In South Korea, We have universal Health Care. We had it for generations and It worked for us. If we can afford it, than the country with the biggest and most powerful economy can afford it too.
Yeah. But Koreans probably don't have the radical divide between the ultra-rich and the poor that the United States does. The American Rich don't want to pay for anything that might benefit other people.
You dont understand they dont want health care for all because its a billion dollar industry and those who profit are funding Republicans and there agenda.
In order for us to be able to destroy the world 50 times over,our great political leaders have made the choice.If health care for all were to be implemented,then our ability to destroy the world would diminish to only 25 times over.
JT26blue Exactly!! Also there were “ bail outs” for dairy farmers and other farmers as well. There are news clips showing milk and other foods being dumped out on the ground and getting destroyed, while people were starving, in order to raise the prices of farm and dairy goods on the stock market. Why was their no outcry about that, but helping people NOT starve, through government assistance, is booed today?
Yep... I've been saying that for 40 years! Right-wing grifters fear the potential success of Nordic style socialiam which was created in part thanks to FDR's New Deals, because, they know if done properly, everyone will prefer it to greed-based capitalism alone, as they prefer Nordic Socialism in prosperous nations such as Canada, Denmark, Netherlands, etc.
If the term “socialism” triggers a negative reflex in you, know that it is responsible for several indispensable facets of American society, including but not limited to: -Medicare -Fire Departments -Public Libraries -Highways -Garbage Disposal -FBI -Museums -Public Parks -And Social Security.
By "Going back to socialism," Manuchin meant going back to the period of 1940-1980, when American actually had socialistic economic policies---you know that time, when we won WWII, and then built the largest industrial base and the largest middle-class in the world. Gee, what's happened since 1980?
Up here in Canada, we can't help but giggle at your fear of the dreaded "socialism". We are a nice balance between capitalism and socialism and it works VERY well.

Well Phoenix its good you paid your own bill for your own surgery .WE all get sick and we all have to find a way sometimes I have to pray to my higher power if I feel a sickness coming because I can't afford to get sick .
it's funny that the notion of redistribution of income from the wealthy is regarded as socialism. But the redistribution of income from the lower and middle class is simply called income tax. Actually it is so sad and depressing.
Very rich people don't like paying their fair share of taxes. Some very rich wouldn't care if a nuclear bomb hit a city full of hoods like Detroit and totally vaporized it.
Curt Randall One of my favorite new things is when I see people holding signs and chanting "Keep Yer Government Hands Off My Medicare!!" Yeah, freedom.
Yeah, as a Christian I believe that people should generally take care of each other, which sometimes seems closer to socialism (which forces people to share their wealth) vs capitalism (which makes it an option). I’m just not sure if it’s the government’s responsibility to take money from the rich and give it to the poor. But I think it’s important for the general public to get the care they need... especially those who don’t know Jesus yet ; )

You got that so right. The big problem I see in the comments that people have absolutely no idea what Socialism actually is. They perpetually mix it up with social security or social structures and mechanics. And those mechanics are not in conflict with a free market / capitalism. But they are NOT Socialism.

mat f I assure you that I paid... my point is that we make too much money to qualify for the government programs that are available. It shouldn’t cost more than our mortgage for health insurance each month! Plus our deductible is sky high. That figure is after we paid for insurance... the middle class is suffering to pay for healthcare while the people who don’t work don’t pay 💰 we need healthcare for all so that you can actually afford to work and not worry about loosing your house if you get sick!
@@lorabetht9206 I am a US citizen living in a socialist country where I was treated and operated for colon cancer, which would have cost me $60,000 in the US.

