Overtime: Brian Cox, Rachel Bitecofer, Caitlin Flanagan, Anthony Scaramucci, Ross Douthat 

Brian Cox is a legend!

Some people don't want to improve anything.

As a Canadian, I agree with Brian Cox about socialized medicine... our systems aren't perfect, but they're a lot better than health care for profit.

Who is Rachel Bitecofer and why give her a microphone? And what scares her the most, education for all? Healthcare for all? Deplorable!

Scaramucci serving for a few days now gives him the right to have the “fmr. WH Communications Director”... is just funny

Medicare for all does not put doctors on the federal government payroll. Doctors and hospitals stay the same but insurance is replaced by Medicare.

Hey I'm only 76 and I am not ready to die yet so 1 in 6 sounds like terrible odds to me.

Love Brian Cox and throughly enjoyed him last night. It boggles my mind how countries don't have universal healthcare. As a Canadian I understand it isn't perfect but nothing is. Yes there are waits but I do get to see a doctor or NP and it doesn't cost me. Sure if you have insurance, you can use it especially for tests like MRI or CT scan. No one is stopping you. If fact, it helps move the flow of peoples needs. It's common sense and we know, that it's just not that common.

There are two types of people who are hesitant to adopt healthcare for all....many are ignorant and the rest are just stupid.

Bill, there's SOOOO many people who are NOT sitting on all of these pillows. Maybe in your social circle they are, but even reasonably successful people are living a life that is such that I cannot relate to that statement.

Brian Cox is my hero! Great response about the NHS. America would benefit so greatly by Medicare for All. But, it needs a single payer system and free college, because if doctors did not have such crippling student loan debt and insurance companies and big Pharma weren't in control of health care there would no reason to bankrupt families with extremely expensive health care.

We need more of "The Mooch"! Dammit!

Hope everyone is doing great tonight! WASH YOUR HANDS

This lady said the complete opposite on Michael Moore’s podcast she said Joe Biden would be the worst case scenario to go up against trump??

You’d think obesity would want universal health care coverage

Watching on April 3. They had no idea...

Rachel reminds me of my grade 10 english teacher that I used to fantasize about drop kicking.

Scaramoochi makes a lot of sense and dems need to heed his words. He understands why Trump got elected and what it will take to get him out.

"socialist prospect has been vanquished" Sweety last time I checked the "socialist prospect" had about the same chance as the establishment to take over the party....

this panel needs a hitchslap in the worst way

Bitecofer speaks about her election predictions with utter certainty. Yet she incorrectly predicted a Clinton victory in 2016. Why exactly are we still taking these pundits predictions seriously?

I’m willing to use my awful health insurance funds to a national healthcare option. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

"Millenials are owning houses" Oh honey...

I laughed when she said “ more educated”.

Remember: pandemic isn't a measurement of severity. Very important to keep in mind. Epidemic is regional, pandemic is global. The definition is about numbers not severity.

Watching this two months later is kind of bizarre. “I think Coronavirus will be worse than the flu.” Gee whiz what a bold hot take that was.

Well that didn't age well. Ross Douthat was totally right on Covid and Bill was so wrong lol

We were so naive just a month ago.

this lady isn't as bright as she thinks she is. the judges are meant to progress rich people and keep the poor powerless

This was one of Bill's worst episodes, yet. Brian Cox, an actor, absolutely schooled the panel on real socialism and real socialized medicine. WHY DO YOU WANT TO PAY MORE FOR HEALTHCARE???? Because you don't like the title of a person that might bring it to your door step? Wow, amazing.

Improving Capitalism now equals Socialism? Congratulations, America. We've become one of R Kelly's girlfriends.

Rachael definitely ate a couple of Bernie supporters right before the show.

"they're making it less white, younger, more female.." Except for the Democratic presidential primary ...

Sorry. But I am team Monica...she got screwed, not the Clintons

She is one of those ppl who likes the sound of her own voice

Great......Scaramucci again...he always has something intelligent to say.

