  • ....Even I felt insulted about what happened to Edgar Galvis.

  • 3:25 random biker fags.

  • why did i read canadian parents?

  • Hate the name you faggit

  • @drdrouchbag Thanks for the info you illiterate named, dr drouch bag.

  • What? How dare you suggest that men should receive equal rights as women? You misogynist asshole!

  • Fucking females think they can get everything, and then they change on a coin when something goes against them, and call it submissioned

  • I have cancer, and these things makes me pretty fuckin angry

  • no offence, but the n.h.s isn't perfect.

  • @dawiccaman He didn’t say it was. He just said it was better then getting throat cancer and getting screwed by your lawyers.

  • This is one of your best videos

  • good thing i live in england then

  • Your hair looks nic.

  • I live in a country with universal health care, but don't like it. There will always be those people who stuff their faces with garbage, not take any seeming care of their own health and bodies, who then develop things like heart disease and diabetes, that will have to be supported by the populace. Sorry, but I'll take care of my own health, they take care of theirs. If anything, don't cover preventable diseases or ones caused by stupidity, just for children with cancer and the like.

  • @Ftheebeep And there is nothing wrong with that. If you want to stay private you can stick with it universal healthcare isn't forced upon people.

  • Fucking lawyers

  • Universal health care system = Socialism

    Rewarding mediocrity = Failure

    ...

    We have too many deadbeats in America to allow a system like this to exist.

  • @williejenkins666

    And your brilliant plan for getting rid of these "deadbeats" is to let them die of things that are easily treatable?

    Never mind the fact that litterally 100's of 1000's of regular hard working people, who don't have insurance, will also die.

    No.. your right. It's their own fault for taking a minimum wage job just to feed their family. Those scumbags deserve to die.

    is it really a mystery why the rest of us view the US as uncivilized and unevolved?

  • @qwiksquirrel Actually, it is their own fault for taking a minimum wage job.

    This is the USA. We aren't forced to take jobs. Your life is what you make of it. You pay for health insurance if you want it, don't pay if you don't.

    Why make everyone pay for those who don't? That's what universal health care is.

    The rest of the world can fuck off. You have an ignorant view of your own country and I don't even pity you because you aren't worth pity. You're a moron.

  • @williejenkins666

    Your comment is contingent on the belief that the only reason that anyone could possibly be poor, is personal choice.

    If you truly believe that, you are more stupid than I imagined.

    Do you actually think that people choose to die from easily treatable diseases, if they they could simply choose to pay for the insurance that they can't afford?

    A society is measured by how it treats its weakest members.

    That has been true for 100's of years. And still is.

  • @qwiksquirrel Wow. You are certainly smug and don't know how to read.

    The poor do not choose to be poor but often their choices in life have led them to that path. You cannot choose to be poor or rich just by choosing.

    "A society is measured by how it treats its weakest members" is an empty catch phrase for bleeding hearts. The poor in the USA live like kings compared to the poor in 98% of the rest of the world.

    Heath care isn't a right when you rely on the labor of others to get it.

  • @williejenkins666

    Are you really that dense?

    Have you not realized that universal healthcare is cheaper. It is not a evil plot to steal your money, but a way to give better care to all while each pay less.

    We spend less per capita on healthcare, but still have:

    100% coverage.

    Lower child mortality rates.

    Higher life expectancy.

    Much lower rates of preventable deaths.

    Not to mention that people in the US are still dying from deseases that would only cost me a week in bed.

  • @qwiksquirrel universal healthcare is free in the uk, sure it means higher taxes but at least THOSE TAXES ARE USED FOR SOMETHING USEFUL, usually taxes go to the government people but at least some of it is used properly, in the us almost none of the taxes are used properly.

  • @doombybbr

    Indeed.

    Like us Scandinavians, you guys have realized that a society is only strong if it is united. Part of that means that some of my money goes to others. But on the whole, we each pay less than we would otherwise.

    At some point the US will have to realize this or they will parish.

    Especially considering the flaming train wreck that is their economy.

    But then again. They are inches away from hyperinflation, so it may already be too late.

