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?)
So the government should decide the best insurance because it’s just so complicated for everyone else? What gives the government this expertise?
And what is the total profit for the insurance industry?
How about for any country that offers free health care, we let doctors from that country practice here without having to go thru residency again?
Why can’t America do it when Europe have done it for over 50 years? Is it so hard for Americans to admit that we can learn from the “socialists” over there?
Are you really serious? You think it works in Europe? You are either totally clueless because you have not done any research to know that what you say is completely false, or you really want to live under that type of society. If it’s the former, please read and do some research. If it’s the latter, then move.
All Dylan Ratigan wanted was a answer. All she wanted was to do say we are making history. 12/7/41 and 9/11/01 was days we made history too. Congress needs to learn, first do no harm.And learn to wite a bill under 500 pages.(really under 200).
#27 Cherman – You are obviously entitled to your opinion. No matter how foolish it may make you appear.
This is what makes Americasn’s happy is for the government to pay for things we dont want to pay for. But that is what insurance is all about. Its a community pot of money to cover car repair,health repair, lose of a house or property. It is so we as a individual do not have to pay the full cost. What government wants to do is have more people contributing so that it reduces costs. The unfortunate thing is that health costs rise because of expensive treatments and more of us developing long term illnesses. I think things like reducing drug costs, reducing malpractice payouts and opening up private insurance policies would have gone much further then bickering about a public option which in the long run will be paid for by people already paying for their insurance.
I am real surprised that MSNBC did not cut Dylan’s mic. You are suppose to kiss the Far-Left Ass. Not ask for an answer to the question Asked.
Radican spent about ten times the amount of time ranting as he allowed his guest to answer. How on earth could anyone suggest she didn’t answer the question? When she would attempt to answer, he again ripped into her within seconds.
Thank you but no thank you, that is not the type of interviewing we need.
Wow, this guy’s just as rude as Bill OReilly. That being said the man has a right to get emotional. Talk about getting screwed over and over again. Bank bailouts, the escalating presence in the middle east, now this. So where’s the change Obama was talking about? Looks like business as usual. Every time congress looks at a legislation it’s in terms of favoring their masters. Every time these clowns try to do something the american taxpayer gets the bill and the rich get the benefit.
I emigrated to Spain a long time ago, thankfully, and I’m amazed at how much the Americans of today are willing to bend over. So much for the spirit of ’76.
#38, 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.
Credits tend to give you a refund at the end of the year.
what if the fire dept. was run like health care…oh wait, at one time it was! it sucked so bad government was forced to step in and fix it.
I agree completely with #4.
The best thing this anchor could have done was to let the congresswoman finish, then simply point out the inevitable fallacies in her statement. Instead, the anchor looks like a complete fool, repeats the same lines (although at higher volumes).
Single Payer NOW!!!
The guy is just plain rude. I would not agree to be on his show if I had that type of behavior to look forward to. His behavior has me questioning if he would let anyone say anything that he does not want to hear, just like Bill O’Reilly. I’m surprised he didn’t just cut her feed and tell her to “Shut up.”
It’s too bad, because he has a good point. Unfortunately, it is difficult to argue the merits of the idea, when he’s so unwilling to allow arguing.
I really don’t like the idea of mandatory health insurance. Look how well mandatory worked for auto insurance. I think John should run for President.
Look Congress may be willing to pimp us out to the insurance companies but they intend to tightly regulate it all so it will run just as badly as medicare and medicaid do in economic terms. If what you want isn’t on the list you won’t get it and won’t even be told it exists.
Reform is just a word for more government control. We need reform but we sure don’t need these people making up all our choices.
I’d like to see the insurance monoplies broken up, tort reform, and give people the option to purchase major medical without having to buy insurance that covers all sorts of things they don’t want and don’t need.
I don’t need a marriage counselor. I’m single. I’m not worried about alchemical or tobacco abuse because I don’t drink or smoke!
Yep, he’s a jerk. But he’s also 100% correct.
She on the other hand, only knows how to drool out preplanned talking points. It was clear she wasn’t prepared to have an intelligent discussion on health care and defend the decisions made. More palaver by the ruling dilettantes. Makes a person want to explosively regurgatate the spewtum to cleanse the mouth of the taste.
I personally am glad he did. There may be hope for MSNBC.
He just apologized for that interview and that he was wrong.
He shouldn’t need to apologize for pointing out facts she won’t answer for.
