I like how destiny says "when my wife had cancer we had to get a divorce before we could pay for it." In the same breath he's saying it's not that messed up.
I think the issue is that the complexity of out system is that it results in people slipping through the cracks and makes it more expensive than it should be. Like I’ve never had to worry about medical insurance. But the idea I’m screwed if I lose my job is BS.
I make 17k a year and just got denied Medicare. Shit sucks bro.
I made way more than that when I had Medicaid. You did something wrong.
Are you living alone or are you dependent on your parents? You need to “pay rent” to your parents if that’s the case
If you’re under 65 you’re not getting Medicaid.
Might wanna get someone to help sounds like you filled something out wrong or youre lying about something
It really just depends on the state you live in. Some states don’t offer Medicaid for low income, only for pregnant women, elderly, and ppl with disabilities (Florida and TX for example)
1 hour unpaid lunch is not illegal. Walmart is one of the largest employers in America and they do that.
Yeah that's such a basic fact but destiny is clueless on what normal Americans deal with. He went through tough times over a decade ago, but he's lost touch since then
"Destiny just wants to be right" I finally understand professor😭
The real question is why should we need to have medicaid or insurance? Why does going to the hospital cost a fuckton if you dont even have it? No one is asking the right questions.
I agree
Because the insurance providers argue that they should get to pay lower prices for paying 'in-bulk' for all the people they provide for, the Pharmaceutical providers massively up-charge to compensate so that the slashed price becomes something they can still realisticially profit off of and keep their own stock holders happy. It's essentially a system of overpaid middlemen that only works most of the time because our government pays for the least fortunate, and it has become expected for job providers to cover the rest. Like almost everything else in America, this denies mobility to the middle-class and grants more power to the upper class, as anyone who wants to start a small business needs to cover the insurance of employees, and workers are afraid to leave their jobs because they'll lose their insurance.
In other news, right leaning governments across the world wish to emulate this system if they get the opportunity, I wonder why (besides being deficit hounds).
I can't afford insurance. If I broke my leg and went to the ER, I would be completely broke. I would have nothing left to my name. Medicaid is only accessible to people who meet the requirements. Being poor alone is not a qualification for Medicaid.
One of the most annoying things about the money conversation is when people say shit like “just live for a year on [insert x low wage here]” as if that’s the bad part about being poor. The part that sucks about being poor is feeling like you’ll probably always be poor for the rest of your life. If I know all I have to do is wait a year to be wealthy again I’ll go live on the side of the mf’ing road in Alaska bro. Who cares at that point.
amen
The point is to increase empathy, even of only a little bit
Destiny is completely separated from the life of people making less than $50k.
I like videos like this because it lets me know that I dont just agree with everything destiny says.
Sometimes I'm worried because I agree with 90% of what he says, then he says shit like this and pretends everyone who disagrees with him is some college kid who family is rich. Nice strawmen arguments
Exactly America has the worst healthcare in the developed world. Americans spend more money and have worse outcomes. Highest infant mortality rate highest number of women dying during pregnancy. And if I did research I would probably find more.
@@liberalbias4462 Like the top end of american health care is insane. If you're rich in any country on earth and someone you care about is sick you take them to america. But for the average person its soooo shit. I know so many people who have been fucked by the american health care system. To act like its just "socialists crying" or "rich college kids making shit up" is fucking insane.
@@liberalbias4462 Depends on what you mean by "Worst" America's quality is quite good especially if you want a specialist.
Where America fails is in accessibility. Actually distributing that care to those who need it at a reasonable and affordable rate.
It's like a restaurant that sells the best steak on the planet, but everyone has to pay to make reservations and only like...10% of the people do actually get to eat there.
We do have penalties for smoking: increase rates
Honestly working in a community pharmacy kinda helped me realize how good medical/medicaid and medicare are/how good private insurance through jobs is. Its just the system makes it super tedious to get proper care+lots of MDs dont really know small nuances about certain things/prescribe brand drugs that the PTs insurance wont pay then it becomes a mess. THis isnt even going into PAs&the ignorance lots of PTs and even their MDs have about their insurance formulary and deductibles. A lot of the times the drug you need or a similar drug is covered, its just a huge mess of finding which drug is covered and sometimes it gets as gritty as only certain manufacturers being covered or pick up methods like 90 day supplies only being covered via mail order. Its such a huge mess but if you can navigate the system it works pretty well
beggining of the video you say teh medical system is not fucked up, then later you say it is. which is it? Its fucked up. The cost and the care are one in the same. With all the experience you have how can you say the system isn't fucked up? I don't get that. It's the insurance system that fucks it up. Small biz owner here. I paid 900 dollars a month for my insurance last year because I needed the option to have care across state lines due to several chronic medical issues, and I still can't get the true care that I need. I'm confused as to what point you are trying to make in this video.
