How sad you like to tell people what they should and shouldn't do on a website. Especially when you don't know the person you are trying to order around (and failing drastically). Clearly shows you're compensating for something. We call that 'Little Hitler' syndrome in the UK. Sure you have a word for it in the US too. But in plain English....it's pathetic.
Shame? For what lol. For me commenting on what a good job this guy did making a politician look small? I love it when anyone does that to a politician. Their country of origin is irrelevant. Just like the internet. It's an international audicence. So STFU and grow a pair.
And not that you'll believe me. My soon to be wife is from AZ. She lives with me in the UK. So when we get married, the process would be easier for me to become a US citizen....so It's something I could do - if I choose to do so. Fortunately for you, she has no wish to return to the US permanently so I'm happy enough not to do it.

Great Wolf I’m glad he was defeated, and while I don’t know how long he was in office, he likely has a golden parachute. Congress has ridiculously generous pensions, and he likely will get a very high paying job as a lobbyist to try to influence the GOP agenda for the corporations who spend so heavily in US politics. He holds the views he does because he doesn’t listen to his former constituents, but to those campaign donors who operate a system of legalized bribery. One hopes that politicians will begin getting the message, and start listening to their constituents, rather than well heeled lobbyists, but citizens need to stay on top of their elected representatives.
Wow maybe you can take up a collection for him for his insurance. He does so good at putting polititions down, someone can pay him for such a service well done. Hope someone will throw some nickles and dimes. And maybe a few dollars. And if he gets rich off of his stand up putting polititions down he can help pay someone else's insurance!

Heru- deshet If you were facing the same situation this man was, you’d be shouting too, if you were being ignored by your elected representatives. There are very few Americans who are not facing similar health crises, and if you are not, you likely will be in the future. That’s life. Health insurance doesn’t work like car insurance or home insurance. You may never need your insurance for your car or home. But at some point, you, or a family member WILL need access to health care. And people have died because they lacked health insurance, or because their insurance company found some excuse to deny coverage of life-saving medical treatment. The ACA (Obamacare) is far from perfect. But it managed to pass (with no help from the Republicans) - the first attempt at universal health care coverage to do so. I doubt Trump and the GOP (who still control the Senate) are not likely going to cooperate with Democratic attempts to improve it. But at least it will become more difficult for the Republicans to further undermine it.

Well looks like Tom MacArthur lost his seat to Democrat Andy Kim in the mid terms. Would love it if this guys speech contributed to that. America really needs to work together to sort its healthcare.
"America really needs to work together to sort its healthcare." The simple answer, is to "Just Do It"! Look at Canada and or Great Britain! America! Stop fooling around as if 'health care' were a, sporting event! I'm 62 years old, in pretty good shape, born and raised in Canada and have always enjoyed free and superb medical care! Last January I got myself into a bit of medical distress. My wife took off to New York to visit her best friend, so, I bought a bottle of my favourite Scotch.... oops! I over did it and woke up on the floor. I found it hard to walk up a single fight of stairs that I would normally easily run up any time, but I wasn't drunk!? So I called our local On Call registered nurse. And after a short chat I was off to the hospital. My heart was racing about 159+ beats per minute. I saw the monitor! The ER docs worked on me with oxygen and a drug that lowered my heart rate. That, felt a lot better! They held me for another hour or two and then let me go home, as my heart had slowed to an almost normal rate. I felt fine and I am fine now, no problems! Perfect heart rate and blood pressure. I had to pick up a small prescription on the way home that was also paid by my medical plan. I took my meds exactly as prescribed and was soon and still am, just fine now. The United States of America can bounce a Laser beam off of a mirror the size of a dime on the moon, shut down any injustice or strife anywhere in the world but cannot build and apply a national health care system? Are you kidding? Or are you just crazy? It IS crazy and sad that y'all DO NOT have the very best free health care in the world! Some of my best life experiences happened in the USA hangin' out with Americans but what happened to YOUR medical plan? Good Luck! Take Care...
Jack Lizzard Thanks for sharing your story. It’s more important than you believe, because many Americans are lied to by those who stand to benefit from the old system (pre Obamacare). They are told that the Canadian System is terrible, that many Canadians come to America for treatment, ignoring such facts that many Americans, especially Senior Citizens, would travel for hours by bus to Canada, to purchase medications which were less expensive, even without coverage, than in the US. Sarah Palin went so far as to lie that Obamacare would create death panels (thus sanctioning euthanasia- which was a total fabrication). Sadly, many agreed with her. But as it has been implemented, more and more Americans are liking Obamacare. Obama, when attacked on it in 2012, didn’t run away from it, instead he made the election into a referendum on Obamacare. He easily won re-election. The popular vote as well as the electoral vote. Hope you stay healthy, and I’d avoid the Scotch.
RPG 808 You may be 62, but you are arguing on the level of a five year old. You are pulling out of thin air your belief that this man is a smoker and is obese. You have no way of knowing that, and you have no idea whether this man has an addiction to alcohol. If he was, he likely would have had many more problems than an elevated heart rate. Quite simply, not even a good doctor be able to determine what happened here, given the limited information we have on this incident. You don’t know his medical history, his medications (and possible interactions with alcohol). You are essentially trying to practice medicine without a license. As for the Canadian System, if it is as unpopular as you claim, then why has no political party attempted to repeal it? Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper was in power for several years just before losing to the current PM Trudeau. Yet as conservative as Harper was, he didn’t DARE try to repeal Canada’s health coverage system. That should indicate to you that Harper knew that any such attempt would probably end his career. No system is perfect. And no system is free. It’s paid for through taxation. People will always grumble about that, but that doesn’t mean they want to change it. In the US, health insurance has become connected to the employer. The reason has to do with WWII. during that period, the US operated under a centralized command and control economy (out of necessity - the country was virtually unarmed when the Japanese bombed Hawaii). Prices and wages were frozen, and we had a system of rationing. Since workers unions couldn’t collectively bargain for a raise in wages, what companies offered was health care coverage. At that time, health care was not nearly as costly as today. If you had heart disease, there was no angioplasty or bypass surgery options. All you got was nitroglycerin tablets, which would dilate your blood vessels. Even the President couldn’t get effective treatment for his chronic hypertension. Those medications didn’t exist then. And the lack of effective treatments killed him, and he was just a couple of years older than you are now. But that is how health coverage came to be associated with one’s employer. It wasn’t planned that way, and is flawed in that if the person working sustains a catastrophic illness or injury, what happens to their coverage because they are no longer able to work? What happens to their family? But that is how it came to be, and those flaws are why every Democratic President since FDR (who understood from personal experience, in brutal fashion, chronic illness and disability) has tried to get legislation passed addressing universal access to health care. Barack Obama was the first President to successfully get some legislation through Congress. The only other President to get some legislation passed was Lyndon Johnson, with Medicare (a JFK proposal) and Medicaid. But neither were universal. Given the season, you should be grateful for your good health. Not everyone is blessed with that, even those who eat right, exercise, avoid alcohol and tobacco, are not overweight, etc.

