The College Republican group began a blog where they e-mailed Republicans and asked everyone to write on the blog their "horror stories" of health care in countries that had national health care. Now remember, those e-mails only went out to registered Republicans. Well, someone close to me was one of those so contacted and I was with her when she went on the blog. I would have LOVED to have seen the faces of those earnest young Republicans when they saw the responses they were getting from THEIR OWN SUPPORTERS. 80% of the responses are from people giving their horror stories of the health care they have received IN THIS COUNTRY because of the insurance companies. And many of those responding SCOLDED THEIR OWN PARTY for fighting against reform and for putting the insurance companies before the people. I bet that is not the response they were looking for.
Reform...or government controlled healthcare. There's a big difference. I'm for reform, but I'm entirely against government run healthcare.
Ask and you shall receive. Tell Us Your Health Care Horror Story | College Republican National Committee (http://collegerepublicans.org/blogs/zach-howell/tell-us-your-health-care-horror-story?dsq=15149113#comment-15149113 - broken link)
That explains why 85-90 percent of people that have private insurance are happy with said insurance. And why 54% of ALL Americans are opposed to national health plan the Dems want.
It all makes sense now. LMAO.
If these insurance companies are so bad why don't the DAs in these states go after them?
Denying coverage to someone that paid for coverage is fraud, breaking a contract and I'm sure a bunch of other things. Actually if the policy or money was mailed then the Feds could go after these evil insurance companies. We don't even need a new bill to do it. If only Obama would enforce existing laws that already exist. It'd be a lot cheaper too.
Looks like all that cold air in the north pole just might be getting to your brain....

What would be so surprising about that? If asked for me to list horror stories of dealing with other individuals kids, I could find pleanty of horror stories of dealing with my own. How about law enforcement, since people can list horror stories of dealing with police, are you saying we should nationalize them? How about the post office? I can tell you more horror stories of dealing with american post offices than I can dealing with ones in Nigeria.. and yes, I've actually sent many packages to other countries, including Nigeria...
And considering we're talking about college kids, I'm assuming they dont have 20+ years of international travel to be able to experience hospital stays in other countries.
I checked out the link, many horror stories there from other countries, canada, scotland, etc
And finally, the blog says NOTHING about tell us your "international" stories, its all stories Do you or someone you know have a health care horror story to tell? Email us at team@crnc.org or comment on our blog below.
Your posting saying they wanted horror stories from those with experience in other countries is just plain wrong and dishonest...they wanted all of them..

Ahh yes and you have ONE right winger bring up how they pay for their medical services in cash, how little they spend, how they got an individual health insurance plan for $50 a month and you just expect people to clap and applaud?
You attack this thread because people in the link bring up their horror stories with the American health care system/ American health insurance companies but if any DARE attack the thread on the bottom we're all blinded by the left-wing rhetoric? https://www.city-data.com/forum/polit...r-today-i.html
If only we had a smiley that was rolling over with laughter.
Twisting and turning slowly in the wind. Pretty sorry state of affairs when people are hoist on their own petards. But when you live in a bubble and only listen to the echos of your own voice it is easy to miss the approaching thunder clouds.

I attacked this thread because its yet another liberal lie posting. Did you even read the op? It says that Republicans wanted horror stories dealing with OTHER countries, but the link very clearly does not ask for other country stories, it asks for ALL stories.

When a bill promoting "government controlled healthcare" is pushed, please start a thread about it, I'd love to read it because it doesn't currently exist and isn't being discussed this side of reality.
There are 22 comments and some many are DOCTOR issues not insurance issues. It is bad doctors nothing to do with the insurance.
Of course there are horror stories but again over 80% of people are happy with their health care.
