- Geoff Ginter, a certified medical assistant from Pine Beach and whose wife had cancer, took to the microphone to angrily confront MacArthur at a Willingoboro, N.J. town hall meeting. MacArthur is credited as reviving the Republican health care bill. (Source: C-Span)
Calling him out in front of the world. My applause to this courageous man.
that's not courage. If he thinks he can do better, then he should run for power and become the change. It's easy to criticize, it's difficult to act. Do u even know how difficult it is to join either the democrat or republican party? It's politics and you gotta know how to play the game.
While I agree with this father/husband, it makes me sad that in an alternate universe... there is a Rep Tom MacArthur who sided with the democrats on the ACA and he is being "Chewed out" to the same extreme by a Republican constituent. You can't win!
He'll be speaking at our rally on July 30th in Washington D.C.
Jerseyboy😊
It's always nice to see citizens letting their Representatives know exactly how they're doing.

That's not why they didn't clap. Its the same reason why the Republicans didn't clap when Obama was giving his speech. Party politics.
@Darlene Pedersen they didn't clap because he lied and obfuscated and doesn't give a damn about people.
I'll admit. I haven't seen a take down of a politician quite like this.
Should put him in the press core at the white house
George gallaway taking down the Senate was. Impressive
Yup. Dude got lit up.
Wow maybe you can take up a collection for him for his insurance. He does so good at putting polititions down, someone can pay him for such a service well done. Hope someone will throw some nickles and dimes. And maybe a few dollars. And if he gets rich off of his stand up putting polititions down he can help pay someone else's insurance!
@@knoxjones3273 ha ha. He reminds me of those people the police stop and they go off the deep end. Like the homeless lady at LAX airport stealing luagage and screaming all over the place! He should have gotton arrested like she did!
This man is on it. He is forecasting the health emergency in America.
I'm from Britain...but I gotta say America......you should have people like this running your government. What a speech!
Lol, are you kidding? All the fun happens in America. And what I said is true. Speech totally unscripited, but 100 times better than any trash a politican can dish out. American or British.
How sad you like to tell people what they should and shouldn't do on a website. Especially when you don't know the person you are trying to order around (and failing drastically). Clearly shows you're compensating for something. We call that 'Little Hitler' syndrome in the UK. Sure you have a word for it in the US too. But in plain English....it's pathetic.
Shame? For what lol. For me commenting on what a good job this guy did making a politician look small? I love it when anyone does that to a politician. Their country of origin is irrelevant. Just like the internet. It's an international audicence. So STFU and grow a pair.
And not that you'll believe me. My soon to be wife is from AZ. She lives with me in the UK. So when we get married, the process would be easier for me to become a US citizen....so It's something I could do - if I choose to do so. Fortunately for you, she has no wish to return to the US permanently so I'm happy enough not to do it.
Weazel typical reply..
Who is watching after midterms and is so proud that he lost!!!??
I hope Tommy boy and his family lose all their wealth and they have to rely on Obamacare to survive. What a sweet sweet irony would that be.
Its such a relief that the evil personified by McAuther has been eliminated. Its like a deep dark cloud has lifted over the whole world.
Great Wolf I’m glad he was defeated, and while I don’t know how long he was in office, he likely has a golden parachute. Congress has ridiculously generous pensions, and he likely will get a very high paying job as a lobbyist to try to influence the GOP agenda for the corporations who spend so heavily in US politics.
He holds the views he does because he doesn’t listen to his former constituents, but to those campaign donors who operate a system of legalized bribery.
One hopes that politicians will begin getting the message, and start listening to their constituents, rather than well heeled lobbyists, but citizens need to stay on top of their elected representatives.
@@johncronin9540 He served 2 terms. Elected in 2014, re-elected in 2016, and defeated in 2018.

Because nice words and phrases like "peaceful protesting" and "concerned citizen" get nowhere, unless you make some noise per history told us. Women defied and sat at voting polls to make a point.
He's fighting for someone else other than himself and that human happens to be his wife 👏👏👏
It’s strictly to get views
he knows the nuts and bolts of what's happening to people, in their lives. This Politician does not.
Because the US should by now have full and complete free healthcare like we do in Canada and Geoff Ginter, knows that! And you know that too! Free Health Care!
Who could argue that? No one!
Because he’s a white man, that’s why.
This dude single-handedly ruined this politician’s career in a few minutes.

