There are times when Fox beats information to death. This is one that can not be ignored, even for a minute. But let's give us other topics for us to discuss.

For those who really want to learn something about health care reform, here is an interview of Denis Cortese, President and CEO of Mayo Clinic, who knows a whole lot more about the subject than Hannity.

DESTROY THE LEFT
We know what we like and what we don't. And we the people don't like this bill.

US citizens need REFORM, it is NOT Govt. PORK, Acorn, Loop Holes etc.
The problem is Business is in the Way, Ins. Administrators, Too many layers....
Americans don't want Govt in our way to make decisions between us & doctors.
Citizens will Not allow FREEDOM of Choice, Principle or Common Sense to be compromised.

have you ever heard of the world health organization?
check out theyre website who.int to see just how good we are compared to countries that have nationalized healthcare france#1 britain#18 canada#30 USA#37

Should we want ours and our children’s health and lives to be in the hands of Insurance Company Executives who receive millions/billions of dollars to make as humongous a profit as possible……or should we want our federal government to manage our health care in the same manner it has managed Medicare, Medicaid and the Veteran’s Administration? And before anyone starts trashing the VA, let me remind them that quality of care has always been rated high at the VA. The problem has always been insufficient funds to provide timely care in quantity, not bad doctors/nurses.
R. C. Jackman
Do people realize that medical insurance pays only a fraction of one's medical bills? One still pays when he sees the doctor, when he receives medical treatment, and when he purchases medication. And if one cannot pay then the cost is put on the tab, the same as it is without insurance.

AGREE this is like "The Living Dead" syndrome.
Dr. Death & evil brother Rahm are very scary.
The DEATH Care Bill Must BE STOPPED. Especially for our treasured Elderly........
noblinkster
Nothing more than Euthanasia by Proxy!
Alexandra
Well, I think it should be TRIED OUT on Rahm Emmanuel and his brother FIRST...then, removed from the Bill. The planet would be cleaner, so at least one good thing would come of it!! AND it would be GONE from the Bill...so TWO good things will happen!! Rahm...Rahm, where are you? Now, go get your brother, Rahm!
roony
yep

Health care reform is needed, just not this diaster for all of us! Fix what is broken like the waste/fraud in Medicare/Medicaid that averages $60-100 million every year, tort reform to do away with health care professionals having to practice defensive medicine to the tune of about $100 billion every year,etc. The current bill wants to revamp everything. Why? Some are satisfied with their coverage. Go from there. Quit giving free health care to illegals which has been a large reason for the mess we have in health care costs today. Also have coverage that caters to the needs of each individual and not blanket coverage. Just listen to what the American people are saying not to enact this monstrous power grab to advance the Socialistic agenda.
roony
RIGHT, it is all about CONTROL!
Old Soldier
This is about the best response around. Fraud is choking us. Malpractice insurance is choking our doctors. Leave us alone. Prosecute the cheaters. Protect our doctors from legal harm. They are heroes.
Alexandra
There are some BAD doctors and VALID malpractice suits. BUT, in reality? Very few!! As a Health Care Professional, you WOULD NOT BELIEVE the absolute CR*P people come up with to SUE!! It's like the McDonald's hot coffee nonsense...anyone who can't figure out that putting a cup of hot coffee between your legs and then driving away like that could cause a burn?? well, what can I say??!!?? I do believe the coffee is NOT made as hot any longer, so that may be a good thing...but a MULTI MULTI Million $$$$ settlement over it?? GOOD HEAVENS!! And let me tell ya...people really DO Make Stuff Up in Medical Malpractice Law Suits...they study how to do so!! Add in the Ambulance Chasing Attorneys...it's a RECIPE FOR DISASTER!!
be
You're right. What we have needs some tweaking and it will work. Cobra is out of line. Allow people to stay with a plan when they leave a job at the same cost as they were paying. Make anybody coming to the dr.s office prove citizenship. If they are serious enough to go to the ER they will get treated, no questions asked. But if they go to the ER for a runny nose and cannot prove citizenship, tell them to go to their dr. and turn them away!
Alexandra
WHAT doctor? They never bother to HAVE a doctor? Why should they? they KNOW they can go to the ER and get treatment? and the ER docs are so terrified of getting sued, they let it go on and on and on!! These Illegals TOTALLY know how to work EVERY system from the ER to every Food Pantry in whatever state you live in...it's disgusting.
roony
be, but the job they just left, the employer was paying part, how can they have it at the same cost?
CRACK IS WHACK
just keep on spendin.learn to balance your checkbook before you tell me what to spend what i dont have on.
noblinkster
This health care bill is all about a power grab, big government and spreading the wealth. They don't care how it affects your checkbook other than they have all of us foot this dog and pony show personally or with taxes and are under the care of their watchful ears and eyes. Socialism folks!!!
CzarsRUs
The reason that healthcare costs are so high in this country is because American citizens have been subsidizing healthcare for illegals for decades. California pays $1.4 billion EVERY year to provide healthcare for illegal aliens. That is just one state in just one year. Illegals should not be included in this plan.
roony
CzarsRUs, the liberals WANT to take care of the illegals - those are VOTES for them! We need to make sure that to vote, you must NOT be illegal!
Alexandra
AGREE!! But tell that to ACORN...who register Dead People and the SAME people 70 times!! Geez...
DESTROY THE LEFT
Exact same thing happening in our schools.
CzarsRUs
Yep....California spends 7.7 billion dollars every year educating illegals. Overall, California spends 10.5 billion annually on providing services for illegals. Little wonder the Mexican government is helping them to come here in the millions.....and California is just one state. The cost of uncontrolled borders and illegal immigration is bankrupting this country faster than anything else.
CRACK IS WHACK
the cbo put another knife in this monstrosity.cant these loonies save a few bucks for a rainy day
Recon
The BILL as it stands affects every US citizen w/ PORK & major LOOP holes.
Agree, why would citizens be penalized to keep their current INSURANCE @ 2.5%
Many pages of this Bill have ACORN involved, why, READ the Bill
Who in CONGRESS is covering up the ACORN Corruption?
Piglet-U93
Is the present private health care plan for Congress subject to the same restrictions or is it exempt? Will congress have to pay a 2-8% tax like the rest of us who choose private health care?
noblinkster
Like Tereas W says, they are keeping their own health care and are exempt for 5 years from the program. That should tell you everything about what they thing of their public health care plan.
amielou
NO THEY PLAN ON KEEPING THEIR OWN HEALTHCARE.
Piglet-U93
Yes, thats true, but I am still looking for an answer to these two questions.

