let them have their rich spoiled hospital areas and doctors. the real cure comes for free, from doctors who work for passion to help people, not to earn money. that's why the rich are always sick, because their doctors purposely cure them with side effects so they would come to them more and more with tons of money.
So Beyonce and Jay-Z get their own suite in a hospital so they can fart out a baby.. But my boyfriend's grandfather who is a retired vet has to share a cramped hospital room with three other people, when he is terribly sick.
This scenario reminds me of an episode of Star Trek Voyager, "Critical Care" where the doc gets kidnapped by a hospital station facility where he's only allowed to give higher priority treatment of people of higher-class.
If you have the money, by all means get the full-floor suite. Don't get mad at the rich for enjoying being rich.
Get mad at the fucking retarded politicians (and people who vote for them) who would rather give them a tax cut than provide basic medical care for those who can't afford even a cot.
I went to the hospital and demanded a butler because I switched to straight talk and now have the - "demand anything and be an asshole because I am rich" - effect
Okay, I'm angry because the rich get pimped-out suites, it's just that their spending money on upgrading people who have great conditions when there are people who don't have the basic necessities. C'mon, everyone's lives are worth the same. Maybe we should tax the rich
I'm most worried about the same thing as Ben said at the end. I was just about to say that. I mean, if the hospitals start favouring the rich clients over the others.
why are you such a hater. Jay-z came from the fucking ghetto where statically speaking he would be lucky to even get a normal wage. He beat the odds and became a very rich and now he is doing what rich people with hundreds of millions do, spent it.
If your gonna hate, go hate the over privileged fucks that buy our politicians or become rich simply because their parents set them up, instead of the regular people that made it themselves.
@TheSokilla You made a great point there. And I take back wat ever i said abt Jayz. But i think the ppl who follow these celebrities to a level of worship are pathetic.
i love in the uk and i'm more than happy to be treated on a ward. very, very few patients need their own room, you can be watched over and cared for much more effectively on a ward.
@rrff7755 it may be free over there but, the down side is that there can be huge waiting time to get seen. Not to mention the overflow of immigrants that are flooding/breaking financially the system.
@TheSokilla errrr, i live here and i can safely say there's no 'overflow of immigrants'. also, you can see your doctor within a few days for non emergencies and on the day for emergencies, and they refer you to a consultant IMMEDIATELY if necessary. you only wait according to your need, not your wallet. ie if you're in ER and you have a twisted ankle, those having heart attacks are given priority. you're guarenteed to be seen in within 4 hours and it's free. amazing system and i love it.
If someone can afford excess like this then I don't have a problem with it. It's a good thing when wealthy people spend their money! So long as the "lower" classes of people are getting the same standard of care (very important!), I don't care if the patients who pay more get extravagantly decorated rooms and butlers.
Ben's "1408" reference fit so well with the flow of what he was saying about the Saudi king renting the 14th floor of the hospital, I didn't even notice it until I read the comments. And even then I thought "What, did he actually say 14 08?!" and rewatched that part just to be sure.
And that's another reason why I can't hate Ben. Yes, he acts like a jerk sometimes, but then we get stuff like this, or well-done political commentary, or his Glenn Beck parody...
This story, for some reason, reminds me if feudal times, where the division between the haves and have-nots was about as glaringly despicable. I just hope it won't take another dark ages/enlightenment/revolution to get people to wake to the fact that this is not the way mankind should be. Little be little, my dream of seeing world peace during my lifetime gets squished. :(
this makes sense, throw sick people on the streets due to lack of room.... so you can make extra room for rich assholes.
But its definitely best healthcare in the world, if you can afford the hospital suite with the private pool. A couple people might die due to lack of treatment, but gotta have a pool yo! Capitalism!
The rich have become something inhuman. The division between the rich and the poor has become so great that they're almost separate species. It's absolutely baffling how this injustice is happening without any perturbation throughout each party. I understand that they are rich and they (I state this weakly) "earned" their money but it's monstrous how they can live almost godly whilst other die from simple things. Perhaps I am influenced by bitterness but the rich have become gigantic twats.
OK if you have the money I get it, BUT you will not have a successful universal health care like this. IF a person wants to get extra luxuries in a universal system they can pay to have things at their home and pay to have a nurse and a doctor. Instead of taking a full floor for themselves. Just a thought.
You know, rich people have every right to do with their money what they will, but if you are going to get a suite at a hospital and have a butler then all you are is an asshole.
@fightforyourrights9 I went to the hospital and demanded a butler because I switched to straight talk and now have the - "demand anything and be an asshole because I am rich" - effect
Who cares if they are dong it with government money? it's immensely profitable. It brings money to the hospital to improve care for everyone. Not guilty.
