Description: 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. … Health Reform Obamacare Obama Care Bill

Actually Jesus said “render on to ceaser what is ceasers and rener on to me what is mine.” I would consider that a political. Also knowbody is denied care over here. Its required by law to treat everybody. yes you might go bankrupt in the process but your still alive. My aunt had cancer in England. When she went to the doctors there to get herself checked out they said to wiat for 4 months for tests. If she did that she would of died. Thank god for the us system. She would of died without it.

Stalin killed an estimated 200,000 Jews. It is amusing for someone to make comments about “not on the front page of the newspapers”. Those who do not remember history are doomed to repeat it. Historical details like what TransJordan was. How it was created. How TransJordan became Israel and Jordan. What Jordan was created for. What Israel was created for. Details like those would shine light into the dark corners of empty skulls who blather about “victims”. It’s disgusting really.

A “Joke”? 6 million Jews were slaughtered by Hitler alone. That doesn’t take into account those by Stalin. Are you making the feeble attempt to say that Islamic radicals who envision their World-Wide Caliphate (whether it be the Iranian Ayatollah-Shia style or the Wahhabi-Sunni Saudi style) HAVE NOT pledged to exterminate Israeli Jews? Is THAT what you are trying to say? I have a laundry list of statements by those TRUE BELIEVERS who have said that very thing. Do YOU want to go down that road?

No, the Jews can’t ride on the coat tails of the holocaust anymore. This generation and the next didn’t have anything to do with it. The Israel’s have been acting like “victims” long enough! The Israels HAVE NOT been minding their own business, they want more and more! They are not in any way on the verge of extinction. That is a joke! The holocaust is in the “History” books, not on the front page of the newspapers. Same with slavery! Let’s get on with it!

If it isn’t everyone’s favorite Poncer!!! What a “looser”??? LMFAO!!! How that “Non Biased” BBC Research coming? Ready to put your experiences fighting drunken Irish men up against my experience against Iraqi T-74 tanks? Yes? No? Why are you still here? Why not go back to that moldy, dank island you came from? There you could wait in the queue like the rest of the slaves. Why burden our system with your disease? Hell, I’ll pay for your ticket! Yes? No?

Actually, Conservatives know that Government does NOTHING efficiently. We have but to look around that see things that the Government can’t do correctly NOW, yet we should give them control over 1/6 of the U.S. Economy? The very SAME Government that had promised to repair the New Orleans Levees in 1964? The very SAME Government that hasn’t stopped the fraud/abuse in Medicare? Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again & expecting different results. What’s that make you?

“Jews can’t ride on the holocaust coat tails anymore”???? How are the “Evil Jews” riding on Holocaust coat tails? Besides the fact that they are the ONE group who has members who know what it felt like to be on the verge of extinction? The Israelis have been brutal, yet if you are an Israeli who is minding you own business, going to market with your wife and child and a suicide bomber kills them, how “Brutal” is that?

they stole the land from the Palestinians??? ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What was Sykes-Picot you ignorant Prat? Murder and Genocide? WHO keeps the gates at Rafah and the Allenby Bridge closed? Israel? You have been to Palestine? Then you should have no trouble with that information. I’ve stood on the Allenby Bridge in the West Bank, have you? I’ve stood on the Egyptian side of the Rafah Crossing, have you? I know who keeps the borders closed, do you?

Jesus was VERY conservative. He wanted people to STAY FAITHFUL to God and follow teachings that had been written A THOUSAND YEARS BEFORE. Hitler was a Socialist. Tell me, Captain Asshat, how many lives have been lost to the disease that Marx spread? Germany, Soviet Union and China. How many millions? The thing about America is that OVERWHELMINGLY MORE AMERICANS want LESS GOVERNMENT in their lives. Sorry that they reject your failed ideology. Go back to the shit hole you crawled out of.

Government isn’t going to run anyone’s life???? So…………in the House Bill, if Citizen A refuses to buy WHAT THE GOVERNMENT TELLS HIM TO BUY he faces fines and JAIL TIME. Do you deny this Clueless One? Europe is “more free”??? LMFAO!!!!!!! How many Class 3 H&K G3s can I own back home in Laupheim? How about the strangulation of taxes in Europe versus here? Hell, in Canada it is AGAINST THE LAW to choose your own Doctor. Is that “Free”?

