I live in a country that has universal healthcare, we have a government that sees a role for both the private and public healthcare sectors. It’s not the greatest system in the world as it does have its problem, usually politically induced by our conservatives party, who favour private over public healthcare. But non the less, one you can count on for free hospital care if needed. Now that we a retired seeing our GP is also free and our medications are also heavily subsidies. One of our medications retails for $31 but because it is subsidised only costs us $7. This not because we are retirees, everyone pays the subsidised price for drugs on the PBS. This drug without insurance in the US retails for $400 not $31 as it is here. The problem with the US is that you don’t have governments who can stand up against the capitalists who feeds them. Leaving the average citizen to fend for themselves. Capitalism has replaced the slave owners of the past. But instead of having 600 slaves like Thomas Jefferson, they have millions.
The problem in the USA vs. Europe and the richer Asian nations is that the Working Class in USA were rendered impotent in 1947, wage and price controls during World War II created an "employer based" system of 'insurance' and the PROFIT motive is allowed to drive the entire system. The GOAL of Health Care in European and Asian nations is Health Care As A Human Right and each country has devised their own way to realize that goal. ONLY IN AMERICA(USA) is "remedial sick care" considered a commodity, a corporate controlled PRODUCT that if you can't "afford" the highest "quality", you can't get it. And of course, another dirty little secret is that the corporate profit motive also perverts the education of our Docs so that what "care" we do get is seriously substandard and defaults to drugs or surgery - not HEALTH PROMOTION.
A private clinic has to pay a percentage to insurance companies for taking patients that have to use their health insurance. My dentist would prefer for me to pay cash, and even got a discount when I did so.

Richard Nixon wanted to reform the US healthcare system during his second term (1973-76) as this video clip from various newscasts from 1973 demonstrates: [ th-cam.com/video/iGKkPEvD2OM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=fLE1IagVHc3h89OT ] Ted Kennedy, an influential US Senator at the time, refused to compromise with Nixon on healthcare reform. Kennedy later said that his greatest regret in public life was not compromising with Nixon on healthcare reform at that time. In 1973, the US healthcare system was nowhere near as dysfunctional and corrupt as it is today. In 1972, Richard Nixon was re-elected by what remains to this day the largest electoral victory margin in US election history-just under 18 million votes. He intended to do healthcare reform using the Kaiser system as a model. The US healthcare Establishment (AMA, insurance companies, hospitals, etc.) did not want “socialized medicine” and fought against healthcare reform. That is one of the reasons Nixon was ousted from office in 1974.
I have also lost respect for most US doctors. They were too cowardly during covid to speak out and they're still silent now about the healthcare system.
The horror stories of families who lost loved ones on the hands of doctors. Who knew the patient would not survived....😂😂😂😂 But went on with the treatment of Chemotherapy, in order to make money...Doctors are in complicity too.....I don't have any health care company .... aI use herbs and diet ❤❤❤❤

I feel impressed that the American People will not protest against their taxpayers' money to be wasted on wars both in Ukraine and Gaza. Brazil is a poor country that offers SUS to all Brazilians, a public health system that Bill Gates has complimented. It is not perfect, but it services the poorer classes. If you need a transplant, even if you are rich, you will still need SUS services. Brazil prefers to promote peace instead of using public money to foster criminal wars. I only wish that the Americans will turn against USA government and demand a good Health System for their people.
Richard Did you just figure that out. Your health care is great for the rich but for the working class you are not much better off than third world country. I live in Canada and I would never live in your country never never
And I would like to gently warn people: be careful what you wish for because Universal health insurance translates to universal United healthcare HMO for everyone and that’s pretty dystopian if you understand how an HMO works.
Any country that denies the right of the healthcare worker to get paid directly for their service and forces them to collect pay from a middleman is engaging in the same sin. This is why all countries with universal health coverage Also have shitty systems. So long as the people discriminate against health workers by not paying them directly for their work and instead of paying a middleman, they will be punished by a bad healthcare system.
Actually - USAmerica is an OUTLIER - the only for-corporate-profit system among affluent nations. That's why our system is ranked 69th in the world even though we're paying over $12,000 per person per year, TWICE what the next expensive and more effective system costs. It's about the PROFIT MOTIVE that drives it.
@@myutube4realz You don't seem to have much information about how other countries do Health Care... You're making counter-factual broad generalizations about them.
All of you have no problem paying for your cars your TV subscriptions your lawyers, massage, therapists and hookers. But yet you refuse to pay doctors and healthcare workers. You let them be abused and humiliated by the middleman who is paying them a godlessly unfair wage. Americans will pay $50 for a bottle of wine. But they don’t pay the $10 for the 90 day supply of a generic medicine. Now the pharmacy is forced to bill the insurance company creating a process that quadruples the cost in the form of rising premiums and more government fleecing. All because Americans refuse to pay directly and insist on punishing Health servicers by making them back for peanuts from insurance companies and PBMs.
