+Eduardo Blancarte It's not pure greed. It's supply and demand. If you want mega bucks, you have to exploit your fellow man based on wants and needs. That's why a lot of people choose to earn mediocre amounts of money, because they don't have the killer instinct. This guy is prepared for people to pay him money and live but also for people to not pay him and not live. That's economics which is based on the oldest principal of them all; survival of the fittest.
I was thinking the same thing dude. I watched it on news and when I heard the price I was like "Daaamn, wtf?! I better die from cancer and AIDS than poverty answer hunger".
Honestly everywhere anyone works you shouldnt release information especially to co-workers. Some companies would fire you. Mine did, I didn't think it was a big deal that I made $10.50 an hour I was the lowest wage employee there... But apparently employees that just got hired @ $9 an hr. Found out from another employee that I made more than they did even though they were on their probationary period. I was fired...
+Ivan Denisovich Shukhov Wtf are you talking about? We are probably the most morally inclined developed country in the world. America is the only country where billions of dollars are given to charities every year by citizens willing to help others. In Europe, they are morally detached, as they just let their government handle everything
+Insane 3842 While he's wrong and should say that "to be rich easy in America, one has to forget about morals and ethics (which can be applied to EVERY country in the world)", you're also wrong in giving that stpid blanket statement about every single European on the continent. Besides, one of the main reasons we give to charity through the government is to have some form of control on where the money goes. This backfires sometimes, but I don't trust most people to give to charities that aren't scams or end up in the pockets of African dictators.
+TheGreedyJew Brothers Sure buddy. That's why the 1% pay almost half the income tax. America is not a country of aristocrats and plutocrats, but of capitalism. This means that the wealth of individuals like Bill Gates is consumer funded
Every time I say something similar to what you are saying I get shut down immediately by "friends" and peers that give me the same old "well if you don't like how it is then leave and move to another country" talk. I'm starting to understand why the US budget only allocates 6% of its spending to education while *54%* goes to Military..
+KriscoartProductions K. Passive-aggressively call your friends uneducated because they don't want to hear your whiny bullshit everyone else knows about. Makes perfect sense.
+KriscoartProductions Alot of that supposed Military money isn't even going to the actual fucking Military, but to ISIS and their own pockets. They want dat oil man.
+KriscoartProductions tbh military is kinda useless, i'm going to sound like an asshole by saying this but most people in the military just do it for health benefits and free shit, why? because they know they wont be going to war any time soon... i mean if there was a war going on i would bet all my money that at least half the people in the military- in all units would fucking quit or give some bullshit excuse to leave, plus, we don't even need this much military, if all the other countries are "so much weaker" than why do we even need all this military... you wouldn't need to spend 54% if these fucking people milking military benefits weren't there
Thats not the argument... no one fucking cares about facts anymore. He made the drug completely free for people that actually needed it, the "price rise" was to keep interest in the drug so pharmaceuticals would continue to invest and develop the drug. It was actually helpful for the cause which is why years later no one hears shit about it... because everyone hyped about "Man raises aids medication 10000%" and didnt bother to look past headlines, Ethan included
@Roy Sunshine has not my friend, I told you I took time to make unbiased research and you still can't belive I don't have an agenda. You are exactly what's wrong with the public vs Martin
@@daltoncrow6486 yeah he fucked up. But he was not jailed over what he did to the price of Daraprim, despite all news article titles saying "Man who hiked aids meds up 5000% now in jail" So it only continues the misinformation, which is so funny. In fact the company that Martin was CEO of has kept the new raised price, interesting no one is attacking them with the same vigor.
+Josh Shearer As someone who lives in the UK, healthcare is getting much worse over here. The thing is it will ALWAYS be better than the USA, because it's FREE for everyone. The last few governments have REALLY made a mess of the NHS, but if there was a government in power that actually cared about it, it would be amazing. We used to have the best healthcare system on the planet, and it was free for everyone, even visitors to the country. It is a shame it's going down the toilet because scumbag governments wont give it enough funding.
flyiNg Yes, and US citizens pay taxes too. What I'm saying is that the US governments could and should use those taxes to benefit the population more effectively. When there are working members of the public unable to afford even basic healthcare then the system is utterly failing, and the population should ask for a more effective system of government for themselves.
+SlothDance Party - In Scotland our NHS is a completely separate thing from the English NHS and it's run better. We're hitting our targets of 94% of people treated in A&E within 4 hours. We're hitting targets on waiting times. I was diagnosed and treated for cancer within the space of 3 months - 5 weeks of daily radiotherapy, 5 sessions of chemo, 3 general anaesthetic procedures, an overnight stay in hospital and multiple MRI & CT scans. Also all of the pain/anti-sickness pills I needed - all at no upfront cost to me. Here we also have enough money to give everyone their prescriptions free (because our government chooses to spend their share of tax money on it, not because we get more money that we should - England could afford it too if the Tories wanted to do it). The English NHS is not in a mess because there's not enough funding, it's because the Tories want to get rid of it and replace it with Private healthcare (which of course is owned by them and their friends). Just look at what they're doing to the Junior doctors.
they dont. that was just how much he made through donations. he makes more through youtube ads and will have other revenue as well. you cant have several million subs and be poor. lost a bit of respect for the guy for giving a false impression.
i dont think he did, the 3k was from patreon and i thought he made it obvious. he's pretty transparent i think, going from pretty poor to post-vapenation boom is on the road to being set for life. i never knew how much it was... at least $400 p/m wtfff thats more than my rent.
Harv UK they haven't had millions of subs forever. I had to leave NY because it was too expenssive to live there without making at least $100k a year. Cigarettes cost $15 a pack rent is $1000+ I live in Houston and pay $525 for an apartment that would cost double in ny.
I moved to Germany and now I pay less than 100 euros a month for Healthcare, which also includes shit like dental and international health insurance (in case I get shot while visiting the US). God bless America
yes the upper class and i guess upper middle class have to pay a lot in taxes, and i agree that its unfair for them, but since most people are not in those categories , its best for most people to have the taxed funded health care . i cant imagine how a poor person making 10eur or less an hour would prefer spending 300 on health care in the end of the month, thatd be more than half of their salary specially if they have to pay bills, rent , student loans .
and germany doesnt have free heath care, the employer pays for half of it and in total wouldnt be more than 200eur a month. those high taxes are for other things
***** National Health Service. The UK state owned hospital service which is free at the point of delivery for UK citizens (I think Irish and Commonwealth citizens may also use it free at the point of delivery).
I meant an Irish citizen in the UK can use the NHS for free and a Brit in Ireland can use the HSE for free, we can vote in each others elections without being citizens. Just as we may enter each others nations without a passport.
"PAY a tax" to get "FREE" healthcare. What's the difference between what you guys do and what we do? Sounds like you guys just have a different name for it.
+mainHERO88 The main difference is that the hostpitals are not corporations with the primary purpose of generating profit over all else. I don't know about the UK, but in Canada , the canadian government spent less money PER PERSON on healthcare than the american government did. In 2014, the canadian government spent $3175 per person, and private costs per person were $673 on top of that. In 2014, the american government spent $4448 per person, and private costs per person were $3542 on top of that. Both of those were in USD
Australia is "broke" and "in debt"... okay "Australia's debt was estimated at 18.9% ($326.0 billion); much lower than most developed countries" (Department of Treasury, Budget Paper 17-18, 2018)
James Lagoon That's still like 4k+. Shit dude. That's a fuck ton of money to me. I guess that since we have the universal healthcare, education etc. withdrawn in the form of tax, that might be a reason. But again, I'm below the existence minimum of an income, so my case is pretty different from anyone who's able to work.
***** There's a lot more to consider. The sum of it all is that it's expensive as all fuck to live in the US for no reason. We get treated by doctors just as professionally over here in Europe at next to no cost, relatively speaking.
Get the hell out of New York! It's the most expensive place to live and it isn't even nice there. Any other state would be cheaper except Certain parts of California. NYC is the worst place to live
+Jak2bossbf3 A quick Google will tell you that New York City has the highest amount of Jewish people in the US. Just over 2 million people (around 11%) are Jewish in NYC. For contrast, Tel Aviv has 3.2 million Jewish people, which is around 42% of Israel's entire population. Just a guess, but maybe those figures factor into the decision to live there? Like you said, there are much cheaper places to live in the US, so maybe cost of living isn't as big a factor as there being a large Jewish community in NYC? Also, with 750,000 subscribers on one channel and 250,000 on another, living expenses shouldn't be an issue at all if videos are monetised.
+TPQ1980 One million views is about a thousand dollars, usually a bit less. Subscribers help, but views are where the money comes from. And he gets NO money from people with Adblock, so that subscription with Adblock is nearly worthless to him.

