Rangel is saying there is no increased demand for free things.

This dude, Jan, is great. Rangels "reasoning" is illogical.
Why does the guy ... ( 2 months ago by kevinabt)
Why does the guy get so upset about this very simple and straight forward observation of fact. Having people use a service more and also not worry about getting the best price is a logical outcome of making the service free to them. The congressperson doesn't need to avoid admitting this, all he needs to do is say "Yes, this is one of the short comings of the system we have which is increasing the bills paid by taxpayers."
Actually, I can't ... ( 2 months ago by 997GT378)
Actually, I can't remember who did the study (ill look for it) but in Canada, the rate of people who seek care, is divided along income levels at rates no different than in the US. The big difference however, is that Canadian Health systems suffer a 25% higher mortality rate for things like cancer and heart disease.
Rangel came off a ... ( 2 months ago by JiveDadson)
Rangel came off a lot better than the others that Helfeld interviewed. He didn't blow up, and he answered the questions directly. The claim that poor people get sick more than rich people is plausible. I doubt that it's true. Not unless the poor people are extremely poor by US standards. But it is plausible.

Haha somewhat less evasive.
Rangel doesn't know ... ( 2 months ago by crowtservo)
Rangel doesn't know anything about medicine. He's gonna get ulcers from Jan's piercing questoins? Ulcers are caused by bacteria, so does Jan's questions have bacteria all over them?
What Rangle so ... ( 2 months ago by jcompt666)
What Rangle so deftly avoids is addressing the fact that the reason heath care is so expensive in the first place is precisely because of the insurance system. No one, including many doctors knows how much a typical doctor's visit costs. the average person's deductible will cover it. Are you being overcharged? Well, just look at the actual pricing on your hospital or doctor's bill. The insurance system acts as a de facto price control system, resulting in price increases and shortages.
Because poor people ... ( 2 months ago by leafwatch)
Because poor people often believe they are getting something for nothing, they're more easily talked into unnecessary medicines and surgeries that harm them while boosting profits for mega drug companies and high tech medical providers.

Rangel is a member of the parasite class. He takes advantage of all the largess that comes his way as long as somebody else pays for it.

Apparently, people use free services more than those they have to pay for...weird.
It's not the ... ( 2 months ago by xxxTUGGYxxx)
It's not the doctors, its the patients wanting more services when they know it is free. The reason they get more operations after medicare/medicaid they can actually get them and not worry about bills. True that this benefit is being abused, we get sooooooo many patients on medicare or aid come in for the SMALLEST things
I think Charlie ... ( 2 months ago by Bigz85020)
I think Charlie Rangel did very well defending his position in this interview. He didn't persuade me to change my opinion but he held his ground, Unlike Pelosi. If we had a free market health care system, and the country had a prosperous economy, health care would still be provided for free by volunteer organizations. It is a mistake for people to assume that just because the government isn't providing a service that the service won't exist.
Kudos to one pol ... ( 2 months ago by Nickelodeon2002)
Kudos to one pol for at least staying congenial with Jan....I have more respect for Rangle in that he at least will duke it out in a civilized & reasoned fashion. It doesn't mean he's right...but at least he didn't ask the camera be cut off or interview ended just because he was being asked questions that strike deep to his core beliefs....even if those beliefs have no bearing on personal freedom or deep morals.
Wow, that was first ... ( 2 months ago by scdecade)
Wow, that was first rate entertainment. When it dawned on Charlie that he couldn't gloss over economic reality he simply amplified his BS to obscure.
Actually, both ... ( 2 months ago by BRYAN351)
Actually, both Charlie and Jan were right on certain points. Philosophically, I agree with Jan, but Charlie was right in that poor people get sick more often than non-poor people, so that's why they see doctors more often since medicaid entered the picture.
But, Jan was absolutely correct in that if healthcare is government provided, and viewed as "free," then people don't give a rat's ass about cost, and don't shop around like they do when they're paying for something themselves.
The Republicans ... ( 2 months ago by fahs)
The Republicans have a rule that if indicted they lose thier chairmanship.
Democrats have not such rule, so Rangle stays despite not paying any taxes.
Libs, go ahead and call names and make excuses with profainity laded replies. I am no REPUBLICRAT. Rangel needs to go!

and he is charge of american tax policy...put his in jail.

Rangel is truly an immoral, narcissistic, ignoramus. He is one of the chief thieves for the gov't. He should be shunned by all freedom loving people.
