  • The reason we don't get options like that in the US are because we offer more extensive service and larger verity. There are not many places in the world someone can go to get a finger regrown or some other complex medical procedure in fact a TON of people from socialist places r happy that the US is not a socialist health care system because it means they can get higher end treatment. Someone in japan can get average care of high quality but will lack in high quality specialty care in exchange

  • @NirvEnd I have no idea why you are explaining this to me. I have lived in the US with and without insurance and take monthly meds and the cost is insane for healthcare in the US. In Japan health insurance is a law, and the cost for my healthcare monthly was less than 1/4 the cost of the same treatment in the US. It is also "variety", not verity. It is not about Health care as much as about health insurance and not really something I am going to debate further with you.

  • 日本で住むことは大変だね、 by the way I love your channel,  :)

  • @stungunshock thank you!! ありがとう!

  • And also note, that it' wasn't just cause i was sick with the flu or anything. I had developed ecoli from eating bad meat (unknowingly) and my liver and kidneys were shutting down =/. My credit is getting eaten up by something I couldn't much help, and theres nothing more that I am able to do because of the system. People are generally against it I think cause its a big change, and they fear having to wait in lines. And us Americans have a tendency to blow things out of proportion.

  • @Kohai81 we dont wait in line for the dr. my dr visit lasts 5 minutes unless testing is required.

  • @ChrisNolandTV Owch you seem mad and a bit touchy. You asked in your own video for peoples opinions on the matter so I don't see why your upset. Also thanks for pointing out my typo four in the morning makes it difficult to proof read.

  • good man 

  • Chris i like all your videos ) you vry cool! i want have chat with you sweety:) i hope you too want have chat with me

  • you so sweety Chris =)

  • because the health care industry is a scam, motivated by profits and greed. The goal is actually to keep us sick, otherwise this multi billion dollar industry would go bust.

  • Nice video Chris. I also love the healthcare I receive here in Japan. It is really amazing. And to answer your question, I don't think we get what we deserve in America because free market capitalism is our religion. The healthcare system in America is set up as a market, whereas in Japan it is set up as a basic right for all people. I had an MRI that would have been 3000$ in America without health insurance in Japan and paid less than 200$! I wonder if there is medical tourism here?