Meanwhile in canada. Hey dude heard you broke every bone in your body and was in the hospital for 2 years how much you have to pay? Idk dude like 5 bucks for parking ik its expensive asf
We don't have dental or vision care covered, nor are prescriptions. You'll get to know what's wrong with you, but when it comes to treatment you better have $$$
Just checked Patreon and it's at $3000.00 now. I remember on a stream a little while back where you guys were discussing Patreon rewards saying that $3000.00 was never going to happen so it wasn't even an option. That's pretty fuckin' sweet. Congrats guys.

He's been releasing some of it. He said he'd release it if Trump won the election, thinking there was no way Trump would win. At least he kind of, sort of, kept his word.
Vice actually talked to him and now I don't mind what he did. Basically he raised the price on corporations, and dropped it considerably on individuals.
It's sad how all these people who Ethan ripped on hard then comes on the podcast and he is all cool with them. Idk made me lose some respect for the guy. Just like Martin, Ethan is only about making money.
Healthcare in america is usually paid for by the huge company that you work for. If you dont bow down and work for some huge company and you want to work independently than you're fucked at every turn. I cant imagine it's a mistake that it's set up that way.

In norway it's totally free . Too bad you guys have so many rich and powerfull people in your country, americas is fucked up on capitalism. You shouldn't be so afraid of socialism in general, it's way better than hardcore capitalism.
+Ian Gleaves how can you know that when it hasnt been tested? Capitalism runs rampid in the USA - its insane. 1% of the population has 40% of ALL the wealth in the country. Its the american capitalism that will stop it from working. Not the number of people...
Ian Gleaves You would just have to divide the power into more branches. It's hard to implement socialism with so many rich people being against it though.
On health insurance, I live in Canada, make about the same amount as Ethan, and about $400-$600 of the taxes I pay every month go towards my healthcare. Sounds like we pay pretty close to the same for healthcare. But here's the kicker - my federal income taxes are actually slightly lower than Ethan's are, and my Provincial income taxes are only slightly higher. So, overall, Ethan is paying roughly the same amount of tax as I am, but then has to pay $750 for health insurance ON TOP OF THAT. It's actually insane. Then take a look at Sweden... I checked a while back to see if my taxes really would be higher in Sweden, since everyone seems to agree that the Swedes are being taxes through the nose. BUT it turns out that if everything about my life was equal, and the only difference was that if I lived in Sweden, I would be paying about the same income tax, and would be paying about $100 more per month in sales taxes (rough estimate). $100/month sounds huge, but I pay a minimum of $600/month to student debt. If I lived in Sweden, University would have been free, so I'd have $500/month more in my pocket. With that kind of money, I could have put a down payment on a house by now. "Higher" taxes are worth it for better universal services, IMO.
@Richard Davis i would honestly rather have that than go in debt from just getting a regular checkup and wanting to get an education. And if they're poor quality, you make regulations to MAKE them have good quality. I just don't think STAYING ALIVE should be a luxury for rich people.
@Richard Davis lasik eye surgery? What are you on about? Higher taxes doesn't mean that the government is interfering in everything. Higher taxes means OUR taxes fund things like the hospitals and colleges INSTEAD of relying the government. And "herbal" solutions for cancer have literally never worked, but i guess it is a good way to weed out the stupid people. If taxes funded the hospitals, people would be able to AFFORD treatment for cancer instead of having to be forced to try herbs and religious "healing" as a desperate attempt to save themselves.
Jordan The Wolf why should people who can afford healthcare be punished because of you. Its not their fault your poor. Its also not there fault that you got injured. And i you want to go to Canada 1 in 7 people will die on a waiting list. Have fun

