Yo doc Gupta - PREMIUMS, DEDUCTIBLES CO-PAYS AREN'T FREE!
Edited on Wed Jul-11-07 09:40 AM by K8-EEE
And hiring lawyers just to get your claim paid (which more and more people have to do) sure isn't free.

He says the taxes in France are "substantial" but what about the cost of the health care packages they offer WalMart employees? SUBSTANTIAL ENOUGH? Like, 30% of your paycheck when you are paid under poverty level? Not to mention all the costs you have to incur even if you have said insurance?

Of course, the more money you have, the better your benefits and the less you pay out of pocket. THAT MAKES SENSE!

1. Actually Wal*Mart ALREADY relies on gov't subsidized healthcare
Employees wind up using whatever county/state services are already available. Wal Mart sure doesn't think gov't sponsored health care is a bad thing.

4. More like he thinks WE'RE stupid.....!!!
It's the same thing they did with F-911, they couldn't really argue with his facts so they're like "you present the facts selectively to make it seem like the war was stupid idea!" Guess what....IT WAS A STUPID IDEA! Except for the few people making money on it. Just like our health care "system." Doc G is def on the take. Jesus every other commercial on CNN is for some damn pill!

6. Well he KNOWS that 29% is... and I guess he's betting on another 20
or so that might be swayed by such blatant lying.

Geez... will those people ever start thinking...
