Death Panel?

As a Canadian, I WILL NOT! accept this from the USA.
I will write right away to my congress, so WE can take the step and create the Death Panel in first! Would be followed by the Death List of course... so the government could easily take care of criminals directly from governmental services and make more space for our prisons.

I trust MY government! Damn you Americans!
PS: Karl Marx FTW! I lob you, call me k?

Why vote this down?

Don`t like the fuckin` truth? This is what the reality is, there are millions of your fuckin` fellow Americans out there unable to be covered.

I`m amongst them. I`m not a fucking bum on the street. And at the moment I`m without a job. Which is fuckin` fine, because I didn`t have health care BEFORE anyways. So here I am, hoping I`m not going to get hurt.

I need this health care. Nobody right now is willing to help me. Capitalism is telling me to shove it up my ass at the moment. Stop with the bullshit and face the reality. If you really want to argue this the above show tells you what the REAL sticking point is.

@ red heaven,

There`s little to no capitalism in health care today in the states. How do I know? Well when was last time you heard a doctor says "try this, it might be cheaper."

This video needs a warning for people that don`t want to hear facts, and just want to yell Hitler until desperately needed health care reform is killed or congress men start getting killed. This could fuck some of them up.

Flynn, I don`t know how Bunny Health Insurance is over there in Bunny Land, but over here it doesn`t work.

There`s little to no capitalism in health care currently? Then the Insurance companies are actually doing it out of charity? Yeah, I`m sure they`re in this because too much money in our pockets might be bad for our feet eh? What about Insurance CEO salaries of 3.2 million bucks like Stephen Hemsley?

You know he bought a house that`s worth $7.8 MILLION dollars? Each of the NINE rooms is worth $86,000!

People down here where I live can buy a FUCKING HOUSE FOR THAT MUCH.

My own friend just got married, has a kid, and another on the way and his job`s health care won`t pay for anything but emergency health care. Hundreds of people DIE EVERY YEAR because they WAIT and WAIT until their conditions reach critical. A simple checkup could have saved many lives, but health care won`t pay for it. There are even some conditions they won`t pay for at all.

When $1 out of every $700 spent in health care goes to ONE man we have a fucking problem. But he`s makin` bank, and people are dying.

There is a god damn problem here. Fucking face it.

sure the NHS in britain isnt perfect but at least if i get sick or injure myself, i know i wont be in the unfortunate position of not being able to pay for it.

P.S do these redneck retards even know what marxism and socialsim actually is or are they still thinking theyre living in the cold war?

Amazing to me that when a babbling idiot says his imaginary friend told him it`s a good Idea to drop bombs on Iraqi children Americans couldn`t find enough flags to wrap themselves in. Now that an articulate black man is trying to give them free health care that will actually prevent the country from going into a deep debt, they`re yelling Hitler and Socialism. All while having no objections to socialized police, firemen, mail and schools.

^ Police and fireman is a different matter. Fire and crime are the not interest of any property. A house left by itself, cannot put out fire and fend off robbery. Thereby in order to maintain property right on something that is absolutely can`t protect itself the community usually pay a fee to hire people against fire and crime thus property tax different depends on the local government. Human health on the other hand is entirely the responsibility of its owner. Someone should decide whether he should work and use the money to smoke for example, is entirely his provocative. There is no lost of value to anyone else but himself whether he dies or lives despite his life style.

@red heaven,
don`t confuse profit with capitalism. Insurance companies are scums, they lobbied to your government to "reduce competition." Call your congressman now and ask, why you can`t get insurance across the state line.

@Red Haeven

More than hundreds die because of lack of sufficient health care. 18,000 (some say as many as 26,000) die every year in America as a direct result of not having health care, that means that in the last 8 years about 50 times as many people, or more, died because they couldn`t afford health care than from 9/11 in America. Bush illegally invaded 2 countries, destroyed the 4th-6th amendments, committed war crimes and violated the Geneva convention to "keep us safe", but we can`t be bothered to fix health care.

^ That`s scary stuff. Doctors don`t care about the cost anymore because insurance companies make sure their practice will never go away, hence decent people suffer for lack of choices. There is no negative outcome for doctors either, why should they care about their patient`s pocket.

p.s If everyone pays the doctor with their own money on the other hand, the system will be on the consumers side.

Well there is a negative if a doctor ends up getting sued. Doctors in America practice defensive medicine and have to always deal with the fact when they wake up in the morning that everything they`ve worked for in medical school can all be taken away because of a malpractice suit.

^ It`s no surprise that lawyers can go through law school only to be an expert in medical field. Everyone wants a share of the pie. Even the parasitic class AKA the lawyers. You think doctor invented the term "inoperable" because some disease is actually inoperable or is it because if the doctor actually tries to save the patient and probably get sued.

I agree with Flynn

Healthcare is too socialized at the moment, and that is the problem.

Obama is confusing people by tricking them into thinking that Capitalism is the problem, when there is barely any capitalism in healthcare.

The best way to go about healthcare reform is to invite more price competition into the market.

More competition always equals better products at lower prices.
