In US news and current events today, NowThis News hit the streets of New York to ask everyday Americans about the universal health care debate. A recent video featuring British people commenting on the health care system in America went viral, consider this video the answer. These people gave their thoughts on private healthcare vs public health care. Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, health insurance is more available in the U.S., but without a public health care or National health care system like the U.K. or Canada, many people in the U.S. will still be uninsured and at risk.

@@michelr8817 Stop lying. I know many people who moved from Europe to the US. And they all pay triple or quadruple the amount they used to pay in Europe. Yes, it isn't "free" but it's a lot cheaper. The main problem is, American hospitals are incredibly expensive. An ambulance ride which is "free" aka paid by your health insurance in Germany is €600 ($650). That same ride in the US is $2700. Giving birth is $10,000-$30,000 in the US. While in Germany it is €1500-€2000 ($1640-$2180) which again is "free" aka paid by your health insurance. Health expenditure per capita in the US is $10,586 (2018). Which makes it the most expensive healthcare system in the world. In Germany, which is the second most expensive healthcare system in the world, it's $5,986 (2018) per capita. And in "communist" France it's $4,965 (2018) per capita. Making it the fifth most expensive healthcare system in the world. Which is still less than half of what is spend in the US.

I support capitslism, but some areas require government intervention and need to be publicly managed. Healthcare and education are one of those areas. What kind of country do you live in when many people that get sick are stuck between avoiding treatment and possibly dying, or selling your house to take the treatment or possibly bankruptcy?

The younger people in this video do seem to be reasonably well educated on the matter and know that they aren’t getting the service that they should be entitled to. The older citizens however are very much set in their ways and can’t empathise with someone who is less fortunate. One of them said that everyone needs to look for well paying jobs with healthcare benefits but not everyone can have a job like that. Perhaps employers need to do more for their employees but the government should also be setting a higher standard.

The shock and disbelief they showed when I told them I'd not want to move to the US was actually really offensive.

With some Americans (thankfully a minority), I've discussed healthcare, eventually getting them to concede that, yes, public healthcare is actually cheaper, both overall and for them personally, and, yes, the results are as good or better, and still had them insist that the US system is better, because they "don't want to pay someone else's bill". In other words, they would rather pay more and get less, than risk helping someone they don't know. That's not even capitalism; capitalism is all about getting more for less. Like I said, though, this is a minority. Still shockingly many, though.

Here are some of them, though: - Stronger negotiation power in purchases of pharmaceuticals, costly equipment, and more. - Less bureaucracy. Insurance companies have a gigantic bureaucracy, designed to avoid covering treatments. Public healthcare simply covers what the doctor deems necessary. In other words: Unlike in private health care, there are no "death panels". - Earlier intervention. People don't delay going to the doctor with health issues. The earlier a serious issue is discovered, the less the treatment will cost. - No built in profiteering.

In her defense, compulsory social healthcare means you have to pay a monthly percentage of your wage, so the government would tell them that they have to pay (or tell them they can't not pay). What she doesn't get is that although she might not need it most of the time, she will be thankful for that one time she has a stroke or other medical emergency.

Michael Settles I’ve lived in both the UK and Australia, both countries have universal healthcare. I can tell you as someone who has experienced government healthcare firsthand that I am very grateful and pleased with the healthcare I have received. I have also never heard of a case where British Hospitals allow children to die when something can be done. The NHS is not perfect and waiting times are quite high but I would rather wait than die and to have access to MRI scans, consultation appointments and specialist appointments as well as operations for next to nothing is amazing. That’s not to say that you can’t go private, but to have a universal healthcare for a reasonably poorer family cannot be understated. Of course there’s pros and cons but in the UK and Australia, you can choose to go private or public, so you actually have more freedom than in the US, where you have to go private. People are dying in the US because they can’t afford healthcare, how is that acceptable? You guys need to do something about it because it’s frankly embarrassing.

Actually no, in the US its only meant to be making sure that no criminals and insane people get guns! Look at other countries, less killings, but almost as many guns around as in the states! In my country, germany, there is a strict gun regulation, but there are almost 6 million guns out there! You just need a need for it, if its being a hunter, sports or safety! As Taxidriver i could ask for a license, i have to learn the laws, make a test, get checked and then i can buy one, it costs money and i have to lock it up but i can carry it in my job! Btw i have a gun, a P99, but just the version that is allowed for everyone, a blank gun, as long as i only have it at home its allowed, when i want to carry it i need a so called small gun license, less restrictions and regulations but to fire it there has to be a danger for my life.