I view these people as sick the same way I view myself as sick. And with sick people, compassion is what you show them. I do not believe this person wakes up every day and decides to hate. I think they don't know any better. My previous comment is based on emotion and that's why it seems so radical. But I want to show the GOP voters I do not believe they are bad people. That is a lie. But that liberal views are for Americans, not commies or socialist or whatever. If this persons child gets sick, I am completely willing as a nation to make sure that child gets care that I help pay for. So they and the child don't have to worry about recovery AND cost. That is not fair. Staying alive for anyone is the first. Paying is not something anyone should have to worry about while fighting a mental or physical illness.

He made an emotional grandstand He gave not one suggestion on how to help anything Obviously he has anger issues and poor coping skills . What did he accomplish other than to fool some people into thinking how right he thinks he is . There are thousands of emotional pleas , rants just like this one from people involved with government run health care . Many who's family members died waiting for tests , procedures simple appointments , managed care , procedures going before a board ( financial ) .....to review the case and make a decision as to what course if action to take .... .. all the while you wait . Example , there were 178k cancer diagnosis in Canada , of those 80 k had died due to what we just cited . How is his story more important than the others ? An argument can be made , if he had the ( free ) health care , his wife could very well have passed . This is an emotional angry rant that served no purpose , solved nothing , made zero recommendations . The guy was bordering on being incoherent . Take the emotion out of it , do you have any idea as to what he said ? The many contradictions did not bother you ,? You question nothing ? I read these comments and am shocked at the ignorance .

No, man that was cancer, not the congressman, or the insurance companies, or President Trump, or the doctors, or the presidents and ceos of the hospitals...etc. I do not have an idea or solution at this point, my turn will come sooner or later, maybe maybe no. Crap shoot is ones health. Sure, feel good, look good, feel good...but in the end my thought is no one beats cancer. No one. Cancer has the persistance and longetivity of a timeless, featureless face...it, like the oxygen in our air, just IS. All over the place...and again despite what one does or doesnt do if its coming, it will get there to its destination 98 percent. Of the time. May take years...decades. No one wins over cancer.

jag10 there is a common theme running through Trumps base and many in the GOP. That is they don't offer solutions they only offer insults and lies. The GOP complained that the Democrats rushed their Healthcare Plan through Congress. BUT they did have open sessions and in those sessions they interviewed experts. Then what do the GOP do they rush through their plan and do it all in secret. The GOP like Trump and you are just a bunch of lying hypocrites. There is a saying that empty vessels make the most noise and you, the GOP and the President make on hell of a lot of noise. The blue wave is coming, it is not happening in the national forum it is happening in the districts all over America. The GOP are been made to own what they have done and it will come back to haunt them in November. Never before in American history have so many heads of committees in Congress decided not to stand for re-election because they know what their grassroots are saying and it ain't favourable to the GOP. Any system where 20% of the money collected for healthcare goes into the pockets of a few is a healthcare system that is fundamentally flawed. The Healthcare industry in America is no different than big tobacco and when the truth came out we found that they had lied to the American people for decades to protect their profits and the healthcare industry are using exactly the same tactics as big tobacco. Sadly there are many in the GOP and their supporters who are either too dumb to see this or too corrupt to care.

