There is a reason why people come from around the world come here to get health care, especially from those who country already has government funded healthcare.

If its unaffordable NOW, how can you argue its a good system? Also, doesn’t an increase in competition produce lower prices? Isn’t that EXACTLY what a public plan would do?

And yes, RICH PEOPLE from around the world come here because our RICH PEOPLE can afford the best care in the world. I highly doubt any poor to middle class folks from Europe are coming here for health care. Get frikkin’ real.

There is a reason morons like YOU just regurgitate what you are told to think by that radio screechmonkey. You are stupid. TOO stupid to think for yourself. Your post was a bunch of lies and malarkey. Not a single thing you said was true. Countries with national healthcare plans pay LESS per capita than we do and 36 of them have BETTER healthcare available. The elderly and sick do NOT suffer there. You are a moron. It would be best if you refrained from commenting on things that you know nothing about. Nothing that is that Rush didnt TELL you to think

These guys are good.

Even if there’s cameras shooting it all.

Write your Senator today. Or die laughing. Patient choice.

Well, that strategy would only work if we were dealing with some abstract policy with which Americans had only a vague familiarity. Since so many people know EXACTLY what’s wrong with the system from very personal experience, this is really DOA. I wouldn’t worry too much.

All I do is show the front desk my government health card. Done. It doesn’t cost me a single penny out-of-pocket, there is no co-pay, I can get a second opinion (or third or fourth), and as an added bonus, I don’t have to worry my claim will be denied by anybody or that I will get nailed with a bill in the future.

My wife and I had out first child last year. She ended up with an infection of the amniotic fluid which passed to the baby and she needed an emergency c-section. We were in the hospital for a week so my wife could recover and receive antibiotics and the baby was in the neonatal intensive care unit. After the week, they were both cleared of infection, I signed my name on the discharge form and we walked out the door. No paperwork other than that, no government telling us what to do, no insurance company expecting a co-pay. Nothing.

It really couldn’t be any easier than that. People just have to be willing to except slightly higher taxes. But study after stufy PROVES that health care through taxation is significantly cheaper than private insurance. The fact that REpublicans consistently fail to recognize this REALITY, and continue to spread their propaganda is stunning to me. Especially since they all have free health care provided for them via taxpayer dollars.

Oh by the way, my doctor has never had to ask for permission from anyone to treat me.

What you are hearing is just propaganda!!!!!!

So the goal is to make health care reform as less government enslaving to the people as possible.

That’s why they’re hammering home the point of you losing your personal freedom of choice.

Why do you think Obama during campaign kept saying:

“If you like your private insure then you can keep it.”

Answer: Because his advisers are attuned to the fears of the American people and potential angles of attacks from Repubs.

But let’s be truthful… If a public plan or the overhaul and expansion of medicare is offered (which I prefer over offering a public plan), then this will ultimately lead to universal healthcare because the for profit insurance companies won’t be able to compete.

And if we want Healthcare reform, we are going to have to PAY FOR IT!

I’m for Universal healthcare but I just don’t appreciate the lying to the American people.

They treat us like we’re stupid.

What would FDR say today, I wonder?

The idea that a committee of Washington bureaucrats will establish the standard of care for all Americans and decide who gets what treatment based on how much it costs is anathema to Americans.

Luntz almost got it right here. Substitute “insurance companies” for “committee of Washington bureaucrats” and Luntz would be accurately describing our current health care system and one of the prime reasons we need a new single payer system with universal coverage. I guess irony is not one of Luntz’s strong suits.