  • @qwiksquirrel Problem is that an annoyingly large portion of the American population responds to that with: "RAWR! That sounds like some commie socialist bullshit! RAWR!"

  • @Alexc3217

    Indeed.

    Unfortunately, medical science has yet to find a cure for stupidity.

  • @qwiksquirrel And I'm sure the rest of the world coming to our burn centers and other care facilities (cancer and such) think we're "unevolved"?

    You have problems in your brain if you really think this way.

    Ever want to know why they do face transplants in France and not the USA? What do you think actually holds US medicine down? I'll give you one answer and it starts with a "GOV" and ends with a "ERNMENT".

    And you clowns want to give them 100% power? You are seriously stupid.

  • @williejenkins666 Socialism is Awesome. America sucks.

  • I live in those woods, TJ you better watch yoself

  • Wow

  • thats really fucked up. I pray for that man... NO ONE should EVER be denied treatment because of their gender..

  • Good thing I live in Canada because in Canada you get free health care well not really free we pay with taxes and for bills but if you broke you're arm there is no health bill.

  • @PsychoGirl300 I kno. you dont need to even talk about the money til after. USA care only about money. ''HEY I GOT CANCER'' ''GIMME MONEY OR GO DIE

  • @ian2008931 cows are girls, you would have to get a bull for that.

  • England FTW :)

  • If there's one thing that makes me proud to be British its our NHS.

  • I love being Canadian, we have free health care here, eh.

  • @TheCreamPuffz

    sort of, not if you have dental or eye problems. I lost a tooth when i was 8yrs old and its 1500 - 4g's to fix it (bridge or implant). And for some services it seems you need to pay fees. One guy i know was out $150 for his broken hand. Not sure what the charge was for though. Also i got to pay a couple hundred bucks every 2-4 years for glasses.

    Obviously its better then the US, but in reality its only partial coverage.

  • I'm gonna have to say that after watching numerous videos of yours, I agree with you most of the time. And in this video, I like your general idea but I have a few other thoughts which may back up those you deem as being wrong.

    If there's a program for breast cancer, there should also be a program for testicular cancer. But see, men have testicles... everybody has breasts. So that really wouldn't be fair either. I do think certain types of cancer deserve more funding and understanding.

  • @PyroGoth1

    Stupid comment box doesn't allow enough space for me.

    Secondly, the guy should have pressed for more money. You can't expect anybody to work for free. If you have lawyers spending time and effort on you (especially 10 years) they require payment. And after all that time, $10,000 seems reasonable. If I were ever to sue, I would sue a set amount for myself PLUS the costs of trial. I'm usually against government and it's system but I'm gonna have to side with the lawyers on this one.

  • @PyroGoth1 "But see, men have testicles... everybody has breasts. So that really wouldn't be fair either."

    Exactly. Imagine a guy having brain cancer and being denied for being a man. It's the same fucking thing, really. Women have a uterus, and they can get uterus cancer. But, here's no individual program for that, either.

    Imagine an institution for people with foot cancer who only treat women, because only 90% of women have foot cancer, it's still still sexist.

  • U go tj :D

  • Feels good to be British.

  • Dude I love your videos but your criticism of the P.I. lawyers is misguided. If he contracted cancer from cleaning up the M.L. building after 9/11...then liability on the part of M.L. was probably attenuated at best. Not to mention in personal injury cases the lawyers contract at the outset to take between 30 and 35 percent of the settlement (**while** agreeing to absorb all costs until a settlement, which can be fucking high)...point being, the lawyers prob didn't make shit either bro.

  • NHS is for ALL of the UK

  • I'm a Brit, the only time I ever see money or anything cash related in a hospital is when I use the vending machine.

  • SEXIST BITCHES

  • FUCK YOU, incredible atheist if I see you in the street I'll stab you in the neck, until you bleed to death... you fat fuck!!!