"We trust you to regulate yourself" Unless it comes to: 1) Ownership and usage of a firearm 2) Management of your own finances in areas that include, but are not limited to, your healthcare and retirement 3) The consumption of substances including, but not limited to, alcohol (or beverages of a size we deem excessive, depending on where you live) 4) The operation of a vehicle etc, etc, etc "Oh man, I get to pay 10% of my income on top of being taxed 30%! You know what would be great? If I got taxed even more so I didn't have to think about healthcare myself! Even though I'm going to complain about having to pay for healthcare and being taxed if I don't have it!" Maybe, and I know this is a crazy thought, but maybe people just shouldn't be taxed for not having healthcare. But what do I know? I'm not big brother.
"Oh, then what does the government use a majority of my paycheck for?" Covering the doctor's visits and surgery you would otherwise have to pay for, plus all the other social services you'd have access to, that you wouldn't otherwise get. You have less money for luxuries, but the point is you'd have covered the necessities, and you presentably only have to pay yourself for food and rent.
@Richard Davis I don't understand your comment, I was merely pointing out that there's nothing free. No free food, no free clean water, no free air to breath, someone has to pay for it. Not always in straight out taxes, but in limitations to obey, like the industry must not pollute the water and air so we can have them drinkable and breathable. And those limitations come with a cost. Noone has their human rights for free neither, as someone must fight for them, and they either do it themselves, or someone _cough USA cough_ does it for them (usually in exchange for certain black liquids to export for dirt-cheap). So if anyone anywhere tells you about "free X" you can spit in their lying face.
Free health care can suck, expensive health care is well, expensive. I don't believe in extremes, there has to be a choice and an opportunity for everyone. But the balance is hard.
@@aliveslice Free health care does NOT exist. You pay for it from your taxes, Einstein. Even more so, if you're healthy you pay for others' healthcare.
So I looked into it, and it turns out this pharmaceutical guy isn't bad at all. He only charges the price hike to insurance companies and gives it for free to those without insurance. And he's running a loss too. The money he's making goes into research for a improved drug as the one he's pricehiking hasn't been changed since 1930. You get can get sicker from the drug, but no one cared to improve it as it's not profitable enough. This guy is alone in the struggle. Thanks for bashing him, not.
Dude you're high on something. The company that previously owned the patent for that medicine sold it for $13 dollars a pill and still made decent profits. Especially since they cost less than a dollar to make. And "research" is often what they claim the extra money goes to, but a majority of pharmaceutical companies spend their money on marketing and administration, with only 15%-20% of their budget going towards research. Not only that, but the research he claimed it was going towards was a "better" medication for the same ailment, despite the fact that the one he just hiked up works perfectly fine. Now, hes created a dilemma for those needing this medication, either having to spend thousands of dollars on another medication, or kicking the bucket.
He didn't buy a patent; Daraprim is what he bought, a medicine brand. Patents for medicine's from the early last century don't last this long. The patent is in public domain. He bought a medicine that has passed testing and FDA approval. If you start from scratch on a medicine you need to go through tonnes of test and costs first. Now the guy is redeveloping the drug into something new so he can take the old one of the market and replace it with a new one. No one has missed out on this medicine, not one. You cna even tweet to Martin if you want it for free when your insurer won't cover it. Aids medicine that are being redeveloped are priced near the thousands of dollars. Insurance companies spend tonnes more on marketing useless tablets that all do the same. This guy goesa against the grain and spends proportionately more on research than the other firms. And he's doing it. No one else was out there making the drug better. Don't ask him to cut the price down unless you're aware fo the damage this drug does versus his decision to give patients better options. The old medicine is only a lesser evil to what it cures. These price hikes happen all across markets and industries. From mobile cell phone plans to interests on your savings being cut. And the established industry top will try to squat people like this Martin fellow, which is the only reason he's being covered by media. Some higher-up pushed this into the spotlight and Martin isn't buckling.
Does anyone have a link to something showing people who need the medication he raised the price on not getting it since he did so? Just curious because I haven't heard a thing about it.
It’s so maddening that healthcare isn’t a right in the United States. I would be dead if I lived there. I was born in Canada and I’ve needed 13 operations throughout my lifetime
It has become a right, that's the problem. If you make money, they'll steal it to give to someone that is lazy. People that work cannot afford health care.
'Healthcare isn't free. So naive' funny how they don't know they're getting screwed and it is free because you could legit just reallocate taxes from their military spending to healthcare without having to raise it and give healthcare to everyone but no we're all just stupid naive liberals.
@@metalforever12085 "Fuck the people!" said both Tovarish Commie and Captain Capital while they were having anal sex, with each other and the rest of the World.
Nobody is saying he's a commie, he's just completely wrong about his American healthcare politics. He's a good guy, he just obviously doesn't know what he's talking about. Anyone who thinks universal healthcare isn't complete garbage, just doesn't know anything about healthcare. It is what it is. America will never have universal healthcare though, so the sooner people get that through their heads, the sooner we can stop wasting time telling people how stupid it is. We get it, people on the left have a serious problem with actually having to pay their own way through life, but that's the way it is. If you don't like it, go live in whatever terrible European country you'd like, or Canada.
@@unreconstructed Seriously, i live in germany and we also have a really great health care system. Everyone pays taxes so everyone can get quality health care and if you want to step up your game, you still can get privat health care. Those taxes doesn't affect you that hard as many people think. It's a good system. But i also can see how this system isn't really compatible with the american mindset. I envy your gun rights. Wish germany had it like that. Gun rights are human rights.
+Yellow Bellied Slider Sure there are high taxes, but it contributes to all our social programs, health care and infrastructure. You can't have those things unless you pay taxes. Personally I'd rather pay them and if anything unfortunate happens I won't have to fork out thousands of dollars in order to get proper treatment
No one gives a fuck about taxes the taxes go to things we all inevitably use regularly, and doctors and nurses are still living good because theyre government paid.
+Yellow Bellied Slider the thing is everybodys equal even u dont money you can still get good healthcare not like on US where if your ring finger and middle finger got cut off u need to choose which one to put back because u cannot afford both of them.
Being British it's seems insane to me that you have to pay for medical care. I know a lot of Americans are against it, but I can't understand what the argument against national healthcare could even be. The taxes we pay for healthcare are relative to income so no one really notices it coming out of their pay packet. You'd have to be very selfish to be against national healthcare I think. If I was rich I really wouldn't mind paying more taxes so others had the opportunity not to die
Katie God I wish that was the majority’s attitude here. Instead we get incessant chanting of “taxation is theft” and “why should I have to pay for somebody else” 🙃
+Sammied99 It's a mixed economy. Competition tends to make things always better for the consumer. Yeah, allowing imports of drugs from outside sources means the guys here don't have complete control of the market, and prices would fight and drop. The problem is the government doesn't like this. Why? I don't know, oh wait, probably because of the shit ton of bribes they take in pandering the the companies that would benefit a lack of that kinda competition. In America, companies have a right to address a grievance with the government. Unfortunately, that "grievance" is "we want more money" or "we want more power". Our government being the spoiled powermad brat that it is, eagerly gobbles up "campaign contributions" (bribes), and under the table benefits and gifts (bribes) and in doing so, essentially takes legislation and ideas for those companies, by those companies and tries to pass them simply to scratch eachother's backs. In short, if you have money, you can get the government to turn OUR system in to THEIR system.
I live in Texas and it's actually illegal for Tesla to have dealerships here (something about protecting their state economy). If they want to be at car shows, they're not even allowed to advertise their prices. And these rules are created by people in government that like to advocate a free market. We all know it's because they have another agenda (probably having received campaign contributions from oil industries) but it's so ridiculous how contradictory they can be!
Marisol Muniz Rules so an intimidating competitor will have difficulty entering our market, made by people who advocate a "free market". Sounds about right. They want a market free... of competition and new ideas. Likely "campaign contributions" happened, strings pulled, favors done. It's always the same: There's two sides, one being the objective, almost always selfish in nature and almost always arbitrarily benefiting one group over another. The other is the PR horseshit "reason". The Shit and the Smokescreen. Electric power is predominately coal powered with some variety. Gasoline/Petrol isn't needed so yeah, likely the oil industry isn't happy. As Tesla gets more and more popular, it won't matter. Texans will get what Texans want, just remember who passed that legislation and never forget who your enemies are. They will certainly hope you do.
Your struggles with health insurance are pretty much one of the same major factors that shaped my childhood & early adulthood. I got into a car accident when I was 10 years old, right before Bush became president. There was no Obamacare back then. So from age 10 all the way until I was 22 & got married, no health insurance would cover me because of my pre-existing conditions. It really amazed me how people & even children who are rejected by all health insurance companies really are treated as second class citizens by the doctors, the rest of the medical industry, & by even their own family. And I’m not the only person that I’ve seen this happen to. I’m convinced that there is a serious eugenics agenda by the fact that people are being denied health insurance, & I firmly think it’s one of the leading factors that tears family’s & communities apart. Thanks for the great work bro. Namaste.
+Travis Spalding It didn't used too, the conservative government is slowly privatizing the NHS so they care more about profit then care. The NHS used to be something I was incredibly proud of as a British person but conservatives cut the tax for the rich and reduce the funding for the NHS.
+Travis Spalding in the US your elderly will just be left to anyway die if they don't have the money. Just because the NHS exists it doesn't stop you from being able to purchase private healthcare. Also you're not making any sense. First of all the labour party are far from being a 'socialist movement' and you're accusing the 'socialist movement' of creating a problem by implementing right wing ideas.

