Fox News: Obama Health Care Plan Will Kill White Babies

Because they just can not understand it and have not seen the film sicko. Its all mainly republican based anti Obamaism. Or they just don't give a S$*t about those that can not afford health care amongst the middle class hord's and the dirty unwashed workforce and the very poor elderly and the disabled, lol  Hey guys I am alright Jack, blow you what do I care group that normal patriotic crowd that dance to the stars and stripes, lol

The problem is some body will believe the propaganda and not remember how people die including children that are not covered by medical insurance in USA. They die on the way to find a hospital that will treat them.

Not many babies die in UK waiting for treatment more die because they can't get non in USA I expect?  

Mudricky, you have to understand that most Americans are ignorant (and proud of it), swallow every PR issued by the Republicans (and their health insurance lobbyists) and have this enormous pride in a failed healthcare, illegal invasions, torture of innocent people, high murder rate and bloodshed.

merlingraycat, I was born in the USA. And, no, I do not get health care for free in the US.

So your solution to America being ranked 37th in health care by the World Health Organization, right above Costa Rica, is"Why not just leave?"

Can you please explain, how leaving the country will remedy this broken health care system which has left 50 million uninsured?

Americans aren't ignorant?  I just being inflammatory? Really?

Most Americans cannot name one of the Supreme Court Justices.

That is ignorance.

50 percent of Americans cannot name one renewable energy source (like wind, solar, or geothermal).

That is ignorance.

Most Americans cannot name the first four Presidents of the US.

That is ignorance.

(Note: I tried to include links to the above examples, but NowPublic.com claimed it was "spam.")

It's disturbing that you are trying to censor the truth about Americans, when the facts clearly support my statement, which is factually correct.

How exactly are FACTS now inflammatory? Please clarify this.

An American, Republican (not verified) "We feel that no elected official has the right to take our money and give it to someone else, which is what this bill is all about."

Then why do you pay taxes at all?  Newsflash, every tax dollar is "given to someone else." Do you mind your tax dolloars are given to Exxon, Halliburton, Blackwater, etc...

An American, Republican (not verified) "We understand that the private individual can make better decisions than a bureaucrat."

Umm, bureaucrats don't make decisions in universal healthcare. You're simply parroting Republican spin lines. In private healthcare, however, private insurance companies determine what care you can have, how much medicine, how many pills, etc... 

An American, Republican (not verified) "The record of history clearly shows that whenever government gets involved in any industry that costs increase and the quality of the product decreases..."

Actually, the record shows Americans spend more more healthcare than any other industrialized nation and actually get less care.  In the 2007 Commonwealthfund.com survey, the US ranked behind those countries with universal health care:

"Compared with five other nations—Australia, Canada, Germany, New Zealand, the United Kingdom—the U.S. health care system ranks last or next-to-last on five dimensions of a high performance health system: quality, access, efficiency, equity, and healthy lives. The U.S. is the only country in the study without universal health insurance coverage, partly accounting for its poor performance on access, equity, and health outcomes. The inclusion of physician survey data also shows the U.S. lagging in adoption of information technology and use of nurses to improve care coordination for the chronically ill."

An American, Republican (not verified) "You foreigners have no right to tell us Americans that we are ignorant or how we should run our country."

I am not a "foreigner" and have every right to exercise my freedom of speech as guaranteed by the First Amendment in the US Constitution.  And, unlike fascists, I defend the right of any "foreigner" to have freedom of speech.

"The purpose of taxation is to fund government.  That means the essential roles like providing a system of courts, paying elected officials, and providing for military.  Tax money should not be used to forward social agendas or to fund entitlement programs that are not available to all tax payers."

So this amends your previous objection of tax money going to other people, you don't mind paying taxes as long as it goes to war profiteers such as Blackwater and Halliburton.  BTW, do you mind entitlement programs such as special tax cuts for oil companies such as Exxon while they earn record profits?

For the record, universal healthcare IS AVAILABLE to to "all tax payers." That's why it's called "universal." Make sense?

"Actually the laws of economics dictate that not all wants can be met.  When someone else is forking the bill(i.e. taxpayers), no one will restrain their use of healthcare services, because it doesn't cost them anything.  This will force the government to enact rationing of those medications and treatments that are especially expensive i.e. bureaucrats will decide what healthcare you will be allowed to recieve."

Except, health care isn't a WANT, it is NOT A NEED. The idea that people will not restrain their use of healthcare, if not needed, is absurd.  You make Americans sound like out of control children with no sense of logic or direction. I Are you harboring a deep resentment towards Americans?  Isn't that anti-American?

"Look, I don't know who is in charge of this organization or how they obtain their research, but I could quote hundreds of studies of the healthcare situation in Britain and Canada that would directly contradict these findings.  The fact is that if you actually go to these countries and talk to the people, you will find that people are made to wait for weeks, months or even years to recieve the care that they need.  And to fund their useless healthcare system, the people are made to pay exorbitantly high taxes." 

You can quote hundreds of studies?  Funny, you didn't quote even one. Oh are you going to find minor problems in superior health care systems to justify the 50 millions uninsured in America?  That old game?

I have good friends in these countries, one is a cancer survivor in the UK who didn't wait weeks to receive health care, and still doesn't wait weeks for care. If he lived in the US, he would never be able to get insured, wouldn't qualify for medicaid because he is middle class (he's not poverty stricken) and would most certainly die.

More importantly, though, as an American, how can you support this plan which is so inherently against the principals upon which America was founded: freedom, liberty and individual initiative?

Universal healthcare for all Americans doesn't limit anyone's liberty in fact, it frees people from economic slavery and the private insurance companies who decide who lives and who dies, who gets this cancer  treatment, but not that one, who gets that pill, but not this one.

Amazing how you want corporate lawyers making healthcare decisions. That bureacracy IS acceptable to you.

Private healthcare only profits when it makes money by denying care to the sick and insuring healthy people (until they get sick).