Ask people who've actually lived under single payer health care, I've NEVER heard a single individual say they would trade it for our for-profit illness management system. Not ONE. Bill sounds skeptical and dismissive about the words from the person who actually lived under the system. He follows that up by stating that salaried pay for doctors will be a tough sell. Many doctors are salaried already. There's no guarantee that under a single-payer system they will make less nor make more. No country who has enacted single-payer healthcare has seen a massive migration of doctors out of the country, and neither would we (going where?). The fact that in study after study an overwhelming number of healthcare professionals, doctors, nurses, pas, you name it, they would rather see a single-payer system than our current system, and most of the data isn't even close, it's overwhelmingly in support of a system that focuses on actual healthcare and not generation of profits from management of people's illnesses (more commonly it's management of symptoms, forget the causes).

The hack from NYT didn't listen to Yang. Yang talked mostly about past automation and future automation, not current.

Rachel Bitecofer is one sharp cookie!

Well said Brian Cox, well said Sir

Why doesn’t Biden do more interviews???

George Washington : "I cannot tell a lie." tRump : "I cannot tell the truth." tRump voter : "I cannot tell the difference!"

This show has gone DOWNHILL!

My favorite social policy in the USA is the Fire Department. What's yours?

Have any of these talking heads been right about ANYTHING?

It's difficult to understand why many in the US cannot grasp the concept of health care for all & what works in most developed countries. Slice it how you like, what you have now ain't so good & rather a shame for a country like the USA. Embrace it, you'll wonder what took you so long! Respectfully.

I listen to an Emergency Medicine podcast out of Canada. One episode they interviewed an ER Doc at LA County. He described how a male patient with a potentially lethal (non-contagious) condition and no medical insurance refused care and walked out rather than risk bankrupting his family. I will never forget the bewilderment of the Canadian doctors as they heard this story. They clearly had never witnessed anything remotely like this. As a US ER doc I witness similar on a regular basis. It was comforting to hear the Canadian docs express the appropriate outrage and incredulity. When I was a little girl, debating whether to try to be a vet or a physician, no one said that the human healthcare system I would be working in would mandate I treat the banker's child differently than the plumber's child. That is what we have in the US. And it is morally offensive. Any system is going to reflect the funding and care that goes into it. And I know the Canadian system is not perfect. BUT, it will be interesting to see how rapidly this virus sweeps Canada. This is herd medicine ladies and gentlemen. The US's lack of ability to screen, monitor, treat and support the ENTIRE herd will mean this is going to hit faster. The epidemiologic goal is to SLOW the virus's spread so the hospitals that are already swamped have a little better chance to deal. Otherwise, the doc has to choose which patient gets the ventilator and which patient gets to die. There are not enough ventilators. There are not enough critical care (ICU) beds. There are not enough critical care nurses or intensivists. Baseline critical care capability is already inadequate. Every ER I have worked can't get patients out of the ER and into the ICU because of current baseline lack of critical care capacity. We have to remove the privatization and profit motivation from our medical system. The US refused to accept test kits offered by the WHO. Why? There is a lot of money to be made from testing and elements within the US health system succumbed to greed. MEDICARE FOR ALL OR CORONAVIRUS FOR ALL. TIME TO CHOOSE.

so Bill you're not thinking about the people that can't afford to go to the doctor, there are millions of them and if I was 80 and had invested in a health insurance for all of my life and when I needed it most had no access to it, I'd be really pissed off...ageism is not a reason to let people die.

We are all socialists

The freaked out millennials she referenced are overwhelmingly supporting Bernie Sanders and are overwhelmingly apathetic about Biden.

Watching this on 10-17-20. Bill should watch this today. If we only knew...

Weird seeing them sitting close together in the days before covid ;)

Rachel Bitecofer was on Michael Moore's podcast and she was talking about a totally different thing! She said nothing about the socialist risk! She said it's not a good idea to run as a "moderate".

The arrogence of the people who lost spectacularly in 16' is incredible. I guess these people need another loss to get more humble.

Funny watching the conversation on Carona from back then.

Did she just refer to Gen X as "Millennials". Check your math, lady.