William H. Baird Exactly! You can believe in religion and evolution at the same time. God created everything, including the wisdom to learn the steps that it took to become human beings. Does anyone seriously believe in the story of Adam, Eve and the talking snake? If you do, who did Cain beget children with, his mother? According to the story, she was the only female human around!
@@carolsmith6777 Not to defend what is clearly myth, but the bible states that Cain and Abel were only two of many children. It also states that Cain took one of his nieces (one of his siblings daughters) with him. The myth places Adam at about 900 years old when he dies, with quite a large number of children, grand children great grandchildren, etc from over the years. Oddly enough, not only did his children couple with their siblings, and with their older siblings children, grandchildren, etc - I suppose when you have a brother who's 600 years older than you, they have great grandchildren who are your age or older too - the bible and the apocrypha talk about the "people in the land" that lived adjacent to Adam. It talks about how Adam daughters were taking up with these outsiders, "the sons of men", and having offspring with them. Kind of a weird myth that God created Adam and Eve, but meanwhile other people already lived nearby outside of the garden.
I live in Canada and thank my lucky ass everyday that I've not had to pay one penny for any health issues over 53yrs. I am as free as any American even without a gun. Even the bear in my backyard is like "sorry dude just passing thru."
In Canada you are more free then in the US, I was born Canadian but lived in the US for twenty some years, when I moved back to Canada was when I really found out how much more free Canada is compared to the US. Some of my friends wanted my guns, but no, I am a hunter and a sport shooter, by doing the paper work and safety courses in advance I could bring my guns with me, even the hand guns. If you research the worlds countries by freedom the US is always classified as semi-free (12th place) while Canada is classified as free (6th place).
It's done by the folks who don't acknowledge that there IS such a separation. Or, if they do, wanna knock it down. Want more fuel? Congress has a Chaplain. Makes about 185k a year.

@@ifihadahammer7856 go and have a read and you will find that it doesn't mean freedom from religion it is quite explicate in stating "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" The founding fathers were intent on making sure that there was no State religion but not that there should be no religion. Many of the original settlers were running from oppression from State sponsored religions, for example the Anglican church in England. They fled to the colonies so that they could practise their religion in a way they saw fit. Much of the American legal code is based on religious beliefs.

This morning I was awoken by my alarm clock, powered by electricity generated by the public power monopoly regulated by the US Department of Energy. I then took a shower in the clean water provided by the municipal water utility. After that, I turned on the TV to one of the FCC regulated channels to see what the National Weather Service of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration determined the weather was going to be like using satellites designed, built, and launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. I watch this while eating my breakfast of US Department of Agriculture inspected food and taking the drugs which have been determined as safe by the Food and Drug Administration. At the appropriate time as regulated by the US Congress, and kept accurate by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the US Naval Observatory, I get into my National Highway Traffic Safety Administration approved automobile and set out to work on the roads built by the local, state, and federal Departments of Transportation, possibly stopping to purchase additional fuel of a quality level determined by the Environmental Protection Agency, using legal tender issued by the Federal Reserve Bank. On the way out the door, I deposit any mail I have to be sent out via the US Postal Service and drop the kids off at the public school. After work, I drive my NHTSA car back home, on DOT roads, to a house which has not burned down in my absence because of the state and local building codes and Fire Marshal's inspection, and which has not been plundered of all its valuables thanks to the local police department. I then log on to the internet which was developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Administration and post on FreeRepublic(.)com and Fox News forums about how SOCIALISM is BAD because the government can't do anything right.

America get it through your thick head. Public health care, does not mean free health care. It is just not run for profit. The notion of letting corporations run health care is insane. They care for one and one thing only- profit. While in modern left leaning countries such as those in Western Europe, health care is ran by the government with the option to get extra coverage from the private companies.But in the end government steps in whenever the corporations cross the line. Like jack up prices for medicine and health care services. Everybody gets sick, so everybody pays. Sure young healthy people pay for elder folks, but eventually they will get older and their health will decline, at which point they will get taken care of by younger people.
while on the one hand public healthcare means more people will have affordable treatment, it is also true that the corporate run heathcare we have had in the U.S. has fostered a climate of competition and funded research for new treatments which would never have been able to happen if not for the massive amount of money the corporations stand to make by developing those new and better treatments.
@@Mouse_007 What it also means, unfortunately, is that healthcare is a for-profit system. And that means that insurance companies and many hospitals are run in such a way that poor to middle-income people will be denied preventative care, tests for rare but deadly diseases, coverage for catastrophic injury, prenatal health, etc. because it doesn't help the insurance company's stock price or their CEO's percentage. That's frankly sick. Even people like me, reasonably well-to-do, are screwed, because I make just enough annually to not qualify for subsidy, but not enough to afford the only (literally, only) ACA-compliant package available, which takes more than a quarter of my monthly income in premiums and an astronomical deductible. I would sure as hell rather give that money to a government-run healthcare exchange, where many Americans could receive better healthcare, than line the pockets of an insurance company bigwig.