Heru- deshet If you were facing the same situation this man was, you’d be shouting too, if you were being ignored by your elected representatives. There are very few Americans who are not facing similar health crises, and if you are not, you likely will be in the future. That’s life.
Health insurance doesn’t work like car insurance or home insurance. You may never need your insurance for your car or home. But at some point, you, or a family member WILL need access to health care. And people have died because they lacked health insurance, or because their insurance company found some excuse to deny coverage of life-saving medical treatment.
The ACA (Obamacare) is far from perfect. But it managed to pass (with no help from the Republicans) - the first attempt at universal health care coverage to do so. I doubt Trump and the GOP (who still control the Senate) are not likely going to cooperate with Democratic attempts to improve it. But at least it will become more difficult for the Republicans to further undermine it.
Heru- deshet I suppose that depends on what his new Representative does.
MUPPET!
@@heru-deshet359
That was great. There's nothing more dangerous to a politician, than a well informed constituent. He proved that there is no need for voilance. Just use his own words and facts to destroy him. Good job my friend, you can be very proud of yourself.

Surely more people should be speaking out? No other country in the western world has 3rd world health care like America does? I am English I can’t believe the people have had no backbone for so long, we had had enough of being abused when my farther and the others returned from the horrors of world war 2, after 5 years of fighting and dying and struggling to put food on the table the British had had enough and voted on mass for change, introducing the National health service free to all from cradle to grave, our proudest acheavment as a civilised people, and the envy of the world. Wake up America your being abused!
Holly shit NHS is worst then our Canadian Healthcare System ffs! What the Hell are you talking About? Why all the British Physicians and Surgeons are Leaving the UK? And coming here to Canada to Replace Canadian Doctors that moving to the US! I live outside a Small Town in the Yukon a Community about 8500-10 000 ppl 4500 in Town the rest on Farms, Ranches, Homesteads and Lodges we've 2 Medical Clinics and Small Hospital 12 Doctors 6 surgeons that I know of! The Clinic I go to have 6 drs Dr Prigmore from Wales, Dr Lennox fr Scottland, Dr.Row from England, Dr Nagy from SouthAfrica/England Dr Samir from India and Dr Palshar from Bangladesh! I' mean Jesus Man the 3 British doctors came to Canada in the Past 5-6 yrs Dr Nagy who Practiced in UK for 2 decades came here in 2005 They rather come here to the End of the World 7- Months Winter 4 Months 18-20 hrs Darkness then to keep working in the UK, Where they were underpaid, under equipped, Over worked, over stressed! the NHS is HORRIBLE Man! Doctors and Nurses Commit Suicide more often in the UK then any other Western Society! And you think your Healthcare System is Great lol So many Insane Lunatics! Just wait till you get Older and Sicker you'll see!
Well, I wouldn’t say that the quality of healthcare in America is poor, as it’s among the best in the world. However, too many Americans cannot even afford it, especially if their employer doesn’t offer it to them. So the problem isn’t about the healthcare itself, but it’s the for-profit system, with all the insurance & pharmaceutical companies and the powerful lobby groups that are in the pockets of far too many politicians, which is the real problem that America faces in regards to healthcare.
jozsefkacsa We will agree to disagree, before the nhs if you couldn’t afford treatment or pain relief you died in agony! Every one is entitled to treatment no matter what you means are, if your Canadian system is better then that’s great.
Mohammad Hussain Then I am sorry if people can’t afford treatment then that is to me 3rd world health care? and reflects badly on the USA as a civilised forward thinking fair nation.
Outstanding! This is what we all need to do. Hold our representatives accountable!!! And if they fail to do so, vote them out!
They forget they are Public Servants not political Party sycophants.. Thank you for standing up for America.
how are insurance companies, doctors, etc. supposed to profit off of your sickness if there is no profit incentive?! how are they supposed to make money off of you? you think they should give you healthcare for "free" at the expense of others? 😂😂😂😂😂 behold the stupidity of your argument. pics.me.me/doctor-shreds-trumpcare-architect-healthcare-for-profit-is-immoral-occupy-21418469.png

