In Canada we have free health care for all, whats the problem why are you all so scared of free health care.
FREE health care…??
What planet you be from??
Our free HC costs family mom dad & child $17,000/year with blummercare chump…
Anyway we know if you were really from outside USA you would have better things to do than blabberin on this site right?
If you really are, then get a life man…you just got lost between the hundred or so paid $2/hr EX–bloggers advocating fo blomacare by cut & paste & squirmin when they get called out…
It is sad that so many believe the fallacies that Obama has debunked here.
Isn’t it obvious to everyone that the insurance companies don’t want health insurance reform and so they are throwing money at anyone who will speak out against reform?
The fact that they have spent millions of dollars for tv ads proves one thing. If they don’t want this reform, it will a good thing for their customers if it passes.
This President is trying to stop the health insurance companies from ripping you off! WAKE UP !What will you do when you have that big heart attack! without insurance! how will you pay for the medical bill…will you have to sell your house? try asking Blue Cross Anthem to help you! they will send you straight to hell! along with the others! WAKE UP!
He’s a very smart guy, as one would expect from a harvard law professor. However he is a total politician.
Health Care ‘reform’ will force taxpayers to pay for abortions. Why does he contradict the head of his own HHS?
i love free health care, thank God i am canadian.
if it was only one person paying for health care or a small group ok but EVERYONE IS PAYING wats the problem? dam some people r just plain greedy and ignorant as fhck, we only have one planet and one life to live if u can help someone just do it its just paper, wow its funny how paper changes people over time i agree some will abuse it because there r human and humans r ignorant and stupid bit dont punish all for one bad apple god plz
“Americans are grappling with health insurance premiums that are growing three times the rate of wages”
Well then good thing we dropped government limitations on premium increases at the last moment before the bill passed =\
At least there’s a percent set for how much pharma has to spend out of premiums on actual care, but considering the big wins Pharma and the mega-Hospitals had on this bill, insura’ll probably still raise premiums and the excess money will just funnel into their pockets.
17 k a year only to be ripped off at the last moment when you finally get cancer or something else nasty….somewhere else in canada ZeWitchKid pay 2k a year,get treated, never worry about coverage, sure hospitals are overpopulated from time to time, at least i get treated before i die…..for 8 and a half less the price
The Federal Government now has officially joined and legitimatized the fraudulent Ponzi health insurance scheme and the scamming of the American working public, like two mafia families joining forces.Beware celebrating it, for the devil is in the detail while the solution remains in the big picture, yet totally unrecognized.
Amend Medicare to allow anybody to buy in as a voluntary option.

The sky is falling the sky is falling.
All you Chicken Littles out there, give this a chance.
Universal Healthcare is fantastic.
The reason why this is even a debate, is because there is serious money behind not having Universal healthcare happen. They want the business of being sick to remain a business.
Good luck O.
@mortician54 how about buying your own insurance. get off your ass and start earning some money to pay for your own insurance!
@dpgsoldier we know you have free health care you pussy. shut the hell up and let us handle our own situations.
@kgceltics5 Little internet thug , just shows how dumb some
people are, dumbass like you get
brainwashed by FOX and dont know what
you talk about. Probly dont know were Canada is …
Mr. President. If we don’t have health insurance. Are we forced to get it?

Barak’s Health Care Proposal, Can it help America’s denizens. .? American views need to be spoken! Visit my tube profile page and learn how.
google Doe’s Account, its insane.
Once again Mr. Obama makes appeals to solidarity, in an attempt to shame his critics into silence. He does not say WHY health care costs are increasing – and don’t you need to know that before attempting a solution? Trurth is, higher costs are the RESULT of increasing gov’t interference in the health care free market for the past 40 years. And the solution is MORE of this?
3:30 How about giving us free peopel the right ot continue to be free and have the choice on having coverage or not!!! making people criminals because they do not want insurance?? Some people have religous rights to not have it! Some people like to be grown up enough to CHOOSE if they want coverage!!!!!! dictator!!!
I think its very interesting to observe Americans reactions to the health care reform. Most people still really don’t know what it does or why!