Well, I wouldn’t say that the quality of healthcare in America is poor, as it’s among the best in the world. However, too many Americans cannot even afford it, especially if their employer doesn’t offer it to them. So the problem isn’t about the healthcare itself, but it’s the for-profit system, with all the insurance & pharmaceutical companies and the powerful lobby groups that are in the pockets of far too many politicians, which is the real problem that America faces in regards to healthcare.

Ann Linley Very few people are given refugee status so it is rather stupid and paranoid to worry about them as if they were attacking us with tanks. You give yourself away with your hate and paranoia. Eat a Trump Steak and try not to choke on it.
@Ann Linley you're asking how much it would cost which is approaching the discussion dishonestly. If I had to answer this though, I'd cut the military budget, bring our troops home and provide them and the people in the country they fought for with healthcare. What you should be asking is how much would we save if we shifted to single payer since it's been proven by studies produced on both sides of the aisle that implementing it would result in net savings. Wages theoretically would have room to grow since employers no longer have to worry about providing healthcare. Pro tip: People who don't have health insurance are likely to end up in the emergency room at some point. This results in a hit to the taxpayers when providing preventative care would've resulted in a healthier person and much less of a bill on our part. An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure. This applies to the cost of healthcare as well.

They are the ones who decide what gets billed to the insurer and the insure and decide the price that is MASSIVELY overpriced from 2-5X the actual cost. This was exposed a long time ago nearly knew their was even a middle man deciding this.
Average Health Insurance Premiums Doubled Since 2013 ,you can keep your insurance and doctor said obama. if you have job you pay ,if not you get a free ride,more like obama snare. the democrats and the republican rino's are one and the same,KST RUNS DC AND BOTH PARTIES ARE AT THE TROUGH.
Julien MORREN Yes.. Voted Red-All the way! Barry started this horrible healthcare situation! Also I get kinda pissed when Britts run their mouths about what we should do! Don't you have your own stuff! Don't we have a history about Britts telling the USA WHAT TO DO.

This is why Republican voters have got to learn to vote for quality honest candidates instead of voting for a Party. Vote for the best interest of the people of the United States of America.
DANMMM Dude. Whether you agree with him or not I give the citizen props for using his voting power and speaking his mind. He is at least honestly passionate and cares and at least wants a better solution. Either analyze the current ACA system and make it better or come up with a whole new system that is better. +1,000 points to the enraged husband.
Daniel Garnett You must be watching something else like a Republican speaking because you are talking about somebody that spews lies that’s definitely a Republican!
Rick Keeton seriously!! I have a child with type one diabetes, I have chronic health issues.. My husband and I had fabulous insurance before the ACA was pushed through before most of Congress ever read it! We went from paying $900 a month with a $2000 deductible to $6800 a month with a $25,000 deductible!! My sons meds & supplies cost around $3000 a month. Then he has specialist & the occasional ER visit. My sister & her husband just paid the fine every year because it was cheaper than buying insurance!! And we know hundreds of families like ours!! The Republicans didn’t screw us, Obama and his useful idiots, screwed us!!
@@lovingmymcmahon3382 So just to verify your math. On the ACA you were paying $6,800 a month just for insurance. That adds up to $81,600 a year. That means you make enough income to put you in the bracket of middle class at least. We know of 2 adults and 1 child. So the cost of penalty for 2016-2018 is $695 for each adult and $162 for a child. So the penalty is only $1552. I don't know which state you are in but in my state for comparison there isn't even a plan that cost that much as what you describe. I went to my states ACA market site and using the estimate of your info. And the most expensive plan that I could even find is only $16,000 a year. So I tried using even higher estimates and most expensive plan that I could even build was only $20,000 a year. So either you were doing it wrong or you live in a state where they implemented the ACA wrong. OR there is the possibility that you exaggerating your numbers. OR you are just lying.
@@lovingmymcmahon3382 As a secondary note, several of my friends during the first year thought the same thing as you. After I sat down with them and did a little research all of them ended up paying either far less than before the ACA or a couple pay close to before. It amazes me how many people get confused and panic easily. To be fair that is only my state though. But that means that the ACA isn't inherently bad, just people or government use it poorly. I wish you the best of luck. But if you are still paying some rediculas amount then please go ask someone for help.

@haitipi Can I ask you something? Is America a country, or is it a "land where random people live with no unity". We live under the same state and face the same problems of life. Why not work together to take the burden off the shoulders of our fellow countrymen? Is this really only a "personal problem"? I understand that the United States was founded on individualist beliefs and is not so much a collectivist society. But there has to be a midpoint where we can funnel our sources together to help each other. Because we are the U.S.A., the UNITED states of America, right?
@haitipi 50 failing semi-autonomous countries under a cracking federal republic. The way it's going, the USA is gonna break up into 50 independent countries.

Brave. Articulate man, we need more like this at town halls. Bravo! He expressed anger without letting rage overtake his faculties. Wish I was there, I would have stood up, clapped, and hugged this man for having the courage to speak up; the courage to do what I could not. I can write a letter, make a phone call, sign a petition, encourage people to vote, offer to drive people to the polls. THIS man demonstrated what all of us should feel and do.

