Video showing a healthcare reform rally

[Nameless]

Interesting video. It shows you what a downright strange place America seems to be. I thought the guy throwing money at the Parkinson's guy was a complete twat. Since when has healthcare for all simply been a government handout? I'm quite against people scrounging off the government, but certainly not when it goes as far as denying them access to a doctor if they need it. I thought the black woman at the end spoke the most sense. Everyone who works hard deserves health coverage.

My issue with the US system is the whole use of insurance companies who decide whether you see a doctor or not. Insurance companies need to be taken out of the equation because they exist simply to make a profit and keep investors happy. It should be a system set up by the government where people can see a doctor whenever they want. Health care is a basic right, not a luxury item.

Yeah Miles, the ass who threw the money would've thrown two one dollar notes, I bet they wernt two separate hundred dollar bills to cover the cost of one appointment for the guy. Heartless cheapskate goes together.

And the other fool playing the communist card was like drawing out a joker during a poker game; Buffoon.

That plonker calling Obama a communist is an idiot. It's something I have heard from the American right a few too many times. Do any of these people actually have any idea of what a communist is?

Obama is many things and a lot of those terms are far from complimentary, but to call him a communist is just absurd.

They don"t. Labeling somebody a communist in the US is like a scarecrow you do put in a field to give a very bad impression about somebody. The conduct line is : a social healthcare program, therefore social, therefore comes from the word socialist, which is like a form of communism and therefore Obama is a communist... they have no ideas, really, believe me, McCarthy and Regan did more wrong to the US than what we can suspect.

Yeah, it's dumb, really really dumb. Extremism fed by ignorance seems to be on the rise in the US with little sign of going away. What the rest of the world considers normal, the Americans consider dangerous. Think of all the pointless money spent on these stupid wars and all the benefits given to the irresponsible corporate elite....they could probably have funded an excellent healthcare system with that and massively reduced the influence of private insurance companies! It's a joke of a system that exists right now and even this bill is simply an extension of the insurance company control over everything anyway. Building military aircraft at the expense of the health of citizens is shameful and to think a lot of these people in power consider themselves christian people. Utter nonsense.