first tax the rich second hospitals should only do this after they expand and have capacity for people so they don't need to share rooms wich will end up with more deathes and diseases
i dont make alot of money at all. but what i do make i try and give anything i have left over to people that need it more. my point is that if you have enough money to feed your family and put a roof over there head, maybe the right thing to do would be to help out the people that cant feed there family, instead of buying 6 ferraris and lavishing yourself. bottom line, do what you want with your money, but the best thing you can do with your money is help others.
They were bashing public healthcare then they put luxury suites in hosptitals. It's feudalism. Keep in mind that Jesus was born in a manger with animals, so he was worse off than a poor family.
I am in two minds; Maybe they are diverting resources from everybody else but no. Screw the rich for every cent they can. Unless they are turning the rest of us away or it is diverting resources or funds, then screw them. Get as much money from those cash cows.
@dangerouslytalented That would be fine, but if what Ben Mankiewicz is saying about the rich patients medical wellbeing being more important than the rest of the hospital's is true, then there's a serious problem.
in Hong Kong, the celebrities have this problem all the time worryin about leaked images to the media. A lot of shady media they pay the maids to go in to pretend to see them and care for them to take photos and sale it to them. Like for example like Indonesian or Philippine maids do this often for extra cash.
Don't see a problem with this. If they're using taxpayer money to provide the rich with these things, then OK; but if they're using their own money, then who cares?
i understand getting nice stuff when ur rich, but cmon. maybe rich people could use theyre money to help with national debt, give to charity, give to the people who need it. not waste it on stuff like this.
I see nothing wrong with this at all. If you have the money to spend on luxuries such as this, than you should have full legal right to spend it. ITS YOUR MONEY!! Let the rich spoil themselves, they can afford it. Who wouldn't want to be pampered and have everything they could imagine?
@602goliath Someone with some kind of humility? If you spend your money buying a whole floor of a hospital rather than helping others you're an asshole.
@602goliath And if you want to eat the poor you should be allowed to do so as well. Bugger those, because you pay less taxes, who can't even afford rudimentary health care. Butler please my designer vagina is hurting.
If rich people need a special suite in a Hospital they should just go to a different Hospital altogether, in a different country. On another planet. Fuck em!
Disagree. You should be able to use your money however the fuck you want, living like a king,perhaps, as long as it's legal. This video doesn't prove anything and even degrades the idea of the American dream.
@TheBigStupidHead If you start poor in America, you have the lowest chance of 'making it' of any Western country in the world. Three families have dominated your politics for generations.. which is slightly less than, say the Chinese leadership. The 'American dream' is exactly what it says on the tin.
The problem is that once medical facilities become a business then they become like private prisons who profit on the sick, not healing the sick, charging the sick for all they're desperate worth
Maybe the point is, that space/equipment is limited in a hospital, and if a few people hire whole wings for themselves, what happens when there's people needing urgent treatment, when the rooms are taken by butlers and body guards? Take them somewhere else.. which has done the same... on to somewhere else.. oh... they're dead. Never mind, they were poor schmucks, so no loss..
Think about it this way. What if there was a way to extend your life to 500 years, but it would cost millions of dollars. It's pretty fucked up weather they earned that money or not, the point is people don't need to be making billions of dollars, or even hundreds of millions, and if they do they should have significantly high tax rates so they can help out the country that helped them get so fucking rich. We need a socialized health care system I don't care how much you hate the word socialism.
"An increasing number of hospitals are creating luxury suites that include butlers, chefs creating gourmet cuisine and marble baths."
Isn't the aim of a hospital to save lives? So why are they spending money that could be saving lives, for those who already have comfy lives outside of the hospital in the first place? Socialism my azz!
@TurboDally The point is the hospitals are generating more money by renting the rooms to the rich than what the hospitals spend on making the room. As long as the hospital uses the revenue to improve patient care and medical technology I don't have a problem with it.
Wow. America is FUCKED up. I live in England where you get the hospital room depending on the extent of your illness and not how full your pockets are. Wake up America, you are getting fucked both ways.
@bemaniac2 Actually that's not true at all. England does have luxury hospital rooms also, even caviar is on the menu in some of them in the U.K. I'm not trying to hate on you or anything, but just do a little research before you spread misinformation.
@ChameleonLost88 We do not have luxury hospital rooms in NHS hospitals so my point remains correct. Maybe u mean in private hospitals but the point is if you need to care you get into the NHS regardless of what you earn.
@bemaniac2 look up "nhs hopsital is putting patients up in five-star hotel rooms" and that info is from U.K. sources. With content like "THE cash-strapped NHS is putting up patients in £265-a- night five-star hotel rooms". So the people that can afford it in England get that treatment just like rich people do in the U.S. Btw, you can get into American hospitals regardless of what you earn also.
