Gabriel_89_91 Gun ownership is part of the Bill of Rights. And the Bill of Rights are one of our most important founding documents.

What does the right to bear arms have to do with healthcare? How do you defend yourself if you're not allowed to be armed?

@mozardthebest's-comment "@Gabriel_89_91: Gun ownership is part of the Bill of Rights. And the Bill of Rights are one of our most important founding documents.": actually the ["]Bill-of-Rights["] is just the first 10 Amendments of the United States Constitution. but i definitely[-]understand what you meant. P.S. i hate that the U.S.-Constitution now is a perversion of what the Founding-Fathers made it out to be[/wrote it to be] (which was [a constitution] based on [what it says[/what it said] in] the Declaration-of-Independence).

Well to be fair, the guns are there to form militias to take down corrupt government not deer. America has militias their just pointing the wrong way. Hunting is kind of a no duh.

Azrael you don’t need to if nobody else has a gun.

we have these republican bots thats why.

It is fairly obvious why our healthcare is so expensive. it is partially modeled off of a capitalist system, with the option to choose between insurance companies, not one of which is individually powerful enough to haggle for a reasonably low price for any given medication and or procedure.

Yes, and that incentivises the insurance companies to try and get lower prices. Although a larger private company is not the answer (a monopoly would be able to raise premiums astronomicaly), having a larger entity to negotiate lower prices for medications and medical procedures would reduce the costs of healthcare in the united states.

@Agency in Repose haha what and it's in bottom half? Come on! Stop it!

They also have the most D&R in medication and treatments, why do you think everyone always goes to the US for complicated surgeries? And since Doctors are the richest there why would they want to give up their strong hold

Tell that to a doctor who spent 12 years getting their MD, deserves their enormous salary due to their experience, hard work, and the fact that they have to pay off their loans. You can argue for nationwide healthcare, but you can't say that health is not a luxury. No one is entitled to the hard work and knowledge of doctors, the biomedical engineers who develop essential technology, etc. Medical care is not a "right" when it depends on people CHOOSING to go into that profession. On average, US physicians are paid far more than those in countries with universal healthcare. And they deserve it. Neither you, nor anyone else, has a "right" to their mental and physical stress, precision, and skill in a 6 hour surgery.

@@devdotm Really? Because last i checked, its a right in nearly EVERY other developed country but America

@@ef888 its because of republican states

@@devdotm Just like medical profession every other profession is important.. like farming, Army, education... yes the doctor has to pay loans for his MD, but why his MD costing so much, because universities are demanding as much as they want. If the doctor mark his services for 1000$ an hour I can mark the food I make(farming) for 100$ a gram, The problem is the poor are suffering because of one person's greed.

@@devdotm I would say you have a point, but the average US citizen is not a doctor, so most of us don't care about what they went through it's their decision,no one is forced to become a doctor, and yes healthcare is a right

nah95 capitalism in a nutshell

nah95 It's government intervention that makes it so expensive. Pro tip: There used to be a time when people could go to a hospital without insurance and afford it. Healthcare is essentially a scam and it couldn't exist as an industry if it wasn't making money and funding itself.

Welfare programs in the US are controlled by people with no care for the benefit of the public. So it's just this massive, counterintuitive mess where people in charge of this have no intent of changing the system because it doesn't directly benefit them and them only.

Luis Rivera in China, you can see a doctor for 2dollars 40cents with no insurance, 1.30 with social healthcare insurance. get a CT scan for around 50-60usd . It is so expensive in the us. In India, it is cheap too.

@@po91914 yeah but how much does an average Chinese person make?

Now add a chronic illness like t1d into the mix. Yet I'm told my medical costs don't count as actual bills and I should just move out on my own. (I also work but hardly afford the supplies I need for my diabetes)

That's not how deductibles work. If you have a 2K deductible, that means you have to pay that much before insurance starts covering. So for example if you had to go to the doctor each month, you would pay the $200 fee each month and once you paid $2k total, insurance would kick in. So, in this example, after 10 months, the last 2 months of the year your insurance would cover your costs. I'm not advocating, that's a horrible plan and no one goes to the doctor each month. Unless you're very sick you'd probably never meet your deductible for the year but you wouldn't have to pay more than the actual cost. Having a high deductible like that is basically like having no insurance unless you have sky high medical bills to begin with.

Chris Mason We're not going to change based on peer pressure!

Marlon Moncrieffe giving healthcare to dying people who can't afford it is peer pressure?

eBron James Your obnoxious wailing to have America follow other countries' lead IS peer pressure. By the way, America already has universal healthcare for the elderly and wounded veterans.