Child like . The system does indeed need major adjustments to be sure . That said , he offered nothing in the way of any kind of tangible positive repairs . Only an anticdotal story . There are many of these stories that come from governmental run systems where thousands have died....from cancers like his wife specifically due to having to wait to be seen , wait to be treated , inferior technologies , governmental cost effective boards lack of treatment etc .

Because conservatives are convinced that any government assistance is a blight on society that falls under the category of SOCIALISM. The insurance company and pharmaceutical lobbies have made sure of that. Mitch McConnell has said outright he's coming for the other ENTITLEMENTS: MEDICARE, MEDICAID and SOCIAL SECURITY. Never mind that we working stiffs have paid into these programs. They're still "entitlements" to McConnell and the other 1%.

He holds the views he does because he doesn’t listen to his former constituents, but to those campaign donors who operate a system of legalized bribery.

Heru- deshet If you were facing the same situation this man was, you’d be shouting too, if you were being ignored by your elected representatives. There are very few Americans who are not facing similar health crises, and if you are not, you likely will be in the future. That’s life.
Health insurance doesn’t work like car insurance or home insurance. You may never need your insurance for your car or home. But at some point, you, or a family member WILL need access to health care. And people have died because they lacked health insurance, or because their insurance company found some excuse to deny coverage of life-saving medical treatment.
The ACA (Obamacare) is far from perfect. But it managed to pass (with no help from the Republicans) - the first attempt at universal health care coverage to do so. I doubt Trump and the GOP (who still control the Senate) are not likely going to cooperate with Democratic attempts to improve it. But at least it will become more difficult for the Republicans to further undermine it.

Well looks like Tom MacArthur lost his seat to Democrat Andy Kim in the mid terms. Would love it if this guys speech contributed to that. America really needs to work together to sort its healthcare.
"America really needs to work together to sort its healthcare."
The simple answer, is to "Just Do It"! Look at Canada and or Great Britain!
America! Stop fooling around as if 'health care' were a, sporting event!
I'm 62 years old, in pretty good shape, born and raised in Canada and have always enjoyed free and superb medical care! Last January I got myself into a bit of medical distress.
My wife took off to New York to visit her best friend, so, I bought a bottle of my favourite Scotch.... oops!
I over did it and woke up on the floor. I found it hard to walk up a single fight of stairs that I would normally easily run up any time, but I wasn't drunk!?
So I called our local On Call registered nurse. And after a short chat I was off to the hospital. My heart was racing about 159+ beats per minute. I saw the monitor!
The ER docs worked on me with oxygen and a drug that lowered my heart rate.
That, felt a lot better!
They held me for another hour or two and then let me go home, as my heart had slowed to an almost normal rate. I felt fine and I am fine now, no problems!
Perfect heart rate and blood pressure.
I had to pick up a small prescription on the way home that was also paid by my medical plan. I took my meds exactly as prescribed and was soon and still am, just fine now.
The United States of America can bounce a Laser beam off of a mirror the size of a dime on the moon, shut down any injustice or strife anywhere in the world but cannot build and apply a national health care system? Are you kidding? Or are you just crazy? It IS crazy and sad that y'all DO NOT have the very best free health care in the world!
Some of my best life experiences happened in the USA hangin' out with Americans but what happened to YOUR medical plan?
Good Luck! Take Care...
Jack Lizzard Thanks for sharing your story. It’s more important than you believe, because many Americans are lied to by those who stand to benefit from the old system (pre Obamacare). They are told that the Canadian System is terrible, that many Canadians come to America for treatment, ignoring such facts that many Americans, especially Senior Citizens, would travel for hours by bus to Canada, to purchase medications which were less expensive, even without coverage, than in the US.
Sarah Palin went so far as to lie that Obamacare would create death panels (thus sanctioning euthanasia- which was a total fabrication). Sadly, many agreed with her.
But as it has been implemented, more and more Americans are liking Obamacare. Obama, when attacked on it in 2012, didn’t run away from it, instead he made the election into a referendum on Obamacare. He easily won re-election. The popular vote as well as the electoral vote.
Hope you stay healthy, and I’d avoid the Scotch.
RPG 808 You may be 62, but you are arguing on the level of a five year old. You are pulling out of thin air your belief that this man is a smoker and is obese. You have no way of knowing that, and you have no idea whether this man has an addiction to alcohol. If he was, he likely would have had many more problems than an elevated heart rate.
Quite simply, not even a good doctor be able to determine what happened here, given the limited information we have on this incident. You don’t know his medical history, his medications (and possible interactions with alcohol). You are essentially trying to practice medicine without a license.
As for the Canadian System, if it is as unpopular as you claim, then why has no political party attempted to repeal it? Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper was in power for several years just before losing to the current PM Trudeau. Yet as conservative as Harper was, he didn’t DARE try to repeal Canada’s health coverage system.
That should indicate to you that Harper knew that any such attempt would probably end his career. No system is perfect. And no system is free. It’s paid for through taxation. People will always grumble about that, but that doesn’t mean they want to change it.
In the US, health insurance has become connected to the employer. The reason has to do with WWII. during that period, the US operated under a centralized command and control economy (out of necessity - the country was virtually unarmed when the Japanese bombed Hawaii). Prices and wages were frozen, and we had a system of rationing. Since workers unions couldn’t collectively bargain for a raise in wages, what companies offered was health care coverage. At that time, health care was not nearly as costly as today. If you had heart disease, there was no angioplasty or bypass surgery options. All you got was nitroglycerin tablets, which would dilate your blood vessels. Even the President couldn’t get effective treatment for his chronic hypertension. Those medications didn’t exist then. And the lack of effective treatments killed him, and he was just a couple of years older than you are now.
But that is how health coverage came to be associated with one’s employer. It wasn’t planned that way, and is flawed in that if the person working sustains a catastrophic illness or injury, what happens to their coverage because they are no longer able to work? What happens to their family?
But that is how it came to be, and those flaws are why every Democratic President since FDR (who understood from personal experience, in brutal fashion, chronic illness and disability) has tried to get legislation passed addressing universal access to health care. Barack Obama was the first President to successfully get some legislation through Congress. The only other President to get some legislation passed was Lyndon Johnson, with Medicare (a JFK proposal) and Medicaid. But neither were universal.
Given the season, you should be grateful for your good health. Not everyone is blessed with that, even those who eat right, exercise, avoid alcohol and tobacco, are not overweight, etc.