Woah, patients in the US get their own hospital rooms? Now that I think about it, if my memory serves me correctly, patients using the free government health-care in England can also pay for private rooms. The only patients who get private rooms free are those with serious contagious illnesses. On reflection, US health-care is probably better than British health-care, if you can pay the extortionate costs. Americans pay roughly the same taxes as Brits, and yet no government health-care...
All the new maternity rooms in the hospitals here in Canada all have there own private wash rooms, with large soaker tubs. There's beds for the fathers, lots of seating for family, TV. Nursing staff at your whim 24 hrs a day, decent food(it is a hospital....lol) and we don't have to pay a thing. We pay our basic MSP bill every pay day, which is about $30.00 for a single person over 18. I can't imagine living without our health care system.
i work in a hospital, and while i see why most people would be upset like this, i think it could potentially be a good thing. if you have these suites for insanely wealthy people, then you can charge them insane amounts of money for it. then you can use that money to offset spending cuts, reduce the price of medical care for average people, hire more workers, give raises, etc. so i say they should charge rich people as much as possible in order to help out the non-rich people.
AHAHAHAHAHA thats a good one, as if the money won't go directly to the guy who invested in building those suits. The other classes can sleep on the floor.
@SerendipitousSky I totally agree the rich and no so rich should be able to spend their money as they please. What gives me chills is the fact that they are so disproportionnately rich, especially since they do not contribute to society.
You work and you make money, you don't work you don't make money. Once the working class realises the difference between the rich and everyone else then maybe one day they might stop supporting them.
@SerendipitousSky Sorry to break it you, but these are privately run hospitals so if they do get money from the rich the poor probably isn't going to see a cent of it in improvements to facilities, staffing and care because it's going to go to the owners of the hospitals.
@foofkanon why are u watching this if ur not an american, i always see u european faggots love to criticizes "america" why dont u care bout ur own country instead of others,
@xCleverlyx If you took the time to find out what the rest of the world is upto, You wouldn't seem such a twat. Plus if you keep out of the rest of the worlds business and we will keep out of yours.
@gssg9 Youre a moron, you dont even make sense and i do i keep out "worlds business" and i never read shit about europe but i see u brits always on american politics... pussy
To attempt a devil's advocate: Could a move like this raise more money for the facility itself? On another note: Could it be a sanctuary for high-profile patients to avoid paparazzi intrusion?
Eh, if people are willing to pay for the rooms, no big deal, but the hospital's main concern should be taking care of ALL their patients first and foremost. So long as the hospital can use the money they earn from these suites to provide better care and treatments for all patients, regardless of their financial status, not a problem. And, of course, we won't really know that unless these hospitals release their financial documents.
@damlurker Yeah you can do whatever you want to do, but the point is these suites shouldn't even exits so they can buy their own fucking hospital and make the suites if they want because they can do whatever the fuck they want.
@ZigZagzGoon hmm from what I can gather from your barely punctuated response (seriously, learn to use punctuation properly.. lulz), is that you want these hospitals to exclusively cater to higher-class clients?
lol maybe that's a good business plan but then again its the hospital's call.. since they can use whatever fucking business plan they want to.. :D
But typically having multiple tiers of service is a good idea..
@damlurker You misunderstood me. I'm saying they shouldn't base what room you get on how much money you have, but how sick you are. I may have made a few typos, but I used perfect grammar and punctuation. You on the other hand, did not. "lulz"
@damlurker Just because I pointed out it's not proper grammar doesn't mean I don't know what it means, and you're a fucking idiot for making that nonexistent connection.
The fucking disgusting thing is that you fucking disgusting Americans think a person is more valuable just because that person has a lot of money. This whole attitude that the poor are lazy people who have no one but themselves to blame for their poverty. It's so hypocritical! We all know that is just bullshit. So, at least have the courtesy to show you true disgusting nature! You really are a bunch of semi-psychopaths who despise the poor and the weak! Disgusting!
The reason there are rich people, is because there are lots of dumb people out there, like you guys, sometimes. The margins made on these luxury rooms are off the charts... so it makes sense.
I don't know how many times I have said this the last year... but I am SOOOO FUCKING glad I don't live in USA and I will never visit that disgusting country even if I would got a million dollars!!! Not even if I got the best job or met the most wonderful woman in the world! Not in a million years! USA is a stinking rotten dumpster, and I gladly let you rot in your own filth!
let them have their rich spoiled hospital areas and doctors. the real cure comes for free, from doctors who work for passion to help people, not to earn money. that's why the rich are always sick, because their doctors purposely cure them with side effects so they would come to them more and more with tons of money.