Anybody who thinks socialized healthcare is such a great idea should come here to Canada, where it's a struggle to even find a doctor, and when you need to go to the hospital, you can sometimes wait for over 12 hours for a five minute appointment, depending on your condition. Granted, in the States, the healthcare system isn't any better, but all this to say our system isn't as great as you may think it is. I haven't had a routine doctor's appointment in about five years because I still haven't found a doctor ever since I've become a major (my old one was a pediatrist).
Had a family friend with frequent health problems who lived in Canada. Needed surgery ASAP and the quickest possible date was 6 months away. So now she has to come to the US every year to see a doctor, lol Canada's healthcare is a joke, only good for the poorest of the poor. Anybody in critical need gets fucked
In Australia we get around some of the high demand by subsidizing medical degrees. But even with that the wait list can be long and if you go to emergency room with something minor you'll be there a long time. I'm not even gonna go into high much it costs the government to maintain our medicare, who knows what happens when the country can no longer afford it.
For Americans, having everyone pay a little bit to fund healthcare for everyone is stupid but expecting everyone to pay over $700 a month for something that could not even benefit them is smart
I work in medical billing so maybe I can give some advice. One option is to forget buying insurance and find a doctor who's willing to discount their fee down to what they'd get if you had insurance (they usually use Medicare fees). Insurances have their own fees which are almost always less than the doctor's fees. So if you have a high deductible plan, you're paying the insurance fee to the doctor anyway. Might as well get rid of the insurance and then at least you won't have a monthly premium. Another option is to see if you guys qualify for Medicaid. Usually as long as you're making under or up to a certain amount per month (whatever the state considers low income) you might qualify. It's always worth checking. As far as the insurance tax, it's cheaper to pay it than pay a monthly insurance premium. My husband didn't have insurance for six months last year and I think the penalty was only around $70. Hope that info helps!
In American, every study shows that they get worse healthcare turn outs and pay twice as much per capita compared to Canada. I think we're doing pretty well in Canada.
Not only America. You want to be like Europe but I am poor, in Switzerland and pay 450$ a month.. please do not fall into the liberal mindset that it is way better here.
Fuck me i wish i was born in sweden or finland I live in aus and our government is almost as bad as america but we just dont learn about australian government here we learn about american for some reason Gotta love the school system :D
Bro don't hate on the Shkrel. He's making a point about the brokenness of the the healthcare system and also making money. He gave the drug away for free to anyone who couldn't afford it. Yet again, Ethan doesn't do any research.

