Original Video
--- • True cost of US Covid ...
Hello again, Loners. We thank you for stopping by again for another video! In this video, we look at some of the costs in the US for COVID-related issues. It was pretty insane to hear the prices even for us as well. If you enjoy our content please make sure to like and subscribe. Also, head over to our vlog channel for more personal content! Thank you all :) - บันเทิง
You weren't paying attention he said longer than two weeks….
And I'm assuming the treatment was for covid, so respirators, covid proof rooms, heart monitors, pain meds, round the clock nurses etc. I can see it easily getting to 1mill if a singular ambulance ride costs 2k !!
"that still affects your credit" is already so wrong as a concept.
USA: $2000 for an ambulance ride on bumpy streets.
Germany: 3300€ for an flight mit an emergency helicopter. The patient pay 60€ after recovery the rest covers the social health care insurance.
This is why we in Britain must resit all Tory and Refom attempts to get in power , vote for anyone but these to parties !
Can't say much of reform, but the Tories always try to weaken the NHS and other social programs, and I suspect that if they had their way, they would bring the UK more in line with the US as in being very pro business and to hell with the citizens.
Fortunately, the public keeps the Tories on a leash, so they can't mess up things too much, but if they are in power long enough, they can do enough damage to impact lives as we've seen over the last 14 or so years of Tory governments.
As for Reform, I can't say much about them, but being as Nigel Farage is the leader and has a reputation of lying, cheating and basically telling the people what they think they want to hear and not what can be realistically delivered, I don't think you would ever want these in power, they've already done enough damage to the UK with Brexit and they tend to be trend chaser, that are looking for openings and anger from the public in any area, so they can take advantage of that anger, basically, they don't really have any policies as such and would swing in other directions if they feel the wind is changing, basically, if the UK were to become very pro EU, Farage and the rest of Reform would as well, because it's all about power and manipulating the public to gain a bigger voice, some of the right wing media does the same thing, the Sun newspaper swings from Tories to Labour depending on public mode, they normally favour the Tories but when it looked like Labour were going to wipe them out before the 97 election, the Sun paper switched sides.
You can't really trust these people because they are playing on people's fears and anger and then they take advantage of that to gain a bigger voice with the aim of manipulating policymaking, something they've been very successful with in the UK, US and Australia, and there agenda rarely benefits the average person, they tend to be pro business and for the rich elites.
Do you haggle with the hospital over costs before, during, or after the heart attack?
😂 Exactly what I was thinking.
Predatory is the best way to describe health-care in the US. Very sadly.
Living and working in bangkok Thailand american friends sometimes shock me with their reluctance and resistance to seek medical care even here in Thailand that have better/higher rated and cheaper healthcare than the us.
Many of Americans seems go for selfmedication , weird homemede remedy's and ride out the storm mentality and I've dragged more than one american friend to a doctor over the years.. most of them comes out amazed that "it only costed 20$ with real medicine and no insurance needed " etc =)
In Norway dental is not free after 25. You get 75% covered between 18 and 25. It is not super expensive though. A checkup without anything done is probably 80 USD or something. I usually pay around 120-140 for some x-rays, tartar removal and cleaning once a year.
I'm soooo happy to not live in the US anymore, horrible horrible country healthcare wise. Feel sorry for the average Joe, like you guys. I've visited my GP on numerous occasions, hospital visits, tests etc. 0 money paid, just working and paying taxes. Child birth during COVID pandemic 0 money. Just today my wife visited our GP, exam, prescription, booked blood test, all 0 money. I'm not saying free, because it's not, it's all paid by our taxes.
Newsflash, the US government paid for the Covid vaccines for all Americans.
I remember as a kid, I used to look up to the US, but as the internet took hold and showed us the real realities of things, the US as modern countries go is probably one of the least appealing, and not because of just health care but many other weak social program, not to mention the inequality, food standard, poverty, safety and countless other things.
The US is out of step with pretty much every other modern country and even some developing countries, and not in a good way, and I'm surprised Americans put up with it, well not surprised really, ignorance isn't bliss, and that is the real problem for Americans, most don't know any better and think they've got it great, yet it's becoming rare for Americans that do travel and live in other countries to not see how bad the US is becoming.
Americans travelling a lot more and having a passport would probably do the US a world of good, until then, most will live in ignorance and the few that do open their eyes, it's not really enough to get real change in the country.
As Americans we've been told all our lives that the USA has the best of everything and we're the envy of the world. Which of course was only true from 1948 through the '60's. But we're still brainwashed that nothing's changed - not to mention we're also basically lied to about other countries (especially Europe). That you're taxed into virtual poverty so can't even afford a car (our public transit sucks!) and people have to wait weeks for a doctor appointment. I have an friend here in the States and she's a fairly well educated/average American who actually said to me after I was extolling the wonders of Great Britain, that "at least we're free". She actually thinks the citizens of the UK don't have free speech etc. That's the result of our LOUSY education system and conservative politics. We spend a frigging fortune on our military (why???) yet our infrastructure is crumbling and our homeless population is soring.
And if Trump gets back in you'll be able to see the final collapse of the US in real time.
I'm already looking into what the immigration requirements are for Wales ... seriously.
@@Lhildebrand0604 that is not true for all medical appointments, I took a tumble down the stairs on Saturday, June 22 and went to the ER for X-rays and was home from the ER in under 3 hours and I called the orthopedic clinic on Monday and I got an appointment for the next day and was at the orthopedic clinic in less than an hour.
Where are you? USA or UK? If you'retalking about the UK I totally agree (I was treated at a hospital in Wales while on vacation - FOR FREE!) I was speaking about the misperceptions most Americans have about National Healthcare. We've been fed horror stories about NH and most Americans automatically take it as truth. @@marydavis5234
I had my wisdom teeth out on the NHS and it cost me £40. Made an appointment by phone and had them out the following day, but I did have to pay another £9 for the prescription antibiotics
Dental costs in the UK are not free as such but they are subsidised....ie in Scotland I got 2 x-rays, routine examination, tooth extraction....cost me about 20 dollars
I spent two nights in hospital and just for the room it was 30000 a night they charged my insurance nevermind the charges for meds and tests and doctors
Profit above peoples health is emoral .
In France :everyone who cant afford can have healthcare for free , thoses who can afford have just to pay an assurrance for the 25% not covered like a 50-400 euro a year .
you can go to the doctor everydays for checkup if you want , an ambulance is 20 euros , its just a ride after all .
the maner to calculate the prices are very different :
in france we calculate all the production and shipping cost we put a 30% more for the compagny and thats all the gvt is negociating .
in US its private so the free market scams you its cost exactly the same to produce and to ship , you add the complexity of the system like 30% and then you add the benefit the compagny want to make and the anwser is simple : the MAXIMUM you can get away with if they could triple the actual cost why not people dying is not taken into account when you are capitalist :).
and its legal ... in france its not a thing .
Hello from Sweden 😁
If you were admitted during Covid you probably needed intensive care - ventillators, respirators, sealed rooms where staff had to change clothes after each visit, constant surveillance, lots of medication, tests, food, one to one staffing. With the insane mark up in the US i can easily see it reaching a million bucks.
you can t negauiate that because your most dead
i didend sign a bill, so you to it free,or you kill me
More Politics Joe (maybe more recent voxpops)!
if you kill me , all of you arer in jail for the rest of you life
