Obama health care is coming - what's your opinion?

It will reach down to us soon, what's your opinion of this John Stossel report?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9GMKK_fWKg&feature...

Here's my YouTube playlist of the complete story, it has 6 parts, make sure you watch all of the 6 parts, so you can get the whole story.

EDIT: For some reason, part one won't play, don't know why.

Update:

melanieb1985 - nothing against what you said, I just hate it when some people generalize and say things like "all", or "the whole". Can we agree that not all (some) feel this way?

Update 2:

virgod - can you back up your claims with published studies, or reports? I love verified FACTS.

Update 3:

PLEASE do not go to the link posted by You'll Love my Answer - it's an ad.

    To me it means that I'll be able to buy insurance. Right now, I'm excluded due to a pre-existing condition. A condition that was taken care of 8 years ago and which my doctor says I am completely free of and which should cause no other problems. But which have made me unable to buy insurance none the less.

    Poor virgod. Chloe is right just like the huge majority of canadians who are in favour of our health care system. Our government is not against it. Our government is not speaking against it. Our government is not trying to get rid of it. Our government is not saying that it doesn't work. One person said that. ONE. So take your misinformation somewhere else.

    Btw, only americans say that the american health care system is the best in the world even though the WHOLE world do not agree. Only ignorant and arrogant americans think like that. At least some of you have a brain and can admit this.

    I'm happy for americans. At least now some of you guys won't have to file for bankruptcy and lose all they have to pay their bills.

    Edit - You are right, my mistake. Let's say the big majority then.

    Sorry, I'm not willing to spend an hour watching tapes. I watched the first two.

    So I'll refer you to a couple of black and white pieces.

    http://www.reuters.com/article/healthNews/idUSTRE5...

    And I would suggest you research national health insurance in countries like Switzerland, France, Germany, etc. and tell me they are all like Canada.

    And then look at the rate of hospital closings in the US and tell me what the loss of all those beds means for the American public. http://www.rwjf.org/reports/grr/028054.htm

    Then tell me how you'd feel if you needed chemo in Las Vegas and didn't have insurance. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/04/03/60minute...

    Then explain how all those people it showed coming from abroad managed to afford the care, and why so many Americans are now going abroad for health care, even on sponsored trips by employers and insurance companies. http://www.truthout.org/article/amid-health-crisis...

    If nothing is done, the health care system in this country will become something that only the top 10% of Americans can afford, when they can find a place to get it.

    Shouldn't we wait for it to come out of committee to decided if we like it.

    Right now he is just throwing up trial balloons.

    It is what your country needs desperately. I am very proud of our Canadian healthcare and do not listen to the BS that says we go to your country and people die here. If we have an important health issue we are seen right away, we get to see specialists when we want to. And I have been saved two years in a row from a health crisis. I am very proud of Canada and our government. I feel very sorry for those that do not have insurance and go bankrupt and die due to lack of healthcare.

    You are very lucky to have a President that cares for all of you.

    Chloe, what a LIAR you are! My family lives in Toronto, and they tell tells that should boil your blood - about refusal to treat terminal deceases, months of wait for certain tests... Shame on you! Your own government officials recognize that socialist health-care system does NOT work.

    P.S., please don't patronize us. barry soTUro, aka hussein obama, is a CURSE for our country, so, please, lick butts of your own government and let us get rid of fake, fraud and impostor and correct our best in the world health care system - to be even better.

    If Obama was serving cake and ice cream I would be against it. I simply destest this person. I am not a racist. I do not like his white half either.