lawl another republicuck that's only response to shit is "obama" yes, yes, ignore the fact that your insurance has been like this for DECADES. #braindead
Insurance is so expensive for many reasons that don't require fining young broke people trying to move up in life = Obamacare...it's also made the insurance companies even richer because it's illegal not to buy insurance! Of course this is unconstitutional but the funny "Justice" Roberts played a magic word game and called it a legal "tax" (even though the money goes to a private insurance company not gov!) despite the bill did not originate in the House as the Constitution provides all revenue raising bills = Roberts is an illiterate lying jackass
Jesus! Sometimes I forget how good we have it in Canada. I ate a weed brownie, passed out at a club, took an ambulance to the emergency to get looked over and find out I was just really baked. Had to pay $500 for the ambulance, and I was pissed about that. Guess now I could possibly get around to paying that ambulance bill someday. Thanks for the insight and perspective.
It's really cheap in Sweden too, like 20 dollars to visit the doctor and if you spend more than like 1-200 dollars in a year then you will get the rest of the treatment for free. The same system applies to the medicin. Im really glad that i don't live in the US, im enough stressed already because of the grim look of the future of the world. Stay safe people and unite!
you're right I live in Australia...and i got a surgery that was gonna cost 1.5k to 3k if i had to pay for it...because of Medicare (universal single payer healthcare)...it cost me $0...nothing...God bless Australia! Viva La socialist revolution!
I have always thought the same. It's very rare to find a millionaire with morals. People that make it are either held up by rich parents or are sociopaths that lack morals.
+Jack Orrill Pretty good actually. I got accepted into an AP Business Law class at my local community college as a sophomore although it's meant for seniors with the help of his videos.
+Posen411 well to have healthcare, you have to have doctors, who work. and working is also a horrible thought to most of those same people. The only reaon our healthcare is so expensive is because the people who do pay are footing the bill for illegals and the welfare leaches
***** agreed. Health insurance should be free market like anything else. Now every state has like one insurance provider so they can charge whatever the fuck they feel like

harry foster um the right to own a gun is, aka The Right to Bare Arms. the right to live is also guarunteed, aka the pursuit of LIFE, liberty, and happiness. you still need to buy a gun, and u still need to buy healthcare
Sharpie LEET you guys took me too literally. I basically meant I find it hilarious that those two things are on the same level and that Americans are hostile to state provided healthcare but love nothing more than their second amendment rights 😁
harry foster oh ok sry, i didnt know if you were 100% serious. but while i do support the 2nd ammendment, im not opposed to making healthcare more affordable, just for the record.
Sharpie LEET, you're getting confused about different rights treasured in the South -- although The Right to Bare Arms is something every overall- or wifebeater-wearer depends on, you're thinking of the The Right to Bear Arms.
One can't simply "move to New Zealand!" The government there has a 89.8% chance of actually letting you in (last time I checked) and stay and live there. That is if you aren't going to a university there!
AMOK I live in Scotland, tax is about £80 a month for me at most and I use the healthcare system quite a lot plus medication, also university is free (well included in your tax) so I'm getting to study engineering for free, not the worst deal in the world.
AMOK depends, the province of Ontario in Canada is the most in debt sub sovereign government in the world, apparently with twice the amount of debt as California. -Ontario pop is 13.5 mil. -California pop is 40 mil.
This is so right on. I hate the way we do taxes and income cut offs in this country. Yes, I make about $80,000 a year, but I am in NO way rich, I have a mortgage, I have psoriais which would cost about 4,000 a month without insurance, and if I have it, I'm totally clear. If I don't? It's miserable.. It's so frustrating that they put me in this braket. There is no middle class anymore.
Looking at the median and average incomes google is telling me exist in your country, 80k is very well off. Look at your situation, then imagine if your income was halved, or less. I see people in the US fighting for a $15 minimum wage. The national minimum is like 7.50. Holy shit, there's people. assuming they have full time work, on 15k a year. I get saying the system is shit, but you are rich compared to many people in your country, let alone the world. So don't say 80k isn't rich, because I can see it's amount others can only dream about.
Plus another thing that fucked up everything was America allowed non-citizens to invest in US real estate which inflated everything which doesn't relate to real wages for a working individual. So now the majority of people are ugly fat and toothless with children who are beyond ignorant.
Sigma Lowe Compared with many people, it is very well off. The median income tells me that it is indeed, big money. And, I highly doubt that "non-citizens" had much effect on the housing market at all. Do you mind explanation that?
Places with a good economy 80k aint shit because prices of everything are fucking insane. Now if you life in a simple small town place in America... well ok 80k is alot of money but guess what the economy is shit and its rare that an 80k position is available. Non-citizens/foreign investors surely did fuck up a lot of the home prices here in America. You might be to young to know about this but this has been going on for a while... pre 07/08 housing crisis. Look facts are facts and most countries without citizenship you cant buy real estate. Why? Because they know that this influx would fuck everything up. Heck I didn't even mention The Blackstone Group! The rope is getting tighter and tighter for the American youth and if you can't see this all around the US you are zombified.
The reason healthcare is the same price is because rich people's healtchare costs the same, unless of course they have a better plan. We don't scale health insurance like we do with taxes.