No, it's because they make their money off of our backs. I would say that Robertson doesn't even fall into the category of people we should raise taxes on, the bracket would be set at a higher floor than his income. Either way, at our economic height we had a top marginal tax rate between 78% and 93%, and it worked, because business owners didn't want to pay taxes, they rather reinvest in their companies, that meant more employees, better pay and benefits, and more investment into infrastructure, which was the point of the tax, so they wouldn't horde all the money in off shore accounts, and it would circulate and keep economic stability. Do you get that?
@dans h _using his so called religion for a cover up_ Of course, he's right. If Christians actually believed that nonsense, they'd agree with him. If death isn't the end, then _when_ you die is meaningless. You don't lose anything if you're going to live forever, anyway. You _certainly_ don't lose anything if you're going to a magic place that's better in every way than the Earth. Indeed, if you actually believed that nonsense, you'd _cheer_ when children die, right? I mean, Christians are always telling me that children automatically go to Heaven, without risking Hell. So Christians should _want_ their children to die. They should be teaching their children to go play on the highway. Of course, for centuries, churches told parents that unbaptized infants went to Hell. But after torturing parents for hundreds of years, they discovered that wasn't very popular, so they changed it. Why not, after all? The whole thing is just imaginary anyway, isn't it? But then, why should any of them care about abortion, for example? If fetuses are children, and all children automatically go to Heaven to live forever and ever and ever, Christians should be _promoting_ abortion as a universal good! Christian women should be trying to get pregnant just so they can abort the fetus, so that Jesus has lots more children in Heaven and lots more children can enjoy being there. According to their mythology, that would be a win/win. I just think it's funny that no one points out that this crazy guy is religious. Maybe that's redundant? Heh, heh. But no, I think that people just don't want to make the connection, because they want to think that _they're_ going to magic Disneyland after they die, too. And if you start pointing out how crazy religion is, where are you going to stop?

ISitOn MyArm how many times have you decided NOT to go because of the bill you get? I put off going to the Hosp when I had MRSA from an operation, and it almost cost me my life! Don’t worry, I still got the $30,000 bill. And I have health insurance! The premium each month is more than our mortgage! Eventually you have to decide if going to the doctor (and not having enough left for food and shelter) or leaving your 3 kids without a mother is better!
@@lorabetht9206 1. Jesus loves you! 2. Staying alive is better. 3. You could put up the children for adoption. 4. It may be be possible to stay alive, budget well, and and take care of the children. That would obviously be more ideal than saving money by dying or saving money by resorting to adoptions. 5. If you are experiencing high anxiety, counseling is an opinion. (I used to work with homeless people. Many of them had kids. Some received both counseling and psychiatric services. You could too). Change your perception. Read about grounding techniques. Count your blessings. 6. You say, "Don’t worry..." Your two wise words are good ones to take to heart. 7. Matthew 6:26-27 "Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?"
Fact is we have a rich country but that richness isn't being shared fairly. At very least, some of those riches should be used to fund healthcare for all. Some of us are more fortunate than others, some of us are born with better brains and better bodies. Those attributes alone give us an advantage. We should do our share to help the less fortunate even those are our only unearned attributes. Those born to riches should have an even larger burden. That's the kind of socialism I support.
That is how I plan to make America better than ever the Mr. Beast way or the Twinkle way - once I become a multimillionaire by being a voice actor and TH-cam personality, I will spend 75% of my wealth on healthcare for all and paying off national debt.

