In less than 90 seconds the new video highlights the upside-down priorities of Oregons Medicaid system. Lobbying groups have used the political process to push Health reform for special-interest causes like substance abuse and weight loss treatment ahead of treatments for some kinds of cancer on the priority list.

@DoomHamster5197 ever wonder what is the government? Its the people making laws. In simple terms, U may think government is the country, but it actually means more than 51% of americans are stupid and dont know what is good for the country.
Remember, the government is as Smart as the majority of people that represents.
lol Funny how they …
lol Funny how they keep trying to stop healthcare, keep it up, you dont know it yet, but the USA healthcare system with HMOs plain and simple SUCKED.
About that “tobacco, fat and depression covered” item, its called PREVENTATIVE Healthcare, something in US you NEVER practice, u plain and simple wait for diseases to occur and Oh well, lets begin treatment.
This is not a political view, its simple what I have observed with plain and simple eyes as a citizen

The FIB would fall …
The FIB would fall under the premise of “common defense,” and so would the military. The DMV is under the 10th amend. it’s a state task. My 911 services and those that come to my house when I call are not from the federal gov’t. Apples to oranges. So, you still can’t name one gov’t program that was on time and on budget? I think the archives demonstrate your lack of knowledge on this issue.

I get the impression that you think the gov is competing with private industry. That is not the role of the government in hardly anything. They take on the jobs that the private industry fail at or succeed at the cost of the end user. NASA, DMV, the military, libraries, highways, FDA, NSA, FBI, 911, etc, etc, etc.
The issue of them being on time or budget is a question of method, not whether the idea is sound. There is always room for that type of improvement.
SCOOP: You make a …
SCOOP: You make a good point, there are all kinds of gov’t initiatives (glad you agree with me on that) that are unconstitutional. There are ways of amending the Const. People who want to “interpret” it to mean the federal gov’t can provide HC or education can amend it. So, you can’t name one gov’t program that was on time and on budget? You have no details Scoop, sorry.

@UTubekookdetector
AGAIN – You are mistaking me not spoon feeding you for “no details.” It would take hundreds of lines to explain to you what went wrong in MA health.
In your previous post you made it very clear, “99% of gov’t initiatives” are inferior in some way to other programs. So i was suggesting we follow that logic and see where it takes us.
That’s the great thing about the constitution, it is meant to be interpreted. Where does it say the gov can regulate cable?
SCOOP: Now you’re …
SCOOP: Now you’re going off on an unrelated rant. You’re suggesting google? LOL Try reading a book kiddo. So, no details on MA’s health care debacle? I thought so. You were buying time with generalization. I never said anything about getting rid of the military, although we could cut the fat there too. Tell me, where is education mentioned in the US Constitution?
CREW: Glad to see …
CREW: Glad to see you’ve learned that Alberta (as well as our Medicre system) is in a giant fiscal hole. Is the yawn your way of buying time? HC has become more expensive here for 2 reasons: 1) Many of these great operations are costly. 2) More and more payments are covered by the gov’t or a third-party payer. But I’m sure you already knew that. What % of HC dollars are out-of-pocket in the US today?

@UTubekookdetector
Your logic: Lets get rid of the military, public schools, roads, and libraries. Hell, lets remove every gov. agency that ensures minimal standards on almost everything in our lives. Better question to you: Show me one industry that was better for PEOPLE before the gov. started regulating it.
I cant really explain “poorly planned” in a comment section on youtube… if your actually interested in facts i would suggest google. Im not defending MA’s bad health care.

Yawn…you have a affordable health-care system now, you can’t just be happy.
Alberta maybe on the verge of bankruptcy, but that’s only one province your talking about.
SCOOP: Don’t bury …
SCOOP: Don’t bury me in details. If you expect me to defend Mitt Romney’s socialized medicine, you’re dumber than I though. Would you care to expand on that “poorly planned” comment? That seems to be a problem with 99% of gov’t initiatives. MA has an individual mandate like ObamaCare and it’s hundreds of millions in the hole, just like Medicare (except it’s trillions in the hole). Name one gov’t program that was on time and on budget.
CREW: We don’t have …
CREW: We don’t have national health care… yet. Each state has a lot of freedom (the # and type of mandates, as well as ability to vary premiums varies greatly, as well as state ability to enforce anti-trust laws), well for now they do. I was talking about Alberta specifically.
CREW: First of all, …
CREW: First of all, our Constitution doesn’t give the gov’t the authority to nationalize the economy en masse, nor does it give the gov’t the authority to force someone to provide a product or service for a discounted price (price controls–which is a big theme in Medicare and Medicaid). I could say, “What’s wrong with affordable housing” but everyone here knows how that turned out with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac artificially stimulating the market with Mortgage-backed securities.
@UTubekookdetector …
@UTubekookdetector
You want me to explain why Mitt Romney’s (Republican lol) health care plan failed? Um… because it was poorly planned, executed, and now being poorly planned again. A perfect example of why a half assed health care overhaul is stupid. Any other obvious things i can point out for you?
Whats wrong with …
Whats wrong with affordable Healthcare?
Do no harm is the old doctor saying right!?
You want your pocket book to hurt, just to get healthcare?

@UTubekookdetector
Are you referring to Alberta or each individual provinces?
Healthcare regulations go province to province in Canada (same idea as State to State). But, the U.S. has National Healthcare.
