Aug 6, 2009 - Health insurance companies are just so barbaric!

MeandProgressive Says:

Aug 7, 2009 - Its situational application of the law, we pay for bogus insurance - Corporate crooks get rich, Progressive utilizes dumb caricature to sell worthless insurance policies. There is nothing funny about death and mangled bodies. Progressive is nothing more than a Ponzi Scheme in which the Corporate Executives get rich and leave injured policy holders bogus insurance policies which are not worth the paper they are written on. See Progressive Insurance Has Treated Me as Roadkill

Aug 12, 2009 - I am an accomplished trial attorney. I AM UNABLE TO GET MY OWN HEALTH INSURANCE. Period. End of Story. I am not disabled. I had to spend a fortune on medical bills. I had to close my lucrative law practice. I want to reopen my practice in Coeur d Alene, Idaho or Spokane, Washington. I AM WILLING TO MARRY A GREAT LADY IN ORDER TO GET HEALTH INSURANCE. Richard

Aug 13, 2009 - This is quite refreshing to visit a page void of paranoid cavemen swinging the words "liberal" and "socialism" around like clubs. I suppose the fact that you can't shout down Bill Moyers when he appears in the form of a recorded video on Youtube has a lot to do with it. If only these "protesters" knew that they are rallying to support the very people that will be screwing them in the near future, they would see what dolts they are.

MrKeyes2012 Says:

Aug 14, 2009 - Alan Keyes would do the right thing and only let those who deserve health care, or those who can afford it, have it. We have coddled the lazy poor population long enough, and that is why they live better lives than most millionaires now. We should all bitch, scream, and moan, and blow off air horns at these town hall meetings, because that is the only way to get things done - The Alan Keys way!

nguncikti Says:

Aug 16, 2009 - I am 37 years old and i have never purchased insurance all my life and i will never buy until government take over this industry

lucinda2005 Says:

Aug 16, 2009 - Pull all for profit insurance companies' business licenses. Revoke their state charters! Health insurance companies are making trillion of dollars off "trusting" brainwashed people that think that if they send 1000 bucks/mo to some big important company that they will be"protected" Insur. companies are thugs ,murderers and criminals at best. I hope "they" enjoy an eternity in hell.

mss627 Says:

Aug 20, 2009 - It's amazing isn't it? People fighting for the rights of large corporations over their fellow citizens. As if basic health care is somehow a priviledge. Talk about drinking the Kool Aid.

TIXGUY2010 Says:

Aug 22, 2009 - More people need to watch Wendell potter videos no Harry potter videos!

schifferbrainz Says:

Aug 30, 2009 - Sorry. Meant to thumbs up. This is why the dereliction of duty of the fourth estate is so egregious. Remember that these town hallers are a very small minority. We outnumber them by millions.

rwcbanzai Says:

Sep 9, 2009 - When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for ONE people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and EQUAL station to which the Laws of Nature and of Natures God ENTITLE them, a Decent Respect to the opinions of HUMANKIND requires that they should declare the CAUSES which impel them to the separation.- from FOR PROFIT DENIALCARE BARONS~ SINGLE PAYER OR DIE BROKE! research HR 676

suicideking344 Says:

Sep 10, 2009 - I feel sick...crap.

Cohort227 Says:

Sep 15, 2009 - Is that the same medicare that is going bankrupt? Is that the same medicare that loses millions each year to fraud and waste? Is that the same medicare that has an I.O.U.(does exist) trust fund backing it? Obama's healthcare bill will be another failed government experiment just like that medicare you are talking about.

harmlesstree Says:

Sep 17, 2009 - Medicare Failed? Medicare was established 44 years ago. Medicare has provided medical coverage to millions upon millions of people who otherwise could not have gotten it. For they are old and sick, and thus there is no profit to be made from them. The US has among the lowest average life span among developed nations. Without Medicare, it would be lower. Medicare's fiscal problems are not due to its structure, but are rather do to who it insures, old/sick people, who have numerous medical bills

harmlesstree Says:

Sep 17, 2009 - If a private for profit system were set up to cover those who are currently enrolled in Medicare, and this would make no sense - unless the company could cherry pick the healthiest seniors, they would almost immediately go out of business. You do not make money by paying for individuals medical bills, you make money by not paying for them The answer to solving medicare's fiscal problem is simply: bring everyone into medicare. Thus its costs would be distributed among the healthy. Failure Please!

redbonegal Says:

Sep 23, 2009 - There is a special place in HELL for insurance company execs and members of congress on their payrolls. Joining them will be the citizens that have good healthcare that don't give a damn about their fellow citizens who don't.

DDBOOGER Says:

Sep 24, 2009 - looks like that propaganda worked on you! :) and it is only corrupt because it allows the industry to dictate it's prices to them w/o checks and balances on them.

brunodemoura Says:

Sep 24, 2009 - It's amazing how these companies schemes against the truth. Americans are so misinformed by the media. It is so absurd that sounds like a conspiracy theory. But, unfortunately it is the truth.

KhyronDesintegrado Says:

ConservativeHealth Says:

Nov 6, 2009 - We as conservatives stand against the socialized government controlled vaccine program that currently exists in the United States. We want to privatize this institution. Americans should have the freedom to take responsibility for themselves, stop looking for hand outs, and shop the free market for a best H1N1 vaccine. NO to publicly funded vaccines.

Jrkdyw Says:

Nov 7, 2009 - Hey! I am a self -employed 29 year old female, we need reform, I work hard! I'm not asking for a fing hand out but I would like to get covered, at an affordable cost, WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT!
