Finally someone saying the truth.
The real answer to health care and to most problems the world faces today is to do the opposite of what politicians recommend.
A question: Why don’t they just subsidize people with no health insurance (to solve the 50 million uninsured problem) and let companies sell across state lines (to solve the price problem?)

Why do people have to live here to have a chance at free health care? Doesnt the rest of the world deserve free stuff too? Stick it in the budget.
I realize that you’re an ignorant stinking piece of dog shit… other than backwards continents/countries such as Africa, the Middle East and some parts of Asia THE REST OF THE FUCKING WORLD ALREADY HAS FREE HEALTH CARE!

The procedures of the Republic exist based on two functional ideas (as far as I know):
1. The People don’t have time to decide every issue and vote on every Bill.
2. The People can trust their elected represenatives to act in accordance with the best interests of the People and national interests.
If the representatives can not fulfill #2, then we may have to move towards a direct democracy.
You forgot the part where we would have to kill all the people in charge… because that’s the only way will we ever have a “direct democracy”.
Gotta love her blue eyeliner…

CLASS ACT!
Troublemaker, if you want to kill someone, I’m not going to put my defenseless body on the line to stop you. The legal system is equipped to stop the actions that you suggest.
I was thinking of a national referrundum, if that is even possible under the laws of the USA. Of couse “Connecticut for Liebermann” won’t let that happen.
“and let companies sell across state lines (to solve the price problem?)”
You’re forgetting the history of these things. Every single insurance company will move to the state with the worst consumer protection.
Cherman, your headline suggests the Congresswoman is an idiot. She may well be. Or she could be the smartest person in the Congress. How would you ever know when she is never allowed to utter a complete sentence? This clip does not make her look bad, it makes the “idiot” host look bad.
Radigan was wrong. He badgered his “guest” repeatedly on questions not of her expertise. She is a politician, not a stock market analysist as she readily admitted. She knows about the health insurance reform bills currently in Congress.
I wonder how much longer MSNBC will keep him around? They have enough anchors waiting in the wings that can do decent interviews.
#25, I disagree.
Well a quick search of this story shows that MSNBC is cutting his air time in half and moving him to the dead afternoon slot.
#27, pedro,
You’d disagree with anyone just because you’re a dickhead. Wasserman Shultz was a model of composure, Radigan acted like a Bill O’Reilly.
If a business cannot handle open competition, then that’s a business that shouldn’t be around. I honestly cannot believe that people are on here actually defending companies from actually competing. How much of a complete and total political whore must you be to honestly think that insurance duopolies are acceptable.
#3: “It’s not a crime to admit you are dead wrong”
But their cushy, high paying _job_ is to spin all of their continuous, consistent sellouts of the taxpayer to look like they’re helping the taxpayers rather than robbing them. And most taxpayers are far too clueless to realize they’ve been lied to.

My question is where in the constitution does it give the power to the federal govt to force its citizens to purchase health care or for that fact any thing ?
and before you give the smart ass answer about car insurance, that is state law not federal, and they do have that right because it is not given to the federal govt
Dylan=douche.
The rule is not question/response; it’s endlessly question and by never shutting up for a response; he WINS!
Clearly the it is the host who is the idiot and not the guest. Screaming louder than the person you INVITED to have on your show makes you look like a complete asshole, like Bill-O.
Who cares who is right or wrong, that guy is a complete fucktard if he can’t let the guest speak.
The title is misleading and plays to the dirty tricks of the main stream media.
I expect more of Dvorak Uncensored than misleading articals about this and UFO’s and being ignorant about how internet advertising works. The main stream media is shit, get over it.
Wake up Chermin!
This is low ball, low hanging fruit that means nothing. Nothing.
Dvorak uncensored is lower than low for this kind of senseless bullshit. Post something real already like you used to.
Now lets see if my comment is posted, unless you are bunch of pussies.
I want my Dvorak Uncensored back. Its been highjacked by a bunch of fruitloop nut-fucks.
In Soviet Russia, politician shout journalist. And bang shoe.
HOLY SHIT! He sure went off the approved rhetoric.
That was fucking awesome! Too bad no one gives a shit.
Sorry Cherman. External (Aussie) observer here. I have no idea whether or not the interviewee was, or was not an ‘idiotic congresswoman.’
All that was on show, was that he was a rude, arrogant cunt.
To the man up above suggesting a tax credit. The poor don’t pay many taxes. In fact if you had the poor not pay any taxes for a year, it would still not cover the cost of health insurance for the year, or even arguably for the month.
That said, nobody has a good solution that I’ve seen. I liked the idea of a public option, but even that has a ton of problems. Truth be told, with the economy being the way it is, if it were me in the white house I would be fielding calls for research into restructuring the medical education system in this country to take in a ton more students. At least that way there could be some possible way to meet the future demand and potentially reduce unemployment
A question: Why don’t they just subsidize people with no health insurance (to solve the 50 million uninsured problem)
Answer: Because our tax dollar subsidies won’t be going just to pay for people’s healthcare, they’ll be going directly into the profits of big corporations. Something like 35% of premiums go to profits, 65% to health care. It’s wrong to force taxpayers to pay for big corporations to profit. That’s not capitalism, it’s government hijacked by big corporations, aka fascism in its classical definition.
…and let companies sell across state lines (to solve the price problem?)
Face it: we can’t even figure out what the best car insurance is, and health insurance is much more complicated than that. If Cigna and Aetna compete for your business, how are you going to choose? Do you know the quality of their doctors, what procedures are covered and what should be covered, how long the hospital stays are that they allow and whether it’s reasonable? Are you a doctor, a medical expert? Capitalism requires that the buyer have a meaningful way of distinguishing between the different products offered, and the vast majority of Americans are not able to.