  • Healer - Hillsong

  • The AMAZING ATHIEST is a LOSER

    He looks like:

    1. He hates the world, because he couldn't get what he want in life, so he bitches online so he can try to look cool.

    2. Is a fat loser, probably couldn't get a date...how much more get laid without paying.

    3. My bet is, he never kissed a girl before. If he did, that girl must be mentally retarded or something.

    FUCK YOU AMAZING ATHIEST

  • @ian2008931 your comment is incredibly irrelevent towards anything he is talking about in this video. Who even gives the slightest FUCK about TJs sex life? and looking cool? he is giving his opinion on a article he found on the internet. and no he dosn't "hate the world" he just hates things about it like anyone else in this world.

  • Comment removed

  • @ian2008931 QQ some more, Thanks.

  • @ian2008931 LMFAO You're an idiot. He's engaged.

  • @ian2008931 You're trollin'

  • If you don't have money in the US you can't use whatever doctor you want, but, but, but, you can find treatment, just go to a facility that declares a goal of treating everyone. Then, sign the poverty sheet. In the UK, you can't use whatever doctor you want.

  • Banana Buttdevastation

  • The tale of one banana going up a guy's butt.

  • It's all about money, this proves it can drive someone not to care about other's lives.

  • @leeham991 Just wondering do you ever try to tell her how things actually are? My mom can be pretty stupid and explaining things to her is just pointless.

  • My mother is such a raging Americaphile that she states at every chance that her American counsin who is dying of skin cancer as I type this "Should have known better than to get substandard insurance"

    I should also note that she's a Mormon, thinks Kool-Aid is healthy and complains contrantly about the fact that most American packet food is banned in the UK for being full of indrdients listed by British law to be unfit for humans to eat.

  • I'm glad I live in the country with the oldes universal health care system of the world. *waves German flag*

    And I hope for the US that you will get universal health care soon so this kind of shit doesn't need to happen to thousands of people each year.

  • Canada.

  • i am jobless, i don't own a place, i am completeltly crazy, but i am french, and i live

    in france where i am taken care of.

    serves you right, you stupid american people!

  • The problem is people tend to think Universal Health Care is so perfect and will solve all the nations heathcare problems. It wont. It is a trade off, you get this and this but you also lose this and this. It really is a matter of opinion. balancedpolitics(dot)org/unive­rsal_health_care.htm is a webstie I found that gives both pros and cons of a free health care system. Everyone has their own opinion. There is never a fix all solution.

  • @JJAB91: Universal health care is not for free. XD We all pay a shitload of money for it depending on what we earn. The only people who get it for free are jobless people and children who are covered by their parents' health care.

    Even the countries where it is seemingly for free they still tax you the amount they need to uphold the system. The point of the whole thing is that everyone puts money into a big pot and everyone will get money from that pot if needed. ;)

  • @Trampadoo Yeah, but rich people can afford to see a doctor whenever they are concerned. It is a daily thing for a lot of Americans to just be sick and hope for the best because you have rent to pay or food to buy. We only go to the doctor if it is an absolute emergency, if we even recognize it as an emergency. The People who are rich can put in a lot more money and still be stable. They don't do any work that is harder than their plumber, landscaper, construction, or garbage man.

  • @cjhindma: I agree and that sucks and needs to be changed. The crass thing is that many of those very people who have such a big disadvantage in the US are the same people who are against universal health care because they are gullable and brainwashed to the point where they don't even dare to think about it because they think it equals socialism = communism = facism and rubbish like that. And they don't even get how happy private health care companies will be about them fucking themselves.

  • @cjhindma: The majority of people in any country does the hard jobs that are moderately payed and won't enable them to pay for the expensive, good healthcare and that is just plain wrong. And then those people don't even get the idea of universal healthcare and are so scared of being called a commie for supporting it that they play along.. I don't get it. Or system in Germany is not 100% perfect either, but at least everyone gets the gets help when needed.

  • @cjhindma: And the monthly fee you pay for it depends on what you earn so it is a sum everyone can afford. If you don't earn much you pay minimum fees (starting with some 150 Euros or so) while rich people will have to pay A LOT. Some people also voluntarily chose private insurance companies that tend to be less expensive (figure that *lol*) but those offer pretty much the same services.

