@teacherphysics

"what kind of idiot call medicare and medicaid al most the same words"

I agree.

Imagine a parent calling their kids Caty and Katy and then having to call them "caty c" and "katy k".

[jstewart0420]

maybe you're just an idiot

[thealex12345]

It's a tremendous burden to require everyone to be insured. That's unneeded entitlement where drug companies make even more money at our taxpayer expense giving a hobo drugs. That's like giving ex-prisoners social security for life. Look people choose not to care about themselves that's a freedom. If they choose not to be insured the shouldn't be insured. If they visit the doctor all the time they should pay a lot for it.

[RuflessRecords]

Latest update from the Medicare disaster, which has 1 in 5 dollars go to waste and fraud...Lured by easier money and shorter prison sentences, Mafia figures and other violent criminals are increasingly moving into Medicare fraud and spilling blood over what was once a white-collar crime. Around the nation, federal investigators have been threatened, an informant's body was found riddled with bullets, and a woman was discovered dead in a pharmacy under investigation...

Medicare Part C means that a private insurance company can deny you coverage.

Medicare Advantage is a windfall for private insurance companies. It is a scam.

[hdilema]

Medicare Part C cannot decline you unless you have ESRD

[raxar74]

LOL...Medicare part C is a scam? My uncle joined 10 days before his knee replacement surgery and only paid $50 out of pocket. Had his gall bladder out...$50. Pays $10 at the doctor. Where is the scam? The hospital wanted over $1000 up front when his surgery was scheduled to cover the medicare copay. So where is the scam?

[BenkaiDebussy]

@raxar74 The people who say it is a scam don't understand how insurance works, and think that the people who are paying in and not receiving care are being "scammed."

Basically, they're incredibly stupid and it's not worth your time to argue with them.

[raxar74]

My uncle joined a medicare advantage plan 10 days before he had his knee replaced and only paid $50, before he joined the plan, the hospital wanted over $1000 up front to cover the copay under medicare. Also had Gall Bladder out and paid $50. So where is the scam???

[durante888]

Very well explained! The paper puppets are definetly a good learning device.

[finiallytalking]

Medicare is SO OVER and replaced with Obamacre/// Wait in line Grandma

[BigPostal]

Idiot ditto head. no ability to think for yourself just repeat what the fat man says on the radio.

[nezpercenathan]

Simple interpretation of this video: the people who made it, Humana, are pitching Part C, because they have an angle to make money off of it.

[irishpodcast]

In america the people on foodstamps and the illegal immigrants,who dont report any income get the best healthcare for free also known as medicaid.

Medicaid is much better than medicare .

In america the wealthy have there private insurance while the poor and illegal aliens have medicaid for free.

The people that suffer are the working classes caught in between.

They pay for medicaid for the poor whilst earning too much to be eligible for it themselves.

[pchy82]

Its NOT true,many students in college get foodstamps. Its a supplement to help all people in times of need, not just for the poor. Medicare is actually better than Medicaid because its made up of 25% of your tax deduct from pay-checks for those many yrs you worked & 75% from income tax/federal tax Gov. pay to you. When in need of expensive surgery,hospital stays,drugs,Medicare is WAY better.You're NOT stuck in the middle.Its the "BABY BLOMMERS" that will take ALL your tax dollars, not the poor.

[sjbiga]

very good assesment, spot on

[LilFiremaster]

now it makes a lot of sence thanx.

:]

[aesniper]

Why can't we just ditch HMOs and divert a sum of that wasted money to the government to pay for Universal Health Care?

The amount a person pays would vary depending on income, financial dependents, age, and health.

[3089280288]

The politicians have been bought out.

[danthebard]

its only this complex if you your poor

cripples

elderly and retards get everything done in a few hours

[CommonSense360]

Hey really cool video very well done very interesting i had no knowledge of how medicare works until i watched this video and now i feel well informed.

[livefreeanarchy]

anarchy

[gojonnygo5]

This video is not so objective.

[cqrads]

In Europe we don't need private insurance to see a doctor. We can go to public hospitals for free. After watching 'Sicko' I was disgusted with what I saw. What kind of country is the one that if you are dying or need surgery to save your life unless you have private health insurance they leave you on the street? And if you use your credit card you spend all your life repaying thousands of dollar? what is wrong with you? so great you think you are as a nation?pathetic!!

I agree 100%

[accityfolk]

Micheal Moore is a propagandist and you are an anti-freedom socialist. Central planning doesn't work, you feel for it.

[166beads]

yeah I watched it too and felt lucky that I have a country that will pay for when Im injured and not have to pay the rest of my life because my life was saved

[Bomber125]

But then again, nations like yours are outsourcing doctors to the U.S. and are having to wait in line for treatment from this socialized medicine.

I've talked to Canadians, it kinda sucks.

[EreinionEluchil]

Right now it's simply cheaper to die in the US. Human needs are in question, as is the right to have health care. It's a sad reality.

[fkusername12]

so its like the National Health Service.