The edgelord must give edgelord answers
@@firefly9838 I guess so...
Destiny will deny it time after time but sometimes he just likes to disagree to disagree
The sad truth is a lot of these people paying really high rents are living in areas where the rent is high. I live in Spokane and the average rent here for one bedroom apartment is $1588. Which is a lot lower than Seattle, New York city and Los Angeles. it always astonishes me that people aren’t able to apply for jobs in areas that are more affordable to live. I know it’s not easy but if this is such a problem you’re going to have to do it. It’s not like a bunch of people haven’t been moving to Texas and Georgia for the exact same reasons. The cost-of-living is simply more affordable in those states.
The government should step in. Japan doesn't have this problem. Tokyo is one of the most affordable major cities in the world.
And what happens when the Supply of goods remains the same, but there's a sudden massive influx of Demand? What happens to the rent when previously there were say 3 renters competing for a unit, and then there's suddenly 10?
Prices will go up.
Not to mention that economic opportunity is not equally distributed. Spokane has an economic output of about 25 Billion dollars. Los Angeles, by comparison, has an economic output of 1 Trillion Dollars. For comparison’ sake, that makes Spokane's economy about 2.5% of LA. If LA's production was a dollar, Spokane would be _two pennies (and one hay-penny.)_
Spokane is cheaper because there is less competition, and there is less competition -in broad strokes- because there is less opportunity. So all these people just moving to Spokane is not a feasible solution to the problem
You do realize there are other cities in the US besides Los Angeles and Spokane, right? I even mentioned a few other places to move to like any of the cities in Texas and Georgia. Honestly, if you’re coming from Los Angeles, any city outside of California would probably be an improvement and most cities inside California would be as well. Try to read the whole post next time before writing a reply.
@@jordanwhite8718 You're right. I completely forgot there were more than two cities in the United States!
I guess the market forces and opportunity factors of why people live in certain areas actually doesn't matter! Whew, good job bro. You solved the housing crisis!
@@Awaken_To_0 oh no, I completely ignored the fact that there are reasons people live in certain cities. I also can’t believe I was so stupid that I couldn’t solve the entire housing crisis all by myself. I never said this was a perfect solution or that it was easy for people to do. I was just offering some advice that hopefully would work for some people. I don’t know why you thought that I was under this impression that I am somehow a God king who could solve the housing crisis just with my big brain. I’m just throwing out an idea that people could either choose to maybe give it a try or realize that it wouldn’t work for them. You’re the one who decided to make this a fight.
Real!
The main critique I have of our healthcare is its stupid focus on triage and managing symptoms as opposed to prevention. Good luck trying to get screened for something you feel is wrong early on. Doctors will dismiss you until you’re basically in the process of dying unless you pay out of pocket insane amounts of $$.
Ever see the chart that compares income to life expectancy for US and Europe? It’s sad. Life expectancy is higher across the board in Europe, but the delta only narrows at the top 0.1% of income levels. 😬
I'm 22 and I've had experiences where I paid a not insignificant amount of money for certain things I felt were wrong that might be serious in the future where my actual medical advice boiled down to "oh it's probably fine" or "why don't you come back in a year and see if it's gotten worse" A YEAR. It's depressing as fuck. I literally have dreams where I go in for cancer screenings because now I'm always worried that something like that is under the surface and I won't find out until it's too late. There are people I love and things I want to do. I feel like I'm a hair's width away from losing everything because of some stupid mistake like that.
(2) and idk if it really matters if a stranger reads TH-cam comments but hey if you want a real horror story- I have a friend who just graduated college in Utah. During her studies she was prescribed the wrong medication by her physician which rendered her infertile, almost killed her, and left her in the hospital for 2 weeks while all her friends and family abandoned her. She could not do anything to sue her physician because she still had to study and finish her degree, and now on top of student debt she has medical debt now. Fuck me, man.
Wow….8 years ago Destiny had a problem so now he like, understands being poor better than poor people ❤
Destiny was literally a carpet cleaner and got married for the benefits because he couldn't afford his university while working. The university he dropped out of because he needed to work more hours and couldn't juggle both. Destiny wasn't destitute, but he was definitely poor for a good period of time.
Ya he's fallen out of touch it happens.
American health care is the worst in the developed world. Americans spend more money and get worse outcomes. @@Jankyito
@@liberalbias4462 Maybe he's researched more and has come to certain conclusions based on that?
@@Jankyito I think he has forgotten those days...
@@Jankyito sounds like he was poor for less than half a decade. We’re talking like 18 to what, 23?
Yea…..about that 😂❤️