  • Run for president and I promise I will vote for you, cuz ur fucking awesome!!

  • 0:38 I love when he says "I have no fuckin' clue." lol

  • FUCK the top commenters, i would gladly lose a kidney a a few fingers if i could move and live in America after that, Bet if you bitches were born in Somalia you change your opinion

  • @SunStrokeCactus mmmmmmmm sexxyy

  • I want your beard.

  • I got a great feel good story for you America: A woman in my town: Her husband left her. She had 3 small children. She got 3 jobs to make ends meet. All part-time, ergo, no insurance. The insurance lapsed from her ex-husband's job. One day she got an infection. The hospital would not treat her cause it wasn't an emergency. Charities ie. tax exempt Christian fucks (too bad she didn't come to me) didn't help her. She lost her eye. Yay! End of story. Who hasn't witnessed something like this?

  • Here's a good principle: you keep the money you earn and spend it on what you choose to. That means no looters!

  • Here's a good principle: you keep the money you earn and spend it on what you choose to. That means no looters!

  • fuck you america

  • I don't know where you get your information from,my friend,but the UK is a CUNT in regards to Medical Health...A bit like the States really...If you have the ready money,you walk on water,but if you are on Benefits or unable to find 'big money' to back up your illness,you are fiscally fucked...Don't believe the bullshit that the British Government feed the rest of the world...We are in a bigger shithole than you Americans are led to believe...:-(

  • @Dreddloxx Your government is full of lying cunts but you're off on this man. You don't have millions of bankruptcies declared every year over health care costs. You don't have people with things like tuberculosis roaming about. You don't have our infant mortality rate. Your system ain't nothing like the U.S. system. Don't worry, it will be: Free market capitalism and all that shit, Yeah, we going global! Besides aren't we supposed to hate people on benefits? Didn't Jesus say "fuck the poor"?

  • The USA clearly needs a universal health care system... it's not just because of horrible stories like these, but the government needs to realize that a country can do a lot better for itself when its citizens are healthy.

    Also, the breast cancer example discriminates based on gender, which is sexism. It's awful for everybody.

  • Oh and america is canada's ass

  • I'm canadian when people ask me about our health care I tell them it's great. they say fuck you, I break their arm, send to the hostital and fix'em up. Then kick'em in the nads.

  • americans. living for 200 years in their country and still fucking behave like settlers who want to keep their money all for themselves even if it is more useful giving a few dollars away for universal healthcare...so ridiculous.

  • @Samael16661 A few dollars?? Where exactly did you get that figure? My income would be taxed another 14%. You want to eat anything you want, get as fat as you wish, guzzle all the booze you can,do all the drugs you desire, have all the unprotected sex you crave, ride your crotch rocket without a helmet that's fine with me. Just don't suddenly scream "It's not my responsibility anymore" when your body gives out or explodes. A person's health is their own business not mine. PERIOD.

  • @tripleheshy Sigh...it's not that easy that all the people who get sick are assholes who live in lust and vice. There is no such thing as "you're responsible for yourself alone" in modern societies, TJ spoke about this in his Hate Week about individualists, only it works both ways round. and well like TJ says in this video it's more cost-effective and efficient to have a universal healthcare system. so basically that blab you're saying is rural settler mentality. that times gone. period. move on

  • @Samael16661  Yeah, this "rural settler mentality" as you so eloquently pointed out is what has made us great. Why else do we have the highest rate of immigration year after year? If you actually believe this guy TJ has even a cursory knowledge of economics then I guess you'll believe anything. This guy probably can't balance his checkbook. I wouldn't expect Europeans to know about being an individualist because they always need mommy there to catch them when they fall.

  • @tripleheshy now you're just blabbing right wing crap. and considering your last remark it's hilarious that the american president(s) come whining to europe about helping them in their war and finances. that's like a whole country not being able to be individualist. and becoming a great country - well that's disputable. and i'm not gonna discuss delicate matters like this with someone like you on the net who just talks his typical american ignorant uneducated crap. good day, sir.

