In less than 90 seconds the new video highlights the upside-down priorities of Oregons Medicaid system. Lobbying groups have used the political process to push health reform for special-interest causes like substance abuse and weight loss treatment ahead of treatments for some kinds of cancer on the priority list.

“It’s called …
“It’s called solidarity…”
Really? Sweden lost Malmo to a bunch a backwards, hatemongering Muslim fanatics and your government arrests people who speak out against them and YOU have the gawl to claim moral highground of solidarity? you Libtard. Your country is rotting from the inside out. You have no solidarity.
Everyone, youtube Search:
Malmo
Sweden Multiculturalism
Notice, I didn’t say type Sweden and Islam. You don’t need to. The Libtards of Sweden destroyed everything.
Anybody else …
Anybody else appreciate the irony of Obambi pointing out that “sure, Fed-Ex and UPS provide better service but the USPS is STILL around, even though it provides lousy service”????
So this should make us ALL want the same government morons in charge there to rule in matters of healthcare????
Feebleminded sheep ….. Lowest Common Denominator for ALL.
Plenty of room on that government bus !!!!
Savings, he writes, …
Savings, he writes, will require changing how doctors think about their patients: Doctors take the Hippocratic Oath too seriously, “as an imperative to do everything for the patient regardless of the cost or effects on others” (Journal of the AMA, 6/ 18/ 2008).

Could it maybe be …
Could it maybe be because many of those countries have DECADES worth of extra money available because the US provided an umbrella shielding them from the USSR so they were able to devote the surplus to pampering themselves????
Maybe also because …
Maybe also because they don’t do squat even now toward developing and researching NEW medical technologies because companies in the EVIL old capitalist US carry that load???.
Countries and individuals who are smug and complacent because they get to drink from “wells dug by others” are contemptable (or maybe just liberals—but I repeat myself).
Whipper is typical …
Whipper is typical liberal fare – “the populace’s rational selfish interest” – in other words – the nanny state knows what is best for all you rednecks in the fly over states.
By the way Whipper, don’t try and pretend like you have any understanding of a capitalism or Rand by twisting her words to fit your confused argument for ObamaCare.
There are many …
There are many solutions available to reform healthcare. Why is it the radical socialist loons always want the government to take over? Why, in their twisted communist mentality, is the government nanny state always the first and best solution? When in fact, it is proven to be the route of failure and an unproductive repressive society.
Don’t take my word for it, try going in to get your drivers license renewed. Not a lot of rocket science required in this matter.
A large portion of …
A large portion of the working ppl in the U.K. are also DEPENDENT on their gov. run healthcare JOB! You’ve created a monster that will never be slayed!
Blah-blah-blah….. …
Blah-blah-blah……BULLSHIT!
Ppl want the gov. out of their lives,PERIOD!
Taking over healthcare will disrupt everyones lives.Reform of some sort is needed. Obama has FAILED in explaining any portion of the current bill,maybe because he doesn’t have a clue as to what’s in it!
If it could be …
If it could be objectively determined that having socialized medicine were in the populace’s rational selfish interest, might there then be a moral ground for it? If it could be shown that a truly free market system were wasteful and economically inefficient and that socialized medicine made sense, might there then be a moral ground for it? What if, in reality, it’s impossible for people to keep from initiating physical force as a result of an objective metaphysical shortage of resources?
It’s too bad the …
It’s too bad the cartoon didn’t explain why the U.S. is spending about 17% of its GDP on health care while tens of millions of Americans go uninsured or under-insured and while the rest of the populace lives in terror of losing insurance coverage or having it rescinded when it’s needed.
Perhaps the Independence Institute can explain why other first world nations are able to cover everyone for a much lower percentage of their GDP while often having more doctors per capita.
Why would anyone …
Why would anyone want INSURANCE COMPANIES making decisions for patients and getting in the way of patients and their doctors?
What about CEO-appointed Death Panels at private insurance companies? Why didn’t the cartoon show an insurance company CEO in a gold-plated room rescinding a cancer patient’s insurance policy for failure to cross a T on the application with the patient dying as a result?
Since Sweden is so …
Since Sweden is so nice and that “we are all humans” then why doesn’t Sweden put more money into helping poorer countries? or better yet, why not pay for the United Nation budget instead of the U.S. paying the most? After all, isn’t the U.N. a good thing? PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS SWEDEN!! Next time there is a disaster somewhere in the world, SWEDEN! tell the U.S. that you’ll take care of it and that the U.S. should take the backseat cuz Sweden will handle it!!
im sorry right but …
im sorry right but i live in uk and our health system is good enough we get and all most those things they say arent covered are. yes the u.s has a bigger population but that makes it easier because we get a slight increase in out tax to pay for nhs and with extra people it gonna be easier the only people who dont want it are people who can afford tom pay thousands for private healthcare
Sweden: a …
Sweden: a population of under ten million, 82% of whom are Swedes. Must be “nice”.
We’re 350 million. We’re white (Swede, Italian, etc., etc.). We’re black (African, African-American, etc., etc.). We’re Hispanic (Mexican, Cuban, etc., etc.). We’re Asian (Chinese, Filipino, etc., etc.). We’re Indian (Hindu, Muslim, etc., etc.). We’re Middle and Near Easterners (Persian, Arab, etc., etc.). We’re Native American (Hopi, Navajo, etc., etc.). Can you see our “solidarity” problems now?
Emanuel, however, …
Emanuel, however, believes that “communitarianism” should guide decisions on who gets care. He says medical care should be reserved for the non-disabled, not given to those “who are irreversibly prevented from being or becoming participating citizens . . . An obvious example is not guaranteeing health services to patients with dementia” (Hastings Center Report, Nov.-Dec. ‘96).

