Professor Warren debunks a few healthcare myths and presents some shocking statistics about our healthcare, including that 75% of people who had to declare bankruptcy due to medical issues already carried health insurance before they got sick.

She's someone who will more than Likely be a US Senator in approximately 11 months.
And unlike you, she has no vested interest in Big Healthcare.

LMAO. I have no vested interest in healthcare other than trying to be able to continue to provide it to my employees.

Apparently you still dont know how the Federal Government works. I care about how she votes, but not about her thoughts on health care if such a vague and meaningless statistic is what stands out to the OP.

Same thing I have done in every other thread for the past 4 1/2 years. Your memory is about as strong as your grasp on the structure of the Federal government apparently.

In 2001, 1.458 million American families filed for bankruptcy. To investigate medical contributors to bankruptcy, we surveyed 1,771 personal bankruptcy filers in five federal courts and subsequently completed in-depth interviews with 931 of them. About half cited medical causes, which indicates that 1.9–2.2 million Americans (filers plus dependents) experienced medical bankruptcy. Among those whose illnesses led to bankruptcy, out-of-pocket costs averaged $11,854 since the start of illness; 75.7 percent had insurance at the onset of illness. Medical debtors were 42 percent more likely than other debtors to experience lapses in coverage. Even middle-class insured families often fall prey to financial catastrophe when sick.

Study Links Medical Costs and Personal Bankruptcy
Harvard researchers say 62% of all personal bankruptcies in the U.S. in 2007 were caused by health problems—and 78% of those filers had insurance

Does that mean that we can ignore all of these people with Doctorates claiming that there's no anthropic element to global warming/no climate change at all, then? All they have is meaningless statistics and a sheepskin as well.

You give your sock puppets health care ? I would have thought it cheaper just to make up another new name.

I would have thought that the fact some 750,000 people a year (and these are old figures) travel from the US for health tourism should be a concern. You would soon be moaning if so many travellled abroad to buy a car or something.
