I recently moved to the United States and to be honest I am shocked at the quality of healthcare and the cost. Americans – how do you put up with this? First I need to find a doctor who will accept my insurance, then I need to make an appointment, which is very difficult – clinic employees do not make an appointment right away, but promise to call me back and do not. And when finally you are assigned the date of the visit, it turns out that you have to wait a week, or a month, or even more. And when you finally get your visit, doctor will spend no more than 5 minutes on you and examine you rather superficially. You feel worthless, because they just made money on you but did not help solve your health problem 🙁 I am originally from Ukraine and you will not believe – in our country, even now during the war, you can easily make an appointment with any doctor and get an appointment the very next day. The doctor will examine you very carefully, prescribe various analyzes and tests to make an accurate diagnosis, will definitely consult and answer all your questions. And all this will cost ten times cheaper than in America! And one more thing that might surprise you: when our children get sick, we just call the doctor at home, instead of going with a sick child to urgent care and sitting there for an hour while the child will examined by the doctor. I frankly do not understand how you allowed such an attitude towards yourself.
Is this the voice actor from Bob's burgers? Lol
Even the right-wing conservative nationalist governments of Europe support universal healthcare. See Hungary for example.
I don't have insurance. I don't have healthcare. I need to see a Dr. I cannot afford to see a Dr. I don't go to the Dr. I die ☠️
The end.

Insurance is only used for emergency and not for daily service
It also saves a shit tons of paper work
Progressive tax means taxation of 50%
bottom 1/5th of wage earners had their incomes rise the fastest of all groups. That was the first time that had happened since the George W Bush administration.
Because both Trump and W. used Kennedy's theory of using lower taxes, less immigration, deregulation, and smaller government to tighten up the labor market. Which raises wages, allows mobility, allows for advancement, and gives people dignity.
Compare that to the Democrat policies of using high taxes, over regulation, open immigration, and big government to put permanent slack into the labor market. Which drives down wages and drives up housing prices at the same time, to the point tens of millions of people don't have any money left over at the end of the month. And it's the low wages at the bottom that allows the excesses at the top, causing the wealth gap.
Raising the bottom 1/5th of wage earners wealth relative to everyone else is something liberals will never be able to do because of their policies.
In America you have to buy your healthcare at the company store. That is why you get overpriced low quality healthcare. The reason you have to buy your healthcare at the company store is because Democrats put on wage and price controls in WW2 and companies had to offer healthcare to draw in workers. Then Obama in his infinite incompetence codified it into law.
The problem is government interference in the free market. More government interference won't solve the problem. It will make it WORSE. The answer is a competitive free market in healthcare that drives down prices and drives up the quality of service.
"It is amazing that people who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medication somehow think that we can afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, medication and a government bureaucracy to administer it."
Thomas Sowell
4:16 I think it should cost something though.
The real cost of all of that is less than half of what they charge us (other countries pay half what we do and there are people who "abuse" it in other countries so that brings it up to about half.)
I think $100 out-of-pocket for that would be good (with a little more tacked on with income. For example, someone earning $200,000 might pay $300 for all of that while someone earning $50,000 would pay $100.)
Just as a motivation to take care of oneself and not abuse the system, but that's all- no charging more!
I'm a Republican and a Trump voter. However, I have, and will always, support a universal healthcare system in this country and many of my conservative actually do as well. When we have debates about which systems we like best, it always seems like the Australian system appeals most to my friends and I! There's a public system and a private system which allows for choice! Plus, Australians pay about 2% of their income in taxes to Medicare. Then, they have private secondary insurance which allows for any additional costs to be covered at zero to no charge. I love it! It's not perfect but I think this would be more appealing than something like the British NHS which to me and many others, seems too much like socialism and offers little to no choice or recourse.
