John Stossel On Obama Care


John Stossel interviews Sally Pipes on health care. I heard her on the radio today tell a chilling tale of what happened to her own mother under government run health care. When her mom feared she had colon cancer, she went to the doctor who, without testing her, simply told her “No, you don’t”. When Sally told her mom to insist on a colonoscopy, the doctor told her she was too old and there were younger people waiting in line for that particular test. Later, when she was taken to the hospital bleeding, she spent two days waiting in the ER, two more days in transition waiting for a hospital bed and within two weeks, she was dead. But, she did her part to keep health care costs down!

    What is Medicare/Medicaid if not GOVERMENT RUN HEALTH

    You’re right, genius, and they are in deep financial trouble with it. Do you want the government to do the same to the entire health industry?

    It can only exist because the govt has a very large private sector industry to plunder. It isn’t anywhere near cost-efficient. It’s really just a welfare program that is able to feed off a very profitable industry.

    At the very minimum we should at least provide a base level of acceptable, affordable health care for the poorest and most vulnerable of our great country. At the very least, Medicaid should be expanded to cover ALL poor adults, not just the pregnant, which is the case in many states, including Texas. Please sign my petition to reform Social Security Disability determination processes. Thanks!

    This is a tragic story and I have no doubt it’s every bit true.

    I do wonder however, how much truth is in each argument for or against “Obamacare.” It’s hard to ever know what the real deal is, with news media always pushing their own agenda and slanting the news for their particular angle.

    I’m not thrilled about government run health care, but I have to wonder if we can really stop it. I’m guessing not. The government puts on a great facade of pretending to care what we think, while the ones greasing their palms are the ones who really make the decisions.

    So it is healthcare for the people that can afford it,keep the profits up.
    And if you cann’t no waiting for you.

  • robert108

    Without all the added expense of govt regulation, medical care would be affordable for more people. It is the govt which has forced healthcare insurance on us to pay for routine medical care. The biggest “profit” is still made by the greedy govt, which has no skin in the game, contributes nothing, and yet takes trillions from us, in the form of taxes and added administrative expenses.
