1. Heart-breaking to see this happening in this country!

Dr. Oz asked whether healthcare is a right or a privilege. His audience joins the vast majority of human beings across the globe, who agree that it is a right, by their response.

Why is there even a discussion about this?

5. EVERYONE - Pt. 2 has the segment with baby with hole in her heart. Pt. 4 has a man with lip tumor.

These are very upsetting segments and images.

2. Thanks for posting that.

I missed half of it because my local station kept breaking in for the balloon boy. Probably a good part of the country did not see parts of it or the whole thing.

P.S. Maybe they will re-run it because it was pre-empted in so many areas. Everyone needs to see it.

3. Just to cover the uninsured

and only see them twice a year, you have to host 140 similar free clinics EVERY DAY.

And that doesn't include the surgeries and continuing care that many of the featured patients require.

Not discounting the effort, but you have to do it 140 times a day, every day... just to get a smattering of health care to the uninsured.
