The real way the American Health Insurance system works!!

*SPREAD THIS VIDEO TO OTHERS*

A video showing how "Good" our health care system is, so say the republicans and some democratics who want to kill health care reform in this country. "Health care reform will ration our health and we will only be able to go to the doctors that government officals tell us to go and wait years for an operation"

Pfft!!! wake up people and open your eyes, what do you call what we have now with private HMO's? And what about medicare, medicaid, VA.... i guess we should take that all out too since its run by the government, hell we should privatize our fire department and police department too while we are at it. WAKE UP, and educate yourselves!!!!!

@capcom1 Well first off that shows the benefit of a free market. Yet I digress and will explain why it's so high. 80% of the cost of medicine comes from things like heart attacks, strokes and cancer. We double all of these countries in terms of obesity. So naturally we pay twice as much. Also requirements to be a doctor and cost of drugs due to the FDA are much tougher boosting cost. Yet we still have the fewest lines, most new drugs and highest survival rates for many problems.

@capcom1 Well first off that's due to coops which keep cost of health insurance down and also allow people to shop around. Also regarding medical debt perhaps the system that causes the high cost needs to be looked at. I can't buy a drug unless it takes a decade to be approved. Can't get a doctor who's slightly less qualified, but would easily pass in another country. Also I'm stuck with an extremely regulated health insurance industry.

@capcom1 Healthcare is the most regulated industry in the US. It's hell to open a health insurance company and than you can only sell to people based on regions. Also regarding profits going that happens due to little competition. Also the quality is clearly there due to the quality of US healthcare. We have extremely high quality health insurance and release 50% of the drugs for the entire world. Without our system Europe would suffer as well as us.

@capcom1 Alright well first off what's wrong with profits? It just means there's incentive for people to do the work. So more people can come in and the market gets better. Problem with the US is they have so many restrictions on health insurance companies competition can't come in as easily. I can't buy insurance in New Jersey even though I live in Manhattan. Hell if a Chinese entrepreneur says he's going to sell insurance to the US from China, I should be able to buy from him.

@capcom1 You do realize in the US we take the most risk. Also it counts as infant mortality if the child dies 1 minute after birth. Compared to other countries where it counts only if an hour later or even a day like in Cuba.

@paladinee unfortunately this has some truth as we gradually degenerate from free country to the misery of europian socialism.

@DCUPtoejuice

Like Churchill said once:

" The U.S.A will do everything wrong the most number of times possible then follow Europes example"

[DCUPtoejuice]

@paladinee We do a lot of thinks right in the US that the rest of the world is confused about.

[paladinee]

@DCUPtoejuice

No dont think so, but consider that the U.S is the only "1º world" country not to have free health policies.

@paladinee
