More at http://therealnews.com/c.php?c=081001YT n the second part of our interview with Deborah Burger, Deborah explains why nurses are supporting HR 676 as the solution to the health coverage problems of the US. Deborah explains how the inclusion of private insurance companies in the provision of health care has created the problems that the US has, that other countries do not. For this reason, Obama’s plan cannot resolve the problem as it does not remove the insurance companies from the …

If you are a conservative, then providing for the health of America appeals to your patriotism and morals, if you are a liberal, then restricting influence and waste of the privatized healthcare appeals, if you are socialist you approve because it improves the workforce. Only corporatists could be against it and corporatism=fascism, a black hole where we talk about it and still ***** the people.

because it has been demonized by Republicans and Big Biz boys club. THEY want ALL our money… They have zero interest about the actual well being of the public. We are just the cash cow for them .

From the previous sentence it is clear that you do not understand either what socialism or hypocrisy mean…

and a business community that spreads propaganda decrying socialism but which in fact socializes risks and privatizes profits. it’s pure hypocrisy.

HR 676 is pragmatic.

global public health system should be a must, a right for the human race!

And their doctors are moving here because they aren’t making money in the communistic health care countries.
In that sort of system, I would encourage my child to study managing a McDonald’s then become a Doctor.

America and most Americans are very stupid when it comes to this topic. I doubt most of them get it. And I speak from being an American.

Socialism kicks ***. The countries that have universal health care spend far less than we do on health services, and have a higher standard of living than America.

I didn’t read the title carefully and watched it for about 5 minutes before I realized that it wasn’t”Car insurance companies grant health care for all”, but rather “Can insurance companies…”Anyway the Canadaian health care system is great and anyone who says it is inferior to the American one simply doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

nothings perfect.
Being from Canada I have to say that this whole “waiting lists” thing is overblown.
Its been a deliberate act of federal govs in the past 2 decades to try to dismantle public healthcare by withholding proper funding levels and propaganda similar to anti soviet crap.
We in canada are cursed with a small segment of rich people who want a private market to exploit and benefit from.
I say ship those traitors to the US! lol!

Actually the Taiwan Healthcare system is considered the best. They somehow have managed to take the best of all solutions and made it the best in the world. No waiting and everyone gets care.

I don’t understand why we need to use the Medicare model as the most efficient method in which we should dole out medical care when it is currently on the verge of bankruptcy. If the French model is currently the best and most cost effective method of giving out health care in the world why don’t we use that model? Perhaps there’s a profit agenda behind this California Nurses Asso. idea? It needs to be further investigated.

What a bunch of crap. Burger is a socialist. The last thing I want to see is another failed gov program. This one preys on health. All you have to give up is your health privacy in exchange for a gov subsidy. This is just another lose lose situation. No matter how you slice the pie, the only winner is the gov.

No amount of regulation can cure a system which is based on greed. It is a choice between health-care and health-rip-off

If you purchase insurance the doctor you are allowed to see has signed a disclosure that he will not suggest you need any test or treatment that the insurance company does not pay for. That is how they get on the list. You can decide how much you are willing to pay for that kind of coverage.