Behind doors - big time dems like Adam schiff and James Comey, Mcabe, Peter Strozk.... the list goes on......they gave under oath statements saying there was no evidence of Russian collusion- but they moved forward with investigation anyway--

Well looks like Tom MacArthur lost his seat to Democrat Andy Kim in the mid terms. Would love it if this guys speech contributed to that. America really needs to work together to sort its healthcare.
"America really needs to work together to sort its healthcare."
The simple answer, is to "Just Do It"! Look at Canada and or Great Britain!
America! Stop fooling around as if 'health care' were a, sporting event!
I'm 62 years old, in pretty good shape, born and raised in Canada and have always enjoyed free and superb medical care! Last January I got myself into a bit of medical distress.
My wife took off to New York to visit her best friend, so, I bought a bottle of my favourite Scotch.... oops!
I over did it and woke up on the floor. I found it hard to walk up a single fight of stairs that I would normally easily run up any time, but I wasn't drunk!?
So I called our local On Call registered nurse. And after a short chat I was off to the hospital. My heart was racing about 159+ beats per minute. I saw the monitor!
The ER docs worked on me with oxygen and a drug that lowered my heart rate.
That, felt a lot better!
They held me for another hour or two and then let me go home, as my heart had slowed to an almost normal rate. I felt fine and I am fine now, no problems!
Perfect heart rate and blood pressure.
I had to pick up a small prescription on the way home that was also paid by my medical plan. I took my meds exactly as prescribed and was soon and still am, just fine now.
The United States of America can bounce a Laser beam off of a mirror the size of a dime on the moon, shut down any injustice or strife anywhere in the world but cannot build and apply a national health care system? Are you kidding? Or are you just crazy? It IS crazy and sad that y'all DO NOT have the very best free health care in the world!
Some of my best life experiences happened in the USA hangin' out with Americans but what happened to YOUR medical plan?
Good Luck! Take Care...
Jack Lizzard Thanks for sharing your story. It’s more important than you believe, because many Americans are lied to by those who stand to benefit from the old system (pre Obamacare). They are told that the Canadian System is terrible, that many Canadians come to America for treatment, ignoring such facts that many Americans, especially Senior Citizens, would travel for hours by bus to Canada, to purchase medications which were less expensive, even without coverage, than in the US.
Sarah Palin went so far as to lie that Obamacare would create death panels (thus sanctioning euthanasia- which was a total fabrication). Sadly, many agreed with her.
But as it has been implemented, more and more Americans are liking Obamacare. Obama, when attacked on it in 2012, didn’t run away from it, instead he made the election into a referendum on Obamacare. He easily won re-election. The popular vote as well as the electoral vote.
Hope you stay healthy, and I’d avoid the Scotch.
RPG 808 You may be 62, but you are arguing on the level of a five year old. You are pulling out of thin air your belief that this man is a smoker and is obese. You have no way of knowing that, and you have no idea whether this man has an addiction to alcohol. If he was, he likely would have had many more problems than an elevated heart rate.
Quite simply, not even a good doctor be able to determine what happened here, given the limited information we have on this incident. You don’t know his medical history, his medications (and possible interactions with alcohol). You are essentially trying to practice medicine without a license.
As for the Canadian System, if it is as unpopular as you claim, then why has no political party attempted to repeal it? Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper was in power for several years just before losing to the current PM Trudeau. Yet as conservative as Harper was, he didn’t DARE try to repeal Canada’s health coverage system.
That should indicate to you that Harper knew that any such attempt would probably end his career. No system is perfect. And no system is free. It’s paid for through taxation. People will always grumble about that, but that doesn’t mean they want to change it.
In the US, health insurance has become connected to the employer. The reason has to do with WWII. during that period, the US operated under a centralized command and control economy (out of necessity - the country was virtually unarmed when the Japanese bombed Hawaii). Prices and wages were frozen, and we had a system of rationing. Since workers unions couldn’t collectively bargain for a raise in wages, what companies offered was health care coverage. At that time, health care was not nearly as costly as today. If you had heart disease, there was no angioplasty or bypass surgery options. All you got was nitroglycerin tablets, which would dilate your blood vessels. Even the President couldn’t get effective treatment for his chronic hypertension. Those medications didn’t exist then. And the lack of effective treatments killed him, and he was just a couple of years older than you are now.
But that is how health coverage came to be associated with one’s employer. It wasn’t planned that way, and is flawed in that if the person working sustains a catastrophic illness or injury, what happens to their coverage because they are no longer able to work? What happens to their family?
But that is how it came to be, and those flaws are why every Democratic President since FDR (who understood from personal experience, in brutal fashion, chronic illness and disability) has tried to get legislation passed addressing universal access to health care. Barack Obama was the first President to successfully get some legislation through Congress. The only other President to get some legislation passed was Lyndon Johnson, with Medicare (a JFK proposal) and Medicaid. But neither were universal.
Given the season, you should be grateful for your good health. Not everyone is blessed with that, even those who eat right, exercise, avoid alcohol and tobacco, are not overweight, etc.
We spend Trillions of Dollars in Defense!! Yet we ignored the Health and Welfare of our Own Citizens. Welcome to the United States!!

