Ron Paul: Saving The American Health Care System Part 1
www.freeatlast2008.com www.ronpaul2008.com http ronpaulblimp.com The Founding Fathers warned about the potential of an undercover medical dicatorship if one class of men were to monopolize the art of healing. Unfortunately, that day has come. Fortunately, Ron Paul is fighting back. See what Dr. Paul’s plans are for recapturing the power of health care from the medical monopolies and restoring it to its proper owners, patients and doctors.
@Jessecraft1954 – then perhaps yoru country should review the misspent funds. look how much america spends on military and weapons. wouldnt it be better spent on healthcare for all of its citizens?
“The US is the world’s richest nation and the only industrialised democracy that does not provide healthcare coverage to all its citizens.” – BBC News, 26 February 2010
Every American should be ashamed of that fact.
“The best test of a civilised society is the way in which it treats its most vulnerable and weakest citizens.” – Mahatma Gandhi
The World Health Organization also ranks the health care system in the USA at number 37, below Colombia, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, and Dominica.
Isn’t the time long overdue that America wakes up to the fact that it doesn’t provide its citizens with a health care system that is even close to those of other developed industrial western nations?
One simply has to Google the phrase “Life expectancy” to see that the USA doesn’t even feature within the top 30 list of nations (it’s actually number 38, below Greece, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Chile and Cuba). This is truly appalling given the GDP of the USA, and every American should be ashamed of that fact.
These figures aren’t biased either, as they come from the USA’s own “CIA World Factbook 2009″, and the 2006 United Nations World Population Prospects report.
Exactly! Nature must be allowed to run its course. No more intervening in the natural economic process that the free market allows to exist and thrive.
american government carnt even look after their own people for free the cunts.thank god im not an american.
Kill the 3000 pg Illlegal HC TAX & JAIL Trojan Horse Mandate Bill nobody wants..
Kill the bill..
Vote em out..
nobody wants it..
I have lost so much of the respect I once had for the American Government. Borrow money for college and it`s like paying back loan sharks. The sell and resell your loans for higher interest rates. Lose your job and you have no healthcare. We pay for criminals to have free everything including cable tv and then we have to pay for women who have six children by six different men. When does it stop. When does the tax payer get something back from the taxes the pay in? fed up.
that’s because americans are a bunch of arrogant and ignorant assholes who still doesn’t want any type of reform, considering the fact they’re in a recession already.
arrogant indeed
If the free market were given a chance to thrive, it would trump any socialized healthcare. It’s unlikely that it will get a chance as everything gets lost in the bureaucracy of our broken government.
dumb ass american, when will u guys ever wake up, so fucking ignorant and greedy….
first thing this Ron dude says is the health care can’t be sustained is a lie Australia gov pumps money into private & public health and we are out of recession we are the only country in the world to report economic growth we value life over money. health should be a right for all not a privilege just for the few
what about poor people that don’t abuse thier body?
You are right, Pinnertop.
For example, how many of us know that although the term “health care” is commonly used both as noun as well as adjective, the preferred usage is: health care (a two-word non-hyphenated term) for noun, and healthcare or health-care (in one-word form or hyphenated form) for adjective.
Examples:
1. Everyone needs health care (noun, a compound noun).
2. Our healthcare (adjective) system (noun) is inefficient.
Similarly: home page and homepage.
Why is it that so many Americans seem incapable of having any sort of discussion about anything very much without resorting to abusive language and generally bad grammar and spelling? I can only think that this is as a result of a poor education. Most civilised countries think that Health Care is a fundamental human right.
Because a lot of Americans feel that providing health care for all citizens, no matter how admirable, is not a proper role for government. There is another, very different and much more sustainable way of improving the U.S health system, through very different means, such as the policies presented here.
NHS in the UK is un-fit for Purpose !.Zip / Post code Lottery at best, and a means of Culling the old and sick (burden on Society !! )……Do a quick search on the New World Order (NWO) and see how deep this rabbit hole goes….
Goodness I am glad I live in Europe. Our NHS is the best thing that we have. My parents were looked after wonderfully and I am proud to live in a country that cares for all its people. Americans why on earth are you not demanding something similar?
in a socialized system, those people abusive about their health gets a care they want without paying any money…those who don’t abuse have to line on cue with the same people who are abusive because that’s how the system works. so if you are sick although not abusive of your health, but needs urgent attention because it’s a matter of life and death may end up dead just because one has to wait in the waiting list which is the reality in free healthcare system.
doctor who gives a damn soon enough but I still wouldn’t trade our system. One time I went to the hospital with food poisoning, first time. Was in emergency with about 30 other aching people. 6hrs later finally got in and find out all it took was a gravol pill to clear it up. It sucked but in the U.S. knowing that I would have to pay… I think a lot of people down there might have tried ride it out and risk it but then you’d be dead right. I’d say our system vs yours is 60/40 pro vs con.
I can tell you in all honesty here in Toronto Canada it can be rough. The doctor swipes that health card and a lot of times can care less what’s wrong with you cuz they’ve been paid. I went to 9 doctors and two doctors due to a pain in the knee never to find out what was actually wrong with it. I had to do research myself and it’s either bursitis or tendonitis. I’ve considered going to the states to pay and find out once and for all, but I don’t have that kind of money. I hope I’ll find a
Trust..me..many other areas..walk in, get help walk out, no bills… it is really a reality , I hope for the U.S next generation gets a chance to experience a better quality of life.
Does anyone have any personal experience with Health Care systems outside the U.S? Even with the best system..there is no Pill to solve your problems.. got to change the way you live, Eat healthy, have a balance life..work, family.. you never see a unhealthy obese person living very long..so..look outside the U.S and get a perspective that’s honest. Even if you had all the insurance ( you think) they insurance companies will deny you coverage,,
Squire You are one dumb fuck I don’t know why I am responding to your utterly retarded post. No it’s not a right, you have to PAY for health care, just like FOOD, SHELTER, and CLOTHING. At least for now in this country you do, until it goes communist, you have to still pay for shit in a capitalist country.
Now go beat off to your Fidel Castro pictures.
