      Also Australian here. Developed a Hernia a few years back. Spent about $200 AUD getting an Ultrasound to confirm it was a Hernia, but once it was confirmed, I was put in the public system and 6 months later surgery was done without paying a cent. Australia certainly has its problems, as does any country, but the Healthcare is one of the many reasons I wouldn't wanna live anywhere else.

      Well Ben is very smart actually . He’s able to fool his audience that the For profit privet healthcare system is good for Americans and universal healthcare is bad and so is having a welfare system that makes people lazy, but it’s a good idea for Americans to pay taxes and send it to Israel in billions of dollars. A country that has universal healthcare and half of its population on welfare. 😂

      That’s not honorable, that’s not humble.. I am not a fan of 99.999% of anything that comes out of Shapiro’s mouth and I think the greed that currently fuels capitalism is out of control and dangerous to the future of the world.. but this isn’t the way..
      If this many people care, then it’s time to get creative and organize.. not shoot ppl de@d in the streets.. it’s uncivilized and savage.. you can say what the healthcare industry does is also uncivilized, but at least they went through the proper channels to push their policy to lawmakers.. so then what’s stopping us? Members of Congress are our employees.. we tell them what to do.. and if we haven’t done so yet, then we’re neglecting our position as the bosses of our own damn country..

    Ben is so disingenuous. When he talks about the USA having the "best" health care care in the world, he's referencing the fact that the US has some of the best facilities, medical schools, doctors and care strategies available. What Ben leaves *out* is the fact that those elements are typically only made available to a small, very wealthy percentage of the US population who can pay for it out of pocket. The "best" health care means little if the majority of people are suffering and dying because they can't afford to access any of it.

    Canadian here. I had a foot fracture. It required 3 surgeries. One to put pins in, one to fix a clot, one to take pins out. I was in a cast for several months. Total cost to me, $12 for my crutches.
    I later found out the cost of all this because I sued due to the accident that caused it and because the hospital was involved in this for the medical coverage, they get a portion of the settlement. Their total cost was approximately $9500. I wager that is still far less than what a hospital in the US would have charged.

I tried to switch to a different insurance company and found out that none of the insurance companies will pay for my medication. They have set a letter instead suggesting three different medications all of which are hormonal, and I had hormone positive cancer. It's cheaper for them to prescribe me drugs that would kill me, then to pay for my drug, stay healthy and keep living.

      Canadian here. I was diagnosed with cancer 13 months ago. Direct out of pocket expenses for me probably amounted to less than $100 CDN, most of that being a lump sum I paid for parking since I'd be parking at the hospital frequently through Chemo and Radiation. Even the expensive injections to bring up my immune system (I forget all the technical words for that) didn't cost me-- though I had to do them myself. (and by myself, I mean my wife injected them in my tummy) There's added costs, like a dispensing fee on drugs (not much) and different food expenses as chemo really makes one change one's food preferences, so there's that. And lost wages, though chemo only knocked me down for about 8 to 10 days after each infusion, so I was able to work a bit through treatment. Being semi-retired and working part time, there was no sick and accident insurance. Now, we pay our premiums through our taxes, and i don't know how much that is, but I'm certain it's a good deal less than $1300 U.S. a month (!!!????). I don't mean to rub things in and as a fellow cancer survivor I know what a slog treatment is. I just want Americans to know Universal health care really does work for the patients. Is it perfect? Hell no. Is it even nearly as bad as certain private health care propagandists in the States make it out to be? No. Wait times? I went to Emerge on a Tuesday in early November last, had the tumour removed on the Saturday. I was home on the next Tuesday.(I might be off a day there plus or minus). Had to wait for oncology to confirm the tumour was cancerous. it was. Chemo and radiation started at the beginning of February, completed at the start of July. I have already started survielance, which included a CT scan back in August, and a colonoscopy last month. Again, I had to pay for parking, but other than that, no out of pocket, and both scheduled for my days off. Except I called in the day after the scope. The scope ain't bad, but the prep takes it out of me....

    Well, I live in "socialist" Norway, and the maximum you have to pay here is 270 dollars throughout the year IF you need to see a doctor (you pay per visit, about 15 dollars) and you need medication. After that the state pays everything. When I got acutely sick, I spent two days in hospital and paid nothing, and my medication for chronic disease is always completely free. This is paid through taxes. There is NO WAY the US system "is better". This Shapiro arse has no clue what he is talking about. (And yes, we have private health care for those who can afford it too.)

      The United States is a scam though, from top to bottom. If we did employ a public option, it would be so watered down as to be ineffectual (See the Affordable Care Act). It would be 10,000 pages long with 9,998 of those pages meant as carve outs to private healthcare industries. Even then, the Republican's would do everything they could to undermine and underfund it, then propagandize about it (like Ben is doing here) and then the private option would basically be the only one that would get any money at all. We'd have basically the same care with extra steps.
      The US does nothing without a profit incentive. Too much of our populace buys into the fantasy that they're five minutes away from being a millionaire themselves, and doesn't actually want to see any taxes because they don't want to pay them in the event they make it to the upper crust on delusions about meritocracy.

    The reason people with money in countries with universal healthcare spend more money on healthcare as income goes up when is usually to UPGRADE LEVELS OF COMFORT. It's to have things like a private room, unlimited access to a doctor, and to get quicker treatment, but the basics are COVERED, private healthcare in these cases simply adds.
    Sure, some systems are under too much pressure and have really long waiting lists, but so does the US.
    My mum in Spain went through two cancers through the public healthcare system and ahe had nothing but praise for every single professional that ever treated her, and she's fully cancer free.

When I became disabled and unable to work, LTD didn't kick in within 18 weeks. After months of not being able to pay my bills and pay for therapy and co-pays, I called Human Resources. She acted as if she thought I had to work for 18 months instead! Standard Insurance finally started to pay and should've until I turned 65.

(And later, 18:30, Shapiro says it is a "straight line" of spending among the nations, but if the graph was drawn to not mislead, it would be a steep curve upwards for the USA.)

Honestly it's not so much the graph itself in isolation that's a problem here, it's all the data buried behind the scenes, like how it seems to use mean average income which is *highly* distorted in the US due to income inequality, there's no mention of what "disposable income" is in this context or how it's calculated, and there's no mention of who pays the cost either. In Norway that proportional spending is mostly taxpayer funded, which means that the wealthier people are paying a higher proportion of the cost, whereas if you redid that graph to show US healthcare spending per capita based on income *within* the US it would show a lot of the spending is by the middle 3 quintiles while people at the bottom just don't get healthcare at all. The problem isn't just the US spending more per capita, it's that the wealthy people aren't the ones paying for it even though they're the supposed reason for that increased spending.

    2. The problem is not that insurance companies make money by betting on people not needing medical services. The problem is that they refuse to fulfill their part of the bet and the lenths that they go to not fulfill their part of the bet. They just delay and sue people until they are either dead or bankrupt.
    Here in Germany, i had a serious problem and spent almost 90 days in Hospital. The total amount was about 50k$. I did not pay 1 cent in the end. There wasnt even a discussion with my insurance company.
