Before he was even the Democratic nominee for President, Barack Obama was an advocate for single payer health care. Now that he has been elected President, Obama has switched his position on single payer health care, most likely because the corporations have finally caught with him. The fight for single payer universal health care is not dead. Democratic Senator Max Baucus Baucus received $183750 from health insurance companies and $229020 from drug companies in the last two election cycles.

@psuedohippie55 Of course Hillary came back.. shes not a Canadian citizen and already has a doctor in america and probably Medicare. They have very inexpensive healthcare in Canada. I know many people who will go to Canada/Mexico regularly to get healthcare. i love how you people are recycling our criticism of your party during the bush era. seriously… you guys think you’re doing your homework by listening to people like Glenn Beck? your just blindly following your party as before.
And your country isn’t? *LOL* America Jr.
your country is run by corporations…….
Obama is a coward
prove it
all you’vedone is say things
you won’t give us proof
I HAVE done my homework
all you do is bash me and tell me I’m stupid
just shut up you kool-aid drinking idiot
oh and CANADIANS FLOCK TO AMERICA TO GET HEALTH CARE NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!!!!
hell, you can ask Hillary Clinton
when she went to canada, se got sick and CAME BCK TO AMERICA TO GET HELP!
what’s that say about your precious health care!
I have proof from a Canadian! she told O”reily that it DOESNT WORK! there’s proof
Again you do not do your homework either. They will give a hundred year old person cardio surgery. Please investigate things. Don’t just fear monger, or let others fear monger you. My brother in law and sister in law live there and have no problems, by the way they said that was bs also. look things up, get online with people from that area and talk to them. Listen to what they have to say before you go spewing lies.
@ darrellmillissa- americans flock to canada for health care.
it works well?
BULL SHIT
in England, oif you’re over 59, you WILL NOT get NAY procedure for your heart
yeah that works so well
and they’re breast cancer survival rat is WELL below that of America
iit works very well
if you never get sick
how is this pointless?!?!?!
because it proves the man is a liar?
so every other speech Obama has ever made is pointless to
at lest according to your logic
Lor, being 26 and a product of our public school system, I will forgive you for your socilist beliefs.
Yeah,right. That must be the reason they flock heer when they need something more serious than a asprin.
Do you do any type of research, or even read, or do you enjoy saying things that aren’t right. When it comes to industrial countries we are in 37th place, no where near first, when it comes to life expectencey it is even worse. Take a little time to do some research, don’t be a sheep or cattle and be herded by others. Don’t just listen to people research it yourself, it is better doing your own homework.
It is already the best, if its not broke dont fix it
Actually if you would learn to interpret I didn’t say for us to be like cuba, I said if Cuba could do it then we can. I would prefer to change the U.S. to a better country!
You want us to be like Cuba,, Perhaps you should migrate there.
That’s bull. It didn’t take England ten to twenty years to switch over to single payer, which works very well there by the way. It also works well in France and Canada and even Cuba. If Cuba can do it America certainely can too.
And he’s not for doing it now. He’s said quite a few times that putting it into place now would be too disruptive. He’s an open advocate for it, but not for the US any time soon.
another pointless video
The only problem, 0bama says, is that we are not starting from scratch. So, as 0bama says, it will take 10 – 20 years to get to his single payer plan. That is the time it will take to dissolve all of the insurance companies and have the government run another failed system.
Hawii tried State-run healthcare and it did not work. People paying ins. companies switched to cheaper state coverage. Ins. companies were going out of business and the state could not afford all those who signed up. This plan was revoked after 7 months. If it will not work on the state level, why would it work on the national level?
Well today, he said he was NOT for single payer healthcare plan (Govco plan)
PrezBO(MackDaddy) is a bold faced liar! He tries to worm his way out of it, but we can see through it Mr MackDaddy and you know it!
Mandating that everybody do anything is not right wing. That’s the left’s sick fantasy for a US turning away from the intent of it’s founding.
It’s easy to see the true intent of this thing, as more effective -bipartisan alternatives that explicitly forbid gov’t control are excoriated by the far left media. Then they blame Limbaugh of all people, who only influences the party in the minority, whose support they don’t need!
“tax breaks have negative far-reaching tong-term consequences”
Absolutely false. Tax breaks for businesses allow them to hire more people, which get them off the tax-payer funded dole and into the market, spending money.
Wouldn’t it also then be a relief on business if they didn’t have to PAY their employees? (or would that finally be enough fascism to disgust you?) Good health plans are a perk employers use to attract talent, not a burden. If they don’t want to, they don’t.
A tax break is not the only way to relieve a business of burden. Let’s face facts: tax breaks have negative far-reaching tong-term consequences. Tort reform isn’t going to solve anything. All “tort reform” will due is crack down on a patient’s right to seek restitution for poor medical care.
If a business no longer has to provide its employees with health coverage (no company WANTS to do that anyway. That’s why we’re talking about health care in the first place), that business is relieved.
“A government healthcare system finded by confiscated tax money” is not what Barack Obama is proposing in the first place. The health care plan being considered in Congress right now simply would prevent insurance companies from denying coverage for pre-existing conditions and mandate that everybody be covered, or more people than are covered now. The plan is very much right-wing
It’s striking that a main point of controversy is the “public option,” which would be the only “government” system

mntlPurple is right. you say in this video that senator max baucus receives money from pharmas….. yes and so does pretty much the entire republic party and in higher amount. You are being told what to think by your party which works for the best interest of the pharmas. don’t you see that this health care reform creates competition (the basis of capitalism) and frees us from the pharmas?
