I hate the new commercials on health care
These lieing mother F$#kers keep saying "you and your doctor make your health decisions now". BULLSHIT, Your insurance company is making the decision now. You and your doctor ain't making any decisions. I hate that these assholes can get away with these LIES. You make you health choices,,,,yeah right, in what reality?

3. Right on post, eh?
I'm a 50-year-old Canadian gal, and I've never had any government bureaucrat interfere with my health care decisions. It's always been left to my doctor(s) and me. Universal healthcare means LESS bureaucracy because nobody has to contact an insurance company for permission to start treatments or tests. Doctors and hospitals don't have to worry about getting paid. Doctors don't have to spend half their time fighting with insurance company bureaucrats who get bonuses for finding creative ways to deny you coverage.

You don't have to worry about pre-existing conditions, and you don't have to worry about losing your health insurance if you lose your job or become seriously ill.

4. That's very helpful and insightful
And should serve as a rebuttal to those making up idiotic myths about UHC

5. The HMOs are truly scum
I can't believe Americans let these people get away with it.
