I'm Rwandan, even though my country is one of the poorest in the world we have universal healthcare, Its called mutuelle de santé. Every citizen is required to pay a yearly fee, the amount depends on your income, from 20$ for the richest bracket, to 0 for the poorest. With the mutuelle you have access to all public hospitals and most private ones too(except the most expensive ones), when the bills come you only pay 20% the remaining 80% is payed by the mutuelle. It has completely changed how Rwandans use healthcare, we no longer have fundraiser to pay people's medical bill and 100% of women give birth in hospital compared to 20% before the mutuelle. If Rwanda can do it, the US most definitely can do it.

I'm Zambian. We also have Universal Healthcare. We had a system where government hospitals were heavily subsidized, reducing the costs substantially. The vast, VAST majority of our hospitals are government-run. And while with that comes the expected bureaucracy, most of the middle-class prefer it because private clinics/hospitals are clearly in it for the money. So it is not unheard of for them to prescribe an unnecessary procedure for the extra cost. Pain at 6 o'clock in the evening? That's an overnight stay for observation at $80 for you! The government facility will charge you $2. Last year, our parliament approved Universal Healthcare. 1% comes out of your gross pay and the employer pays another 1%. The government reroutes its subsidies to this new system to cover the remaining costs. Boom! All costs waived. That's what we have. It's unimaginable for me that if I get sick I'd worry about going bankrupt

Worst

As a child it was pounded into my head repeatedly that “the US has the greatest healthcare system in the world!” That’s why you’re hearing that. Americans are taught we are the greatest country in the world, therefore there's no need to look at what the lesser countries are doing. It could only be a step backward. This view is strong among Republicans, less among liberals. Those who profit from the US healthcare system are in control of setting prices with little/no oversight. And the vast majority of those who run it are ultra-rich businessmen with no medical experience at all. This system was developed by the Republican Party in a financial quid pro quo and they will fight to the death to preserve it. The only solution is to destroy the Republican Party and completely replace the system. But that won't happen until the US collapses into widespread abject poverty for decades. More likely we will have to transition through a Republican autocracy in which things get worse for decades. This is what almost happened following the last election.

The Americans that insist the U.S. healthcare system is the greatest in the world and decry a universal healthcare system as a "socialist" evil and call it "free stuff" are the same people who will immediately send you a link to donate to their mother's Go Fund Me page for her insane hospital bills, all without a single moment of self-reflection or realization of the disconnect between the two.

I have a trapped nerve and was referred for an MRI. I could have had it on the NHS but the pain is so intense I decided to go private so I could have it sooner. £199 to have it in 2 weeks rather than 4, which shows that the NHS waiting time isn't actually all that bad. I can see that even though I paid out of desperation to be seen quickly. Out of curiosity I compared things to the US prices and waiting times. $2600 is the average price and the waiting time is between 2 to 4 weeks. I am so happy to not be living in the US

In my country, the Netherlands, we have a compulsory health insurance of about 135 Euros per month, per person plus a maximum 380 payment for hospital care, per year.

I’ll never forget my introduction to the US healthcare system. My wife was switching jobs and got pregnant before she was eligible for benefits. I couldn’t add her to my policy either. 1st prenatal appointment was just a review of her health history and estimated due date= 1,700 dollars USD. 2nd prenatal appointment was the same as the first plus an ultrasound of the baby= 2,300 dollars USD. This was all in the first trimester before she hit 10 weeks of pregnancy. All I could do was laugh when I got the bills because there was absolutely no way we could pay those bills throughout the whole pregnancy. This was before we found out she was high risk. The only way to afford the pregnancy was for my wife to quit her job and for us to apply for Medicaid (not a proud moment but it beats bankruptcy). The bills were covered but it was obvious that the care was substandard moving forward. Our prenatal care was given to a resident physician who just became a doctor 2 years prior and halfway through her training.

I had pretty reasonable healthcare coverage, and then got Type 1 diabetes out of the blue at 36. (It happens.) Well, I got to pick up my first 3-month supply of insulin, and “that will be 2,000$ please.” My jaw dropped, and I was like… I don’t have that kind of money on me! Cut to two weeks of trying to figure out some way to get a set of insulin that I could afford, at least until my next paycheck, and finally I had enough for the $2k. And then finally my insurance kicked in and paid 100% of everything after that. But that was a pretty big up-front cost, and delayed my timely treatment by at least two weeks. Then Trump got elected, and I was all, “uh, yeah, I’m moving to Germany.” Didn’t even bother to refill my insulin the last time in the USA, just flew to Germany. My sister lives in the Netherlands, so I went to visit for Easter, and she took me by the emergency doctors and pharmacy to get me insulin. It was 200€. They were all, “you can take this receipt back to your German healthcare and get reimbursed” and I laughed at them. Here you are giving me 90% off, and telling me that I could get the rest reimbursed! Over the next few months, I kept buying needles and testing strips off prescription, because it was just like 20€, and I’m just like, that’s ridiculously cheap, but all the pharmacists would keep getting mad at me for paying out-of-pocket for something that I could get on prescription.