  • @Samael16661

    "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy. It's only inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." Winston Churchill

  • @tripleheshy know why you MIGHT be taxed another 14%? because our current system is so shit that we need that 14% to take care of the people that our shitty system left in the dust! also, if we could raise taxes on the rich, i bet you that the amount you would have to pay would drop significantly. and guess what? the rich people we need to tax are the same people spewing the same shit youre spewing right now, "we arent willing to pay a few more percentage points higher!"

  • @MrYoukingtube Re-read my post only this time without your rose colored glasses. Some people should fall through the cracks, it helps thin the overpopulated herd. Helping the truly helpless is one thing helping the truly clueless is altogether different. I have no desire whatsoever of helping the latter. If you do then fine with me just don't demand that I go along with it because I don't and never will. Time to put down that copy of Das Kapital and join the real world my friend.

  • @tripleheshy placing in universal health care would help EVERYONE, yes this does mean those people you are talking about, who ARE people by the way, living breathing people, but it also means helping all of those people out there in the world who need help. there are people out there who cant get help right now who deserve it, and you dont want to pay to help them because you dont want to help all the OTHER people as well? youre as sickening as the governments who let stories like this happen.

  • @MrThiefykern The Kaiser Foundation Health Plan is a non-profit moron.

  • I fucking love 2:25 to 2:57 because the angry and enraged tone of your voice makes me feel very at peace with my own anger when people are being fucking morons. Sometimes I want to give a round of fuck-you's, lol.

    You're champ, TJ. Don't ever change. :)

  • Canada-3

  • If you live in America, the only way to go is through Kaiser Permanente, they are non-profit, and you can actually get healthcare through them. If you go through the for-profit healthcare insurance companies you will get screwed.

  • Oh how I love the NHS.

    UK ftw!

  • @kiy1999 wow. Just wow. I can't even begin to fathom what sort of method you used to pull up a reason like that. I dont hate America. Hell, I love em. But the reason you're giving makes no sense. Are you saying that the reason america has no universal health care is because you spend too much for your own LEISURE?!

    Please grow a brain before commenting again.

  • Comment removed

  • @kiy1999 stupidest reason ever. doesn't even make sense.

  • @kiy1999 Your comment is just ridiculous. We still have a lot of wealth in this country and can spread it around the world as well as have a good healthcare system here at home. Our country and the issues we face are very complex, and your simple and old fashion solution is the last approach to take.

  • When I had my massive stroke, I got perfect and correct healthcare. I am now retired on full pay due to my brain being rather fucked up.

    I am insured in "Norwegian citizenship". Its a very good insurence plan, where I pay 30% taxes and get free healthcare, university and what-have-you. You should try it, its awesome!

  • I'm ashamed to be An American, where at least I know my fee, and I wont forget those greedy fucks, who took all-of my mon-ey...

  • I know a close friend who lived in the UK. They felt sick one day, so they tried to get into the hospital. Due to the horrendous quality of care in universal care systems, she couldnt get in for 10 months. By the time she did, the cancer had spread. It was too late. In America (obviously our old system was broken, but fixable) this would never have happened. All systems have their horror stories.

  • Bikers in the background

  • This health care company is sexist but in times of economic drought they're penny pinching. Edgar should've understood how lawyers make money and determined before he decided to sue what he was getting himself into. Same with cleaning up ground zero. Noble that he decided to help out but without coverage or consideration with health risks he's not entitled to anything. Tax exemptions for charitable donations not compensation for the disregard of consideration for your own well-being. common c+I

  • If we had an equal rights amendment, discrimination against male breast cancer would be a federal offense.

  • im proud to be an american where at least i know im freee!!!!!!!!!!!1

  • Lol at 3:25, the biker's drove by thinking, "What the fuck's he yelling about?"

  • thank god i live in minnesota, free health care based on wealth!

  • thank god i live in minnesota

  • The NHS is awesome

  • You sir...are a moron...my family used to live in ireland but had to immigrate to the USA when my sister got diabetes...reason? because universal healthcare sounds awesome...but it sucks...why do you think the rich canadians come to the USA to find better health care..dumb ass...btw just because you shout and curse dose not make me think you are a man who knows what he's talking about.

