That's true, but since Insurance pays all their costs, they're a lot less concerned about having a healthy lifestyle.

Oh dear, your chip says you haven't had a tetanus or all your flu vaccines...you must get that to stay insured and criminal charges if you don't have insurance. If they really want to reduce healthcare expenses they must repeal medicare part d...has already cost trillions in 5y

Stossel makes sense on the cost issue, but for us to pay by ourselves is outrageous. HEALTHCARE IS EXPENSIVE ANYWAYS! Only gov't reform can tackle costs and improve coverage. Notice how the " free market" never works for other social needs like education or defense.
@vedder44 Please ... By: rusty1491. on 11 Mar 10, 14:28:26 @vedder44 Please elaborate what you found to be funny propaganda. I think Stossel and pizzaboy's video response make great points. Blanket coverage by private insurance companies cause health coverage costs to rise because nobody is comparison shopping & health care providers are free to upsell patients on unnecessary procedures. Higher co-pay & deductibles equal lower insurance rates.

Having third party payers (Insurance Companies) has caused the prices to get out of control.Why not get rid of insurance all together for routine health care? It should only exist for catastrophic medical care. The prices would then come down.

I have nothing against younger people becoming political advocates PROVIDED they know what they're talking about. (Historically, it has always been the youth that have led Marxist revolutions.)
American healthcare is terrible. The government regulates the fuck out of every aspect of it. If free markets and free people are allowed to exist in the medical profession, the US would have the finest healthcare in the world.

By: EternallyRecurring. on 25 Feb 10, 12:28:55 If you put money into an account in the amount people pay for insurance, taxes for healthcare and are awarded by their jobs, you would probably have enough money bar a serious illness, which people could get insurance for, but pay for everything else out of pocket. I have no health insurance, my doctor visit was $60 and she gave me a free sample of antibiotics, yet people will spend $100 on a haircut, $30 on a DVD, $60 on a video game. People take healthcare for granted.

I live in Chicago. ... By: groundhog2008. on 14 Mar 10, 13:31:26 I live in Chicago. If healthcare reform is passed, it will create tens of thousands of jobs nationwide. Because, many hospitals and clinics will re-open and massive hiring will take place to? take care of those who have been denied medical care!!!! This is great news!! Now the poor and middle class will now receive the same quality care that the wealthy now receive!!!! Everyone is entitled to quality medical care, in a civilized society!!!! We have to get this bill passed!!!!
@TheHonestPolitics ... By: groundhog2008. on 14 Mar 10, 13:28:25 @TheHonestPolitics Mini polls have been taken in several communities around where I live, that house mostly poor minorities. The approval rate for this bill has been close to 100%. Upper 90 percentile at lease!! So, it appears the polls are showing those who are available for polling, the healthy, white, insured Americans. Those who truely need this bill are sick, some without telephones, or internet. In other words, those who need this bill are not being counted!!!!

I dont care what the polls say. They are flawed, because there are so many poor, and sick that are not counted in teh polls!! I the community I live in, hardly anyone has, or can afford health insurance. Many more are sick. Everyone I talk to say that they want Obama to get this bill passed, without delay!!!!

By: groundhog2008. on 14 Mar 10, 13:12:09 On this mornings news I heard that when (am sure it will) Obama's healthcare reform bill passes, the old Laverne hospital, and 2 closed clinics will reopen again!! This will open up more than 800 jobs in clerical, administrative, supplies, and nursing!! Our city leaders are already preparing for it. So, if Obama fails to give us his healthcare reform, to me, this will be like 800 jobs lost!!!! Just think, passing this bill will increase employment in every city in America!!!!

I don't want to get rid of preexisting conditions. People should pay for their risk. Otherwise the healthy is carrying the sick. There is no reason why healthy people deserve to be punished and given rates they do not deserve.
Giving old people subsidies for existing leads merely to a more inefficient society while at the same time being immoral. Sure you subsidized old people when you were young but two wrongs don't make a right.
So, contrary to your claim this is a freebee.

The part about lack of competition and the incentive for companies to provide health insurance which dates to WWII are correct. If we want to get rid of preexisting conditions everyone has to be in the pool. Other wise people will only enroll after they are sick. That would bankrupt the health care system. I carried health insurance as a young man knowing I was carrying older workers.But also knowing I would be old one day myself.

I didn't say that wasn't the case. However, you are wrong. Health insurance companies aren't the problem, the government, has given an undue incentive for companies to buy insurance for their employees and the federal government doesn't allow interstate competition. Both those things raise prices.
This reform is intended to FORCE people to buy insurance who are healthy in order to rip them off so that others can get lower prices.
That is the governments idea of reform.

In 1971, President Nixon proposed a national health insurance plan built on heavily employer private coverage. Senator Ted Kennedy proposed what would today be called a single-payer plan. In 1974, the debate had morphed into Nixon vs. Kennedy-Mills vs. Organized labor. Despite the prediction in the second clip shown, the result was stalemate rather than passage in 1974 or 1975.