Marlon Moncrieffe- Did you watch the video? Its by no means universal healthcare and it depends on which state you live in. States can choose which illnesses they treat or don't treat. If most developed countries are engaging in universal healthcare with less GDP per capita than the United States, then there's no reason we shouldn't do it either. You want America to be different just for the sake of being different? Even if it costs lives?

eBron James Let Marlon live in his beautiful albeit fictional Republicland.... Where the rich pay the poor liveable wages because the poor has been bullied in lowering their taxes.... Where the rich don't launder their money on some pacific island and actually invest back their money into the community where they made it, because you know, the poor gave up and gave into their demands.....

Sharkbyte 9 You do realise there is such a thing as a two-tier health care system, right? Americans aren't getting their health care *at all* because it's too expensive, while Canadians who don't have the luxury of wealth are still able to get their basic health rights met. Think of the bigger picture, buddy. I'd rather be on a wait list when I don't have enough money (despite having a degree and job), than have no options at all because the private insurance system uses *any* excuse to deny me what I paid for. There is a middle ground, but Americans are so afraid of communism that they reject *any* socialist value illogically.

Swagmasta Suga I'm just gonna say this. If our health care was universally free like our education system we'd be dead

I’m against it as it is another tax for the top 10% to pay 60% of the share. I’m against the Affordable Care Act as my home state already had it covered. We had a law in place that didn’t allow hospitals to turn down patients if they cannot afford care. We said “We already got it fam” while the federal government went “LeTs FiX hEaLtHcArE”

So you get free expensive medication in blue states that are expensive. So, I have to go to California where its expensive to live and homelessness. That's what I have to do. Humm?

I can't vote as I'm not a citizen and I don't live there but I know what's happening over there. I'm just making false remarks to just have someone help me out with my doubts about Medicaid which I strongly support as Neocons and Moscow Mitch just want to take that away as they're bought by Big Pharma which likes price gouge drug prices and cause opiod epidemics. Now, the GOP has know allowed insurance companies to increase unethical drug prices which are legal by their standards and allowed doctors to discriminate you if you're pro- choice or LGBTQ.

Rishi Krishnaswamy Oh well also in Bernie’s bill it makes federal law that health insurance companies can’t refuse to pay expenses and also makes law that insurance companies must be allowed across state lines. So it doesn’t just affect Medicade it affects private insurers to. Trump shifted the Overton window massively which shows how much the Republican Party has sold out. Bush killed 200,000 Iraqis, invaded 2 countries, recked the economy, and he’s still a better president than Trump.

Patrick if you have to wait that long chances are that it ain't a urgent surgery, and I seriously doubt you'll have to wait years for anything

Sbeatly actually you can and it may not be life threatening but you may lose function or other complications while waiting

Weird, I'm Canadian and for the two major abdominal surgeries I needed I waited no time for one because it was an emergency and one week for the other. The only reason I waited one week is because I needed multiple other tests to confirm my diagnosis like a CAT scan and a blood test; all that testing plus the doctor's work in diagnosing takes time. All of those tests, plus the two surgeries, plus a total of 12 days in recovery which included antibiotics and other medicine cost me and parents $0 out of pocket. And by paying my taxes every year it ensures that other people in those scary situations don't have to worry about money either, they can just worry about getting better

It's even better in the UK (recently ranked no1 healthcare system) and it's entirely nationalized. This is even in the context of our current gov. cutting money from it.

source?

I'm clutching my pearls. SHOCKED!!!

+ultrashade The UK isn't exactly known for a state of the art healthcare system, but rather known for outdated equipment. The UK seems to focus more on low cost healthcare than quality health care. This is also the reason that the UK healthcare system is incredibly cheap both for people and for the government. The US could literally do a budget cut and still end up with better healthcare than they already have.

Navjeet Singh but doctors and nurses earn more money in the US.

its the doctors man, the ACA is the evil organization that rather make more money (avg salary $200k) than slightly make less and have govt healthcare.

They also earn more in France. Though, an appendix removal costs here 18€ per day of hospitalization + 18€ (plus eventually comfort preferences, like solo room, TV, etc). And these costs are also reimbursed by your additionnal healthcare or by the state if you're poor. Then, it's not an argument.