DBZFan2 can’t you talk like a grown up? Your constant name calling and bullying just shows how unhinged you are. People might listen to you if you talked like you have some sense.
quickzilver3333 : Want to take a guess where that Defense spending goes? It goes into the pockets of private contractors who build things we do not need. If anything goes to the actual service member, it comes in the form of a redecoration of a common room area. Not better food, accommodations, cost of uniforms, nor anything else that will ease the burden of serving in unpleasant parts of the world.

We spend trillions in defense but we can't even afford to give our own soldiers body armor.

It's extraordinary how, in the midst of high emotion, he is articulate. That's rare. He's a healthcare Patrick Henry.
How the hell does the so called "richest nation in the world" not have universal health care? It's mind boggling. Do Americans actually like this system or have you been conditioned to believe it?
We have some citizens that believe universal healthcare that covers all is actually their money (tax dollars) going to someone else. Afraid they are paying more and getting less. They are called the nice name of Republicans.
Because we spend more money on our military (the industrial complex, not the members) than the next 10 countries combined. Our citizens do not matter to most politicians, and they have most media outlets reinforcing the idea that universal health care is evil.

@@jamesdunn9714 no, but our healthcare system has been in turmoil ever since LBJ created medicare and medicaid!!! also listen to this simple explanation of why healthcare costs have escalated ever since medicare and medicaid were created. ever since LBJ introduced medicare and medicaid, that's when healthcare costs escalated for everyone. before then it used to be dirt cheap!! health insurance premiums only used to cost $5 per month (which is only $41 in today's money) and you were covered for catastrophic care. but when medicare and medicaid were introduced, doctors started taking advantage of that and raised their prices. but the bill didn't fall on you, it fell on the government. so then the government began charging more. and it's why healthcare costs have skyrocketed ever since. there's no point in trying the same thing over and over again and expect different results. th-cam.com/video/mfwny2TTyWM/w-d-xo.html
This is why Republican voters have got to learn to vote for quality honest candidates instead of voting for a Party. Vote for the best interest of the people of the United States of America.

Geoffrey Ginter Youre a leftist arent you?
you cant suggest hes informed after that russian interest comment.
No, I'm a Democratic Socialist in the mold of Bernie Sanders. I believe that the Government of the people, for the people, and by the people should, you know, be of the people, be for they people, and be by the people. Not the oligarchs. They are citizens and should be afforded the same power, rights, and responsibilities as everyone else. Instead, they are taking the immense wealth they have been given to buy that which should never be for sale; our Democracy.
"Health insurance as a for-profit business IS immoral!". I literally stood up and applauded. How can that shit be allowed at all?
Well America seems to be the only country in world where your employer has any say at all about what is a private matter and that is what has to end