IT'S ALL ABOUT CONTROL..THEY, THE DEMOCRATS WILL BE ABLE TO TREAT WHO AND WHEN THEY WANT..LET THE OLD PEOPLE DIE AND TREAT WHO THEY CHOOSE.. WE ARE ALL IN TROUBLE,,SO GLAD PEOPLE VOTED IN THIS JERK....

What Americans need is some canadain jackleg to tell us our to run our country. stay in canada, we do not need you nor your unintelligent comments.

You are indeed the shining example of the type of intelligent commentator this discussion needs. Never let the facts get in the way of a good argument!

Perhaps I could enlighten you if you care to be specific.

If you're a senior on medicare and some unfortunate dread disease should befall you, That's one way it could affect you. Im way past 65, and that happened to me. Instead of having end of life conferences, I was trated by the most caring Surgeons and physicians, that conferenced with me, about how they intended on keeping me alive. No treatment was spared, no tests, no matter what the cost were witheld because of my age. I continue to have a better than good quality of life, and every day thank God for the health supplementals I'm able to buy.
Rick from Ohio
Dennis Kucinich was on Fox this morning and said that this bill will subsidize doctors malpractice insurance. So let me get this straight - after all the good doctors have been forced out we will be left with hacks who don't care if they make mistakes because nobody will sue the government.
2fortea
majorphilter, we Americans DO want healthcare reform. BUT we do NOT want THIS bill. THIS bill is a HORROR. Besides being loaded with unnecessary things and waste, this bill has quite a bit of offensive things in it. It also inflates government. There is a potential for corruption exceeding the current standards. I don't want the government or ACORN involved in my healthcare! Clean up the existing standards, revise Tort, leave out illegals, include ALL governmental officials and STOP feeding at the public trough.
CRACK IS WHACK
government run media you canadians should be smarter than that your media is all government run.i could get 3 economists to rebuke that arguement.americas crisis isnt healthcare its the power grab going on in washington
Onion
The CBC is funded by the government not run by them. It is a BIG difference.
majorphilter
Also there is one government run news channel in Canada and two private. You could argue that Fox is Republican run.

So do it and post the results. Anything else it just dogma and grandstanding, like me saying I can get 3 economist to rebuke every one of your economists.
majorphilter
CNN just had a panel of 3 distinguished economists (including Nial Ferguson from Harvard) talking about how the Americans receive the worst bang for the buck for health care in the G8 and it will drive American bankrupt if nothing changes. As a Canadian I am stunned by the health care debate in America. America spends 16% of its GDP on health care, Canadians spend 9%. Morbidity rates for all major diseases are statistically identical between Canada and America. Canadians live 3 years longer than Americans on average. In fact, Canada has the 10 highest life expectancy in the world while America has the 30th. Americans are paying twice as much for health care than Canadians for the privilege of dying sooner.

On the part of minority health, the United States should be a country that underderstands which diseases affect specific individuals. I think that it is good that the topic was presented. A doctor should study all aspects of health which relates to genetics there would be a greater success rate of preventing and/or treating disease(s). But for our people to be so blind to say that "minority health shouldn't be a factor" while determining how Americans are treated when they go the doctor is a DISGRACE. We are individuals! We are all not the same when it comes down to health! And we all have the choice of getting a second opinion from a physician. I don't care what COLOR!!!! my physician is I just want to make sure that she/he understands what is going on with my body and that she/he CARES enough to tell me the TRUTH. We must take responsibility when choosing our physicians. Breast cancer affects more women than men, but skin cancer affects more whites than blacks. What's the differece? White, black, brown, red and olive skin, but WE ARE ALL BEING AFFECTED!!!! SOME AMERICANS NEED TO WAKE UP!!!!!!
