Groups protest health insurance heavyweights

Some college or high school teacher giving out false info somewhere? Or a book published and not edited with an eye to acurrate information?
My daughter had a history teacher that was teaching misinformation at high school level.. And of course he was tenured. She continued to enlighten him throughout the school year with multiple examples of accurate info. He tried to slip her a C for the course. She called him on it. And he had to admited she had earned an A+.

V, stick to your day job. Such amateur analysis is leading you to false conclusions that you feel the insidious need to share. All treaties must be ratified by Congress to become the law, not just a signature by some rep o the Executive branch. So funny.

No President, including Carter or Clinton, has even bother to send the UDHR to the Senate. It wouold be DOA, like your analysis.

Vierotchka, the info you quoted is not in the United States of America Constitution. It is from the UN or UNESCO constitution. Before the constitution can be changed every state must ratify it. The only rights we have are the 'right to life, liberty and the persuit of happiness'.
I've looked through my Declaration of Independence, The Constitution of the United States of America and the Bill of rights and don't see those you mention in their contents..

I have a problem with letting our wasteful government run my healthcare.
Yes, I think the majors insurance system is running rampant. But neither one is the right answer. If each one of us was responsible regarding our own health care the costs would come down.
See the Bargaining down healthcare blog.
That's a start. Government won't fix it. It screwed everything up with Diagnostic Related Group's in the 80's.
It'll take a major change in us, the people, to fix the system. Check out the government run veterans care.

What I wouldn't give for a real discussion on health care.
I mean a give and take and perhaps a solution.
Or two solutions. Or three. I don' tlike the mudslinging either.

DouginLA, another brain washed idiot spouting right wing hand book disinformation about Canada's healthcare system. Quit your fucking lying asshole and try and understand this, 68% of American's want single payer healthcare system or universal healthcare. We won the election and it's time for your ilk to leave my country and live somewhere else if you don't like democracy.

LOL this is yet another post by people who think the government and the country owe them something. Nowhere in the US Constitution does it promise healthcare. To scream for socialized medicine is to beg for mediocrity. All men are not created equal society just tries to force them to be. The United States is not a welfare state and it does not need to be one. The tools are there for everyone in this country to live a healthy, happy and productive life. If you are to lazy to go out and do so that is your fault and it is not my job to take care of you. If you do not like it, move to Canada and see why so many of them come to the US for medical care.

The only people that will be able to get coverage will be a list of very healthy, never had a thing wrong with them, individuals. PRE EXISTING CONDITION is the operative term. I would also want to open an insurance company if all I had to insure were 10 year olds who never even had the flu.
BP normal stats were 120/80. They changed it to 110/70. This means that anyone who thought they were :"normal" could easily switch insurance and get turned down.
It all started going bad with Health South. After many scandals and collusion issues, they now claim to be honest and upright.
If there is one more thing that gets to survive putting profit over life, we won't have much left. It's quite sad.
When you go to a surgical center that is owned by the doctor who sent you there...well that could be a bit sticky. Or not.
As most things, it is difficult to find the root cause of anything. Too much information and little factual evidence that can be pieced together for a common good solution.
Yes, he needed surgery. And you know what? The cost of the surgery and the cost of the doctor's new kitchen remodel were EXACTLY the same. Amazing how well it worked out.

Give em' HELL!
We in America pay the MOST for the LEAST!
Lets get with the program my fellow Americans!. The 48 million without health insurance cost the system up to twice as much as if they were covered by a national plan. These people crowd the emergency rooms with their non-emergency ailments while the rest of us pay considerably more in premiums to compensate for the difference.

What uttely silly nonsense!

Medicare and Medicaid cover the elderly, the very poor, and the disabled; the people most likely to need healthcare. The insurance industries are left with the remaining healthiest portion of Americans and THEY STILL CAN'T FUCKING DO IT.

Nationalized healthcare is the only answer.

Health insurance providers, thats a joke they are health care insurance deniers and they are pigs profiting from others medical needs. It's time to throw these people under the bus, and no need to here from them anymore unless they can reduce their overhead to 3% like medicare or else get out of the way.

Despite what Republicans dribble with their usual fear talk, we should socialize health care. Interesting that our country does not provide the best health care, but that the countries that socialize do. It is just unethical, unChristian to make profit based on health care. More denials means more profit. Don't we have enough good minds in our country like other countries to figure out how to do it? The health care 'industry' lobbyists and Republicans will scream loudly because it could cut into profits.

people over profit--I agree with all my heart---
--however it is very clear that it is still PROFIT over people!!!
The way it is now it may be some time before the Obama administration gets to this--a little too much on their plate at the moment--
give it some more time though--i still have faith--our new leaders have already made some key moves in the right direction

People over profit, indeed!

Healthcare should not be determined by how much money you have. Who can afford an extra $400-600/month just to convince the doctors to actually treat you properly??