You are also correct on your views of Israel! The reason planes flew in to our buildings on 9/11 is because of our undying support of Israel. I didn’t say it, bin Laden did!
Might sound cold, but I don’t think that African Americans can ride on the coat tails of slavery anymore and the Jews can’t ride on the the holocaust coat tails anymore. This generation didn’t commit those autrosities, so get over it. The Israels have been brutal and our media doesn’t tell the whole story here!

Wow Gen, you know your shit! Sorry to hear that you had to not only fight for your health, you had to fight your insurance company. That is the norm, and the right wingers are fighting for it! They have a bad case of, “It won’t happen to me” thought process. Well, to all you Republicans out there! Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it!

China is far from Communist. If we want to get really explicit I suppose we could call them Capitalist with an Authoritarian government. But I prefer Neo-NeoSocialist.

Palestine? No such thing. There is “Israel”
there is a Palestine! & there should be! now Israel on the other hand… they stole the land from the Palestinians! and with 9 million a day from the USA they are able to keep it. and build Illegal settlements and bulldoze Palestinians homes & murder & commit genocide. Free Palestine From Israel, an oppressive regime. I too have been to Palestine and seen how the Israelis treat the Palestinians,& it’s not good. I see why they fight like they do.

it happened to me! i was cut off from my insurance when I had surgery… eventually when i threaten to sue them they covered it but it took months

Right on Gendus1! A lot of conservatives are afraid of “change”! Even when the change is good. What gets me is the self-centeredness of it. Aren’t they thinking about their children and grandchildren? They are willing to adhere to their political party at the expence of their offspring. Truly unbelivable.
They also have a bad case of “oh, that won’t happen to me” bullshit. Well, it WILL happen to them!

the government isn’t going to run anyone’s life. (unless your in jail, and then you get free health care there too) anyways look at Europe the European gov. isn’t running anyones life over there and they have a great healthcare system! no reason we couldn’t adopt a similar system! and Europe is more free than anywhere in the USA.

And as you see with limited government and AIG it doesn’t work there needs to be more regulations and such.
and your argument about the money going into the pockets of AIG. once the money was given to them it was out of the hands of the government. they didn’t put it anyones pocket AIG did the wrong thing and with government intervention and regulations it wouldn’t have happened in the 1st place.
November 11th, 2009 at 6:54 pm
you nailed it man! Single payer is the way I have used it in Europe and it’s great I cant understand what people are so scared of? it’s unbelievable that people dont want health care! I just can’t understand it! are people really that blinded!?
November 11th, 2009 at 7:23 pm
actually thats called communism
by the way Jesus was a liberal
Hitler was a conservative
quit being so scared. health care isn’t a bad thing. and people need it. in good times and in bad. say you loose your job what would you do then? and say the same day you loose your job you get diagnosed with brain cancer what would you do then? I know it’s a what if. but what if…. you think you should just die? or would you like to get treatment?
November 11th, 2009 at 7:47 pm

November 11th, 2009 at 7:51 pm

Preventative measures? Like the measures the Neo-Comms are taking to ensure the total collapse of the U.S. Economy? That does tie in quite well to the Cloward-Piven plan. We know that for the Neo-Comm/Marxists, that’s THE end game, however, there are those of us who swore an oath to protect this Nation from enemies foreign and domestic. I still hold true to that pledge. So do millions of others. Spare us the Leftist pap, history is replete with examples of where the Marxist disease will take us.

Well the Canadian Institute for Health Information’s (CIHI) Medical Imaging in Canada, 2007 reports that in 2007, there were 419 CT scanners and 222 MRI machines installed and operational in Canada TOTAL. So………….you want to take the Over/Under on how those numbers compare to medium to large United States Cities? How about the wait times for access to those machines (1/3 of which are ten years old or older)? Ah, facts, they’re fun!

Um, sorry that the concept of Government doing nothing efficiently seemed to go over your head, but do you know who FIRST pledged to fix the New Orleans Levee system and when those repairs were to be completed? The very same repairs that would have prevented the damage and loss of life that Katrina delivered to the people of New Orleans.
