Comments on: Poll: Most Back Public Health Care Option

CBS News/New York Times Survey Shows Most Americans Approve Of Government Intervention In Health Care Coverage

[sjc_1]

We pay twice as much as any other country, but we rank 37 on the list for quality of care, when you count infant mortality and life expectancy. We have the worst of both worlds, we pay much more and get much less. But doctors, hospitals, drug and insurance companies live very well, so they want it to remain the same.

Freedom, How can I pay for my own? What does that mean? Pay my own $60,000.00 hospital bills, or pick up the entire prmium from my employer which is 16,000 per year. Which one? b/c both are impossible. I'm a hard worker, I don't want hand outs but I should't have to sell my house if my kids get sick. What the hell are you talking about? How is this a case of me being brainwashed?

Republicans don't want us to pay the government more in taxes for a nationalized health care system,that would be horrible. But they don't mind us shelling out $150.00 per week (THATS EVERY PAYCHECK) to some corporate executive, who when he's not busy driving to and from his yacht and his mansion via his porche, will be deciding whether or not I should be able to stay in the hospital overnight after colon cancer surgery b/c it might cost too much. Total nonsense. I don't know what people are thinking. STOP WATCHING FOX YOU IDIOTS!!!!

Yep, republican'ts just love Americans paying the bills for a system that is dysfunctional, ineffective, and broken -- essentially a sick care system -- where for-profit insurance companies make decisions that should be left for patients and physicians.

We spend $2.5 Trillion annually on health care -- 18% of our GDP and far more than any other country spends on health care -- yet the World Health Organization ranks U.S. health care only 37th among nations, on par with Serbia.

We spend twice as much per capita on health care as European countries, but we are twice as sick with chronic disease.

It's no wonder that a majority of Americans back a public health care option, since our completely dysfunctional system costs too much already, and comprehensive health reform legislation is our opportunity to change the paradigm to cut costs and focus on a wellness society.

"Reading these comments is a joke...."
---------------------------

Especially from those from the marginalized republican't party of southern, white, evangelical sore-losermen, threatening others while hiding behind their keyboards! The sickness is condoning these GREEDY for-profit insurance companies need for larger profits, larger CEO pay and bonuses -- to the tune of a 130% increase in premiums over just the past 10 years! Affordable health care died a long time ago, much like the republican't party of NO -- NO NEW IDEAS or SOLUTIONS in the 21st century -- just MORE OF THE SAME! Sorry, but America can't take it!

Propaganda all of it:

You people who support government anything makes me sick and is a disgrace to ever man and woman that gave their lives for the puck that now spews from your mouth. They fought for your freedom dumb a** not to give it all back to some entity that wants nothing more to control you sheep. Reading these comments is a joke, who gives you or anyone else the right to take another man/woman?s work to pay for your diseased, obese cancerous mouth. I WILL NOT PAY FOR YOUR LIFE STYLE. You owe me not and I owe you NOTHING. You people are so brainwashed. Ohh...yes I know I?m the dumb a** I?m sure those comments are coming. Your ignorance is appalling and is a disgrace to any free thinking person. Go head give more of your freedoms away for your security. All you people are going to do is suck the life out of the last breath of a once great county. We don?t need government health care or private heath care you all need a lobotomy to remove the indoctrination you have so willingly accepted. The insurance companies are in bed with the government already you think they will not protect the turf. Call it government or private anyone that says they are for you is only there to enslave you or bleed you dry.
God help us? NO that wasn?t an invitation for you Obama!

You want a solution: Pay for your own and quit looking for someone else to solve YOUR issues.

"We want maximized liberty, not this socialist-facist state that is evolving. Government intervention and overspending created this mess...

So keep smiling now...we'll see how big you can smile with a knife to your throat by some so-called "right winger".

------------------

HA! HA! HA! Same silly rhetoric from a BIG MOUTH sitting behind a keyboard, using the oxy-moron phrases like "socialist-fascist" to make it sound like an uneducated little school girl from the deep RED south.

Just like a foxnewsus propagandus homosapien sub-species, bringing terrorism to America through the far-rightwad terrorist extremists! You are the joke, and only your constant fearmongering and attacks make you look like the fringe extremist we have come to see from the republican'ts in the 21st century! Get a life, sore-loserman!

"But hey we all know the present system is not sustainable."

---------------

Yep....unaffordable and unsustainable as 80 million baby boomers get set to retire over the next 2 decades! Continuing to support the current health care debacle is not only ludicrous, but a sure path to bankruptcy for America with $50 Trillion in unfunded future liabilities if we don't have REAL REFORM now!

[cydygitt1]

But from all the whining from the for-profit insurance companies, we know that they are definitely afraid of losing their death grip on America's health care and their upper-hand through monied-lobbyists!

You mentioned Fairness Doctrine,Disarming the people,Nationalizing Industries, Economic Regulation, Enviromental Regulation, Government Control of the Economy,Limited Freedom of Speech on Liberal Campuses
Affirmative Action, Income Tax (nothing more than theft and involuntary servitude), The Welfare State. All those things were happing in German during the 1930,s If you read about Germany durning that period you would see even more parallels of what was happing then and what is happening today. You talk about what goes around comes around.Has someone record that time and is now playing it back.

Don't worry about reform, it won't happen. It is politically impossible as long as the monied interests (Republicans) succeed in convincing people to vote against their own interests. But hey we all know the present system is not sustainable. So it WILL collapse. And arising from the chaos will be Medicare for eveyone. Quick, easy, and easily understandable. Not the best choice but the most politically possible.
