patients should decide on care. An insurance company facing stiff competition will be more responsive than a government bureaucrat. But I will admit I don’t like either very much.

    [..YouTube..] I don’t think any cares about Obamacare as lond as it doesn’t turn out to be a free handout for those who do not contribute to the system. When Chicago tightened up it’s welfare system several years ago, the poor flocked to Milwaukee where it was still very lenient to get enrolled. I don’t want my hard earned money go to those who don’t work. No one gives me my money I earn it. I don’t want to give it to freeloaders. Poor people vote Democrat and are stiil poor. go figure….

  • Mishgradh said:

    [..YouTube..] Governemnt in charge of healthcare? haha! press 1 if you are vomiting, press 2 if you have a traumatic injury, press 3 if you are experiencing lightheadedness and dizziness, if this is a life or death matter, hang up and dial 911. Good luck!Tell me exactly what government agency that you absolutely LOVE to deal with on a continual basis. Imagine a botched surgery. A post surgical infection that manifests itself “after the deadline”. Do you want this type of intrusion? Think before you vote!

    [..YouTube..] this makes me very scared for my future I am 17 years old i am going to have to deal with this when i am older i am going to have to deal with this NOW….it’s scary…I am almost in tears from listening to this… he is right and i hope and pray that people start to listen to what is happening to our country it’s not only happening here it’s all over and we cant get away from it don’t hide your head in the sand any longer. Please.

  • bcbullfrog said:

    [..YouTube..] Maybe you should for a different perspective. You brainwash yourself by listening to only those who agree with you.,

  • bcbullfrog said:

    [..YouTube..] We were in Germany last yr and taxes were around 50%. Most people live in apts. and don’t have cars – not possibe in USA. – distances too far. Europe does not equal USA – we need health care reform but reform that addresses specific problems not one that throws out the good with the bad.

  • schiefe891nav said:

    [..YouTube..] another nut…..He is senile not senior….Good ole Boy syndome….Cries when government regulate Capitalism… The poor get poorer and the rich get richer…Do you think that the RIch people like this fool can not affort health care. He probably has the best health care. He doesn’t want the wealth spread to the poor. It’s the 21 Century and Americans are still working for min wages.

  • Okitakehyate said:

    [..YouTube..] They are NOT offering you a clunker! What they are offering the old, the sick, and the poor is equal to what they themselves have!

  • pspmichael said:

    [..YouTube..] You don’t need more than 4 or 5 pages to prove what a piece of crap this thing is! This thing was NOT written by our Congress! It was written by Obama’s appointee’s who are self professed Marxists, Communists and Socialists. Even one of our own democrats replied to if he had read the document, said, This thing is over 1100 pages! Anyone that says they’ve read it is a liar!” They aren’t reading it because they vote PARTY, not what’s right for the American people! WAKE UP & GET MAD NOW!

  • pspmichael said:

    [..YouTube..] You have GOT to be kidding me! You don’t have a CLUE what you’re talking about! If what you said is true, then tell me why my Senator helped write a bill that would make Congress have to have the same health care we get? BECAUSE THEY HAVE TONS BETTER THAN US, THAT’S WHY! Stop being a sheep and listening to Pelosi and Obama and Reid! DO some friggin homework and discover for yourself what a clunker this is and what’s about to happen to YOU! You are NOT getting the same care as Congress!

  • cowboysfan782008 said:

    [..YouTube..] Whether you agree with Mr. Crawford’s take on Healthcare or not, If you are a “Stand-Up” self reliant person, (Like I Am), you can appreciate what he has to say. I am 40, Crawford is my dads age, and I have a 97 yr old grandma that is still on the ball, with opinions. That said, I can see the difference, “as a whole”, with more and more PPL having a false sense of entitlement, usually because they have made the wrong decisions in life, and now they have nothing to lose. Too much system abuse!

  • sirkit77 said:

    [..YouTube..] bcbullfrog , true. Except, that I listen to the truth. Go to steamd(.)net.

  • sirkit77 said:

    [..YouTube..] We can talk about this until the cows come home. It will still be passed.

  • L3athaL said:

    [..YouTube..] Yes, if you go to the hospital you are cared for. However, that the taxpayer pay for all care like this is a FAT LIE!!. The real trurh is you usually end up on a list (THE BANKRUPT LIST). Don’t forget about the other list for people with no insurance that one is called the TOE TAG LISTt! When the gov is subsidizing in excess of 21 trillion for fed employees health plans( just thier share)and claim the cost of health care is 2.2 trilliin.This is utter BULLSHIT!. I think we can pay for everone!

  • mmckay186 said:

    [..YouTube..] He dose have a point, our goverment has too much say on what we do in this Country…If we as a people don’t put a stop to it now, we will be just like Russaaaaaaaaa..People, wake the F up. Look everyday the power the police have now, look who you put into office, let get rid of all these old assholes, light up a joint and get our rights back…….

  • sirkit77 said:

    [..YouTube..] They are poor from eight years of Bush…

  • 9832141 said:

    [..YouTube..] it is scary when you see people that think this health care is good for our country. this goverment wants to control everything that we do. just look at the programs they now run, every one of those are in trouble, and these same people want to run a health care program . just fix what we have and put tighter controls on where our money is spend. our young people will have to pay for what this government does now, and if this health care bill is passed their future is bleak.

