Oct 28, 2009 - I have still watched horror stories on documentaries about incredibly long wait times for rarer conditions and treatments, and for getting a family doctor (drawings in some towns, for instance, for people who wait years to get a family doctor).

mikejackson4ever Says:

Oct 28, 2009 - And if you accuse the people in the documentaries I'm talking about of lying, I suggest you watch them for yourself. It's your word against theirs, and I would like to know why you think they're lying.

mikejackson4ever Says:

Oct 28, 2009 - Whenever I hear someone with a southern accent speak- Vicki, for instance- I just automatically think of them as stupid. I'm sorry, but people from the south just seem like they have a lower IQ. It's probably just prejudice for me to say that. But so far, I have yet to be proven wrong. They just seem mildly retarded to me.

mikejackson4ever Says:

Oct 28, 2009 - Is the Canadian government the source? I'll read it, but sorry, unless there's a corroborating, private investigational source, the government doing a study on how great of a job the government is doing seems highly suspect. There is a definite conflict of interest. I hope you guys have independent sources up there. Can you imagine if your employee review at your place of work was to be written by you, and no one questioned it? Seems highly suspect.

CoolDojo9000 Says:

Oct 29, 2009 - 62%, 75%, Havard university study. The other study is done by OECD: Organization for economic corporation and development. These are very well known set of numbers. You need to become better informed.

mikejackson4ever Says:

Oct 29, 2009 - 62%, 75% do what with what, again?

CoolDojo9000 Says:

Oct 29, 2009 - stop being a troll

sfordgg Says:

Oct 29, 2009 - sounds like these idiots suffer from pride to me, typical iggornant middle class

lynchmobb2000 Says:

Nov 1, 2009 - What about grocery insurance? Stossel is a fucking conservative prick and an insurance company schill.

VenusBlue4u Says:

Nov 2, 2009 - I'm still confused. Who's paying for the univeral health insurance that big mouth (Hillary) is screaming about? They'll have to raise taxes again. That is all those Democrats do is sit around and think of ways to increase our taxes. Every illegal will get first priority to this Univ. Health Care. On the West coast a US citizen can't get a H1N1 flu shot. The illegals are lined up with their broods.

Nov 4, 2009 - Stossel: Hmm....bringing up pre-existing conditions could sink this bullshit documentary and make me look like a stupd fuck.....hmm....I'll just pretend that never happens and make sure the insurance companies look good. how does that fuck sleep at night?

Nov 5, 2009 - If we had a free-market system, where you could buy it interstate, and stop state's from making friendly regulation in the favor of health insurance, thus real free-market principals, then discrimination laws would protect people from being denied for pre-existing conditions. But god forbid Almighty Texas, you condier such a thing, instead of the almight government

archcon3 Says:

Nov 5, 2009 - If we had a government health care system the tax payer would have to pay for the person to be coverd. Somebody gets screwed eathier way. There is no perfect system. At least with the private insurance you are responsible for your own health. I tell you what, if we do get government run health care Im going to drink untill I get sirocies of the liver. When I get my bills from my irrasponsible behavior ill just send the to you.

AllmightyTexas Says:

Nov 5, 2009 - no I agree with you, we need tort reform and we need interstate health insurance, I'm just saying Stossel's being a fucking idiot with grocery insurance. Stossel is a tool of the NWO any way you slice it

AllmightyTexas Says:

Nov 5, 2009 - And I highly doubt that you would drink until you got cirrhosis, because your a pussy ass punk. Let's be fucking real. You know you wouldn't do it. I don't want socialist insurance, but let's be real, my aunt got surgery denied because of a pre-existing condition, you can't joke about this shit.

hint0122 Says:

Nov 6, 2009 - not to mention the terrorists in gitmo who are getting shots.

Nov 6, 2009 - John Stossel is freaking awesome. Leave our Healthcare ALONE

Dastgreene Says:

Nov 10, 2009 - Cousin's baby would not have been delivered in Europe because pregnancy was too high risk. Would have to abort child. Baby was born here and the healthy 18 yr old is entering college. Dangerous!!

Subher0 Says:

Nov 11, 2009 - Just look at the woman at the end... with social healthcare you don't get these kind of tragedies... if these people aren't reason enough to change the health insurance... the government isn't going to decide anything... you get covered nonetheless... "government run" it's not like politician decide if you live or die you just get covered under ANY circumstance.

godawefulll Says:

Nov 12, 2009 - Whoever disagrees with national healthcare is a dumbass, they are wasting our tax dollars on worse things...

anusgoblin Says:

Nov 12, 2009 - Thanks for making things so black and white.

HeyWakeUpPeople Says:

Nov 18, 2009 - Subher0 is living in a delusional fantasy world. Heres a tip get off the drugs and wake up to reality.

HeyWakeUpPeople Says:

Nov 18, 2009 - OUR YOU READY FOR FREE HOUSES AND NOBODY HAS TO WORK FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! LETS ALL GO INTO A RETARD FANTASY FRENZY!!!!! I hate stupid people!!!

jmac800 Says:

Nov 22, 2009 - why not just eliminate health insurance com[anies and have patients pay the doctor directly through long term plans. Ie pay $1000 a year to a hospital and a doctor and $500 and they give you whatever you want when you get sick. I think its silly to have intermediaries between doctors and patients. Imagine if you had to pay an insurer just to see a teacher
