I made this video a few months ago to poke fun at the Anti-Government hysterics and “socialist” conspiracy theories flying around during the Health Care Reform debate. The positive response that I received inspired me to create “Josh on the Street” and make more videos! And yes, we need a public option with healthcare – just like we have with our university system.

Once again you’ve hit the nail on the head. Or should I say republican on the pin head?
Great video!
I am Canadian…and like every other industialized country in the world (except the US) we have public health care. No, it is not perfect, but at least everyone has access.
I can’t believe there is not universal access to health care in the US?!
Isn’t that a basic right?
It is all about money…people in power have money…so therefore can pay for their health insurance.
What about regular people and the working poor?
Wow…I really feel for them.
Great job to raise awareness!
Can’t wait to see your next video…you are so brilliant!!
To the last commenter, no he didn’t. Tea Baggers don’t say that all govt. run things are bad do they? They only say that govt run health care and the keynesian economics is bad.
No who didn’t what, John? As far as the tea baggers go, I’m sure they don’t say all govt. run things are bad but they sure say a whole more than “govt run health care and the keynesian economics is bad.” Anything that puts money in their pockets, like the gigantic subsidies that the giant ag conglomerates and other rich corporations get. Oh and let’s not forget all the trillions of our tax dollars that went to criminally greedy scum of the giant corporations that were “too big to fail” that was used to finance multi-million dollar bonuses to those who caused our this new depression.
Yes, when it comes to anything that they think is to their advantage, like redefining rape so that rape victims can’t legally get abortions and other forms of oppression, then the repubs in all their permutations are right there pushing for it. Anything that has redeeming social value and helps everyone instead of those they like, is a terrible socialist, liberal, and whatever else they can dream, up plot.
Remember Nazis? Well the teabaggers are their current equivalent except they haven’t been able to destroy all opposition and take over the country, or any others yet.