Bernie I talk from Belgium so other European countries might be a little different. Our social security funds are started by the socialist union in 1850. The Catholics came later, as usual. It was started as solidarity between the members. So it did not come from the top, the state but from the bottom. And it shall not be called socialist as it is supported by all parties, from left to right. The state later took control and made it universal, so available to everybody. They took the control, but did not take over the funds, which still exist as non profit organisations. But it is solidarity and that lacks in the USA. I don't mind paying for it and hope I will never need it. But I and my whole society, can not accept fellow citizens not to be taken care of if required. And there are 2 key words: solidarity and non-profit. Solidarity in the USA seems not to exist, why should they pay for somebody else, let them take care of it. They are not social, they are asocial. And your health in the USA is not yours. It is a product that can be traded and made profit on. But the same go's for the hospitals which were started long ago by catholic orders. They provided the money to build them, the nuns and fathers so man them. So a lot of them still have a Saint name. And they are non profit as well. Bernie I think it is impossible to change the money and profit driven American system to the non-profit as we have. I think Americans can't even imagine that is exists, can function. But it does. Regards and wishes.
DEFINITELY, A LOT BETTER-!!! IF- there wasn't a secret Eugenics agenda to get rid of the poor by the rich & wealthy, it would already be… The rich/wealthy have been at war with the working class and poor for a long time in America… And, YES; it is 'class-warfare' (LITERALLY)-!!!!!!! Don't believe me-?? How many rich/wealthy people died in Vietnam or Afghanistan-??? How many people wind up in the dog pound for human beings (nursing homes) in America (then INTENTIONALLY get exposed to GERMS or viruses)-??? America, will sell their soul for a nichol or a dime and gladly throw 'others' under the bus for a nichol or a dime (The Nazi Way)… 🤔😞💩😠👎
It makes sense if you know our po,iticians are corrupt and have been bought since Reagan and that goes for both sides of the aisle otherwise we already would have healthcare gor all universal health care like Western Europe and every civilized democracy as well as authoritarian countries. CORRUPTION.
I still don’t understand the $1000 price tag on blood test, WHAT?
As an Australian watching this, feels like satire
Are we discussing that a state system can be efficient??
Like the Pharma / Insurance Mafia is going to let that happen….. Jajajajaja!! Did everyone forgot that the only politician that is not getting paid by Big Pharma is Bernie?
I was a type 1 diabetic Canadian who lived for 20 years in the USA. I left in 2021. Their healthcare system has very much EARNED the title "Byzantine Nighttmare" during my time there. It's why I'll not return to work there for the rest of my life.
Fun fact:

Cant happen while our government is controlled by those who profit off the current system. Why its been over 3 years since this was posted and health care has only gotten much much worse.
This girl in the video looks like Katie Stevens.
Sad we'll never have healthcare like this in the US, our corporate and elite overlords would never want to do anything in the benefit of the common man that doesn't involve bleeding every cent they can from them.
Wouldn’t have any thing to do with healthcare and the desire for population control and getting people off Social Security and Medicare, would it.
In a simple Google search, I ask what is the cure to schizophrenia or bipolar for example as medical issues and it says in the medical websites that there's no cure for any mental illnesses at this time. I think the medical system especially in the U.S. is broken. Why is it understandable and acceptable and moral for psychiatrist or any other doctors to take money from "sick" clients to "treat" diseases they don't really understand? Then as society we're suppose to keep upholding these doctors and pay them a lot of money! It makes no sense. It's medical abuse and a cycle of violence to be expected to pay doctor's for services when they don't provide the answer. What is the solution, the cure, the remedy, the answer to mental illness? Is it really a lifelong sentence of taking medication? Is it to put a person in a psychiatric hospital, force them to "try" all these different medications and experimenting on them to an extent, and then putting them in a life long relationship with a psychiatrist, a pharmacist, and prescription medication? I find the medical system here in the U.S. to be a business model: not designed to get people well again but to keep them in a toxic relationship. How can a person be free when they are 100% dependent on medication which is also backed by a well paid doctor? This paradigm is how to chain a sick person into a cycle of medical misconduct. Why is it like this here anyway? Is the U.S. only based on paychecks/salaries. No one cares anymore about doing what is right and that's to give people back their lives where their freedoms aren't taken away by this corrupt medical system. I believe their should be higher standards and better expectations than greed.
Remind me again, why I keep seeing Americans say that theirs is the greatest country in the world? You guys dont even have affordable health-care. Oh, oh, yeah, I forgot, you have Lockheed Martin and Raytheon, the right to carry arms and freedom of speech. But let me know if your President can ever openly say that religion rightfully has no place in politics, and get elected another term maybe. That'll be freedom of speech.
American healthcare system is run, controlled, and manipulated by the MAFIA!
ARCHER!!!!
