This piece was produced in conjunction with the Huffington Post. Arthur Delaney, Huffington Post: Congressman Eric Massa (DN.Y.) led a protest Monday outside the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Washington, site of the 2009 national conference of America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), a trade group for the health insurance industry. “We are not radicals! We are not a fringe element!” shouted Massa, who opted not to use the bullhorn provided by protest organizers. “We are the 48 million Americans who …

What good is “the best medical care in the world” (and I’d like to see where people are getting that designation from) if the people of that country can’t afford it? I’ll take “the second-best medical care in the world” if its available to everyone regardless of their income. Give us single payer health care subsidized by our taxes – I will GLADLY pay an extra $100 a year if it means that all my fellow citizens get the health care they need!
Thank you Bonnie. We need all the help we can get. I’ve got a lawsuit against my insurance company. Check out California Nurses Association vidoe “Janet Stephens Real People Denied Real Health Care” on YouTube and please comment. You can also see me playing piano with my favorite guy and bassist, Brian Wright. I think you’ll find the story and hopefully the music interesting.
Okay.. that was a great video! really made ma laugh! I liked it alot! I wanna watch it over and over again now!! I t really had me laughing!
one we are not in Canada we are in the US. But you are making it like you don’t pay a penny. But tey every country that does have a national health care system pays the highest taxs.
As all as it is truely free than I’ll stand up. but that means hospitals,doctors and nurses will all have to work for free.
They do that and I’ll stand up.
Hey dingbat if you reduced the budget for the DEPT of WAR by 25% and applied the amount to pay for universal health care, everyone in the USA would be covered without raising taxes.
BULLSHIT!!! just since Obama been in office taxs have gone up on just about everything. 22 new deparments of government have been open. How are we going to pay for that,NEW TAXS!!
the governmet will charge a tax just to bring the troops home.
Re third party, I already said insurance was a third party, what’s your point?
Um, NoelleTs, the police and fire are not national programs but local. Not all localities handle then the same way. Some don’t even have them. And even if they were socialized at the national level, are you really trying to make the argument that if we have one socialized agency then we should have no objection to making any other socialized? i.e. Once we let one in, we may as well become a fully socialist country?
No kidding, Angleboot, and these people want to put the people responsible for this budget in control of healthcare? lol, the the sky is the limit! Of course the government can make it look like your health care is cheaper, they just defer the cost to your grandkid’s grandkids!
And of course, there goes the privacy of your medical records. One the government holds them they’ll never need a subpeona to get them. Oh, but right, the government never, ever, abuses their power, right?
that’s what I can’t get some to see. Local taxs are mostly for local property owners, not the whole nation. They would really be paying high taxs if the fed taxs for local fire and police. the if their local payed in more, they would still get less, after the governmnet and their “robinhood plans”.
Because they are so blinded by their ideology that facts and reasonable arguments that disagree with them don’t register with them. I saw one single payer advocate saying something like “the health care insurance industry is making 117% profit compared to 5% for the S&P”. Never mind that “117% profit” is mathematically impossible and the health care insurance profits average the same as the S&P at 5%…. You can only say something that stupid if you are blinded by your ideology.
selfishness and greed is undermining the very principles of equality that this country was founded on these selfish rants about taxes without any con
text and without a seeming understanding that some people are profiting off keeping the average joe, jane, Juan, LaToya and Mei Woo frombeing able to know that their families will be provided the necessary quality health care when their family finds themselves dealing with a health issue.
Greed and selfishness are un-American ….. We all can learn fron the European models of health care and make our own US version. Name calling is a cheap shot … and unless those people here commenting belong to the millionaire class they are being blinded to the reality of their and their neighbors health insurance empending crisis.
Uninformed men say stupid things when they do not think about community rather than their own self center needs …needs I would suggest that unless they belong to that extremely small group of wealthy people .. real wealth … will seriously affect them when they begin to deal with a health crises ans what it costs the average citizen..
jfouratt calls folks greedy and selfish and blind, then admits doing so is a cheap shot. jfouratt really says nothing, just spouts ideology. jfouratt is not really worth paying any more attention to..
How do we organize to change this?
I just wear Alex Chiu’s immortality rings and H have no health problems what so ever. No health insurance needed.
Google change single_payer
Anyone who thinks the present system is good must have never been sick, once they get sick (and it will happen) they will see just how bad the system is. Also ask any Canadian if they would switch with America.
Isn’t it funny that nobody ever mentions the Communist Terrorist State of Israel and their “wonderful” MANDATORY guvmint health care system. With their income tax rates of 50%, and NO CHOICE, who in their right, freedom loving mind would want to be treated like cattle????
The answer is easy. MORE COMPETITION
good video!
Screw the insurance companies. They are nothing short of vipers!
I’m Canadian. No Way. Good luck, USA.