[commanderxp90]

That's interested. :O

[amajacel]

i like your video its very unuseual

[KennTollens]

If your cold happens to be pneumonia it does.

[mylukie]

Really good video. Maybe you should point out that most eligible people have at least parts A and B. Part B is not free. It's $96.40 per month and automatically deducted from monthly social security income.

[BashfulHeartBear]

cool video

[BashfulHeartBear]

hi video

[noob995]

thanks up until now i didn't know the difference between medicaid and medicare

[christmanpunch]

Healthcare is bankrupting our country. Vote for politicians that will cut spending.

[socialdynamo]

In Canada, it's just free. Simple

[mzrealm]

Awesome animation!! :D

[ubentu]

Good information basic, bad company.

[chick7489]

this is cool!! haha i honestly don't care much about it but this is very creative and clever.. i'm sure it wasn't easy to do this whole cut out thing and what not!! it makes it a lot easier to understand and makes me actually want to sit here and watch. lol

[lodossheros]

i love videos like this.

[SHARProductionz]

boring to many types of these videos now.

[cpiratebee]

Thanks Humana for putting up this video and dropping me from your coverage!! Great company!

[BluePaintedChair]

2:47 what's drog?

[TrafficBumper]

Excellent, succinct illustration. Thanks

[cooldawg0904]

Run over by an elephant!! LOL

[grosquipue]

I heard a few times about medicare I was wondering what it was. Thank you for posting this...

[AmericanGatoona]

Thank God our healthcare is privatized. What Europeans don't get is that Americans who can't afford healthcare can actually apply for government aid in this sector, but it comes with some ties, as we are taught from a young age; nothing is free in this world, you have to work for it. Let me just say this, to all the snobbish Europeans who think they are so well off; with nationalized healthcare, comes with it more sick people in hospitals. You'll know what I mean by that. Placebos anyone?

[chuckNorrisaaaaa]

American hospitals on average have a longer waiting time. Americans per capita, have more illnesses and sustain more medical problems per year than any country in europe. Americans on average pay significantly more fees than europeans or any socialized country does. And all this is cited from World health organizations and Johns Hopkins school of medicine studies.

So, when you tell me that nothing in this world is free we should work for it, excuse me for assuming you are an inbred hick.

[olesto]

Americans think socialism is communism

[accityfolk]

It essentially is.

[CyberCilypudi]

The American Medical Association was opposed to Medicare when it was first proposed because they didn't want the government involved with their practice. But when they found out they could charge 500% more to Medicare for the same services, they loved it. And noone paid much attention to where all the money was going. This is the main reason healthcare cost have skyrocketed through the roof. Government interference. Socialized medicine will be an enslaving disaster.

[ultimoapex]

Chucknorissa is right. is Canada we get you A,B,C,D for free and dont have to be 90 and missing a leg. Health isnt a product like oil its a case where capitalism doesnt work and the US cant figure it out. In 50 yrs when the US does have universal care and gets over their socialist phobias they'll be disgusted by how many dying people were screwed out of easy care by CEO's who wanted a better profit margin.

[chuckNorrisaaaaa]

Exactly.

[hellofromebaums]

Medicare is rubbish. I don't see why I should be forced to pay into this system when I'm going to kill myself before 65 anyway.

[Punkette151617]

nice visual. ;-)

[marshallnn]

having a cold makes you go to the doctor? unlikely

[opinion56]

agreed. Its a waste of money to see a doctor just for a cold, a big waste

[spurlockz01]

Uh...did you watch the video its for seniors who gettting a cold is a much bigger deal than for younger people.

[HEH28]

if you are 65 and catch a cold it could be life threatening, especially if you have other problems.

[chichika123]

if your old and more likely for it to get worse yes

[noob995]

i guess, unless it turns out to be bird flu or something

[brenkthx]

colds can be serious for seniors aged 65+

[amnesiai]

when you are over 65, likely.

[Anonymous2735]

oooaki

[BigLouCMD]

very cool

[julsnettwo]

first

[elfinal7]

asd

[MstrShannon]

Thanks, this really helped!

[MstrShannon]

I solve the solution to our problems on my channel

[scarcarnage]

This is how everything should be explained. The financial crisis, the economic downturn, politics, and anything else important.

[DarkEpyon123]

scarcarnage, that would be a cool thing if they did that for something like politics, since it is a constant, and regular thing, but for something like the financial crisis and the economic downturn, not only would it take possible hours to explain, but since it is always changing every second, it would almost be impossible to make a concrete explanation of it, and also, there are just too many conflicting views on why these problems are here and how they should be solved.

[TheGiantRobot]

Yeah, like programming VCR and DVD players.

[scarcarnage]

Thanks for the education

[chuckNorrisaaaaa]

lol all that and at the end, it's sponsored by a publicly traded company. american health care is a joke. years from now, you will look back and realize the injustices being done unto you. and why? because this is AMURRIKKA! we are the best and thus we shouldn't question things. if you do, you'll be soooooorrrryyy! lolz.

effing pathetic. wake up, you fools. DO SOMETHING.

[Joey2Tube]
