What a grim video, people who are against universal health care because it is charity lining up to see a doctor free at 2am.

Why tents ?, that governor seems rather proud that there are people in his state going through the winter in a tent, are the governors' staff not capable of organising shipping containers to be insulated using polystyrene and having doors, windows cut ?
People in tents in winter mean a high probability of them ending in hospital, if they will take them.

What is the conservative view of this video ?

It's heartbreaking man....that's all i can say about it. Makes me ashamed in a sense to be an American. That tent city outside of Detroit just tears at my soul when i see my fellow Americans living like that. But we have money to take care of everyone else. SMH....we spent untold billions to help rebuild Iraq, and what do we do for our own people? We denigrate them for needing food stamps and being down on their luck.

Sickening.

Oh my God, I thought that woman was saying that there were thousands of homeless under the streets of Las Vegas. Then she got around to 300 or 400 of them.

I certainly feel sorry for anybody who has to sleep on the streets or any place they can find some kind of shelter, but I also think I saw what that woman was trying to say about the health care system that failed to get to government supplied in Obama's first term. I surely hope that they don't manage to make a total liar out of Daniel Hannan who also lives in England.

Well by damn those people were there 4 years ago, I bet. That thing by BBC was trying very hard to push the socialist system that my man, Daniel Hannan just doesn't agree with them about.

Very good documentary. Politically unbiased, pointing fingers at both main political parties for their failure to address the issue of poverty in America.

Not everyone can dream up a cleaver gadget like eggies and get rich advertising them on TV.

It shows how things have gotten worse under Obama but the GOP has no clue either. But they failed to mention one solution for the man with a hernia. Stick up a bank and get treated by the Federal prison system.

You have to be pretty stupid to end up homeless.
