Trumpcare Could Cost Disabled Americans Their Independence (HBO) 

Yeah, everyone in Cuba and North Korea are covered. Indeed, that is the only variable you should look at.

Oprah2020 No one wants what North Korea has. how about UK, Finland, Denmark, Sweeden, Norway, New Zealand. Japan, Germany, Belgium, Kuwait, Netherlands, Austria, UAE, Luxembourg, Ireland, France, Australia, Italy, Portugal, Spain, South Korea, Iceland, Hong Kong, Switzerland.

Oprah2020 Cuba actually has good healthcare lmao what're you talking about? North Korea doesn't have healthcare, so what's your argument here?

"Free"

Erik Ruiz what about the $6.5 trillion that the Pentagon lost or the $125 billion the Pentagon pisses away just on administrative waste or the hundreds of millions for tanks the Army said repeatedly that they didn't want. No but you're getting upset over healthcare for our citizens.

Their independence to work and get out and about, not financial independence.

Taye Trotman They don’t get everything they want unfortunately. If you need care, you need care. If they want to take care of you in a residential ward so be it. That’s their decision for your care. If they feel that you cannot take care of yourself properly they’re well within their right to tell you to move to a hospital / institution. That’s life.

18% is by far the largest share of healthcare expenditures as a percentage of GDP in the OECD, and the rest of those countries have some form of universal coverage.

Ford O nah they will still bury their heads in sand until it effects them personally.

Jeff so I should not have a good quality of life simply because im disablted I was born at 27.weeks premature with all kinds of problems should I die becuse I need Goverment help in order to live somewhat of normal life besides I'm lucky to investments and my parents inheritance which will keep me going when they die also you really think charities are enough to help people just somone can't work and is economically a burden we should kill them or dump them on charities the Western countries like America can afford it your telling me your not willing to sacrifice some of your money so I can have some what of a decent life it wasn't my choice to be born at 27.weeks premature and be on a machine for one month.and to have severe heath problems anxiety fine motor problems memory problems

@Jeff A I completely understand where you yourself are coming from. • Why would anyone ask for you to bear the costs and consequences for life choices and actions you're not responsible for?! Your responsibility is for your own Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness, not someone else's right to do so. That's on Others to do so for themselves... I can't imagine being a Special Needs Parent, being in their circumstances, or the Stress and Nightmare scenario they imagine for the future. I can't imagine what they do when most reach 60 years old and beyond. Retirement itself and the benefits that go along with that is pretty much out of the question for most Special Needs Parents. Special Needs don't Retire after a certain age. After all, Disabilities don't understand that Mothers and Fathers want and need Rest and Relaxation. You also have wonder; What happens if for whatever reason, Parents themselves become Disabled?! 75% of Parents know they cannot realistically ask Other Adult Children, Other Family Members, or any Friends to take the responsibilities of their Daughters and Sons since they themselves have their own Lives to manage and they don't have the Financial wherewithal to do so. If this so called Pandemic has taught us anything; The underlying reasons for these problems is the collapsed Ponzi Scheme Entitlement System, the other Laws or Decrees that didn't take into account of Unintentional Consequences for the Financial Costs for not just the Disabled, Childcare, and Eldercare. Also, the Infrastructure, Personnel, and Economic Realities for sustainability of this type of Safety Net System. The Pandemic has exposed that the Care Model System has been upside down for decades, Wages and Benefits aren't competitive, and the Money allocated for these Services was grossly squandered for Political reasons. It goes to show you, Life has an Expiration Date but Special Needs doesn't...

HandheldCentral I hear nothing but crickets

Incest is best 👌 for senor Trump.

Banka has trump done anything positive?

When he does something positive maybe they wiil.

Blia Ailb and an update on Russia.

Then aren't we all at some point? No one is 1000% financially dependent

nope.

Whataboutism at it's finest. Yes they did, feel free to surf and find that video.

better alive with a shitty plan than to die with nothing. what they did or did not report then has no bearing on the truth of the message now.

SavageInstitute This is a fair report. Are you saying Trumpcare opposes the health insurance lobby? That would be something. How does Trumpcare improve on the ACA? Can you give some specific examples? Why are the Republicans having so much trouble with their majority? Is that the Dems fault?

The ACA was shittty because it still meant delivering healthcare through private for profit insurers which can't work. It was good in that it made it illegal to discriminate against sick people by denying them coverage which is undoubtedly good.

