PLEASE HELP US SHARE THIS VIDEO. On March 16, 2010, Tea Partiers from around the country gathered (in disappointing numbers) in front of the Capitol building for their final protest against health care reform. Also in town, appropriately, was Barnum & Bailey’s actual circus. The protestors voiced their usual conspiratorial concerns about healthcare reform: that it was a government takeover and more government, of course, equals less freedom; that it would euthanize seniors too expensive to treat; and that the bill would sink the nation into irrecoverable debt, despite its actually reducing the deficit by more than 0-billion over the next ten years. Averse to facts, no one interviewed was able to cite evidence for their false beliefs about the reform proposal, and instead suggested we seek the “truth” from Glenn Beck and Fox News. THE PROPOSAL The healthcare reform proposal being advanced in congress, while imperfect, would bring long overdue changes to a broken system. Far from being rushed, the proposals that make up this reform have been debated for years, and this congress has been working on a bill for many months. It’s time for an up or down vote on reform. The proposal will expand healthcare access to over 30-million uninsured Americans, make healthcare more affordable for everyone, hold insurance companies more accountable, end discrimination against Americans with pre-existing conditions, and help stabilize our budget and economy by reducing the deficit by over …

Tea Party…Circus…..Those two go hand in hand.
@xchaoskinx These Tea Partiers are people who want to take capitalism to an extreme and use medical emergencies as a way to bully money out of people who are desperate. In my country, the Republican party is pushing hard to enslave the population by making them desperate for food and necessities and so fourth. They’re bad people the republicans and certainly the party of satan.
i’m a canadian, we pay for our healthcare through higher taxes on luxury items like smokes and beer. these are the things that put you in the hospital and no one needs them to survive. my father had sixtuplet heart bypass surgery and we still had a family home. my mother recently died of pancreatic cancer and she was cared for, in comfort and relatively pain free until her last day on earth. we would have lost everything we had if forced to pay. don’t be influenced by insurance companies.
Great job, guys.
@DTansy You’re an idiot and you have no idea how things work over here. You just believe everything you hear on Fox News.
@DTansy No, you’re not being logical. My country has great doctors and we have nationalized healthcare. What the hell are you talking about.
nooo we had a huge war the screwed our economy now we must pay with our own money that shit aint free…………
@MusicMaidenhead – ” pick apart your points” There wasn’t a SINGLE actual “point”, except to TRY to denigrate the “Taxed Enough Already” Partiers. Since the Democrap Socialists AREN’T screaming “RACISM” at the drop of a hat anymore, they haven’t got a single “point” to make that isn’t obvious BULLSHIT.
Have fun with that!
Dude. Don’t worry about the idiot, seems to like to pick apart your points, take them out of perspective and pull them apart……just let the United States burn itself out. Humans are creatures of habit. That whole country will fight itself, yet again, and when they ask for assistance, we’ll give it……like always.
@urantivirus – Remember, access to a WAITING LIST is NOT the same thing as access to a DOCTOR.
Oh, Canada!
@thatsmyrail – “Having a national healthcare system doesn’t mean that you have good doctors”
It doesn’t matter if you have GREAT doctors, if a federal stooge decides whether YOU “need” them. The U.S. HAS good doctors, and the Hill-Burton Act, that allows ANY human w/ a medical emergency to be seen at ANY time of the day or night w/ or w/o insurance, citizen or not. We have GOOD doctors BECAUSE we have no “nationalized” healthcare.
@VinceFSU07 – Once again, “”You know the HORRIBLE “secret” about FACTS, doncha?”
“Truth” can be subjective, FACTS are NOT. “Yahweh” (GOD of the KJV Bible) is TRUTH to a christian, but not to an Athiest. A ROCK is ROCK to everyone. That’s FACT, and it is NOT subject to what someone believes or disbelieves. Your simple-minded attempt to derail FACT doesn’t make it LESS factual, dumbass.
Good TRY, though.
@urantivirus – “I’d rather wait and have everyone covered”
Then thank the powers that be you’re Canadian! I’ve already said, “We don’t give a damn that your “free” healthcare doesn’t allow you to actually visit doctors, and we don’t mind that your “leaders” come here for ACTUAL care, when it’s “free” there.”