I'd never thought anyone was capable to reach this type of greed. Its almost unreal like something out of a movie.
+Eduardo Blancarte It's not pure greed. It's supply and demand. If you want mega bucks, you have to exploit your fellow man based on wants and needs. That's why a lot of people choose to earn mediocre amounts of money, because they don't have the killer instinct. This guy is prepared for people to pay him money and live but also for people to not pay him and not live. That's economics which is based on the oldest principal of them all; survival of the fittest.

Found out from another employee that I made more than they did even though they were on their probationary period. I was fired...

+Insane 3842 While he's wrong and should say that "to be rich easy in America, one has to forget about morals and ethics (which can be applied to EVERY country in the world)", you're also wrong in giving that stpid blanket statement about every single European on the continent. Besides, one of the main reasons we give to charity through the government is to have some form of control on where the money goes. This backfires sometimes, but I don't trust most people to give to charities that aren't scams or end up in the pockets of African dictators.

Healthcare in UK is so good compared to the USA
+Josh Shearer As someone who lives in the UK, healthcare is getting much worse over here. The thing is it will ALWAYS be better than the USA, because it's FREE for everyone.
The last few governments have REALLY made a mess of the NHS, but if there was a government in power that actually cared about it, it would be amazing.
We used to have the best healthcare system on the planet, and it was free for everyone, even visitors to the country. It is a shame it's going down the toilet because scumbag governments wont give it enough funding.
flyiNg
Yes, and US citizens pay taxes too. What I'm saying is that the US governments could and should use those taxes to benefit the population more effectively.
When there are working members of the public unable to afford even basic healthcare then the system is utterly failing, and the population should ask for a more effective system of government for themselves.
+Josh Shearer Belgium's even better, even if they're slowly ruining that too.,
+flyiNg Per Capita spending is far lower though.
+SlothDance Party - In Scotland our NHS is a completely separate thing from the English NHS and it's run better. We're hitting our targets of 94% of people treated in A&E within 4 hours. We're hitting targets on waiting times.
I was diagnosed and treated for cancer within the space of 3 months - 5 weeks of daily radiotherapy, 5 sessions of chemo, 3 general anaesthetic procedures, an overnight stay in hospital and multiple MRI & CT scans. Also all of the pain/anti-sickness pills I needed - all at no upfront cost to me.
Here we also have enough money to give everyone their prescriptions free (because our government chooses to spend their share of tax money on it, not because we get more money that we should - England could afford it too if the Tories wanted to do it).
The English NHS is not in a mess because there's not enough funding, it's because the Tories want to get rid of it and replace it with Private healthcare (which of course is owned by them and their friends). Just look at what they're doing to the Junior doctors.

I love the NHS. Sometimes I just jump down the stairs to break some bones and receive free health care, at the point of delivery.
yes the upper class and i guess upper middle class have to pay a lot in taxes, and i agree that its unfair for them, but since most people are not in those categories , its best for most people to have the taxed funded health care . i cant imagine how a poor person making 10eur or less an hour would prefer spending 300 on health care in the end of the month, thatd be more than half of their salary specially if they have to pay bills, rent , student loans .
and germany doesnt have free heath care, the employer pays for half of it and in total wouldnt be more than 200eur a month. those high taxes are for other things
***** National Health Service. The UK state owned hospital service which is free at the point of delivery for UK citizens (I think Irish and Commonwealth citizens may also use it free at the point of delivery).
Ronald Hapchwarae we have the HSE in Ireland, it has its flaws but I'd much rather have it than fork out waaaaay more money for insurance
I meant an Irish citizen in the UK can use the NHS for free and a Brit in Ireland can use the HSE for free, we can vote in each others elections without being citizens. Just as we may enter each others nations without a passport.
I'm glad I live in the UK. I'd rather pay tax to get free healthcare than pay $750 a month
"PAY a tax" to get "FREE" healthcare. What's the difference between what you guys do and what we do? Sounds like you guys just have a different name for it.
+mainHERO88
The main difference is that the hostpitals are not corporations with the primary purpose of generating profit over all else. I don't know about the UK, but in Canada , the canadian government spent less money PER PERSON on healthcare than the american government did. In 2014, the canadian government spent $3175 per person, and private costs per person were $673 on top of that. In 2014, the american government spent $4448 per person, and private costs per person were $3542 on top of that. Both of those were in USD

+Jak2bossbf3 A quick Google will tell you that New York City has the highest amount of Jewish people in the US. Just over 2 million people (around 11%) are Jewish in NYC. For contrast, Tel Aviv has 3.2 million Jewish people, which is around 42% of Israel's entire population. Just a guess, but maybe those figures factor into the decision to live there? Like you said, there are much cheaper places to live in the US, so maybe cost of living isn't as big a factor as there being a large Jewish community in NYC? Also, with 750,000 subscribers on one channel and 250,000 on another, living expenses shouldn't be an issue at all if videos are monetised.

On health insurance, I live in Canada, make about the same amount as Ethan, and about $400-$600 of the taxes I pay every month go towards my healthcare. Sounds like we pay pretty close to the same for healthcare. But here's the kicker - my federal income taxes are actually slightly lower than Ethan's are, and my Provincial income taxes are only slightly higher. So, overall, Ethan is paying roughly the same amount of tax as I am, but then has to pay $750 for health insurance ON TOP OF THAT. It's actually insane.
Then take a look at Sweden... I checked a while back to see if my taxes really would be higher in Sweden, since everyone seems to agree that the Swedes are being taxes through the nose. BUT it turns out that if everything about my life was equal, and the only difference was that if I lived in Sweden, I would be paying about the same income tax, and would be paying about $100 more per month in sales taxes (rough estimate). $100/month sounds huge, but I pay a minimum of $600/month to student debt. If I lived in Sweden, University would have been free, so I'd have $500/month more in my pocket. With that kind of money, I could have put a down payment on a house by now.
"Higher" taxes are worth it for better universal services, IMO.