Never understood why the US doesn't look beyond it's shores to places where a privatised/social healthcare system works. I live in the UK and am thankful for the NHS, it's social and has it's limitations. Germany however, has fused social with regulated (NPO) insurance companies to create a system which, in my experience, works seamlessly. It's the only country I know of where a diagnosis can be made on one day and if an operation is required, one is on the operating table the next . . . . no bill! When I lived there I even had my insurance company pay for my gym membership because it was deemed that I was contributing to my good health and well being. It's a system that works, why not copy it?
In South Korea, We have universal Health Care. We had it for generations and It worked for us. If we can afford it, than the country with the biggest and most powerful economy can afford it too.
Yeah. But Koreans probably don't have the radical divide between the ultra-rich and the poor that the United States does. The American Rich don't want to pay for anything that might benefit other people.
유호형 yep, every first world country has it except the US
You dont understand they dont want health care for all because its a billion dollar industry and those who profit are funding Republicans and there agenda.
Hali Puppeh not only South Korea,also Algeria which is an African country also have universal Health care!!and don’t forget European countries also!!
In order for us to be able to destroy the world 50 times over,our great political leaders have made the choice.If health care for all were to be implemented,then our ability to destroy the world would diminish to only 25 times over.
What I find intrigueing is that your precious capitalism was saved by the socialist policies of the New deal during the depression
JT26blue Exactly!! Also there were “ bail outs” for dairy farmers and other farmers as well. There are news clips showing milk and other foods being dumped out on the ground and getting destroyed, while people were starving, in order to raise the prices of farm and dairy goods on the stock market. Why was their no outcry about that, but helping people NOT starve, through government assistance, is booed today?
Get out of here with your logic and facts! 🤬
Lets face it their history books and trump-onomics don't stretch back that far.
And the socialist military that they use as pawns in their illegitimate wars. And the socialist police fraternities that they pay lip service to.
Yep... I've been saying that for 40 years! Right-wing grifters fear the potential success of Nordic style socialiam which was created in part thanks to FDR's New Deals, because, they know if done properly, everyone will prefer it to greed-based capitalism alone, as they prefer Nordic Socialism in prosperous nations such as Canada, Denmark, Netherlands, etc.

Phil Robertson suggesting that universal healthcare goes against Christianity is mind boggling to me.
Yeah, as a Christian I believe that people should generally take care of each other, which sometimes seems closer to socialism (which forces people to share their wealth) vs capitalism (which makes it an option). I’m just not sure if it’s the government’s responsibility to take money from the rich and give it to the poor. But I think it’s important for the general public to get the care they need... especially those who don’t know Jesus yet ; )

@@carolsmith6777 Not to defend what is clearly myth, but the bible states that Cain and Abel were only two of many children. It also states that Cain took one of his nieces (one of his siblings daughters) with him. The myth places Adam at about 900 years old when he dies, with quite a large number of children, grand children great grandchildren, etc from over the years.
Oddly enough, not only did his children couple with their siblings, and with their older siblings children, grandchildren, etc - I suppose when you have a brother who's 600 years older than you, they have great grandchildren who are your age or older too - the bible and the apocrypha talk about the "people in the land" that lived adjacent to Adam. It talks about how Adam daughters were taking up with these outsiders, "the sons of men", and having offspring with them.
Kind of a weird myth that God created Adam and Eve, but meanwhile other people already lived nearby outside of the garden.

I then took a shower in the clean water provided by the municipal water utility. After that, I turned on the TV to one of the FCC regulated channels to see what the National Weather Service of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration determined the weather was going to be like using satellites designed, built, and launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. I watch this while eating my breakfast of US Department of Agriculture inspected food and taking the drugs which have been determined as safe by the Food and Drug Administration.
At the appropriate time as regulated by the US Congress, and kept accurate by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the US Naval Observatory, I get into my National Highway Traffic Safety Administration approved automobile and set out to work on the roads built by the local, state, and federal Departments of Transportation, possibly stopping to purchase additional fuel of a quality level determined by the Environmental Protection Agency, using legal tender issued by the Federal Reserve Bank. On the way out the door, I deposit any mail I have to be sent out via the US Postal Service and drop the kids off at the public school.
After work, I drive my NHTSA car back home, on DOT roads, to a house which has not burned down in my absence because of the state and local building codes and Fire Marshal's inspection, and which has not been plundered of all its valuables thanks to the local police department.

