This moron is a paid shill and is here every day. Now who do you think pays his dependent self to do that? My tax dollars?

Only one member of my family has been murdered and it was by a doctor at Harborview Medical in Seattle.

She was given an overdose of morphine (2 large IV''s) we were told it was to make her more comfortable after they took her off life support.

I realize now she would have recovered from the malpractice that caused her problem but they killed her to limit their liability.

It is profit, monopolies, corruption, price fixing greed and racism that makes our medical system so dangerous and expensive. But then look who controls it. About 70% of doctors are Jews and I have been abused myself by these SOB''s while in the hospital.

Single payer health care NOW! Screw the zionist insurance companies.

If this is true, just means there needs to be more people who know how to take care of themselves and less liberals relying on the government to take care of them.

Take off the swastika stupid and READ. The Figures show and show clearly that the number of people without health care went up and went up DRAMATICALLY under that piece of trash YOU call a President. HE made fun of Gore and Democrats who insisted we needed to take action to stop this process. HE like all the Nazi''''s SAID they were going to make in MORE affordable. YOu don''''t believe it, search the debates. The question I have for you Nazi''''s is why do YOU keep buying the same tired old lies and trashing EVERY democrat that proposes a REAL solution, including Hillary? We have the WORST system in the civilized world for a reason... when you fascist took over we had one of the best...it''''s all there in the records. Search out how many american''''s were without medical care in 1980 IF you can keep the swastika off long enough. Seig Heil Bush

I''m not sure my paycheck can stand a $4 trillion deduction for my health care. Guess I''ll have to cut back on Starbucks.

Kinda like predicting the tech boom in 1989. Most of these studies never consider the medical tech in the pipe line. For example Tengion''s neo organs or the stem cell treatments that are already curing diabetes in the lab.

How much will it cost per year in Iraq by then?

A spokesman for the Republican party was on talk radio 4 months ago in Charlotte , NC and I''m quoting here " We should shut down medicare ,medicaid and social secutrity immediately. Even my own mother can die if necassary , but hey, people die. Americans have an unrealistic expectation to be treated for their diseases and live longer. They need to get over it. If you can''t afford to seek treatment you don''t deserve it." The little twit was 21yrs old and thinks he will never be old. Clueless.

The govt. has talked of plans to bail mortgages for people who borrowed above their means but has refused to address the people who have had to declare bankrup;tcty over the past decade due to medical costs most responsible people who had health insurance. That''s how expensive it is. You can go bankrupt even WITH insurance. It''s crazy.

In terms of "richest nation re: the US, no it is not, when viewed using the HDI from the UN Development Program. The US is 12th on global basis re: the 2007/2008 report.

The Human Development Index (HDI) is the normalized measure of life expectancy, literacy, education, standard of living, and GDP per capita for countries worldwide. 1 %u25B2 (1) Iceland %u25B2 0.968
2 %u25BC (1) Norway %u25B2 0.968
3 %u25AC (0) Australia %u25B2 0.962
4 %u25B2 (2) Canada %u25B2 0.961
5 %u25BC (1) Ireland %u25B2 0.959
6 %u25BC (1) Sweden %u25B2 0.956
7 %u25B2 (2) Switzerland %u25B2 0.955
8 %u25BC (1) Japan %u25B2 0.953
9 %u25B2 (1) Netherlands %u25B2 0.953
10 %u25B2 (6) France %u25B2 0.952
11 %u25AC (0) Finland %u25B2 0.952
12 %u25BC (4) United States %u25B2 0.951

The downward arrow means the US dropped from 2004.

When viewed regionally in the Americas Canada is #1, followed by the US.
1 %u25AC (0) Canada %u25B2 0.961
2 %u25AC (0) United States %u25B2 0.951
3 %u25AC (0) Barbados %u25B2 0.892
4 %u25AC (0) Argentina %u25B2 0.869
5 %u25AC (0) Chile %u25B2 0.867
6 %u25AC (0) Uruguay %u25B2 0.852
7 %u25AC (0) Costa Rica %u25B2 0.846
8 %u25B2 (2) Bahamas %u25B2 0.845
9 %u25BC (1) Cuba %u25B2 0.838
10 %u25B2 (1) Mexico
The above 10 countries are the 10 highest HDI''s, while there are 10 lowest HDI''s. On a global basis Cuba is 51 and Brazil 70, and Venezuala 74.