K Swervo cough You are stupid cough. As a person with a disability I need help because I cannot afford the help on my own this help allows me to live my life. Maybe you should think about that before you make a stupid comment

Jamie Vespucci why would you not? it’s a human life, not a dog

Caesarism Is Order you’re a disgrace. how on earth can you say that they two disabled people do not deserve to be cared for? you’re not an American and you lack the values I would say an American has.

they went bankrupt and died. happy?

What other side needed to be shown, Marc? If 30,000 - 40,000 people dying annually from preventable causes related to not having health insurance isn't a good reason, please explain to me why should I give a shit about any potential terrorist attacks or crime trends that go on here domestically? I mean, people have been killing each other for over 200 years here and everything has been fine. how did everyone do before the travel ban, for example?

I disagree with the concept of taking money out of taxes and giving things to people that do not deserve it. Health care is not a right, it should be earned and paid for in a mutually agreed contract between either the employer and the worker or the person purchasing the insurance from the insurance company. If someone does not like the service they are getting they should be free to choose another company. If we simply force doctors / insurors into a poorly devised system it will turn out like it is in other countries where the service is low quality, and takes an extremely long time to get care. Just because we get rid of Obamacare doesn't mean we get rid of insurance for people. They can still buy it like everyone else has since health insurance was created, in order to prevent becoming bankrupt from an illness. We need to get more people working and not just collecting. I have a heart and feel for people like in this video who may not be able to work and buy their own insurance, but that is not a fair example of why we need this for EVERYONE. I would agree with creating a system for people to have free or subsidized health care if they have mental or medical issues preventing them from working, but I do not agree with excuses for laziness and the ability to sit around and collect.

"I disagree with the concept of taking money out of taxes and giving things to people that do not deserve it" So do you oppose the Senate Bill then? Because it still resumes the Medicaid program and Medicare and keeps the costly regulations. It just does it in a way that is less effective to the intents that Obamacare was aiming for, while definitely not resembling a true free-market system. "Health care is not a right" Indeed, but it shouldn't be a prerogative that excludes millions of our citizens either. ", it should be earned and paid for in a mutually agreed contract between either the employer and the worker or the person purchasing the insurance from the insurance company." Why should employers be responsible for providing healthcare plans to their employers in the first-place? Or even having a system reliant on insurance coverage? For someone who has a very pro-individual bent, you sure do like more collective-powered base entities. Why not just get rid of insurance companies and employer provided plans in the first place, and make consumers and patients pay directly? I mean, that way they can actually say they're paying their fair share and not short-handing their doctors (like insurances often do). "If we simply force doctors / insurors into a poorly devised system it will turn out like it is in other countries where the service is low quality, and takes an extremely long time to get care." Obamacare doesn't affect Doctors. What's so poorly designed about Obamacare that's ruining the quality of services, which the Senate bill doesn't also share / keep? The US comes in 70th for healthcare delivery. Among OECD countries, it has higher average wait-times for physician visits than over a half-dozen countries. Healthcare premiums even doubled between 2001-2008. Yet, we still have a low old expectancy rate for a developed country, as well as infant mortality rate; all while having the highest per-captia spending for healthcare. source: " They can still buy it like everyone else has since health insurance was created, in order to prevent becoming bankrupt from an illness" the leading cause of bankruptcy in the US is actually from medical bills (62.9%). According to a study by the The American Journal of Medicine in 2009, of those who declare bankruptcy for medical-related debt, 79% were insured, and 60% had private insurance. source: www.amjmed.com/article/S0002-9343(09)00404-5/fulltext "We need to get more people working and not just collecting." 64% of medicaid recipients are either children, blind, disabled, or elderly. Most States don't offer programs that cover single adults regardless of how poor they might be. 80% of Medicaid households include working members. Furthermore, only 54% of private employers offer health insurance plans. The idea there's a mass of 'free-loaders' out there that do nothing but collect government 'welfare' their whole lives is a myth. There's no such thing as government welfare handouts that any jobless person can apply to. There's SSI for the disabled which practically always requires you to get approved by a judge and social worker based on your disability, and there's TANF (which only has 4 million recipients) which has a lifetime cap of how long recipients can take it, is only eligible for select families in certain circumstances, and has work-seeking or required job-training / education attendance, and consists of small stipends of one-to-two hundred bucks.

What about premature babies like myself who have a large chance of problems down the road that you cant identify at brith