I see nothing wrong with this at all. If you have the money to spend on luxuries such as this, than you should have full legal right to spend it. ITS YOUR MONEY!! Let the rich spoil themselves, they can afford it. Who wouldn't want to be pampered and have everything they could imagine?

Maybe the point is, that space/equipment is limited in a hospital, and if a few people hire whole wings for themselves, what happens when there's people needing urgent treatment, when the rooms are taken by butlers and body guards? Take them somewhere else.. which has done the same... on to somewhere else.. oh... they're dead. Never mind, they were poor schmucks, so no loss..

Think about it this way. What if there was a way to extend your life to 500 years, but it would cost millions of dollars. It's pretty fucked up weather they earned that money or not, the point is people don't need to be making billions of dollars, or even hundreds of millions, and if they do they should have significantly high tax rates so they can help out the country that helped them get so fucking rich. We need a socialized health care system I don't care how much you hate the word socialism.

"An increasing number of hospitals are creating luxury suites that include butlers, chefs creating gourmet cuisine and marble baths."

@TurboDally The point is the hospitals are generating more money by renting the rooms to the rich than what the hospitals spend on making the room. As long as the hospital uses the revenue to improve patient care and medical technology I don't have a problem with it.

@ChameleonLost88 We do not have luxury hospital rooms in NHS hospitals so my point remains correct. Maybe u mean in private hospitals but the point is if you need to care you get into the NHS regardless of what you earn.

@bemaniac2 look up "nhs hopsital is putting patients up in five-star hotel rooms" and that info is from U.K. sources. With content like "THE cash-strapped NHS is putting up patients in £265-a- night five-star hotel rooms". So the people that can afford it in England get that treatment just like rich people do in the U.S. Btw, you can get into American hospitals regardless of what you earn also.

Woah, patients in the US get their own hospital rooms? Now that I think about it, if my memory serves me correctly, patients using the free government health-care in England can also pay for private rooms. The only patients who get private rooms free are those with serious contagious illnesses. On reflection, US health-care is probably better than British health-care, if you can pay the extortionate costs. Americans pay roughly the same taxes as Brits, and yet no government health-care...

All the new maternity rooms in the hospitals here in Canada all have there own private wash rooms, with large soaker tubs. There's beds for the fathers, lots of seating for family, TV. Nursing staff at your whim 24 hrs a day, decent food(it is a hospital....lol) and we don't have to pay a thing. We pay our basic MSP bill every pay day, which is about $30.00 for a single person over 18. I can't imagine living without our health care system.

i work in a hospital, and while i see why most people would be upset like this, i think it could potentially be a good thing. if you have these suites for insanely wealthy people, then you can charge them insane amounts of money for it. then you can use that money to offset spending cuts, reduce the price of medical care for average people, hire more workers, give raises, etc. so i say they should charge rich people as much as possible in order to help out the non-rich people.

@SerendipitousSky I totally agree the rich and no so rich should be able to spend their money as they please. What gives me chills is the fact that they are so disproportionnately rich, especially since they do not contribute to society.
You work and you make money, you don't work you don't make money. Once the working class realises the difference between the rich and everyone else then maybe one day they might stop supporting them.

@SerendipitousSky Sorry to break it you, but these are privately run hospitals so if they do get money from the rich the poor probably isn't going to see a cent of it in improvements to facilities, staffing and care because it's going to go to the owners of the hospitals.

Eh, if people are willing to pay for the rooms, no big deal, but the hospital's main concern should be taking care of ALL their patients first and foremost. So long as the hospital can use the money they earn from these suites to provide better care and treatments for all patients, regardless of their financial status, not a problem. And, of course, we won't really know that unless these hospitals release their financial documents.