this must be the worst propaganda film i have ever seen.
sweden has state govern healthcare and it works realy nice, i live there.
May i ask the people against this reform one thing?
-Why should only those who can pay for healthcare get it? Isnt all humans worth saving ?
In sweden we think all humans should get halethcare even if you can not pay for it. Its called solidarity… the once who can pay help out. We live in a society and there for need to help eatchother, we are all humans.

What does Bush have to do with rampant teenage pregnancy and a 75% high school drop out rate in Detroit?
Detroit was destroyed under Coleman Young. Never in the history of city politics have so few taken so much from so many.
You need to stop drinking the take care of me nanny state Koolade.
Hey Detroit – are …
Hey Detroit – are you insane or do you just enjoy being a kept human? What is the concept you can’t seem to grasp here? The vast majority of Americans don’t want to be taken care of by the government.
Everyone knows the unions (read left) destroyed the big 3.
Companies don’t survive and prosper in a free market with “help.” They survive because they make a product or deliver a service people want.
Maybe you meant ” …
Maybe you meant “Thanks to OBAMA taking $ from us TAXPAYERS “the big three did not liquidate.”"
a / But GM WENT INTO BANKRUPTCY.
b/ Obama fires CEO’s & sets exec pay, which is GOVT COLLUSION with business, which is the CLASSIC definition of fascism. (read some history).
c/ Obama & Obama voters and campaign donors = THIEVES.

The Big three are not in this situation because ofthe”lefties.” In fact, the “Lefties” are the ones helping the auto industry.

Thirty years of …
Thirty years of Leftist politics ruined Detriot. When outsiders tried to help they were attacked as white interlopers. The hatemongering racists of the Left that run Detroit bear the responsibility of its current condition.
Bush was a ty president, but Detriot is the Left’s problem.
Exactly, whats …
Exactly, whats really ironic is the Healthcare/Pharma fat cats (that make 10-30 million per year) are hiring the lobbyists that are fooling the uneducated unhealthy obese masses to be their pawns in order to stop them from getting the Public Health Care option that all other civilized nations offer by linking it to anti-Americanism.
