Obama's "Public" Health Care Plan

[bk94si]

Are you proud that we rank (quality in healthcare) far behind in the world? I think our rank is 32, pretty bad for the "greatist" country in the world.

1. I don't believe that ranking.
2. How are they coming up with that ranking? What factors are they looking at?
3. Our nation, because of our prosperity, has extremely high obesity rates. Was that taken into account?
4. Some countries have a racial background that means higher longevity regardless of health care. Was that taken into account?56. Does that mean you think the government will not only lower healthcare costs and improved services but will also make us live longer? Sorry, I don't have that kind of faith in the government when you look at Medicare and VA hospitals.

The WHO health care ranking talking point he is trying to regurgitate is as accurate as the 48 gazillion uninsured number that's making a the rounds again. Both numbers fall flat when exposed to light of day. Look had enough and I'm sure you'll find a "hockey stick" in there somewhere.

Infant mortality, average age @ death, quality of care, are just a few of the factors that go into the ranking.

We have a high obesity rate not because of prosperity, but because of the fast food industry, we eat like pigs and we choose the wrong foods.

Nations with UHC also pay their doctors bonuses for getting people to give up their bad habits, unlike here, they practise preventitive medicine, not just come out with a new pill for everything under the sun. The medical world here doesn't want you healthy. They want profit, which means covering up the problem with a pill, not preventing the illness. Don't you watch the ads for theses meds, the side-effects are usually worse then the problem they are "curing".

^^^ funny some folks think the U.S. government can run an efficient health care system. The government doesn't run ANYTHING efficiently.

Even if the uninsured # is indeed flawed, SO WHAT???

What if it were 200 people out of the whole country that are uninsured.
Are they not entitled to health care?

Im trying to figure out if you would say the same thing a year ago when your idols were in office

It's obvious that the private sector can't, healthcare costs here are more per capita than any other industrialized nation on earth.


The United States ranks dead last on almost all measures of equity because we have the greatest disparity in the quality of care given to richer and poorer citizens. Americans with below-average incomes are much less likely than their counterparts in other industrialized nations to see a doctor when sick, to fill prescriptions or to get needed tests and follow-up care.

SO.. perhaps our elected officials should stop knowingly using flase numbers to ph33r mong3r people into adopting their agenda. It's called lying. It's a bad thingy.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

I do not recall "health care" being promised in there anywhere. Maybe you could point it out to me:

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

Ya.. cuz us repug drones were really in lockstep with the hive over immigration.. spending and a slew of other issues we had with the last administration.

Unlike how you Obammites are so critical of the messiah.

By whose ranking system are we dead last?

And you know for a fact thats its a lie based on?

Umm,what do you think the word life means?

Ah, the old Life, Liberty, Pursuit, arguement. Gee, scoot, what was healthcare like back when that was written? leeches, wooden teeth, sawing off limbs, etc.

Doesn't it also say Provide for the general welfare?

the numerous studies that shredded it at the time it was released. Do a search, we have discussed it before in detail right here in TLR.

Lots of things under the "life" definition. The words "gubberment run health care" are not among them.

life

Huh?Immigration?

You are inferring if ol GW had proposed what Bamma is shoveling we repugs would be singing a different tune. The facts say otherwise. Were we in lockstep when GW tried to ram "comprehensive immigration reform" down our throats? Were we happy with his spending like a drunken sailor? Nope.. and we were vocal about our opposition also.

I love my health care provider I DONT WANT government in my health care business.

The private sector sure is better than the alternative.The government controls the VA and medicare/medicaid and if that's any indication of how they plan on running health care they can shove it straight up their Ass. I qualify for VA health care and will never ever, ever use it. Like I said they "DON'T RUN ANYTHING EFFICIENTLY" foolish to think our government can do any better than the other failed socialist models around the world. You may be COOL with getting to keep 25 cents outta every dollar you make but I am not COOL with that. This health care plan is going to cost TOO damn much money we and our kids and their kids DONT have the money or NEVER will HAVE enough to pay for this economical power grab.

We are dead last in equality of healthcare between rich and poor. Reading is FUNdemental.

Guess what, you can keep them if you want. Germany has UHC and private insurance and it works fine there.

I love the repug arguement that the gov't will be between you and your doctor, right now the insurance company is the one telling you how much help you'll get and you don't seem to mind.

Fast food is a result of prosperity. They don't have too many McDonalds in Afghanistan or New Guinea because few can afford to pay for it. Having money does not make people wise.