They believe every child no matter where they are born, their race, ethnicity, sexual preference, gender, religion, or background should be able to attend school from Kindergarten to 12th Grade. But they also said that education is not a human right or an american right, but freedom of speech is because it is assured to every american. Anyone who grew up during the red scare and many under the cold war _cannot_ process healthcare or education as a human right despite defining them as though they are rights. Also, Bernie isn't moderate by European standards. His voting record is but that is only because we have so few liberal policy proposals to vote on. He wants a Single-Payer Healthcare system (it would be the most liberal/progressive system IN THE WORLD,) to assure worker ownership in the company's they work for, and correct policies to match European countries. But he is a Democratic Socialist, the only thing he is missing is to publicly denounce Capitalism but that would be suicide since Capitalism is the most popular religion in the u.s. In Europe Democratic Socialists are more than moderately liberal, Bernie would fit in or go more to the left of the Labour Party in the U.K.

Through it all he had regular nurse visits at home, and they were on call 24/7. My mum had to give up her job to take care of him. Not only did it not cost anything, my dad received sick pay from the government through it all (not a government employee, its a program, we have), and my mum received 80% of her usual pay, coz she was granted a special leave of absence to care for her critically ill husband.

You need the premium insurance coverage because they cover 90% and you are liable for the 10%.

Coming at this from a UK perspective, I'm always baffled at how many times universal healthcare has been ignored, declined or otherwise shouted down in the US. 500,000 people a year going bankrupt for the crime of needing a doctor? It's madness. Our National Health Service really is the crown jewel of our public services over here; but people don't always give it the respect it deserves, especially the many staff from overseas who come and lend their services. It's been poorly funded for the last decade and I worry that as of 2021, during a chaotic and damaging Brexit, it will be slowly chopped up and sold off to American pharmaceutical corporations.

I’m sorry to break anyone’s hope but the more the people try to do anything about it, the more everyone else start ignoring us. The whole world already has a negative view in the us, even the US doesn’t trust themselves. So my best bet is that they will cut ties with America all together even if they have a good connection with them. Because who wants to be involved in this mess when no one will listen? Btw, don’t listen to what ever I said cause it’s just my view on this.

This video is actually terrifying! The worst thing is that politicians make Americans believe that healthcare for all is socialism and socialism is thought of as communism, you could see that during the recent Presidential election, even the Democratic primaries and they aren’t as extreme as the Republicans. Unfortunately private businesses that own the hospitals will keep lobbying politicians to keep healthcare private and things will not improve for Americans until someone is brave enough to buck the trend. It would actually work out cheaper to have better healthcare! As much as I love my American friends and colleagues, I’m sorry but, in my opinion (and I’m going to get well roasted here) I believe your gorgeous country has a very broken political and healthcare system.

Had a tetnis shot as well as being given treatment and a check up by a doctor. I also had 3 Post accident doctor check ups (for infection and redressing). Total cost: $0 (the ambulance fee was waived and didn't even go through Medicare) I have never applied for Medicare, I have never asked for it. But because I was a human in need, I didn't have to become endebted due to a once off accident. I had injuries that I was able to effectively tend to without the stress of ANY medical bills.

yeah, but because of brexit, things like insulin are now skyrocketing in prices. people who need it now have to travel outside of the uk to get it, or pay close to american prices for it.

@@_ikako_ According to the diabetes.org.uk website, 'if you use insulin or medicine to manage your diabetes you're entitled to free prescriptions, but if you're under 60 and living in England you must have a medical exemption certificate before you can claim them'. So it looks like it is free if you meet the eligible criteria for needing the prescription from your doctor.

It would be better just to split up the US according to faction as its continued existence is detrimental internationally and for most of its inhabitants. Now that the USSR has lost much of its power, the US is by far the biggest villain in the world.

The American medical system has been an excruciating traumatic experience all my life and I am writing about it. It Doesn't Pay to be the Zebra,- You'll Slip Through the Cracks. I want to donate my body to show how much long-suffering torture my medical caused since saving my life at 7

A self proclaimed "Christian nation" gouges customers when they need help the most. Yeah, that's what Jesus would do! LOL

​@@manicdgr Right, and I think that's what Donald meant. The people who (falsely) claim that this is a Christian nation tend to ignore the things that make it clearly not a Christian nation.

@@manicdgr Yeah, church and state are seperated yet we still swear on a bible in court and our politicians have to be devout christians or they will most likely not get elected. Our pledge of allegience clearly says, "One nation under god" and our money says, "In god we trust". We may not be an overtly christian nation but we are a nation deeply rooted in christian ideals and beliefs, while simultaneously acting in direct conflict to those same ideals and beliefs.

@@Yourunkbob I'm from Poland and I worked in the US for 2 years. Poles are considered to be very religious catholic nation (not me personally). Yet, I saw a huge difference in religiousness between Americans and Poles. It was hard for me to "name" the difference, but I think I made it. I see Americans as Pharisee-like christians: it's all about showing off and stating at every possible occasion how religious they are, but nothing more. In Poland, on the contrary, religion is like a habit, tradition: you have a child, baptize it, send for communion at the age of 9, attend Sunday mass without putting much thought into it, you say you believe in God only if you're asked.