@tRumpet troll Killer It's Drumpf.
SANDERS / WARREN !!! . . . There's some confidence right there.
Here's the thing about pretending to be nice: done correctly, no one can tell you're pretending. Trump's first mistake? Saying he's trying to be nice because it immediately clues us in that he couldn't care less.
He just wants the cheers. He's really insecure.
But we knew that from the beginning.
And, besides "hey, this is me being nice" (which cancels it out), the only difference he displayed was...not yelling it. Said the same thing. Just quieter.
@@Dragon-le2dc He pick the wrong city for that. The city would rather have Ocasio-cortez to come than the President. If he wanted Cheers there Midland Odessa
Trump has admitted dumber things to the crowd of barking seals that will clap at anything. The most egregious being when he openly admitted that "Drain the swamp" is just a saying to stir up the crowd. Admitting this to a crowd of people, the people he's talking about, and they clapped at that. Clapped at being told that he only says "Drain the swamp" for the applause.
It's crazy, but Trump doesn't have to worry about showing his hand to these crowds because either they don't care, or if they break his bubble, he'll ignore them or have them removed by the crowd/security.

America get it through your thick head. Public health care, does not mean free health care. It is just not run for profit. The notion of letting corporations run health care is insane. They care for one and one thing only- profit. While in modern left leaning countries such as those in Western Europe, health care is ran by the government with the option to get extra coverage from the private companies.But in the end government steps in whenever the corporations cross the line. Like jack up prices for medicine and health care services.
Everybody gets sick, so everybody pays. Sure young healthy people pay for elder folks, but eventually they will get older and their health will decline, at which point they will get taken care of by younger people.
Amazing, isn't it, that such a simple process is unfathomable to some people.
while on the one hand public healthcare means more people will have affordable treatment, it is also true that the corporate run heathcare we have had in the U.S. has fostered a climate of competition and funded research for new treatments which would never have been able to happen if not for the massive amount of money the corporations stand to make by developing those new and better treatments.
@@Mouse_007 What it also means, unfortunately, is that healthcare is a for-profit system. And that means that insurance companies and many hospitals are run in such a way that poor to middle-income people will be denied preventative care, tests for rare but deadly diseases, coverage for catastrophic injury, prenatal health, etc. because it doesn't help the insurance company's stock price or their CEO's percentage. That's frankly sick. Even people like me, reasonably well-to-do, are screwed, because I make just enough annually to not qualify for subsidy, but not enough to afford the only (literally, only) ACA-compliant package available, which takes more than a quarter of my monthly income in premiums and an astronomical deductible. I would sure as hell rather give that money to a government-run healthcare exchange, where many Americans could receive better healthcare, than line the pockets of an insurance company bigwig.
@Dave Em farmacy companies still compete for providing the best products. They still make a ton of money. Just the burden of paying for that medicine is shared, it does not fall solely on the head of the consumer.
Oh no, niki you mentioned left leaning. Now they will think the entirety of western Europe is ran by satan.

Socialism. That thing in the UK where we have free to all healthcare (NHS) publicly funded transport routes, maternity pay, sick pay, holiday pay, workers rights. Free education.

We use socialism to fund the military and education. Defense, education, and health are all infinitely valuable and can't be trusted to for profit business. The stakes are too high in these three areas to allow profit to be the prime consideration and benefits us all equally. Cutting corners to save on costs has consequence no soldier, student, or patient deserves to deal with. Lowering quality while raising prices is unacceptable. The worlds healthy democracies are fiercely capitalistic but 20%-50% socialist. Look at our budget and do the math we are plenty socialist, only most of the money goes to multinational corporations.

Gee it’s so nice to know the economy is doing so well. I wonder why it is I as a middle class person am still working my ass off and getting no where, living paycheck to paycheck.
You are not middle-class. Like 99% of Americans, you are a pauper.
Maybe choose a different career? Life is always a struggle. You can’t look at political administrations to make your job easier? If they said everybody in the country gets a raise that would wreck the economy.
I’ve been a nurse for 32 years. Gee I could start at the bottom of some other profession instead.
The point made is: promises made by this current administration on how much better things would be for the middle class financially. The “trickle down” economics. Because those who extremely wealthy and received huge tax cuts would want to pass that on to “us”. And of course, that didn’t happen, did it? The “everyone is going to have the best healthcare ever”. Still waiting for that, with my 2 children, aged in their 20’s unable to afford healthcare, hoping they won’t get sick. This is what I’m referring to thanks.