  • we have universal healthcare here, but it doesn't matter because everyone is this country is addicted to drugs and can't form a complete thought, which is why a trained team of medical professionals misdiagnosed my grandfather with heart disease, waiting three more weeks to admit that they just sort of missed that brain tomber the size of a tennis ball pulsating in his head, leading to his death the next month. sure, we have free healthcare, but I've been misdiagnosed 17 times in 15 years.

  • same thing with genital warts

  • lmfao mormon ad before this

  • I live in the United States. My dad has brain cancer and I'm *SO* glad he was lucky enough to have decent health insurance. They're not covering his chemo (assholes), but at least the other expenses are covered... I feel so bad for other people who aren't covered. We need universal healthcare.

  • This shit sickens me.... I'm glad to be in a country with universal healthcare. No it's not perfect but this shit wouldn't ever happen. Nor should it!

  • @WellDoneQtip Indeed, I live in Sweden, and here we get pretty much any health care for free, except dental care, that shit's expensive. But if you like, break a leg, you just pop in the ICU, pay like 6 dollars for something or other, and then they patch you up. Same with surgery, you would NEVER have to pay for that. I mean, in some way you do pay, through taxes, but a small percentage of your salary every month is better than 10 000 dollars when something bad happens.

    Go Sweden, Fuck America

  • @3X73RM

    Fuck us only for the most part, there are still SOME good things about us, hard as it is to believe. But you're right, the Healthcare system is bullshit over here. WHY CAN'T I LIVE IN SWEDEN D:

  • @WellDoneQtip I live in america.I don't have healthcare and I have broken arms that never set right because i healed them from home.

  • He is 100% right the NHS is one of the best things to ever come out of the U.K. It is our pride and joy in a nation (lets be frank) that doesn't have much going for it at the moment.

  • @Laughingblades Ha! Pot and Kettle going on a bit there don't you think, there were over 73,000 refugees and asylees admitted into the U.S in 2010! You have just as many of the unskilled, that refuse to learn OUR language, burning the U.S flag, as we have burning the George Cross! What we loose paying to have a T.V we gain in free health care 24/7. And all this shash about outdated drugs and treatments....not so.

  • sexist program... great video... the end...

  • @JustinBieberVEVO

    FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

  • Why was there a mormon.org commercial before this video?

  • The problem here in England is the opposite; the NHS is too willing to offer treatments. People from the EU are perfectly able to hop over here, get free treatment, and then leave. The taxpayer, of course, foots this bill. The NHS are far, far overstretched as a result of this. Also, ridiculous shit like acupuncture, non-vital cosmetic surgery and IVF is paid for by the NHS, and again, we foot the bill.

    I think we're on two opposing extremes, and both systems have their flaws.

  • I'm from the UK and my mate went through the NHS when he got cancer. Didn't cost him a penny, was looked after really well and lives to tell the tale all these years later. Thank goodness we have state health care.

  • @MissNicoleAlysse why is it bullshit for? At least state some reason as to why you think universal healthcare is shit instead of saying "it would screw us up to no end". How in the world does it screw you over? Please explain.

  • I still think universal health care is bullshit. There are so many reasons why it sucks. Even though stories like this are disappointing in our health care I think if we switched to universal it would screw us up to no end.

  • @MissNicoleAlysse and how exactly? right now, its like if you're rich, lucky you, and if you're poor, the government says 'sorry, fuck you. go die now'

  • I can't get my own medical insurance b/c of my bipolar, anxiety, add, PCOS(polycycstic ovarian syndrome) and my lapband surgery to counteract the CONSTANT weight gain from the PCOS, b/c they're all "pre-existing conditions". yet the government won't give me disability. So I therefore cannot receive any medical insurance from ANYONE. Yes, thanks america!

  • Wow I'm glad I don't live in america

  • @Jack14112 you should be glad lol

  • @Jack14112 lucky you :/

  • @Jack14112 nice for you

  • @Jack14112 we're also glad you don't.

  • @plushcartoon yeah I'm just fine with my free education, health care and dental care.....
