@mikecher123 Number one in killing people maybe. Not even in the top twenty in health care. We are 37 last time I checked and lower rated by some standards.

@ElasticGiraffe Wait times are a reflection of the number of doctors per 1000 people. The USA has 2.4, Canada 2.2, Greece 4.6. How does Greece have more doctors then the USA and be not for profit? And don’t say just look at their economy, everybody’s economy is in the toilet right now thanks to Wall Street. Their Medical system is one of the best in the world and they could lose it, why does America with all it’s money only have 0.2/1000 more then Canada? Please explain these things.

@mikecher123 America IS NOT THE NUMBER ONE COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, NOT EVEN FUCKING CLOSE.
When will you Americans stop pretending that you are the greatest, every single news story, every single revelation, every single international statistic SAYS YOU ARE NOT NUMBER ONE!
You used to be number one, AND YOU COULD DO IT AGAIN, but you as country are in denial. Admit you’ve lost your standing and the world AND GET BACK TO WORK AND REBUILD THE USA!
GET BACK, GET BACK TO WHERE WE ALL BELONG

Well you know I work two jobs. One is supposed to give me benefits, but not until they hire me permanately. I’m just a Temp now. So I need a second job, and I don’t get any benefits.
Maybe I’ll try to work for the Government so I can get coverage.

I don’t support Obamacare because I think its long-term effects will be negative (tax spikes which hurt the economy, ridiculous waiting lines such as those in the UK under the NHS, etc.) its constitutionality is highly dubious, and the majority of Americans have stood against it; but there is no doubt that health insurance company execs need to be held accountable for the unethical and tyrannical way they operate. People on the Left and the Right can unite in agreement over the need for reform.

Insidious as all this is, there is a far bigger problem. Most managed care organizations and insurers are not on the hook for these costs because they transferred their insurance risks to health care providers. So doctors, hospitals, nurses, and nursing homes get flat payments regardless of what their costs are. This make these providers tiny, inefficient insurers leading to poor profitability, high losses and severe constraints on patient benefits.

If you read the whole story you would see. I went to washigton to lobby for a patient bill of rights in 1995 so people with pre exsisting conditions could be allowed to change insurance. To stop the abuse of people.
Under emergency regulations people can change Insurance when the employer feels it is necessary, my husband worked for the US Goverment. My family was lucky, not everyone is so lucky.

Question: How can a person who has been diagnosed with cancer, apparently a serious form, get an individual / family policy with any insurer, including Blue Cross, or did you get on a GROUP policy in california?

Is it possible for Greenwald and Brave New Films to interview you about your experience with Anthem Blue Cross, California largest private health insurance company, to provide a fair & balanced perspective?

Google on: Two women battle the insurance giant (Digital Journal, Posted Sep 29, 2009 ) … where it says:
“After many hurdles today Godfrey is with Blue Cross and couldn’t be happier.
“Blue Cross has always treated me right. ….. The good news is that the Godfrey family is now healthy and have health care that they can trust.

@JoJoshua1 This unfortunate incident happened 10 years ago? According to news on the internet, as you stated, you are now with Anthem Blue Cross of CA (Wellpoint) and are happy with them. (Digital Journal Sep 29, 2009 by KJ Mullins) If that is true, can you elaborate on that?

Why not tell people the rest of the story, instead a scrap of the truth. People should read the story for themselves.