I live in the US. From my observation it works like this: Before the ACA, if you didnt have insurance, the only way to get treatment for anything was to go to the emergency room. Our laws make it so you have to be treated if it's critical. So everyone that didnt have insurance would have to go to the emergency room. Have a sinus infection and just need antibiotics but dont have insurance? Go to the emergency room where they would use up a ton of resources for something simple. Of course the hospital wont allow that to cut into their profits. So they then start charging more for services. In turn because hospital bills are now more expensive, so is insurance. It's creating this snowball effect where we can get charged $100 dollars for a simple tylenol at the hospital. This system is broken and not working for anyone. However, because the ACA was implemented by Obama, and we have a huge population of racists, they want it reversed. He attempted to fix a lot of these issues. Medicaid expansion is one of them. Another is that insurance companies now have to cover you, even if you have a pre-existing condition when they could deny you for it before. The ACA has a lot of negatives but more positives. We need to move to a single payer system. However, hospitals, doctors, and insurance companies are making insane amounts of money. They then use this to 'lobby' our elected officials into voting against it. (They basically give them a lot of money to vote against it)

Navjeet Singh You don't understand corporate greed?

So does Poland!

Belgium has universal health care too!

Czech republic too

Hmm! An outdated list perhaps. Hope we can join you all on the other side of the list soon.

It's best to leave that word out of the discussion. There is not standard definition.

I mean, both parties have ups and downs for all qualities right?

Yeah, but the causal arrow on that is tricky. Does being materially comfortable with high levels of human development lead to your demanding higher quality public services and a willingness to pay higher taxes or is it the reverse?

Lupus is a highly variable disease. It hits everyone differently. I personally have have it and also have family and friends with it. The disease can affect different body systems, at different intensities, and with different regularity. There isn't a ton of research on it so we don't have full explanations for all of these differences. It's one of those diseases that most people only have a bit of information on. While some people can function fully, some simply cannot. The swelling can sometimes prevent walking or moving. Lupus can cause an extreme amount of pain. I am happy that your cousin is fortunate to have a great quality of life despite the disease. It can be extremely debilitating even with medical care. While sun, stress, and smoking are some of the known triggers for symptoms, even with never smoking and avoiding smokers, significant rest, and negligible sun exposure, intense episodes can be unpredictable (obviously very problematic for jobs) and it can progress to being more chronic than episodic. It's a rough disease. One I hope people get to understand more. Just a friendly reminder that health problems, especially with lupus, aren't the same for everyone.

Lupus varies in degree. My mother lived with Lupus for most of her adult life until it killed her in her mid 40’s. My twin sister and I were 20 yrs old. The kind of Lupus that she had attacked her internal organs. She never smoked or drank and she limited her time in the sun. By all accounts she maintained a very healthy lifestyle. However, her Lupus was aggressive. She died of sepsis.

Where you wait months for a doctors visit and have death panels to decide if your life is worth trying to save.

Vail DeWan Having to wait 5 months is still better than nothing

+Vail DeWan The wait times are generally (if it's anything like Australia) for non-critical surgery. Like a hip replacement or knee reconstruction or something like that. In systems like the US poor folks simply can't get access to those type of medical procedures, so there's obviously less of a queue. I mean, if you're rich the US has easily the best healthcare in the world.

Yeah, sure. Where people wait 10 years for a government-issued surgery and you spend millions of taxpayer money on a check-up.

The wait times for doctors is between 10 minutes to 3 hours, depending on the clinic, which isn't bad. Wait times for critical surgeries are non existent, anything life and death related is treated immediately. The only thing that sucks, is the long wait for non critical surgeries and assessments, like MRI scans, which could range from weeks to months. But hey, at the end of it all, there's no bill or charge... I can't even imagine being handed a receipt after an appointment or surgery lol is this McDonald's for you to be charging me?

Yep, all you have to do to be covered in Poland is either be employed or registered unemployed.

The list is wrong in many more regards. It's interesting that Germany and Switzerland are ticked and Luxembourg is crossed. In Germany, there's a dualism of private and "public" options. That said, public is a misnomer as that care is also provided by competing providers, just as a more regulated product and typically no sight of cash flow for treatments. Mine for example making a healthy profit. In private ones you more often have to pay first and bill the provider later. Switzerland is like that with just the private ones only and subsidies for those who need them for private coverage. Switzerland is ticked as with universal healthcare. Luxembourg is single payer proportional to income, but up front own payment afaik and then billing the provider. Luxembourg is crossed out as with no universal healthcare. It's making one curious as how universal healthcare is defined here.

I also noticed that the list is wrong about Poland. Also now anyone in Poland 70 or older get free medicines under the Universal Healthcare.

Too ma y old folks. The only way I see out of it, is to do basic research on THE AGEING PROCESS ITSELF. Keep senile people alive longer is making things get worse. It will take a long time to achieve this, but I see no other way.

