Nov 16, 2008 - Doesn't insurance help drive up costs in the first place? Never understood it?

airandfingers Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - This video is a really good explanation of health insurance. Health insurance doesn't drive up costs.. Did you watch the video?

Nov 18, 2008 - Michael Moore is a Joke. Who do you think is going to pay for this free health care in America? ME! The hard working middle class that pays taxes to support poor lazy people

Phantasmvlog Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Simple explanation. The video didn't address the fact that insurance is a for profit business.

Nov 18, 2008 - this video is missing something..it doesn't show the money that goes straight to the pocket of the insurance company to make them richI know some people who are very rich because they work for insurance company..and of course, the company sucks because they don't have much money to spend when people make a claim

Nov 21, 2008 - And Health Insurance companies can increase their profit by finding a way to refuse coverage :) That makes shareholders happy which keeps the Board of Directors happy which makes the CEO happy :) If Gary can't get healthy, he'll lose his job, then his policy will sunset and he can go on MedicAid so the taxpayers can pay what the insurance company was able to avoid :)

Nov 21, 2008 - Lol medical care is free here in finland. All the moneys are taken from taxes.

Nov 21, 2008 - So if I understand this right, this means because I am a vegetarian who works out and takes care of myself but still pays health insurance premiums at work, I am paying for you fat bastards who smoke and eat anything and never exercise?

dtolab Says:

Nov 22, 2008 - LeoHareMusic, didnt u see the example of the tree accident of the healthy guy? the same can happen to you, and treating this could cost more than dealing the fat guys illnesses for his whole life.

aweiss Says:

Dec 2, 2008 - So... it is NOT free.

aweiss Says:

Dec 2, 2008 - Actually almost all denies are from HMOs government backed companies. The free-market ones don't really get much denies.

NonsenseTeens Says:

Dec 3, 2008 - Great video!:D

tophergrant Says:

Dec 5, 2008 - Not true - Chronic illness usually cost much more than a possible accident. Also, each year more americans die from obesity and obesity related illnesses than all accidents combined. Although it's still smart to be covered if you're healthy, if you have to pick one or the other, it's better pick being healthy.

inofulwell Says:

Dec 7, 2008 - Amen! It is how insurers want you to THINK it works. LOL

mApoll0 Says:

Dec 8, 2008 - same with socialized med//

acnex Says:

Dec 9, 2008 - Insurance should be eliminated and replaced with charities.

Hapinasu1 Says:

Dec 10, 2008 - Why does being vegetarian have to do with anything? We, as humans, ARE MEATEATERS. It's out nature. In no way does being a vegetarian put you above anyone else.

LikeYoung Says:

Dec 17, 2008 - yeah it does. Go watch something being slaughtered. Then ask yourself if you have the moral high ground.
