If the U.S. has the best medical system in the world, then why can’t I receive medical treatment for my condition? Why am I begging private organizations like NORD for money in order to have them handle my copays and pray they have the funding? I am disabled, making $8000 a year and would like to work part time. No. Why? Because my copay is $2000 a year and that’s if the insurance company and providers all line up just right with the stars. Screw this system. It stinks.

I do not have healthcare coverage -not because I can’t afford it. I’m young, healthy and am making an economic decision to pay towards an education which will get me a job WITH HEALTH BENEFITS. I have choice and I have incentive. Why would they try to take that away from me?
I think it’s wrong to take away my right to choose whether I need healthcare or not and whether I could like to pay for it or not.

Dr. Anne Doig, the incoming president of the Canadian Medical Association, said her countrys health care system is sick and imploding, the Canadian Press reported.

Do you think you might listen to her? We all agree the system is imploding, we all agree that things are more precarious than perhaps Canadians realize, she said.

Canada is returning to private care.

The US is the richest nation on Earth, yet millions of people don’t have health care insurance. If your mother, or grandmother, sister, brother, husband or wife was sick and dying and you knew that the medicine or treatment to save them exists but that you just can’t afford it, how would you feel?

The US has the best health-care in the world, best modern treatments in medicine and surgeries. Canada’s HC system is on the verge of “imploding”. The incoming president of the Canadian Medical Association says this countrys health-care system is sick. Canada is in the process of switching back to Private Care.

File under: ObamaCare of the Future.

Nothing at all! The system works perfectly! What is fun is how “Fear of Socialism” is so deeply ingrained in the American culture that they will actually fight reform that would defend their own interest… George Orwell, where are you?

The NHS is excellent, despite the “Postcode Lottery”. As a student in the UK for a year, I got ALL my medical needs covered, with appointments taken within 24 hours and one emergency situation I had responded to within 10 minutes. Everyone! I would strongly suggest you call a friend in the UK, and ask them how it is before condemning something people defending their profits call socialism. Next thing you know, they’ll call it terrorism. Oh, they’ve already had: Death panels they said it was!

Never having produced it does not mean it cannot work.

When you consider other government actions, In fact, apparently fire departments are working pretty well, just like police.

We should realise here that there is a lot of pressure from the lobbies NOT to change something that has been making the health insurance industry rich over the last two years. Wake up, people and defend your interests! French would destitute their government if they removed the public heatlh funding!

Obama and the Socialist takover

You want “Single Payer” ? The US Government has never produced a successful entitlement ever, do you think it will get this complex life or death issue right,

NO GOVERNMENT OPTION

I suggest that the White House and all members of Congress hold some kind of press conference or major event and have an official signup with the new health plan.

That way, Americans can all see for themselves that the plan is good for EVERYBODY!

I hope you like my idea

There never were any death panels. It’s impossible to take out that which was never in there.

Thanks but you can keep the misinformation to yourself.

There is depth of thought on both sides of the argument, but there is no room for the misinformation thats out there.

And the Managed care that Palin called Death Panels is still part of the legislation.

And stop hiding behind the word socialism, it looks weak.

A Government Option regarding health care is very bad for Americans because all roads lead to Socialized medical system. Obama supports a “Single Payer System” like they have in Canada, the health care in Canada is sub par and imploding says top Canadian health care officials. If you want to give all Americans HC you will need to make Insurance companies compete state to state you will need tort reform to stop frivolous lawsuits against Docs that will drop HC costs dramatically. NO GOVERNMENT OP

All Insurance CEOs HAVE EXCELLENT HEALTH COVERAGE & can afford it. AGREED?

All Senators HAVE EXCELLENT HEALTH COVERAGE & can afford it. AGREED?

All Senators are covered by a PUBLIC OPTION PLAN but THEY dont want YOU to have a PUBLIC OPTION PLAN !!

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE ??

Only in the USA would an uninformed Consumer protest against REFORM & PUBLIC OPTION and in doing so PROTEST AGAINST HIS OWN BEST INTEREST!!

WHO BENEFIT ? ? NOT YOU

Conservatives Now Outnumber Liberals in All 50 States, Says Gallup Poll
Monday, August 17, 2009

Palin spoke out about the death panels and Obama took them out. Reagan Conservatives believe the Government option must be removed from healthcare reform or all roads lead to Socialism, Sarah Palin is an honorable, honest voice for real America. Conservatives are deep considerate thinkers from all walks of American life, the shallow, narrow minded selfish liberal ideology is sinking w/ Socialism.

hellotommy: “Socialism: You have..”

We have one huge cow right now, called private health care providers, spends $40 billion to kill the health care reform bill, pay $1 billion as a stock option to the CEO beside $3.2 million and it’s just one company.
Cow demands average 13% premium increase each year.

To dems and Obama: Fix Medicare and Medicaid (what you are responsible for today) and then maybe we can trust you with the entire system. It is arrogance beyond belief that you believe you can change something so important, so complex, and so huge all at once. Take this in steps, steps that we can understand.
“A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man, which debt he proposes to pay off with your money.”

NO PUBLIC OPTION

You know nothing of the systm involved. All contribute for the greater good of the whole country in taxes. NOT vulgar and OTT insurance. Our system of care puts yours to shame, ask any lucky Americans who got ill in the UK. Handouts! Why not actually find out the facts. Obama just hates the inequality in a backward society.

A national health service is a very good thing. However the issue of not getting treatment in good time is being raised as an issue. This problem in the UK is known as the post code lottery and without this in my opinion, the NHS would be perfect. I dont need to pay for insurance and I can rest easy knowing that if I ever fall ill, I am always entitled to treatment. Your government is there to look after you, dont ignore them.