Well,Trump does love the poorly educated.
Wow! This guy really went in! I love how he defended his wife and family!
He'll be speaking at our rally on July 30th in Washington D.C.
This wasn't a "Full confrontation". It was cut off at the end, I wanted to hear the response.
This “enraged husband” seems very clear, concise and passionate. I think he COULD have shown rage against the shiny headed guy. That was NOT rage. That was a man upset about something he seems to take VERY seriously. We should ALL feel that kind of passion and level headed clarity about issues we care about, maybe if more of us were are cheat about what we are thinking and how we feel, maybe we wouldn’t have so much division and blind hatred for our neighbors and even our own family members. We should all take this “enraged husband” as a shining example of how to be clear about our positions. His words are more clear than head of the q-ball he was speaking to.
Who is this man? He speaks for all of us.
He's a drama queen. I have no idea what he is babbling about. He is just throwing out accusations.
That was March 2017.... and still the GOP wants to hurt us! Vote Democrat in the Midterms, we were better back in 2015.

@@joshuaburgess1204 I think "Thomas Paine" misspelled his/her last-name... should be PAIN. Attempting to have an educated, well informed "conversation" about ACA with the un-educated, ill-informed "Americans" is a futile endeavor.
@@sandrablanco6592 It doesn't matter. He is my fellow American. We have to do something about this. Medical care for me hits a heart string hard. I didnt choose this. And nobody does. Not a single person wakes up and says "bipolar disorder sounds fun" or "stage 4 cancer would be cool". We have to be passionate and also understanding of the CURRENT conservative ways. I view these people as sick the same way I view myself as sick. And with sick people, compassion is what you show them. I do not believe this person wakes up every day and decides to hate. I think they don't know any better. My previous comment is based on emotion and that's why it seems so radical. But I want to show the GOP voters I do not believe they are bad people. That is a lie. But that liberal views are for Americans, not commies or socialist or whatever. If this persons child gets sick, I am completely willing as a nation to make sure that child gets care that I help pay for. So they and the child don't have to worry about recovery AND cost. That is not fair. Staying alive for anyone is the first. Paying is not something anyone should have to worry about while fighting a mental or physical illness.
I'm a Canadian. Americans have heard a lot about our healthcare system. I have to admit, living here we never had to worry about pre-existing conditions or deductibles. But I can tell you this. If you ask a Canadian if our healthcare system needs work, 100% of us would say "YES!". And if you asked us if we wanted American-style healthcare, 100% of us would say "NO!!!!"
bic papermate as a fellow Canadian, I agree 100% with this.

*17%*?
jag10 you're just jealous because you can't think as fast as this guy!
jag10 Like we should believe you, conservatard!!!
jag10 there is a common theme running through Trumps base and many in the GOP. That is they don't offer solutions they only offer insults and lies. The GOP complained that the Democrats rushed their Healthcare Plan through Congress. BUT they did have open sessions and in those sessions they interviewed experts. Then what do the GOP do they rush through their plan and do it all in secret. The GOP like Trump and you are just a bunch of lying hypocrites. There is a saying that empty vessels make the most noise and you, the GOP and the President make on hell of a lot of noise. The blue wave is coming, it is not happening in the national forum it is happening in the districts all over America. The GOP are been made to own what they have done and it will come back to haunt them in November. Never before in American history have so many heads of committees in Congress decided not to stand for re-election because they know what their grassroots are saying and it ain't favourable to the GOP. Any system where 20% of the money collected for healthcare goes into the pockets of a few is a healthcare system that is fundamentally flawed. The Healthcare industry in America is no different than big tobacco and when the truth came out we found that they had lied to the American people for decades to protect their profits and the healthcare industry are using exactly the same tactics as big tobacco. Sadly there are many in the GOP and their supporters who are either too dumb to see this or too corrupt to care.
He does, he's just concerned for others...unlike you. He's also concerned for his wife because people can lose their jobs.
Thank God this man told off this evil politician. I hope he gets voted out.
Ann Linley At least you’re thinking Ann,not just saying nope no good without any consideration because lobbyists bought you a steak dinner and fund your campaign.
Ann Linley I have paid taxes for years. And some of my ancestors were native American, so maybe you need to return to your country of origin. We pay too much for the military budget, and useless wars.
Ann Linley Very few people are given refugee status so it is rather stupid and paranoid to worry about them as if they were attacking us with tanks. You give yourself away with your hate and paranoia. Eat a Trump Steak and try not to choke on it.
@Ann Linley you're asking how much it would cost which is approaching the discussion dishonestly. If I had to answer this though, I'd cut the military budget, bring our troops home and provide them and the people in the country they fought for with healthcare.
What you should be asking is how much would we save if we shifted to single payer since it's been proven by studies produced on both sides of the aisle that implementing it would result in net savings.
Wages theoretically would have room to grow since employers no longer have to worry about providing healthcare.
Pro tip: People who don't have health insurance are likely to end up in the emergency room at some point. This results in a hit to the taxpayers when providing preventative care would've resulted in a healthier person and much less of a bill on our part.
An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure. This applies to the cost of healthcare as well.
Angel Fernandes What go’s unacknowledged is the fact that the Chargemasters (CDM) have been far too long left unchecked. They are the ones who decide what gets billed to the insurer and the insure and decide the price that is MASSIVELY overpriced from 2-5X the actual cost. This was exposed a long time ago nearly knew their was even a middle man deciding this.
Where is he today? I would like the follow up on this swell American.

