misleading ploys. This is somewhat different though, the god squad are after justifying something to make them feel better, howtheworldworks is simply doing it to make money. Im pretty convinced howtheworldworks is just a troll out to try to make money out of the right wing sorts. PS howtheworldworks Ive now got the lions share of your videos. Its too late to try to delete them. Still not sure if this is just the right wing equivalent of a Poes Law. You know the deal, pretend to be …

I think that I may need to beat PCS2 with my “correlation is not causality” stick. Maybe I’ll beat some sense into them.

“we avoid attributing to the private sector an increase in cost resulting from coverage of services not offered by Medicare, such as prescription drugs.”
Drug cost are one of the fastest growing expensive. Funny how your source doesn’t compare this. To do a good analysis, they would have to include drugs. Plus your source is citing data that is over 10 years old. I am still waiting for data about pricate insurance outperforming the VA.
July 5th, 2009 on 11:21 am
I gave it to you already.
“Although private insurance spending has risen faster than Medicare spending over the past 30 years, the value of private insurance has grown just as rapidly. These data suggest that Medicare does not have an advantage over the private sector in limiting the growth of health care spending”
Did you type in “Comparing Medicare and Private Health Insurance Spending” into Google?
July 5th, 2009 on 11:21 am
With what information? I have proven and given you resources that the VA is far more efficient then private insurance. Provide me evidence otherwise.
July 5th, 2009 on 11:21 am
I have already proven that Medicare is FAR from efficient and less expensive.
July 5th, 2009 on 11:21 am
I am not saying the government program is fool-proof or as efficient as I would want it to be. Nothing we do is perfect. It is more efficient then the current system and less expensive.

Jesus Basquez, you just wanna fucking sock HTWW in the face!!!
Imagine if this punk started talking to you like this. FUCK
Ive never even really watched his videos, and i already hate the socialist twat.

The Governments control over private industry is scaring everyone, and the Insurance Companies don’t want the Government to rally the people’s support to ban their business.
Obama already fired an executive in a private company, what will stop him from liquidating all of the Insurance Companies to further the progression of his faulty Health Care system.
The American People will then have no choice in the matter, and Government Health Care will be the only Health Care available.
July 5th, 2009 on 11:21 am
Because they are not stupid. The Government is falsely claiming their system is fool-proof and efficient, and they are getting the majority of Americans to back them.
The Insurance Companies are not scared of the Government’s Policies, but the Governments Control over the people.
The article is the NCPA (National Center for Policy Analysis) Type in “is health spending out of control” in google. It is the first link to the NCPA website.
July 5th, 2009 on 11:21 am
Article please. Private insurance is increasing spending becuase they have more burcreacy to deny coverage and they take profits. If the government option is not more effecient and less expensive, why are insurance companies worried that the government plan will place them out of business.
July 5th, 2009 on 11:21 am
Government health programs (principally Medicare and Medicaid) and tax subsidies accounted for more than half ($1.3 trillion) of total health expenditures in 2006.
The important question is whether past government tax and spending policies can be taken off autopilot and redirected to fairly and efficiently meet the nation’s needs, including the health care needs, of Americans today and tomorrow.
It’s not going to happen any time soon.
July 5th, 2009 on 11:21 am
And decreasing Reimbursement is supposed to help…how?
The “governemnt” is not more “effecient”.
Type “Comparing Medicare and Private Health Insurance Spending” into Google. Second link.
Although private insurance spending has risen faster than Medicare spending over the past 30 years, the value of private insurance has grown just as rapidly. These data suggest that Medicare does not have an advantage over the private sector in limiting the growth of health care spending.
July 5th, 2009 on 11:21 am
The governement is decreasing reimbursement. the governemnt is more effecient. They spend less money then private insurance.
July 5th, 2009 on 11:21 am
Private Insurance is taking all of the money?
That is because it is PRIVATE. If the Government Regulated it’s damn spending and didn’t go overboard on 99% of the bills, then the money would still be there!
July 5th, 2009 on 11:21 am
I attempted to post them, they never were able to be listed because they were sites.
YouTube’s anti-scam policy.
July 5th, 2009 on 11:21 am
This is because private insurance is taking all of the money out of the system. The program would be solvent if all Americans pay taxes for the program. It would cost you less then your premiums from private healthcare. Once again please provide sources for what you are saying. I would like to read them.
July 5th, 2009 on 11:21 am
No, we don’t have a surplus of cash. We have a chunk of the debt gone, but the money is STILL TRANSPARENT.
The money will simply not be there.
July 5th, 2009 on 11:21 am
If it runs it so efficiently and keeps it stable, than why is it that by 2018, Medicare will be running a deficit of around $100 billion; compared to the overall CBO estimates of the federal deficit by then?
I’d say Medicare is incredibly stable.
July 5th, 2009 on 11:21 am
We spend twice what Canada spends in healthcare. If we go to a public system, we have a surplus of cash to pay for healthcare. I would still like to know where you are reading about this, because I would like to see the literature.
July 5th, 2009 on 11:21 am
I never stated that Private Insurance is good, I said that it is a leap of faith to assume that Health Care will be run efficiently with the Government.
Government Run Health Care requires money that we don’t have. Our current spending can not continue if the Government takes control of Health Care.
July 5th, 2009 on 11:21 am
It already runs healthcare more effeciently then private insurance and has better outcomes. There is no data to even support your belief. Please provide your sources, because I have been reading about this for awhile. If private insurance is so good, why was there a study that came out several months ago in the Annals of Internal Medicne showing that 59% of doctors want single payer. I wuld think you would want what doctors want since they are making medical decisions.

Oh, now he suddenly cares about saving us money?
The majority of Americans are already extremely dissappointed with him.
That analogy does not work. How about this.
You wake up in a room where there is a pipe bomb with a timer wrapped around your neck, and the key to stopping the bomb from going off is on a display on the far wall. You look at the display and you see an X-Ray of your skull with the key in your eye socket.
Next to your arm is a fork.
Is it worth the pain?
July 5th, 2009 on 11:21 am
You are also assuming that the Government will be able to run Health Care efficiently. That is a serious leap of faith…
