Comments on: Clinton Promises Universal Health Care

Says She "Learned A Lot" During Failed Health Care Effort Of Husband's Presidency

[jebby_one]

Let me see if I understand ...


Hillary wants to take away some of the Medicare benefits that I already paid for and give them to someone who votes for her ?

We should just enroll all Americans in the same health care plan provided to the President, and to members of Congress & the Supreme Court.

They all seem to enjoy extravagant health care benefits, including "free" routine checkups, at no cost to themselves.

If it's good for them, why not all Americans?

And, if not, why do they have such extravagant health care provided for "free" (at taxpayer expense)?

Interestingly enough, one of the Bush apologists raised this same question a couple of days ago. Which made me laugh. Not because it would not be a good solution...I believe that it would. But because that would be a prime example of a single-payer Universal health care system...the very thing they have been arguing against!

As an expat in Europe I can tell you it's wonderful to have universal health care. I can go to the doctor whenever I want, and need to. I don't have to worry about approval of visits from HMO's or costly private insurance.

Quite a few Brits, who have came over here told me that after you reach age 55 usually you are no longer considered a contributing member of society and your quality of healthcare decreases rapidly. As for bypass surgery or something equally as serious, "Forget It", you are put on a waiting list until you die. Sounds like a hell of a procedure to me! I don't know about the rest of you but I don't want to risk "Hillary care" to find out. Once you get government mandated health care you won't ever get rid of it.

We need a Communist Revolution in the USA! Everbudy knows that reel Communism has never been tried.

We need to round up all republicans, neocons, etc. and send them all to re-educashun camps to teach them how to be politcaly corect. WE CANNOT TOLERATE DESENT, we need to imprison all conservatives until they convert to OUR way of thinking. When everbudy is politicaly corect and thinks like us, then we can all get along

Re-distribute monie from rich and give to the pour, that's what the rich diserve for wurking so hard. It isnt fare that people who wurk hard get payd more.

COMMUNIZE HEALTH CARE FIRST, then energy, then corporations so that everbudy works for the state.

There is no god, only the state, WE know it takes a village!

Long live the gloreus peeples republic of amerika

neo-commie says:

Canada boasts one of the highest life expectancies (about 80 years) and lowest infant morality rates of industrialized countries, which many attribute to Canada's health care system.

yes, so let's take a shortcut and pay the bus fare to Canada for Americans who want free health care.

I kinwo very well that the (Most) EU has cradle to grave health care, They allso have the highest "Cradel to Grave Taxes" to support the folly. I know, my wife was raised in the Father land.

98% of all Canadians are very satisfied with their universal health care program.

Percent of GDP towards health care in Europe and Canada: 8%; in the USA, 17%. Sorry ConDummies! I know you hate facts!

PT Barnum said,"There's a sucker born every minute."
I might add,"There's always someone there to take them."

Now we know why wealthy Canadians get their healthcare in Ohio. Get YOUR FACTS right for once moonbat!

What are you talking about? Didnt God say he makes these Kings and leaders above us? They serve at His pleasure, not ours.

Just like our invasion of Iraq, while it seems to have been misleading, the true effect was truely righteous, beyond any scheme or imagination men could have had.

Saddams sons no longer rape and kill at will. Saddam actions were responsible for the deaths of 2 million people. They cured Iraq prison crowding by taking the prisoners out and killing them. Then they went out and arrested more political dissidents to crowd the prisons again. 500,000 infants and children died because Saddam would not take the necessary action to provide his people with water, but he could build disney like complexes and palaces with state of the art water systems.

With the death of the tyrant, we find the enemies of Gods people killing each other. God truely is at work here, at levels far deeper than any of us know.

Ah I see, so God sanctioned all of the torture in Abu Ghraib? Oh and he must have been ok with Saddam killing all those people in the first place, its ok they were just muslims anyway right? And it was ok for Bush to lie in order to get us into a war that has caused more hatred towards America? Since God is in control then I guess we can blame him for everything that goes wrong in the world as well as all the stuff that goes well? Yeah God is in control and he's making the world a better place for sure.

[jn122736]

Evidently, since blaming Bill Clinton for Bush%u2019s Iraqi fiasco is going nowhere and Bush can do no wrong, it is now time to blame it all on God

If this %u201Cgod%u201D is so weak that he has to resort to lies and deceit to get someone to do his work for him I find it hard to believe he could have created the entire universe in only seven days.

That is as rediculas as banning flag burning because our flag (symbol) is too weak to withstand criticism.

Sucks that politics prevent a similar health care plan for America.

[wiredwilly]

Universal Healthcare is a must. Compassion will replace hate,
generosity will replace greed, and wisdom will replace folly.
What is now is not what will be in the future.
Ms. Clinton is on the right track.
What folly spending trillions destroying people
when you could spend trillions healing them.
I grew up in the 1950's when everything was Elvis, Hot Rods, New Inventions and Hope. Health Care is a right, not a privilege. We simply need to change the rules of the game.
The Internet will empower our collective intelligence .
There are much more sane ways to approach Health Care.
Exploiting people's suffering for profit is obsolete.

European Universal Health Care: Huge success throughout the continent, value of the Euro compared to the dollar has increased over 50% in the past 5 years. Canadian Universal Health Care: clearly one of the best programs in the world, no waits, great care, 98% of all Canadians are very satisfied with their universal health care program.

Percent of GDP towards health care in Europe and Canada: 8%; in the USA, 17%. Sorry ConDummies! I know you hate facts!

Universal Health Care (Socialized Medicine) Why do the Canadians that live near the US Border come to America for their Health Care? 1. They don't have to wait 6 months to see a Doctor, 2. We have better care. In Canada there is not an incenative to perform better, your paid a flat rate by the Government no matter what.