@@joshuaburgess1204 I think "Thomas Paine" misspelled his/her last-name... should be PAIN. Attempting to have an educated, well informed "conversation" about ACA with the un-educated, ill-informed "Americans" is a futile endeavor.
@@sandrablanco6592 It doesn't matter. He is my fellow American. We have to do something about this. Medical care for me hits a heart string hard. I didnt choose this. And nobody does. Not a single person wakes up and says "bipolar disorder sounds fun" or "stage 4 cancer would be cool". We have to be passionate and also understanding of the CURRENT conservative ways. I view these people as sick the same way I view myself as sick. And with sick people, compassion is what you show them. I do not believe this person wakes up every day and decides to hate. I think they don't know any better. My previous comment is based on emotion and that's why it seems so radical. But I want to show the GOP voters I do not believe they are bad people. That is a lie. But that liberal views are for Americans, not commies or socialist or whatever. If this persons child gets sick, I am completely willing as a nation to make sure that child gets care that I help pay for. So they and the child don't have to worry about recovery AND cost. That is not fair. Staying alive for anyone is the first. Paying is not something anyone should have to worry about while fighting a mental or physical illness.

quickzilver3333 : Want to take a guess where that Defense spending goes? It goes into the pockets of private contractors who build things we do not need. If anything goes to the actual service member, it comes in the form of a redecoration of a common room area. Not better food, accommodations, cost of uniforms, nor anything else that will ease the burden of serving in unpleasant parts of the world.

@@MateuszTeter EXACTLY correct 💯 percent!!!!!
His wife and family are lucky to have a man to stand up for them like that ...and he did his research. He wasn’t spouting nonsense. Facts are Facts!
He made an emotional grandstand
He gave not one suggestion on how to help anything
Obviously he has anger issues and poor coping skills .
What did he accomplish other than to fool some people into thinking how right he thinks he is .
There are thousands of emotional pleas , rants just like this one from people involved with government run health care . Many who's family members died waiting for tests , procedures simple appointments , managed care , procedures going before a board ( financial ) .....to review the case and make a decision as to what course if action to take .... .. all the while you wait . Example , there were 178k cancer diagnosis in Canada , of those 80 k had died due to what we just cited . How is his story more important than the others ?
An argument can be made , if he had the ( free ) health care , his wife could very well have passed .
This is an emotional angry rant that served no purpose , solved nothing , made zero recommendations .
The guy was bordering on being incoherent .
Take the emotion out of it , do you have any idea as to what he said ? The many contradictions did not bother you ,? You question nothing ?
I read these comments and am shocked at the ignorance .
They are all unlucky not to have a president who will stand up for them.
all good ...i see it too. He is a democratic constituent. Immoral...aw, there are so so many issues here that are hollered about, but, as always...not much can be done at this point. Listen to this guy, he says in the last 4 min. You came for my wife. No, man that was cancer, not the congressman, or the insurance companies, or President Trump, or the doctors, or the presidents and ceos of the hospitals...etc. I do not have an idea or solution at this point, my turn will come sooner or later, maybe maybe no. Crap shoot is ones health. Sure, feel good, look good, feel good...but in the end my thought is no one beats cancer. No one. Cancer has the persistance and longetivity of a timeless, featureless face...it, like the oxygen in our air, just IS. All over the place...and again despite what one does or doesnt do if its coming, it will get there to its destination 98 percent. Of the time. May take years...decades. No one wins over cancer. Not one.

jag10 you're just jealous because you can't think as fast as this guy!
jag10 Like we should believe you, conservatard!!!
jag10 there is a common theme running through Trumps base and many in the GOP. That is they don't offer solutions they only offer insults and lies. The GOP complained that the Democrats rushed their Healthcare Plan through Congress. BUT they did have open sessions and in those sessions they interviewed experts. Then what do the GOP do they rush through their plan and do it all in secret. The GOP like Trump and you are just a bunch of lying hypocrites. There is a saying that empty vessels make the most noise and you, the GOP and the President make on hell of a lot of noise. The blue wave is coming, it is not happening in the national forum it is happening in the districts all over America. The GOP are been made to own what they have done and it will come back to haunt them in November. Never before in American history have so many heads of committees in Congress decided not to stand for re-election because they know what their grassroots are saying and it ain't favourable to the GOP. Any system where 20% of the money collected for healthcare goes into the pockets of a few is a healthcare system that is fundamentally flawed. The Healthcare industry in America is no different than big tobacco and when the truth came out we found that they had lied to the American people for decades to protect their profits and the healthcare industry are using exactly the same tactics as big tobacco. Sadly there are many in the GOP and their supporters who are either too dumb to see this or too corrupt to care.