Daniel Garnett - Sad but true
His wife and family are lucky to have a man to stand up for them like that ...and he did his research. He wasn’t spouting nonsense. Facts are Facts!
He made an emotional grandstand
He gave not one suggestion on how to help anything
Obviously he has anger issues and poor coping skills .
What did he accomplish other than to fool some people into thinking how right he thinks he is .
There are thousands of emotional pleas , rants just like this one from people involved with government run health care . Many who's family members died waiting for tests , procedures simple appointments , managed care , procedures going before a board ( financial ) .....to review the case and make a decision as to what course if action to take .... .. all the while you wait . Example , there were 178k cancer diagnosis in Canada , of those 80 k had died due to what we just cited . How is his story more important than the others ?
An argument can be made , if he had the ( free ) health care , his wife could very well have passed .
This is an emotional angry rant that served no purpose , solved nothing , made zero recommendations .
The guy was bordering on being incoherent .
Take the emotion out of it , do you have any idea as to what he said ? The many contradictions did not bother you ,? You question nothing ?
I read these comments and am shocked at the ignorance .
They are all unlucky not to have a president who will stand up for them.
all good ...i see it too. He is a democratic constituent. Immoral...aw, there are so so many issues here that are hollered about, but, as always...not much can be done at this point. Listen to this guy, he says in the last 4 min. You came for my wife. No, man that was cancer, not the congressman, or the insurance companies, or President Trump, or the doctors, or the presidents and ceos of the hospitals...etc. I do not have an idea or solution at this point, my turn will come sooner or later, maybe maybe no. Crap shoot is ones health. Sure, feel good, look good, feel good...but in the end my thought is no one beats cancer. No one. Cancer has the persistance and longetivity of a timeless, featureless face...it, like the oxygen in our air, just IS. All over the place...and again despite what one does or doesnt do if its coming, it will get there to its destination 98 percent. Of the time. May take years...decades. No one wins over cancer. Not one.

Wow!!! I am blown away. Thank you and wishing your family my best!!
In such a rich country, I don't get why healthcare
Is a luxury, instead if a human right.
Because conservatives are convinced that any government assistance is a blight on society that falls under the category of SOCIALISM. The insurance company and pharmaceutical lobbies have made sure of that. Mitch McConnell has said outright he's coming for the other ENTITLEMENTS: MEDICARE, MEDICAID and SOCIAL SECURITY. Never mind that we working stiffs have paid into these programs. They're still "entitlements" to McConnell and the other 1%. It's utterly mind-boggling that Republican politicians say their intentions OUT LOUD, and yet their head-in-the-sand constituents continue to vote for them.
Because its for profit, they could give a shit if people die
I asked an American why universal health care wasn't a reasonable goal for such a wealthy country and he replied, "Because socialism."
Diane Morris-Hill I'm from Sweden and I try to understand what is going on in The US , and that isn't easy . You are one of the richest country in the world , and still you can't provide normal prized healthcare ans education for your people , and I don't wan't to start talking aboat your so called President !!
