Are you people stupid or what? This is exactly how America's MONEY MONEY healthcare system works.

[v12tommy]

@TheAmericanCanadian I am all for reform to lower health insurance costs and removes preexisting conditions, but that is it. I don't care if people are uninsured...if that is an issue for them maybe they should get off their lazy butt and get a job. I don't see how me helping pay their healthcare bills is patriotic? I make more than enough money to pay for my own healthcare, yet I am still uninsured and I don't see an issue, so why should I have to pay for someone else?

@GutpileCharlie you literally quote that fake tard/ fake redneck and think anyone is going to take you seriously? You are as fake as the person you quote.

It is meant to be a joke, since the slant of the video is satrical in nature. It's not wrong to criticize socialized medicine, if that's what you're arguing. The rest of the world might look at America with awe, but when the talk of serious medical treatment is brought up, people come here to get it.

The government shouldn't be in the business of providing services that are not delineated in the constitution. The US healthcare system is socialized enough as it is.

[BasilFawlty4444]

@BasilFawlty4444 Mate, take a look at the tax bands. The basic rate for average income people (~£35,000) in the UK is 20%. In the US, families on a similar wage pay between 5% and 8% more or less; this hardly qualifies as an argument.

Granted, the UK has National Insurance, Council Tax and VAT, but the US has equivalents on a state level.

And no, the NHS is not FREE, just free at the point of use. The American govenment just spends the money on black projects and 5th generation fighters instead.

@BasilFawlty4444 It's not FREE when a huge percent of your pay goes to funding the system.

[BasilFawlty4444]

@whothaplaya My grandparents remember the year that the NHS was implemented. "An absolute jewel" were their words. People no longer suffering the humiliation of being unable to pay, or turning down treatment.

Today, we like to complain about the NHS. But we are British, and we complain about anything and everything. At the end of the day, I would never see the system go, and it makes me feel so lucky to have been born British. Maybe you would understand if you were:

[BasilFawlty4444]

@whothaplaya That's a very individualistic and right wing view of the world, very typical of America.

Remember, free healthcare also applies to you, your children, your parents and grandparents, etc etc.

Speakig from a country that has free healthcare, I have to say that the rest of the world looks at America in awe... as if you DON'T WANT a benevolent government system. What is with that? I honestly find it hard to understand why you listen to imberciles like Beck.

[BasilFawlty4444]

Is this a joke?

I mean do people in the US actually believe Glenn Beck's rants?

Surely this is a joke... please be a joke.

@whothaplaya Right, so because you might become unhealthy in the future, you have insurance.

And what of it for the people who can't afford insurance?

[whothaplaya]

@voidlam As of right now, yes insurance is a waste of money for me. You never know just because I am healthy now doesn't mean I will be a year from now. A completely open healthcare and insurance market will make the prices drop a lot and will be affordable for nearly everyone.