I'm a millennial born in 82' and im only 37. I'm not in my 40's.

Scaramucci is just great. No, seriously. The boy is smart...

A debate between Biden and Bernie before the Tuesday vote would have been eye opening and a game changer

3:55 Interesting discussion about Covid19. My how things change in the 3 weeks from 7 March to today 28 March.

Be careful trusting the "analysis" of someone who is so obviously and unabashedly biased.

Dont bring back rachel.....ever.

Love Brian Cox!! A brilliant Scottish Actor.

That stats lady is really confident for someone who deals in probability.

The VA is treating COVID-19 very seriously.

The oldest millennials will not turn 40 for another two years. This lady is mistaken.

That lady needs her own show. Very witty and informative.

Brian Cox you are a TREASURE- Thank YOU!!!

Well, that didn't age well. Bill was pretty well off about Covid19.

I disagree with Douthat on all kinds of stuff. And YET, here he is, five days before the NBA was shut down, a week before national industry was shut down, basically like, "Oooooooooohhhhhhh, this is way worse than y'all think it is."

Great panel.

Rachel Bitehoofer is the worst Melissa McCarthy character ever.

The NHS is totally different from Medicare for All. It's more like the VA or Kaiser Permanente. But my primary care doctor is now in a big university related group and on salary. It's the trend one way or another.

Are there any progressives left who bill invites on

We are simply asking for health care to be affordable for everyone. The insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, and doctors will still make a profit. Premiums, deductibles, prescription drug costs, and co-pays are absolutely criminal to levy on any family. We are twenty years behind, and this health care system needs to exposed for how it is ruining lives.

I wonder what Bill Maher would say if he watched this video today (part he speaks about Covid)...

* looks down at his pillow laiden comfy chair and frowns *

Bitecofer you're wrong. Period.

This was one of the best episodes in a long time IMO. Flanagan, Cox and Mooch were great.

Watching this in the future is hilarious

This hasn't aged well.

I think the main reason Britain has embraced the NHS is because they have tasted firsthand the devastation war brings to a nation. The United States has not felt war on its own soil and a complete breakdown of society that can occur so we don't feel as strongly bonded as the British do. In Britain everyone was in it together and feel that it is a good thing to make sure everyone is taken care of.

doctors in the UK can also see patients privately. The UK doctors have to see a certain amount of NHS patients a month to ge that salary.

Funny how people think they know everything...Remember all theses people said Trump would never be President

That “election forecaster” is insufferable

The panel acts like they never met a narcissist in real life before!!

He's gonna hit your silenced right in your bullseyes !!! These people are so articulate and make so much sensed !!!

I love Brian Cox

Man that guy that wrote that book didn’t do a good job of selling it

Bill you’ve been on cushions too long. Most of the us haven’t been sitting on a cushion.

When Agamemnon said it's the management in the health system that has been trash............... I felt that shit.

Omg this guy was right about Covid!

Caitlin Flanagan... I am so glad I don't know her, nor do I ever want to see her on any program again.

I really don't understand what the general American electorate is doing. Year after year they give their vote to some "moderate" in the hopes that they will bring about change. This never happens and yet they continue to vote in this predictable red state/blue state pattern. My question for you, gentle voter, is what exactly are you hoping to happen this year that will differ from our past.

Great point. It is the managers who suck. As a nurse I see this daily. They won't buy basic supplies or fix hazards but they will buy a new race car. The priority is not to the patients it is to the shareholders and CEOs. Patients are charged an exuberant amount and the money goes into pockets before care. Then there is the medical extortion.

I LOVE THE MOOCH!☺💗

Wow that first lady is so out of touch with actual people

I expect Rachel Bitecofer, reads tarot cards when she's not making New Year predictions.

There's something slightly amusing about the first Hannibal Lector (from Manhunter, pre-Silence of the Lambs) discussing healthcare: "Yes, I'll eat you, but then I'll make sure that whatever's left of you gets the best possible healthcare."

Ms. Rachel Bitecofer you rock! Appreciate your opinion!