Well...the answer nobody is talking about is... Supply and demand. In particular...the American Medical Association has found a way to limit the supply of doctors. Remember how gas prices were almost $5.00 a gallon in 2008? Then...just a few years later they are $1.54. Prices fell by more than 60%. What happened? And can we do the same thing to health care costs? Well...what happened was America figured out hydrolic fracking. Which increased the supply of oil a LOT. Huge increase of supply. Same level of demand. Prices fell by 60%. So there you go. Just double the number of doctors graduating from medical schools. Oh wait. That won't happen. Why? Because there are only so many residency openings across the nation. A medical degree is not enough to get paid as a doctor. You need to have a 3 to 5 year on-the-job residency training too. Now how does residency training work? Oh yes...I know. Congress pays for it. They decide how much money is going to go to pay the residents at the hospitals since the hospitals don't pay the resident doctors themselves. So if you want to increase the number of doctors and crash the cost of health care by doubling the supply of the people who give out health care....well....you just need to double the number of residency positions. Because then medical schools would take on more students. They are not going to take on and train more students that can't get jobs when they get out of med school because there are not enough residency programs waiting for them when they graduate. But wait. What if I was the American Medical Association? Would I want to see the market flooded with new doctors willing to work for a bit less? Would I want to see a HUGE increase in the supply of doctors so that prices that I can demand for my services fall? No. No I wouldn't want that. Not at all. In fact, I would want to create a situation where there were always TOO FEW residency positions open. That would mean that as the population grew and more people needed access to medical care....there would be fewer and fewer doctors to treat them. Smaller supply would mean higher prices that I can charge. So how could I do that? Make sure that there was always TOO FEW residency positons to train new doctors? Well...I could send my lobbyists to Washington DC and make sure that they never pass laws funding the expansion of residency positions. Yup. That would do it. Most people don't even know about this...that the Federal Government actually restricts the supply of doctors by locking down available residency openings. Nobody's talking about it so we can get away with it...and prices paid to doctors will rise. Forever.

Also the us government limits the amount of doctors that can be trained

Well if you didn’t know, almost all healthcare discoveries happen in America and also until medical supplies aren’t scarce anymore, healthcare will be cheaper.

have a single payer national health care system

Lot of Christians would argue with you.

That was just...the most terrible comparison. First of all....you PAY FOR YOUR OWN FOOD AND WATER! Second...it is not possible for things that require the services of other people to be "right". That would make them slaves. If healthcare was my "right" then I would be able to demand that a doctor treat me. Whenever I want. Without pay. Because I can exercise my other "rights" without having to pay. Anything you have to PAY for cannot be a "right".

Not defending the US healthcare system at all but it seems weird that so many people come to this “problematic and greedy” country to live their lives and yet never accept this country as their own.

Rachel Curzon maybe because our healthcare system is seen as more of a business to profit off the lives of people, rather than a coherent system that is universal and fair to all. Frankly, it’s sad. It’s an unsustainable system where greed is the top-seller.

I'm pretty sure we all have the opportunity to receive healthcare when needed, but affordable health Care is another thing... And I for one don't believe I as a healthy individual should be forced to have my tax paying money used so that someone who doesn't work can find a way to take advantage of Medicare. People who refuse to pay $1 for their prescriptions when there are hardworking people who are reasonable without the slightest argument about paying for their meds or health because we know we have a choice. If everyone has to pay for healthcare, taxes will go up.... I would have to work more hours to pay the same rent and Ultimately it's the state or federal government that would be forcing me to pay a straining amount of tax when it should be my choice if I want healthcare, and if I regret it in the future then so be it.... I'd rather pay self pay and eat every bit of the bill than lose out on thousands because other people cannot afford healthcare. It's not fair for the worker or consumer. We are a capitalist nation not a socialist one remember

They only force it down every Americans throat to have healthcare and penalize us for not being covered because we are expected to contribute to prevent insurance companies from shorting out on money for insured patients... Now that's a tough pill to swallow

Ivan according to this Poland has universal healthcare en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_health_care

zRiddick do the math of the percentages lmao

Wow you’re right! I’m sure it’s just a typo, since the dollars add up, but still. Lol

blackchang1981 omg vox made a mistake😱

Dayana Unfortunately a mistake like this weakens the impact of the overall message.

Oh, but finanically supporting welfare queens and illegal immigrants, yeah... that should fix everything.

Welfare queens whose money is taken and directly spent back into the part of the economy where the wealthiest receive the most compensation/illegal immigrants who do work that make prices low enough that the poor and middle class can, for awhile, proceed with a similar quality of life while the richest people accrue an ever-increasing proportion of wealth. It's kind of funny how that works, eh?

Roman Fox That is a drop in the bucket compared to the corporate welfare, but someone has convinced you to believe otherwise. That someone is very good at that.

Roman Fox You don't support illegals, and no immigrant ever took your job. Michelle Bachman received $800,000.00 in subsidies to not grow corn, on her land in Arizona. Yeah Arizona! That's the real welfare problem.

Like tax?

This is an r/holup moment