Phil Robertson uses Christianity to justify not caring about people getting sick? The Bible has about a hundred mentions of people being healed or needing to be healed.

Are you saying Jesus is a Pinko Commie??
He's dedicated to the Republican Bible. It's got cherry-picked verses from the real Bible, but it leaves out all the stuff about helping the poor, being kind to others.. .That whole bit about Jesus casting the money changers from the Temple is gone, so are the commandments against adultery and bearing false witness... That thick book next to him is mostly just coloring pages, but they couldn't show that on TV.
@@MachiavellisThePrince From the perspective of these extreme right wing guys, he would be considered that yes.
He were all about sharing with the poor, demonstrated the benefit of sharing at the time when feeding all those had gathered with five bread and 2 fish - by having those who sat with hidden food coercing those to bring it out for sharing with all. And then said 'isn't this a miracle?'.
The verses the Republicans hate the most, are not even mentioned by them.
Quote: "Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." End quote.

No, it's because they make their money off of our backs. I would say that Robertson doesn't even fall into the category of people we should raise taxes on, the bracket would be set at a higher floor than his income. Either way, at our economic height we had a top marginal tax rate between 78% and 93%, and it worked, because business owners didn't want to pay taxes, they rather reinvest in their companies, that meant more employees, better pay and benefits, and more investment into infrastructure, which was the point of the tax, so they wouldn't horde all the money in off shore accounts, and it would circulate and keep economic stability. Do you get that?
@dans h
_using his so called religion for a cover up_
Of course, he's right. If Christians actually believed that nonsense, they'd agree with him. If death isn't the end, then _when_ you die is meaningless. You don't lose anything if you're going to live forever, anyway. You _certainly_ don't lose anything if you're going to a magic place that's better in every way than the Earth.
Indeed, if you actually believed that nonsense, you'd _cheer_ when children die, right? I mean, Christians are always telling me that children automatically go to Heaven, without risking Hell. So Christians should _want_ their children to die. They should be teaching their children to go play on the highway.
Of course, for centuries, churches told parents that unbaptized infants went to Hell. But after torturing parents for hundreds of years, they discovered that wasn't very popular, so they changed it. Why not, after all? The whole thing is just imaginary anyway, isn't it?
But then, why should any of them care about abortion, for example? If fetuses are children, and all children automatically go to Heaven to live forever and ever and ever, Christians should be _promoting_ abortion as a universal good! Christian women should be trying to get pregnant just so they can abort the fetus, so that Jesus has lots more children in Heaven and lots more children can enjoy being there. According to their mythology, that would be a win/win.
I just think it's funny that no one points out that this crazy guy is religious. Maybe that's redundant? Heh, heh. But no, I think that people just don't want to make the connection, because they want to think that _they're_ going to magic Disneyland after they die, too. And if you start pointing out how crazy religion is, where are you going to stop?

We should do our share to help the less fortunate even those are our only unearned attributes. Those born to riches should have an even larger burden. That's the kind of socialism I support.
That is how I plan to make America better than ever the Mr. Beast way or the Twinkle way - once I become a multimillionaire by being a voice actor and TH-cam personality, I will spend 75% of my wealth on healthcare for all and paying off national debt. Twinkle, the lead character of Higglytown Heroes, is a misunderstood genius who can almost instantly imagine magical, outside-the-box solutions to any problem. February 21, 2022, 11:12pm
Santa?? is that you? No, is Phil Robertson.
I love how he keeps saying "no one can believe" about things that literally millions of people know.
The broad conservative rhetoric describes anything that tempers the excesses of a market economy as socialism.
“People get sick In human form” 🤣🤣🤣 that was good
Never understood why the US doesn't look beyond it's shores to places where a privatised/social healthcare system works. I live in the UK and am thankful for the NHS, it's social and has it's limitations. Germany however, has fused social with regulated (NPO) insurance companies to create a system which, in my experience, works seamlessly.
It's the only country I know of where a diagnosis can be made on one day and if an operation is required, one is on the operating table the next . . . . no bill!
When I lived there I even had my insurance company pay for my gym membership because it was deemed that I was contributing to my good health and well being.
It's a system that works, why not copy it?
Money rules the US more than welfare in that cursed hellscape.