Just wait till you get Older and Sicker you'll see!
Well, I wouldn’t say that the quality of healthcare in America is poor, as it’s among the best in the world. However, too many Americans cannot even afford it, especially if their employer doesn’t offer it to them. So the problem isn’t about the healthcare itself, but it’s the for-profit system, with all the insurance & pharmaceutical companies and the powerful lobby groups that are in the pockets of far too many politicians, which is the real problem that America faces in regards to healthcare.
jozsefkacsa We will agree to disagree, before the nhs if you couldn’t afford treatment or pain relief you died in agony! Every one is entitled to treatment no matter what you means are, if your Canadian system is better then that’s great.

Ann Linley I have paid taxes for years. And some of my ancestors were native American, so maybe you need to return to your country of origin. We pay too much for the military budget, and useless wars.
Ann Linley Very few people are given refugee status so it is rather stupid and paranoid to worry about them as if they were attacking us with tanks. You give yourself away with your hate and paranoia. Eat a Trump Steak and try not to choke on it.
@Ann Linley you're asking how much it would cost which is approaching the discussion dishonestly. If I had to answer this though, I'd cut the military budget, bring our troops home and provide them and the people in the country they fought for with healthcare.
What you should be asking is how much would we save if we shifted to single payer since it's been proven by studies produced on both sides of the aisle that implementing it would result in net savings.
Wages theoretically would have room to grow since employers no longer have to worry about providing healthcare.
Pro tip: People who don't have health insurance are likely to end up in the emergency room at some point. This results in a hit to the taxpayers when providing preventative care would've resulted in a healthier person and much less of a bill on our part.
An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure. This applies to the cost of healthcare as well.
Angel Fernandes What go’s unacknowledged is the fact that the Chargemasters (CDM) have been far too long left unchecked. They are the ones who decide what gets billed to the insurer and the insure and decide the price that is MASSIVELY overpriced from 2-5X the actual cost.

Rick Keeton seriously!! I have a child with type one diabetes, I have chronic health issues.. My husband and I had fabulous insurance before the ACA was pushed through before most of Congress ever read it! We went from paying $900 a month with a $2000 deductible to $6800 a month with a $25,000 deductible!! My sons meds & supplies cost around $3000 a month. Then he has specialist & the occasional ER visit.
My sister & her husband just paid the fine every year because it was cheaper than buying insurance!! And we know hundreds of families like ours!! The Republicans didn’t screw us, Obama and his useful idiots, screwed us!!
@@lovingmymcmahon3382 So just to verify your math. On the ACA you were paying $6,800 a month just for insurance. That adds up to $81,600 a year. That means you make enough income to put you in the bracket of middle class at least. We know of 2 adults and 1 child. So the cost of penalty for 2016-2018 is $695 for each adult and $162 for a child. So the penalty is only $1552. I don't know which state you are in but in my state for comparison there isn't even a plan that cost that much as what you describe. I went to my states ACA market site and using the estimate of your info. And the most expensive plan that I could even find is only $16,000 a year. So I tried using even higher estimates and most expensive plan that I could even build was only $20,000 a year. So either you were doing it wrong or you live in a state where they implemented the ACA wrong. OR there is the possibility that you exaggerating your numbers. OR you are just lying.
@@lovingmymcmahon3382 As a secondary note, several of my friends during the first year thought the same thing as you. After I sat down with them and did a little research all of them ended up paying either far less than before the ACA or a couple pay close to before. It amazes me how many people get confused and panic easily. To be fair that is only my state though. But that means that the ACA isn't inherently bad, just people or government use it poorly. I wish you the best of luck. But if you are still paying some rediculas amount then please go ask someone for help.

