TYT, You sir are a retard, Health care plan will destroy private health care. Who is paying you to say this crap, Your a sell out.
You belong in France. TYT is for Socialists. You scum bags will never get the public option because we are not socialists and will never be socialists.

What point are you …
What point are you trying to make? Outside of showing yourself as a pseudo-intellectual with a head full of misfiring synapses that is. I don’t think you really know yourself.

Has everyone forgot …
Has everyone forgot about the progressive lobbyists that push this healthcare plan? Most of the citizens that support this plan can’t tell you how much of our current annual spending we BORROW! Also, does anyone remember the other 4 times universal healthcare plan was proposed in Congress. (Hint: Fist 2 times, this was from KNOWN Socialists).
Oh, and I am a PRIVATE CITIZEN, not a insurance lobbyists. I have a finance education, I actually know history, and I can think logically.

Does anyone else …
Does anyone else remember why they so quickly retracted the offer of 1.5% reduction by year? It was because of the outrage of proposing to cut the Medical loss ratio. Basically denial to pay for the health care policy holders paid for. It would force possibly tens of thousands of Americans into bankruptcy due to overwhelming medical expenses. This was fought against by mortgage companies, I suppose a few senators had some objections as if that mattered.

When an insurance …
When an insurance company talks about cutting medical care costs. They are talking about denying medical payment for policy holders. They are not talking about reducing profits. Corporations have a legal obligation to increase profits for shareholders wherever possible. They can go to jail if they don’t in a worst case scenario. They say in Cenk’s quote “reducing health care spending” Not reduce company profits or administration costs. I don’t think Cenk knows what he is saying in this vid.

I wonder if Cenk …
I wonder if Cenk knows how health insurance companies cut health care costs? The largest and most popular way is by cutting down what is called the “medical loss ratio”. What is that? Basically it is the portion of policy holders premiums that is used to pay for medical care. When you make a medical claim that is what they pay the hospital/doctor with. The only way to cut this cost is to deny coverage of medical care or to cancel policies on a technicality.

we dont need health …
we dont need health care reform as much as we need good paying jobs for the people so they can afford health care.lot of people working 3 min wage jobs part time with no health care.we need to quit shipping our jobs to china and start paying the people enough they can live!!!just look at the mess the govt has made of social security and worker comp.what u want to have a attorney just to get health care too?
bo stinks and so do his bigger goverment ideas.we need to vote all these jokers out.

You know what… …
You know what… insurance companies and the medical industry. They worship money and have no interest in your health. They want to keep you on drugs and take all your money. you all.

It is kind of …
It is kind of amazing some “people” think health costs are like buying a car or any other commercial proposition (eg: all the insurance co-sponsored posts on Youtube by varying “people”). You can plan to buy a car or a house: it’s your own responsibility and your money allocation–but you can’t plan a medical affliction. Not the same. I simply note one anti-health plan person on Ytube had her two fave videos as a) a revolver shooting into a tank, and b) a clip of Milton F’man on “Greed”. True!!

Great. Now we’re getting somewhere. Since you aren’t afforded the arena of a town hall meeting where you can get in my face and shout me down, I am curious. What is a reasonable cap to put on YOUR eyesight then?
April 2nd, 2010 at 12:08 am
I’m suggesting …
I’m suggesting legislation to scrutinize the validity of these malpractice lawsuits, so that the frivolous ones don’t go anywhere. Putting some reasonable caps on malpractice lawsuits would also be a good idea. Call me crazy, but when a doctor would have to perform a thousand operations perfectly to make the money just to pay for a single, minor mistake, something is clearly wrong. Nobody needs $15 million for slight pain from an operation.
April 2nd, 2010 at 12:08 am
Are you suggesting …
Are you suggesting some sort of blanket caps then? That is totally insulting, and it does not allow judges to do their jobs.You are leaving the judges out of the equation too.How about jurors? Maybe we should hold the jurors accountable and do away with that system. Any defense of the current carny-run scheme where insurance companies have entire call centers dedicated to denying coverage is obscene, but I would expect as much from those who see the world strictly in erms of dollar signs.

You are ignoring …
You are ignoring the real bastards – I have not said anything regarding blaming the doctors except if they do indeed screw up – not anything “frivolous” unless you consider certain things frivolous, but I’ll give you the benefit of a doubt as to your common sense. My biggest gripes are actually with the insurance companies and the politicians in their pockets, but I’m sorry-I’m not going to roll over and let doctors get away with seriously screwing up.
April 2nd, 2010 at 12:08 am
How ignorant can …
How ignorant can you be? Malpractice attourneys make millions from frivolous lawsuits. HALF of your doctor bill is to pay for malpractice insurance, and the other half pays for the doctor, nurses, clerical staff, medical equipment, etc. Doctors aren’t getting rich, only these worthless lawyers and their clients are. Reducing these lawsuits will DIRECTLY reduce the cost of healthcare. But please, just downrate my post and pretend lawyers are good people. Lawyer obama will thank you.

Fortunately, the …
Fortunately, the American people have been blessed with the internet, and are paying close attention to politics and government, as opposed to even twelve short years ago, when it seemed most were in a coma on such issues. That is why Obama won the last election and why the GOP is the bed. The old tactics of lying and pulling numbers out of your aren’t going to work. The people just aren’t going to fall for every problem being solved by throwing more money at millionaires.

Once again – …
Once again – Totally relying on strictly numbers. – Three deaths from unnecessary surgery are too many. The point is, are the doctors who caused these deaths supposed to be able to walk away scott free then? Are you a doctor, an insurance company exec, or just a Republican?
April 2nd, 2010 at 12:08 am
J.A.M.A:”The report …
J.A.M.A:”The report apparently shows there are 2,000 deaths/year from unnecessary surgery; 7000 deaths/year from medication errors in hospitals; 20,000 deaths/year from other errors in hospitals; …..” you cut out the post op complications, and drug side effects that number holds no weight, even there source says “Experts estimate that a staggering 98,000 people die from preventable medical errors each year.” that was a fabricated number.

Let’s try because just this morning NBC announced that a mere 200,000 people DIE in the U.S. from medical ups-Of course,since it didn’t come from Fox,most right-wing turds will say that story is fabricated.I am just so -Tom Harkin was a victim of this new shouting tactic at his town hall meeting by people who aren’t doctors,but were taking their marching orders from the insurance industry, preventing any real discussion.Meanwhile, the company where I work is ditching our coverage.

One question are you 5 years old? i come in post on a video and get attacked and called names, while trying state facts, there are other mean taking care of the problem, like tax cuts for people who buy there own insurance allow 2000$ a year to cover the cost, that way where not printing more and more money and making the value of the $ tank, its already limping with the spending thats going on, another trillion in paper would make it worth less than the paper its on

I am no fan of ambulance chasers either, but when someone receives such incompetency that they are disabled, blinded, maimed, you can’t tell me that they should just be allowed to not be culpable. The yellow pages are full of doctors (lawyers too – I don’t know which has the most real estate there) – not all of them are outstanding, and a few of them had to be at the lower end of their class. Anyway-You are right, lawyers need to be reigned in, but not at the expense of public safety either.

If I hear another right wing turd insinuate that I do not”work for my money” I am going to vomit!!!!
April 2nd, 2010 at 12:08 am
Really??? show me …
Really??? show me something where someone lost there leg within the last 10 year from a rotor cup operation?
Im sorry for being a right winger but i like to work for my money, i don’t believe you should be able to use the system to get money for free. thats about cutting out the people who have no real reason to sue and stop the “slip-n-fall” lawers.
and in my eyes Marion Mitchell Morrison was the foundation of what Americans should be.
