  • I nominate Mr. S. Khan for the President of United States.

  • I'll bet that the comment section is going to turn into pages of disingenuous political arguments.

    Good video, Sal.

  • The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act extends coverage to uninsured citizens by providing tax credits for middle-class households to buy a policy and by expanding Medicaid for low-income people. It establishes health insurance markets in every state to make it easier for individuals and small businesses to buy coverage. It disallows denial of coverage because of preexisting conditions. Republicans hate it because they hate anything that helps people and because Obama made it happen.

  • Many medical doctors have quit their practices because HMOs dictate how patients should be treated. HMOs have created a medical dictatorship with the sole purpose of making money and healing the patient is on the back burner.

  • Love your videos... but i guess i liked it more when you were the only one talking... I guess it's because i'm foreign and english is not my mother language... Keep up the good work, anyway!

  • Where is this video archived under in the Khan Academy website? I'd like to refer to it in the future. In the meantime, I've favorited this video on YouTube.

  • Yeah ... I am.. Canadian...

  • The last line Sal says is, "It makes a ton of sense." And it does, theoretically.

    My question is, how much profit are these insurance companies making? And if their profits are exorbitantly high, with patient care being overseen by management (HMO, PPO), could that money be better spent on patient care?

    A related question is: is patient care subsidiary to insurance company profit?

    This is not a political question, but a human[e] one.

  • as long as doctors getting paid well

  • @fufufuyen uhm netherlands,deutschland,austri­a,england,sweden and so on all have full covered health care for everbody.. i just dont get the academic amarican people are so blindsided and ask to me if we have healthcare and police and or we have fresh water and a wc and connection to the sewer lolz oyeah or we have electricity all our service in europe are so good you can only dream of in america and your technology state is 10 years behind ours and you think we are the farmers im tired of it

  • @TheRouterDotNet where do you live in the netherlands is it illegal to have nog insurance and if you cant pay one you get one of the goverment ???? so how can someone be uninsured ?????????

  • @Brendrizzle Most people who are uninsured are good, hard working people. They may not have the education you do, but that doesn't mean they should die like animals if something bad should happen to them.
