@tindallpe In many states they don't need regulations on insurance companies, or social security or medicare, etc. Then why force it down their throats? Having a one size fits all mentality for fed. standards is what is hurting this country, it goes beyond health care. Minimum wage, EPA, education, etc. Allowing the states to control those things will save money eliminate problems. FDR brought on a lot of problems I now have to pay for by increasing the fed. gov.

@lordrazr .....Comparing our two countries in terms of life expectancy is pointless when trying to make a health care issue. There are too many variables. Canada most likely also have cleaner air because in some areas of the US there are cities in the valley trapping in any sort of polluiton where in Canada they don't have a huge pollution problem. If you were educated you will see things like that but like most people you don't.

@JbmxG89 Where it saids that people have the right to life and happiness that means the government can't take it away. If someone called you a name it probably made them happy, the government can't take his happiness away to make you happy. Same with taking people's money to give to others to make them happy, you can't take someone's happiness to make someone else happy. That is all that means, the government can't hinder someone happiness.

@JbmxG89 It seems that in all countries the ones that complain about healh care are the really sick. I am broke but i love our system. People that are really sick seem to hate their system. If privatize they can't afford it, if public it isn't good enough. I like the idea that I can eventually save enough money that if something terrible happens I can get great coverage. Also, the US colleges are great, that is why people from Korea, GB, India, Canada, etc. love it.

@tindallpe First, you can't compare the US to Canada, we are two completely different countries with different societies, climates, environments, etc., so different health problems. Also, we have better quality of health care because money is spent in a manner where it isn't given away but spent on people and things that will actually become benefitial to the country. If people want health care they need to talk to their governor, it is unconstitutional for the fed. gov. to run it.

@JbmxG89 ....computer science degrees and then use them at home. I had professors from India, Britain, Mexico, Canada, etc. that say our colleges are the best in the work and theirs can't compare. Our secondary education lacks, I agree (which is a society issue) but our colleges are great because people chose to go and pay for it themselves(for the most part). The people the do pay for themselves and don't receive federal grants or help from parents usually do the best....

@JbmxG89 Still doesn't account for the number of people coming to the US for college and a number of professors and students from other countries giving high praise for the college education system in the US.

@tindallpe It is unconstitutional for the US to have health care reform on the federal level. The idea behind that is to not allow the federal government to grow and become too controlling and allow the staes to govern themselves. States can have health care reform and Vermont now has socialize medicine, the wanted it and they got it. But people in FL or MO don't want it so why should they have it? We have gone away from the constitutional roots and now we have problems thanks to pres. like FDR

We can't compare our health care to others. We are ranked 37 in service, but in terms of quality and technology we are the best because it is private. Same with our colleges, it is not secret why people come to the US for college, we have a private system that is the best. Our private schools are better than public. If we had government health care it would be terrible. Beck is a bit crazy but he does bring up some good points, Cenk doesn't.

@JbmxG89 Minimum wage should be ran by the states and should be dropped in some states. I can live great on $7.25/hour in a small midwest town, but try to live off of that on the coast, or in the big city. You have now idea what you are talking about. The idea of the constittution was that the federal government provides us with a universal currency, a federal army for protection and foreign affairs, and grant us basic rights that it can't use to gain power (like speech, bear arms, etc.)....

@JbmxG89 ....All the other rights should be ran by the states. Cost of living is different in every state so why set a once size fits all minimum wage? Let the states set one that best suits them. Same for EPA, each state deals with different environmental issues, states deal with different health issue. Let the states govern themselves. The other idea of the constitution is that us as US citizens have the fed. gov. to run back to when a state gets too big....

@tindallpe The federal government shouldn't provide guidelines or control the funds, it doesn't say anywhere in the constitution that the federal government has those responsibilities, those are state responsibilities. States should set guidelines in insurance if necessary. Our country was founded with the idea of not having a big central government and allow the states to control themselves. Just read the idea in creating the US constitution and you will see what I mean.

@JbmxG89 I don't mind a state run social program to help people, but when people refuse to pull their own weight or keep living off of others then that is when the problem happens.

@JbmxG89 ....Our college system is the best. Other countries may have great colleges as a whole our colleges are better than any other. And if health care was socialize there wouldn't be a cure for terminal cancer, or it wouldn't be efficient. To much money would be given away to help people with "diseases" like obesity or other problems they can fix themselves leaving lack of funds for actual problems. When money is given away it is wasted, privatization means money is manage better.

@JbmxG89 That is one of two of the biggest problem right now in the US (one being the uncontrolling growth of the federal government, health care is a state issue). People want the safety net of the government, I do. It should be done at the state level. A public option in health care would be great but when that net becomes a crutch that is when the problem happens.

@JbmxG89 South Korea society prides itself on being educated. Parents, privately, pay to send their kids to after school programs to study for 5-6 hours which is why their test scores are so high. Their public education system isn't that great their society just looks highly on education and send their kids to programs they pay for. I worked with a person doing research from S. Korea and he said their colleges suck and ours are way better. People from India come to here to .....

@lordrazr You can't compare us to Canada. Canada is a completely different country so overall a different society. They may live longer but you also have to look it as they have lower violent crime because living in the cold area can have a different effect on people. They don't travel so much and tend to be closer to others. Also, the US has to deal with Mexico and Juarez, Mexico which is the most violent city in the world. They bring violence and death in the US....

@JbmxG89 I have a professor from the UK. It took him 2 years to get a PhD in physics, it will take me 4+ years if I so decide to do it. In the UK they go right to a research group and work for 2 years and then get a degree, in the US you spend a year of classes then start research and do more classes. They have a different curriculum but not really better. My professor told me that the US in some ways is better then the UK at least in physics.

@JbmxG89 ....If a state ran health care and someone wrote an article in a paper criticizing it then we are protected by our first admendment to do so. If the fed. gov. ran it and someone tried to write an article criticizing it the fed. gov. won't allow it or conteract with some made up information themselves. They will control our lives and we will have no where to run. The founding fathers set up our constitution the way it is for a reason, we have gone away from that and it created problems.