@Richard Davis i would honestly rather have that than go in debt from just getting a regular checkup and wanting to get an education. And if they're poor quality, you make regulations to MAKE them have good quality.
I just don't think STAYING ALIVE should be a luxury for rich people.
@Richard Davis lasik eye surgery? What are you on about? Higher taxes doesn't mean that the government is interfering in everything. Higher taxes means OUR taxes fund things like the hospitals and colleges INSTEAD of relying the government. And "herbal" solutions for cancer have literally never worked, but i guess it is a good way to weed out the stupid people. If taxes funded the hospitals, people would be able to AFFORD treatment for cancer instead of having to be forced to try herbs and religious "healing" as a desperate attempt to save themselves.

One thing i love about living in europe. free health care
Same in Canada eh, sorry USA!!!
"free".
Oh, then what does the government use a majority of my paycheck for?
dude in europe we pay way more taxes its not free healthcare
"Free"
"Oh, then what does the government use a majority of my paycheck for?" Covering the doctor's visits and surgery you would otherwise have to pay for, plus all the other social services you'd have access to, that you wouldn't otherwise get. You have less money for luxuries, but the point is you'd have covered the necessities, and you presentably only have to pay yourself for food and rent.
Move to england or canada we have this magical thing called ''ｆｒｅｅ ｈｅａｌｔｈ ｃａｒｅ''
@Richard Davis I don't understand your comment, I was merely pointing out that there's nothing free. No free food, no free clean water, no free air to breath, someone has to pay for it. Not always in straight out taxes, but in limitations to obey, like the industry must not pollute the water and air so we can have them drinkable and breathable. And those limitations come with a cost. Noone has their human rights for free neither, as someone must fight for them, and they either do it themselves, or someone _cough USA cough_ does it for them (usually in exchange for certain black liquids to export for dirt-cheap). So if anyone anywhere tells you about "free X" you can spit in their lying face.

So I looked into it, and it turns out this pharmaceutical guy isn't bad at all. He only charges the price hike to insurance companies and gives it for free to those without insurance. And he's running a loss too. The money he's making goes into research for a improved drug as the one he's pricehiking hasn't been changed since 1930. You get can get sicker from the drug, but no one cared to improve it as it's not profitable enough. This guy is alone in the struggle. Thanks for bashing him, not.
Dude you're high on something. The company that previously owned the patent for that medicine sold it for $13 dollars a pill and still made decent profits. Especially since they cost less than a dollar to make. And "research" is often what they claim the extra money goes to, but a majority of pharmaceutical companies spend their money on marketing and administration, with only 15%-20% of their budget going towards research. Not only that, but the research he claimed it was going towards was a "better" medication for the same ailment, despite the fact that the one he just hiked up works perfectly fine. Now, hes created a dilemma for those needing this medication, either having to spend thousands of dollars on another medication, or kicking the bucket.
He didn't buy a patent; Daraprim is what he bought, a medicine brand. Patents for medicine's from the early last century don't last this long. The patent is in public domain. He bought a medicine that has passed testing and FDA approval. If you start from scratch on a medicine you need to go through tonnes of test and costs first. Now the guy is redeveloping the drug into something new so he can take the old one of the market and replace it with a new one. No one has missed out on this medicine, not one. You cna even tweet to Martin if you want it for free when your insurer won't cover it. Aids medicine that are being redeveloped are priced near the thousands of dollars. Insurance companies spend tonnes more on marketing useless tablets that all do the same. This guy goesa against the grain and spends proportionately more on research than the other firms. And he's doing it. No one else was out there making the drug better. Don't ask him to cut the price down unless you're aware fo the damage this drug does versus his decision to give patients better options. The old medicine is only a lesser evil to what it cures. These price hikes happen all across markets and industries. From mobile cell phone plans to interests on your savings being cut. And the established industry top will try to squat people like this Martin fellow, which is the only reason he's being covered by media. Some higher-up pushed this into the spotlight and Martin isn't buckling.
+Christian Bannister you may be interested in his interview on the Milo Yiannopoulos show.
Does anyone have a link to something showing people who need the medication he raised the price on not getting it since he did so? Just curious because I haven't heard a thing about it.
+Lars Oebeles hahahaa have you actually done research on Martin or the situation or did you just see it on this video and the news?

It has become a right, that's the problem. If you make money, they'll steal it to give to someone that is lazy. People that work cannot afford health care.
spraynpray People who are disabled, older, and children are not lazy. They should have every right to medical care in a modern society.
And the only way to accomplish that is to steal from people that can't afford their own medical insurance and raise the cost of health care by 200%?

Nova's Glow nice to know 👍

Being British it's seems insane to me that you have to pay for medical care. I know a lot of Americans are against it, but I can't understand what the argument against national healthcare could even be. The taxes we pay for healthcare are relative to income so no one really notices it coming out of their pay packet. You'd have to be very selfish to be against national healthcare I think. If I was rich I really wouldn't mind paying more taxes so others had the opportunity not to die
Katie God I wish that was the majority’s attitude here. Instead we get incessant chanting of “taxation is theft” and “why should I have to pay for somebody else” 🙃

