You hit the nail on the head. Check out “Billionaires for Wealthcare” vids.

Democrats are getting huge contributions too. That’s why we’re not getting single-payer in the House or Senate, or even a strong public option. They have to keep that lobby-money flowing. These f#@kin bribes should be illegal! Sooner or later they’ll sell us into a global catastrophe. They’ve already managed to sell us into a global financial mess!

You asked why we are gullible and ignorant about health care issues. I will tell you. It is because it is about the human body. (GASP)!! Our puritanical roots tell us that our bodies are something to be ashamed of, and hidden, and sinful. The only way to get the health care you deserve is to educate yourself and to do and demand what is needed to get healthier.

the rich are highly skilled at mobilizing ignorant people to lobby for schemes that are bad for them - people buy the lie, and express their outrage to legislators, who have been bribed with campaign contributions. I think if the greed-pigs could be silenced, and honest information given, people would realize they are being reamed

thanbk you so kmuch for posting this - you know, all our industrialized peers require health insurance providers to offer reasonable coverage at a reasonable cost, on a non-profit basis. Let’s join the rest of our peers, please.

as long as the greedy capitalist republican party exists, along with their trailor parks and catholic oppression, medicine will remain a profitmaking machine, just like war.

I would rather take the money and keep it in a savings account and collect some kind of interest. That way If I were to actually need health care I wouldn’t have some stupid company deciding on whether or not to give me my own damn money!!!!! It is shameful!!! Where I’m from (Spain) medications and health care in general is cheaper because it is regulated, companies don’t control the government. It’s as simple as that. Pharmaceutical companies are proactive with there lobbies and so should we.

Sorry, Americanmale1953. What surgery did you have and how come it didn’t work ? (If you know why or can say).
Health insurance companies are so out of whack and I really don’t think that people know about it, how bad it is, until they are denied. The surgery I need is regularly approved by other insurances. That is the kick, if I was on so-and-so, I would be approved. But maybe the other ins. may deny you for something else. It is frustrating. Especially when you owe the bill. ugh.

…We should be ashamed of ourselves! How in the world, we can be so gullible and ignorant about health care issues(among others) and let millions of our citizens, (including ourselves) suffer and exploited at the mercy of insurance racket. On top of it we malign people who are trying to do something about it no matter how mediocre it is. We need a single payer health system similar to France, Germany, etc. or a universal system like Canada, England, Sweden, and others. Health Care is a right.

I am not a French citizen however I went to university there, and received a free doctor care for 2 years as well as complicated dental treatment for $20. Friend of mine broke his leg. His cost of excellent care was $70.
Another friend of mine living in London had to have a surgery to treat his ulcer. 5 days after the diagnosis, surgery cost him $0!Furthermore he received a money for cab when he left the hospital as he did not have a car! Need I tell you more?..Continued…

Welcome to the club, my 15,000.00 surgery was a failure so now I get to be crippled and broke too! LOL!
C’mon, you really think they will share their champagne and Escort services with you!

It makes sense to me that these companies could make as much if not more if they made their rates cheaper and we could avoid this socialist healthcare and people can get health care.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:35 pm
This should be the kind of target that health care reform — and business regulation reform as a whole —- needs to be pursuing.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:35 pm
actually “no free lunch” idealism is a pretty new concept. how’s that been working out?
November 15th, 2009 at 2:35 pm
capitalism has not failed at all, it is the basis for today’s premier economic model
china and cuba’s economic surge is because of capitalism, and europe’s tanking economy is because of socialist-heavy economic theory that rests heavily in the state.
the reality is european HC depends on American profit incentive to keep their prices low.
if america were to socialize HC, social HC in europe would sky-rocket because the cost of technology and innovation goes up
no such thing as a free lunch.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:35 pm
the reasons you cite are the exact reasonscapitolism has failed in our times. technology, market triggers and competition are not enough to buy confidence. you have to already have a buyer to assume value on anything.
i could have truckloads of paper money but without people believing in it.. it’s worth less than fire kindling.

NI (national insurance) cost us about 5 - 50 quid a month depending on earnings. if we need medicines and have a job we pay a 2 -10 pounds for the medication. that because the NHS is huge and gets good deals from the drug suppliers. if you are out of work. ITS FREE! thats it. not 1000s every month only to be denied because you forgot to tell them about a yeast infection 10 years prior to signing up. its about health not wealth.
November 15th, 2009 at 2:35 pm
so you really dont even know what you are talking about it seems. and capitalism is not the only way to do things. check out the post office, the fire service.you obviously have watched far too much fox news. you pay money to administrators who then decide if you can have an operation based on the bottom line. not your actual need for the surgery. imagine the fire brigade deciding whether or not to put out a fire. they have to conduct an arson investigation before they decide to put it out. dumb
November 15th, 2009 at 2:35 pm
so what? it’s called capitalism.
profit incentive forces competition and technology.
britain has one the most bloated and corrupt health care system in the world. funny thing is, the employees don’t use government health!
government is far more wasteful than any corporation could ever dream of.
universal healthcare means nothing without qualify. The USSR had universal healthcare, and it SUCKED.
