[excerpted from blog story -] Xvid/MP3 AVI - 624x464 cq6 - encoded from clean composite SD video source ----- December 17, 2009 04:11 PM EST by John Stossel Tonight’s Show (8pm ET / 5pm PT): The Real Problem with Health Care Fox News reports today that the Senate health “reform†bill is in danger from liberal Democrats. Former Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean said: "I know health reform when I see it, and there isn't much left in the Senate bill." He’s right. It isn’t “reformâ€. But expanding the government’s role in healthcare isn’t reform either. And why does the media call what Congress does, health “reformâ€? The definition of reform is: making something better. I don’t know that what Congress does will make our system better. Much of what Congress does makes life worse. Tonight’s show (8pm ET / 5pm PT) is about government’s promises. The “reformers†say they will improve American health care, and slow the growth in costs. To believe that Congress will do this is magical thinking. They won’t keep costs under control. Medicare was supposed to cost $12 billion a year by 1990, but the actual cost was $110 billion. In the UK, the government-run system has tripled per-person spending since 1990 – a much bigger increase than is the US. My studio audience includes single-payer activists and members of the NYU Young Communist Club. They will give Whole Foods’ CEO John Mackey and me a hard time. Mackey’s stores were boycotted by “progressives†after he wrote an Op Ed that was critical of Government-Care. Hope you can join us tonight on Fox Business. If you cannot, the health care show will be re-broadcast Friday night at 10 (against my old program, 20/20!), Saturday at 7PM EST, and Sunday at 11PM EST.

Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you for sharing this alternative point of view.
^ yeah, alternative to reality.
Stossel is garbage. He is a liar, pure and simple. The man takes money from the industries he purports to 'report' on, and his presentations (like this one) are nothing more than press releases from the corporations in question.
Stossel's Healthcare Distortions -
One-sided report omits context - and facts: http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=3189
Unlike Stossel, FAIR isn't in it for the money - but don't take their word for it, fact check the subject for yourself (making sure that your information sources aren't coming directly from the companies themselves, or their front groups...Read the 'about us' sections of websites). The man is a liar, and your own research will prove that to you.
More of his trouble with the truth here: http://thinkprogress.org/2009/08/27/stossel-death-panel/
Again, verify the facts for yourself.

The two websites cited are from progressive organizations, they lobby(ied) for the HC bill, helped to build it; the administration grew up out of and among the same cadre of folks who are behind these organizations.
Libertarian and progressive viewpoints tend to be in opposition. It only makes sense that from one perspective, the other may appear to be distortion in the minds of some.
I don't care about that. Arguments about the "reality" aside, my view is simply that government (especially at the Federal level) has no legal role in setting, managing, or regulating HC policy. Or, absent any Supreme Court decisions to the contrary, ought not have one in a free society.

Thank you skJGZV6z and all those who appreciate freedom and understand what the loss would mean...
nonsense, uploader - pure nonsense. Glaring that you attack the linked sites from a partisan angle rather than attacking the facts found there. Shoot the messenger, avoid the message. Stossel is a yellow journalist - he's been busted for stretching the facts and excluding relevant information multiple times. It's fine to have an ideological opposition to socializing the costs of healthcare the way we do with libraries and police, but you can't claim it makes any fiscal sense. When you add multiple layers of middlemen that all require profit, you raise the cost of the service, and that is an inescapable fact.
Stossel and his "facts". Brought to you by Fox News....The only 'news' organization to ever go to court to fight for their right to lie:

“The modern conservative is engaged in one of man’s oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.”

redactedwv - Could your hypocrisy of accusing other people of attacking the messenger rather than the message be any more obvious?