People say America is a capitalistic society yet it's illegal to import competition such as drugs from a different country...
+Sammied99 It's a mixed economy. Competition tends to make things always better for the consumer.
Yeah, allowing imports of drugs from outside sources means the guys here don't have complete control of the market, and prices would fight and drop. The problem is the government doesn't like this. Why? I don't know, oh wait, probably because of the shit ton of bribes they take in pandering the the companies that would benefit a lack of that kinda competition. In America, companies have a right to address a grievance with the government. Unfortunately, that "grievance" is "we want more money" or "we want more power". Our government being the spoiled powermad brat that it is, eagerly gobbles up "campaign contributions" (bribes), and under the table benefits and gifts (bribes) and in doing so, essentially takes legislation and ideas for those companies, by those companies and tries to pass them simply to scratch eachother's backs. In short, if you have money, you can get the government to turn OUR system in to THEIR system.
I live in Texas and it's actually illegal for Tesla to have dealerships here (something about protecting their state economy). If they want to be at car shows, they're not even allowed to advertise their prices. And these rules are created by people in government that like to advocate a free market. We all know it's because they have another agenda (probably having received campaign contributions from oil industries) but it's so ridiculous how contradictory they can be!
Marisol Muniz
Rules so an intimidating competitor will have difficulty entering our market, made by people who advocate a "free market". Sounds about right. They want a market free... of competition and new ideas. Likely "campaign contributions" happened, strings pulled, favors done. It's always the same: There's two sides, one being the objective, almost always selfish in nature and almost always arbitrarily benefiting one group over another. The other is the PR horseshit "reason". The Shit and the Smokescreen.
Electric power is predominately coal powered with some variety. Gasoline/Petrol isn't needed so yeah, likely the oil industry isn't happy. As Tesla gets more and more popular, it won't matter. Texans will get what Texans want, just remember who passed that legislation and never forget who your enemies are. They will certainly hope you do.
Your struggles with health insurance are pretty much one of the same major factors that shaped my childhood & early adulthood. I got into a car accident when I was 10 years old, right before Bush became president. There was no Obamacare back then. So from age 10 all the way until I was 22 & got married, no health insurance would cover me because of my pre-existing conditions. It really amazed me how people & even children who are rejected by all health insurance companies really are treated as second class citizens by the doctors, the rest of the medical industry, & by even their own family. And I’m not the only person that I’ve seen this happen to. I’m convinced that there is a serious eugenics agenda by the fact that people are being denied health insurance, & I firmly think it’s one of the leading factors that tears family’s & communities apart. Thanks for the great work bro. Namaste.

Anybody who thinks socialized healthcare is such a great idea should come here to Canada, where it's a struggle to even find a doctor, and when you need to go to the hospital, you can sometimes wait for over 12 hours for a five minute appointment, depending on your condition.
Granted, in the States, the healthcare system isn't any better, but all this to say our system isn't as great as you may think it is. I haven't had a routine doctor's appointment in about five years because I still haven't found a doctor ever since I've become a major (my old one was a pediatrist).
Had a family friend with frequent health problems who lived in Canada. Needed surgery ASAP and the quickest possible date was 6 months away. So now she has to come to the US every year to see a doctor, lol Canada's healthcare is a joke, only good for the poorest of the poor. Anybody in critical need gets fucked
In Australia we get around some of the high demand by subsidizing medical degrees. But even with that the wait list can be long and if you go to emergency room with something minor you'll be there a long time. I'm not even gonna go into high much it costs the government to maintain our medicare, who knows what happens when the country can no longer afford it.
"where it's a struggle to even find a doctor," I walked down the street. The fuck is wrong with you son?
For Americans, having everyone pay a little bit to fund healthcare for everyone is stupid but expecting everyone to pay over $700 a month for something that could not even benefit them is smart
Preach. I'm so tired of Americans and their ideals of I PAY FOR ME AND FUCK EVERYONE ELSE.
You have nothing to lose but your chains.
6:47 this should be played on every TV...
Truer words have never been spoken.
I work in medical billing so maybe I can give some advice. One option is to forget buying insurance and find a doctor who's willing to discount their fee down to what they'd get if you had insurance (they usually use Medicare fees). Insurances have their own fees which are almost always less than the doctor's fees. So if you have a high deductible plan, you're paying the insurance fee to the doctor anyway. Might as well get rid of the insurance and then at least you won't have a monthly premium. Another option is to see if you guys qualify for Medicaid. Usually as long as you're making under or up to a certain amount per month (whatever the state considers low income) you might qualify. It's always worth checking. As far as the insurance tax, it's cheaper to pay it than pay a monthly insurance premium. My husband didn't have insurance for six months last year and I think the penalty was only around $70. Hope that info helps!

Insurance is so expensive for many reasons that don't require fining young broke people trying to move up in life = Obamacare...it's also made the insurance companies even richer because it's illegal not to buy insurance! Of course this is unconstitutional but the funny "Justice" Roberts played a magic word game and called it a legal "tax" (even though the money goes to a private insurance company not gov!) despite the bill did not originate in the House as the Constitution provides all revenue raising bills = Roberts is an illiterate lying jackass

I see people in the US fighting for a $15 minimum wage. The national minimum is like 7.50. Holy shit, there's people. assuming they have full time work, on 15k a year.
I get saying the system is shit, but you are rich compared to many people in your country, let alone the world. So don't say 80k isn't rich, because I can see it's amount others can only dream about.
Its true people think 80K is big money. Its not. Everything in the past 10 years has exploded in prices. The middle class is dead.
Plus another thing that fucked up everything was America allowed non-citizens to invest in US real estate which inflated everything which doesn't relate to real wages for a working individual. So now the majority of people are ugly fat and toothless with children who are beyond ignorant.

Compared with many people, it is very well off.
The median income tells me that it is indeed, big money.
And, I highly doubt that "non-citizens" had much effect on the housing market at all. Do you mind explanation that?
Places with a good economy 80k aint shit because prices of everything are fucking insane. Now if you life in a simple small town place in America... well ok 80k is alot of money but guess what the economy is shit and its rare that an 80k position is available. Non-citizens/foreign investors surely did fuck up a lot of the home prices here in America. You might be to young to know about this but this has been going on for a while... pre 07/08 housing crisis. Look facts are facts and most countries without citizenship you cant buy real estate. Why? Because they know that this influx would fuck everything up. Heck I didn't even mention The Blackstone Group! The rope is getting tighter and tighter for the American youth and if you can't see this all around the US you are zombified.
The reason healthcare is the same price is because rich people's healtchare costs the same, unless of course they have a better plan. We don't scale health insurance like we do with taxes.