Good luck with that!

Hello black kid!
@DTansy (“about 17 percent of the Canadian population is on waiting lists for access to a primary care doctor, a fact that has motivated many legal challenges to the current system.” File under- “You Get What You Pay For”?)
…
Total bullshit. And for the record, I’d rather wait and have everyone covered. As a Canadian, the American health care system makes me sick. No worries though! If I get sick, I’ll be covered indefinitely. Even if it is a preexisting condition.
@DTansy Makes no sense. Having a national healthcare system doesn’t mean that you have good doctors.
@DTansy Well as i’m sure many others have said before you have no idea what socialism is, and I’am prety sure you havent even read a single paragraph or sentence of the healthcare bill. Your arguements are purely subjective, and judging from your syntax you are uneducated. This makes it hysterical that your would chastise valuable information sources and lable them as bias, yet ardently watch fox and think it’s unbias. Stereorypical, keep being the sheep while the media giant manipulates you
@jorge0214 – “people who smoke” The fedgov makes more money from every pack of cigarettes sold in America than ANY tobacco company. (Research THAT) The fed then simply ROBBED tobacco, under the guise of “reimbursing” States for smoker’s “health problems” caused BY smoking. I believe the robbery was some $20 BILLION?
@AlvinHDavernport – IF ol Hopey-changey had started “mandating” INSURANCE company reforms, instead of what Americans “WILL BUY” to appease the government, he would’ve seen some LOVE from both sides of the aisle, as pertains to Health, and healthcare. Only the severely dysfunctional could possibly believe ANY government “cares” about actual PEOPLE, rather than just what money they can suck out of them.
@VinceFSU07 – “Not all democrats are the communist drones you think of”
Actually, ALL of what today passes for a “Democrat” ARE, in fact, the “New Party” Democrat SOCIALIST, ala Obamunism, Nasty Pelosi, Harry Reid, Andre Carson, the SEIU, the NAACP, all simple gutless party-drones too cowardly to PUBLICALLY ADMIT their association with the word SOCIALIST.
The REAL Democratic party pretty much died with J.F. Kennedy, not the drunken miscreant DED TED.
@DTansy That’s a good point, and I really wouldn’t want to give up the quality of the treatment we get, seeing as our cancer survival rates are higher than those of any country with nationalized healthcare, including the richest European countries, but I still think amendments should be made to the system so as to ensure that all American citizens can get access to our high-quality care. The solution cannot be socialized medicine, of course, but there has to be one somewhere.
@DTansy No my facts come from published medical journals( i.e. highbeam research), the bbc, cnn, the economist, and foreign affairs (it’s a magazine). Not all democrats are the communist drones you think of in your double wide while you clutch your tv (with fox news streaming)/carton of marlboro reds/ with your 2liter of mountain dew. btw your not required to “buy” the healthcare plan, there is nothing in the bill that says it’s mandadory. Did you say “mucky”, what are you retarded?
@VinceFSU07 – Did you miss this part?
“You know the HORRIBLE “secret” about FACTS, doncha?”
Did you read that, oh hopey-changey leftneck? Is there ANY incorrect info, any “lie”? TRUTH requires NO Beck, NO Limbaugh, and NO VinceFSU07 to SPIN it. Can you dig it? ”
You are STILL no help to your Savior here, so go lay down and lick your tiny nuts.
@AlvinHDavernport – Wow, a reasonable person… now Al, the REASON we have the best Drs., tech, and treatments is the FREE MARKET. The hopey-changey One didn’t attempt to “amend” the SYSTEM, that would’ve meant changing INSURANCE COMPANIES, not frontline DOCTORS, and who can see them, via FedGov Stooge. Can you say “POWER GRAB”? SCREW Obamunism, and disguised socialist DEMOCRAP.
@VinceFSU07 – “the BIG picture” – The “facts” for those like you seem to be whatever the “Savior” of all mankind tells you it is. The bottom line (REALITY CHECK) is that it was unconstitutional for the Douche to attempt to DICTATE anything at all. That’s a FACT, you second-string douchebag. “Actual research” amounts to simply entering the names of Kings, Premiers, and other high mucky-mucks that come HERE for their medical treatments. But, blind ignorance becomes you.