  • sirkit77 said:

    [..YouTube..] Well said.

  • libertyisnooootfree said:

    [..YouTube..] R u a whiner? Who owes YOU a living? I have worked jobs I hated-but I did it because I had to! Taxpayers DO pay for those who can’t afford health care-my daughter had several weeks of hospital care-she didn’t pay a dime except for the ambulance ! GET REAL. This is a great country-some politicians/businessmen are greedy jerks- but would you want to live in Havana or Haiti or Malawi? Don’t think so !

  • libertyisnooootfree said:

    [..YouTube..] Read up on our history “The 5000 Year Leap” would be a good starting place for you & all those who think our country isn’t so great! Free enterprise and our US Constitution is the greatest gift we have – and to preserve it for our children & grandkids will be your job.

  • sirkit77 said:

    [..YouTube..] Whoa, you better back up, bud. I`m not whining about anything. I made my own living, I`m not asking anyone for squat. Don`t you EVER tell me that I don`t think America is the greatest country in the world, because I do. You better back WAY the hell up before you ever talk to me like that again. This a place for intelligent comments, not haters like you.

  • camelguy13 said:

    [..YouTube..] While a health care plan that includes a public option will most likely be passed the Republicans will eat the Democrats lunch in 2010.

  • libertyisnooootfree said:

    [..YouTube..] Who is hating? But you sounded like a whiner to me !

  • sirkit77 said:

    [..YouTube..] I can dig it, but if you look back up the page I didn`t whine anywhere.

  • bravado214 said:

    [..YouTube..] @cissy1369: You’re very fortunate to have been able to pay off the $3000 bill you received. However, not everyone is so fortunate. Imagine if the bill you received was 10 times that (ie. $30,000), would you have been able to afford the $500+ a month necessary to pay it off? That’s what a lot of people face with health insurance companies. That’s what needs to be fixed. (Full rebuttal at steamd(.)net)

  • bravado214 said:

    [..YouTube..] @wyoman100: Personally, I don’t like the idea of a 100% gov’t ran program or private company in charge of deciding on what procedures to pay. Indeed, stiff gov’t control can lead to more problems than it solves. Private industry leads to profits being more important than people’s wellbeing. I would much rather see insurance in the hands of a non-profit organization that isn’t 100% controlled by the gov’t. (steamd(.)net)

  • bravado214 said:

    [..YouTube..] @libertyisnooootfree: Free enterprise may work in many industries, but when it comes to health insurance free enterprise fails. Do you seriously think that insurance companies really care about your wellbeing? Do you honestly think that if you were sitting in the hospital dying that your insurance company cares more about you not dying than maintaining profitability? Show me one insurance company that cares and is in the red and I’ll believe free enterprise works. (steamd(.)net)

  • bravado214 said:

    [..YouTube..] @libertyisnooootfree: I’m not a whiner either. I work for a living and I mostly pay for everything out of my own pocket. I try not to rely on my gov’t or another company for anything. But if there’s one thing that I believe it it’s fairness. Someone paid for your daughter’s trip to the hospital. You mean to tell me that you didn’t get a bill from the hospital? Seriously? Nothing in this country is free. Someone pays, somebody profits. And that is the root of the problem. (steamd(.)net)

  • wyoman100 said:

    [..YouTube..] You mean something like blue cross-blue shield only a monopoly? I would only disagree on the monopoly part. Corperations try to maximize profit. If there is a lot of competition they will give good service, not to be nice, but to sell more policies. The best way to kill service is grant a monopoly. I still think we must have tort reform or costs will continue out of hand. That goes for both medical and pharmaceutical. I don’t mean let the bad guys go. I mean stop the frivolous stuff.

  • sirkit77 said:

    [..YouTube..] A single-payer system or a public option would have provided just that competition needed to drive rates down, thereby saving all of us our hard-earned money. But the ins.cos. made sure that didn`t happen.

  • bravado214 said:

    [..YouTube..] No doubt tort reform and cost control needs to happen. However, these are only a part of the problem so we can’t say that doing these alone will solve the problem. Not all health insurance companies are evil but some form of regulation and oversight is required to keep them honest. Maximizing profit in the insurance industry is about reducing the number of claims while increasing premiums. I just don’t like the idea of my health being something someone can profit off of for no reason.

  • Niftytax said:

    [..YouTube..] We the People can pay for health care and save for our retirement, WITHHOUT the government bankrupting our children! to see how JUST saving for retirement can eliminate ALL taxes based on income WITHOUT LOWERING the revenue going to the U.S. Treasury. google Niftytax or watch my video here

  • wyoman100 said:

    [..YouTube..] I am not sure it was all the insurance companies. There are a lot of players in this and some stay well undercover. Don’t misunderstand, I am no fan of insurance companies. They don’t build those skyscrapers with the money they paid out. The government just scares me worse than they do.

  • wyoman100 said:

    [..YouTube..] There is no perfect model. I see something like the competitiveness of the auto insurance industry as the best alternative. Some are much better than others. I know people in the repair and the adjustment business. Using their experience I found reasonable pricing with good service for my truck insurance. I do like the BC-BS model for health insurance. Right now I feel it is the best bet for those who cannot get insurance through their work.