My daughter had a quadruple by-pass in Australia, which also has a national health service and it cost nothing either for the op or all the ongoing care. Just because there is no charge at the point of service doesn’t mean it’s free. We all pay a relevant tax, which is automatically taken from your pay. Just because there is no charge doesn’t mean people abuse the system. It means that if you are sick you can get all the help you need without worrying if you can afford it or if it will bankrupt you. Many medications are also subsidised by the government too, especially for people with chronic or life threatening illnesses. You get the help you need, which is decided on by your doctor/consultant, not what an insurance company decides they are prepared to pay for!

If it's free it's not worth it is true. And Socialized healthcare is far from free, it's far from cost effective, it's far from societally beneficial, it's far from being good in any way shape or form. Sure I don't think healthcare should be extremely costly either, but it's only extremely costly due to the massive conglomerate corporations who own the medication industry and health industry, and that's globally. Deal with those things before trying to destroy every good hospital out there by ruining them.

As an American I make a decent salary but I can’t retire early because I would not be able to afford health insurance so as long as I’m living here I need to continue working for employer sponsored health insurance. At least until Medicaid kicks in in my 60s. I want to have at least some years to work a job I want to work, not to have to work a certain kind of job because of the insurance tied to it. I know there is no perfect system, but I would much rather pay higher taxes than deal with the possibility of 6-9 figures of medical debt destroying an entire life’s worth of savings which happens to SO many Americans here. I’m 43 now; pray for me that I can move abroad (likely to Europe) one day.

Several years ago, I developed asthma, was at the highest level of medication, had problems in regulating my breathing, received a new therapy, which is a shot costing over €3,400/shot. In the first year 7 of them, then every two months, & over time reduced now to 3x a year, my cost €6.85/shot. I had an asthma attacks in Italy, was treated at an emergency room, paid even less for some meds, received no extra costs for the treatment in my home country. My wife had a double transplantation at one time, paid a little bit for the meals, that was it. We could not imagine what it would cost for her meds that she needs to live. No cost for our daughter's birth. One can always pay extra for private insurance, same as in Canada, and have both coverages. Unless one lives it, you will never know. I also have excellent doctors.

I was travelling and an American was talking to his friends about visas and wanting to prevent too many immigrants from taking over their system. He noticed I’d overheard and said “sorry, no offence.” I was confused and said “mate, I’m Australian. Why would I ever want to live in America?” He was completely baffled by my comment - didn’t take it as a joke and laugh it off or anything like that. He was just completely puzzled. A few days later, at the same hostel, he asked me what I’d meant. I explained about our Medicare system, our minimum wage (we call them penalty rates) system, compulsory superannuation, minimum leave entitlements and additional loading on holiday pay, preferential voting system, etc etc etc. What was curious is that he wasn’t mad or argumentative, just completely dumbfounded. His entire life he’d been brought up to think that everyone from around the world dreamed of living in America. He didn’t understand that the absolute majority of the West views the US as an experiment, not as a model. He had fallen for the lie that everybody craves what Americans have. Isn’t it genius? What a way to keep a population controlled while believing that they’re the freest. Giving them absolutely no dividends, and make them believe they’re grateful for it. An ingenious kind of prison.

And universal healthcare actually always covers you. Always. Unlike private healthcare.

Add in the fact that the government is usually too divided to make these decisions, leaving pretty much everything run by them vastly underfunded, and you have a recipe for disaster with the oven set at the Planck temperature for an eternity, with our congressmen at the dinner table.

That lady is also the one that said she was still for individual medical care when they compared the price of prescriptions in the UK and the US. Like she was proving a point 🤦🏻♀️🤣

I mean, in Russia we also have tax paid healthcare, and it's like... the worst, it is related to our government being so corrupt and incapable, they don't pay doctors enough, they don't provide hospitals with essentials, during this pandemic almost all hospitals reported of not having even surgical masks, and they are being opressed by the government because they report. But from an outside view, if someone wanted to create a narrative of Russia - bad, We - good, it could seem like "it's free, but it's not worth having" On the other hand seeing the US establishment politicians, I would expect that if suddenly they implemented a tax paid healthcare, it would go by the same path it went for Russia, and would be not worth being for free. In Russia we seriously don't go to hospital unless we are literally dying. Not because we are afraid of costs, but because we are afraid of not getting any help, or even requiring even more healthcare because of that healthcare