@@mtavarez4561 god I wish this man could confront trump and tell him to his orange bloody face what he thinks him(and what the world thinks of him)
I don't know how your American politics work but can this man run for some kind of office?
Your orange blob of a president cant even talk without looking left to right at stupid teleprompters.even then he sounds disconnected and robotic.i personally cannot wait for the debates because now we have so ammunition against him in our arsenal, unlike when he pathetically confronted Hillary, who actually I'm told won the popular vote.i can't wait to see your ineloquent inarticulate imbecilic leader taken down by SMOKIN joe,and revealed as the pathetic coward bully he is to the world.
We could start with when he threw toilet rolls in Puerto Rico,when he bravely pushed aside the Montenegren president and was roundly put in his place by Angela Merkel. Oh yes and when he claimed he had the biggest turnout for his inauguration!
Like you Americans say bring it on Joe!
Drop the mic!!!! This guy is awesome and mopped the floor with that terrible politician!!! 👍👍
how is he "right" dumbass?! since when is "free" healthcare a right in the bill of rights?!?! what if i told you that the fruits of someone's labor are NOT your rights?! ruclips.net/video/dr4TZMPmbuw/видео.html
He sounds stupid as Jimmy Kimmel when he used his stupid brat as a political pawn for his liberal agenda back in May 2017. i watched his pathetic attempt to use his stupid son to attack trump and it was beyond laughable!! Behold the stupidity of your and Jimmy Kimmel's logic.😂😂😂 i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/250/401/55f.jpg
@@DBZFan2 You obviously didn't understand a word of it.
Well spoken indeed. I'm so proud to know there are AMERiCANS like in this amazing country. This is the power of the vote,.....one vote can make the difference. VOTE!!! Our lives depend on it! #HumanRace
Rita Tomei Well said , I totally agree with you !!!
Rita Tomei doesn’t sound to amazing
Rita Tomei what’s amazing about it?
Everyone of you brainless Lazy idiots who If you'd do YOUR OWN Research. would KNOW that Trump IS for Insurance that Covers Pre Existing Conditions. Keep watching CNN and All media period. Who are Being paid Millions to tell you that Trump will end Pre existing coverage. Have even one of you thought about Why their called FAKE NEWS.?? No you haven't. The MSM is Brainwashing All of You. Just like Hitler did. Thru the then only newspapers media. People then believed it all. Then 40+ Million people were killed. So u keep watching CNN. U keep fighting for open borders. Has one of you ever looked at how the EU is doing with open borders. 100 rapes a day. Killings and be headings. EVERY SINGLE DAY. ALL BECAUSE OF OPEN BORDERS. ITS YOU SICK SOB's who's really going to Destroy this country. You and MSM. Clinton's have well over a 100 murders under their belt they ordered to happen. And I can go on for hours. FOR GODS SAKE AND THIS COUNTRYS SAKE, I Beg u all to Stop watching MSM. It's their plan to brainwash you. AGAIN. JUST LIKE HITLER DID. Go see and look up all the things and all the numbers of Lowerest unemployment in the history of this country. Stop relying on what others say. Even me. Do Your Own Research. You'll be amazed at what you'll really see. It's called the TRUTH. AND ALL OF U HAVE UNWARRANTED HATE towards a man that's truly making this country Great again. If u only knew. Sad. It's a sad shame how bad your All being lied too. Hitler did the same exact thing. Thru the media at that time. Look it up. Don't take my word for it. Look it All up.

Agreed...when i see the so-called caravan I see illegals taking healthcare...and for the people who maybe don't know but there are millions.......
Can we vote for this guy😯🇺🇸...#WhenAmericaSpeaks
I couldn’t hold my tears back. I felt the pain this men, his family and millions of American families are going through.
Absolutely brilliant. Has me completely grabbing my chin with heart ache. I know change is coming, I have a wife 4 kids and I'm wiping my tears every 10 seconds. As America we should take care eachother.
Our vote is our voice. Make it count like your life depends on it, because it does.
Way to go!! Regardless of the issue, it's great to see a regular guy lay down a quality ass chewing on some sleazy politician
Good job, you told him. He should be ashamed! He doesn't care, nothing bothers this guy. This Speaker is trying to stress his upset over his family's health issues. He has been waiting for your help, which has never COME. You have done nothing toward the expectations of families like this speaker's family. Wake up and do your job!!!!!!!
damn i teared up. This is a true American.
syppy I did too
@haitipi Can I ask you something? Is America a country, or is it a "land where random people live with no unity". We live under the same state and face the same problems of life. Why not work together to take the burden off the shoulders of our fellow countrymen? Is this really only a "personal problem"? I understand that the United States was founded on individualist beliefs and is not so much a collectivist society. But there has to be a midpoint where we can funnel our sources together to help each other. Because we are the U.S.A., the UNITED states of America, right?
@haitipi 50 failing semi-autonomous countries under a cracking federal republic. The way it's going, the USA is gonna break up into 50 independent countries.
MacArthur's body language clearly shows that he don't give a 💩 about that man or his wife.
Of course not! He cares about one thing: the almighty dollar.🤢🤢
He doesn't it's really sad from this do nothing politician
Who is this guy? Can somebody please try to convince him to run for presidency. He pretty much has a concern for the people.
That's Jeff from Pine Beach.
@C gull alert you need to go back on your meds troll
@@nevermorefrompast-qx5wb what you said about c gull.
You lovely Americans need a guy like this! He’s definitely very, very angry....best bit? His speaking the truth!
Afterward can you please let him come over to our country for a while to help us out? Love this guy!
C gull alert 🤯🙄🤢🤮🤮🤮
GEOFF IS THE KIND OF PERSON THAT WE NEED IN GOVT!!! MACARTHUR SHOULD BE CLEANING TOILETS
Put this on a national broadcast. Run for office. Please put right in the docket.
That politician got his ass burned so bad I'm surprised that its not red.
I had no conversation or constructing conversation to speak to the Congress he's an idiot
He is so RIGHT
A good speech these working people are not playing games. Political lying are dangerous.👍✊👍
That's not a speech ...that's heart!
Its funny because he literally just lost against Andy Kim.

This man speaks with the Courage of the Heart, thank You, mr. Ginter!
And he didn’t care he still voted yes ... vote this jerk out ...
Brave. Articulate man, we need more like this at town halls. Bravo! He expressed anger without letting rage overtake his faculties. Wish I was there, I would have stood up, clapped, and hugged this man for having the courage to speak up; the courage to do what I could not. I can write a letter, make a phone call, sign a petition, encourage people to vote, offer to drive people to the polls. THIS man demonstrated what all of us should feel and do.
What are you talking about. I just got Health care and My wife has pre existing conditions, Don't know what his guy is talking about. sorry another uneducated Planted Democrat actor.
@Becky Skadsen I tell you what why don't you go to Obama Care website and check it out for yourself. You don't have to trust anybody's word Do your on investigation. Let me know your results. If I 'm lying or if the Democrats are lying.

@@OnePiece-yy1lu I m sorry I don' speak that language, I speak English.
Break it down . Take out his emotional fact free diatribe .
He is pushing for a system that can't work . I see him as having major anger management issues , along with obvious lack of coping skills . Child like .
The system does indeed need major adjustments to be sure .
That said , he offered nothing in the way of any kind of tangible positive repairs . Only an anticdotal story .
There are many of these stories that come from governmental run systems where thousands have died....from cancers like his wife specifically due to having to wait to be seen , wait to be treated , inferior technologies , governmental cost effective boards lack of treatment etc .
The speech is of passion , but no substance .
This should go viral every where!!!!!! Now
michael lehar Just shared
His speech took my breath away...thank you Sir
Remember this line from this enraged constituent: Health insurance as a for-profit business is IMMORAL. .
@haitipi Guess you don't know what for-profit means? Hint: it doesn't simply mean you get paid for your job.
@haitipi
Do ANY of you guys know what profit actually IS?
Very well said.
Wow! This guy really went in! I love how he defended his wife and family!
He'll be speaking at our rally on July 30th in Washington D.C.
I am proud of this guy whether he's a Republican or Democrat or independent I like how he stood up to these politicians
cbfbmc damn right! This guy is what everyone around the country needs to be doing! We need to SHAME these CORRUPT politicians into supporting this! We did it with Amazon and it worked! Or at least according to the media it did!
It's extraordinary how, in the midst of high emotion, he is articulate. That's rare. He's a healthcare Patrick Henry.
Awesome person. Great speech.
God bless this man! This should be played on EVERY channel... over and over until they fix health care in Washington!
They’re not gonna fix healthcare because you mofos keep sending back to Congress those who take healthcare from us but give it to themselves. You people are the dumbest mofos walking the face of this earth. When you all stop voting then we can get things done!
Wow. Best improv speech ever. This guy should run for congress!
Sure... yeah... that is exactly what we need, right?! Another idiot anarchist who just spouts off rage and utter contempt for everyone else with a different viewpoint than his... yes, exactly what we need. Is there no one on this thread with a speck of understanding?

Love the passion of this Dad & husband. We need the ACA!!
Wow he just named him the single biggest threat to his family. Tommy boy about to cry.
The GOP are the biggest threat to this country. Not terrorists, not antifa not BLM etc.
In such a rich country, I don't get why healthcare
Is a luxury, instead if a human right.
Because conservatives are convinced that any government assistance is a blight on society that falls under the category of SOCIALISM. The insurance company and pharmaceutical lobbies have made sure of that. Mitch McConnell has said outright he's coming for the other ENTITLEMENTS: MEDICARE, MEDICAID and SOCIAL SECURITY. Never mind that we working stiffs have paid into these programs. They're still "entitlements" to McConnell and the other 1%. It's utterly mind-boggling that Republican politicians say their intentions OUT LOUD, and yet their head-in-the-sand constituents continue to vote for them.
Because its for profit, they could give a shit if people die
I asked an American why universal health care wasn't a reasonable goal for such a wealthy country and he replied, "Because socialism."
Diane Morris-Hill I'm from Sweden and I try to understand what is going on in The US , and that isn't easy . You are one of the richest country in the world , and still you can't provide normal prized healthcare ans education for your people , and I don't wan't to start talking aboat your so called President !! A lying , crazy and stupid idiot !!! I love America and the American people , but please do something aboat it ....VOTE PLEASE !!! Love from Sweden !!
It's a country for profit everything is for sale..even our health. We have poo education unless you're rich or willing to get in deep debt. Two basic needs we have to pay a fortune for..it's ridiculous!
Biggest healthcare microphone drop speech ever.
Bravo sir, bravo 👏
I hope this video is shared EVERYWHERE when the next election or even the midterms happen.
The Senator and the cop at the end just wanted to shut that guy up...the Truth is so dangerous to corporate interests ! That voice MUST be silenced... Americans must not wake up from their stupor.

That's alright, the voters stopped listening to MacArthur's lies as well. He lost his seat.
