 Now let's be real about health care in America because God this is one of the big mixed conceptions Europeans have about the world But but let me correct that that Americans have about their own system If you have health insurance in the United States You get the best health care in the world Bar none. I know it's it's a reality. I'm a little older than you I use health care a lot more than you do young people don't use health care So yes, socialized medicine is great You can walk into a clinic when you've got the sniffles and not have to pay anything But if I have cancer There's no place in the world you'd rather be in the United States indeed people who have the resources in Europe and Get cancer. Where do they go? They don't stay in Europe even in France Which has the best health care system in the world according to the United Nations They get on a plane and they go to the Mayo Clinic or the Cleveland Clinic My health insurance will pay for me to go to Mayo Clinic in the United States so if you have health insurance You can have access to the best health care in the world Not enough people have access to health care health insurance in the United States absolute why Not because of capitalism Capitalism creates products for the poor We want the poor to buy insurance we can make money off of them So why don't the poor have health insurance in the United States? they don't have it because of the of the Regulatory regime that restricts the kind of insurance policies they sell in America. So I used to live in California I don't anymore luckily But in California if I wanted to buy a health insurance policy it had a cover acupuncture I've tried acupuncture. It doesn't work for me.

Yeah, I have to have pregnancy coverage My wife has to have all kinds of coverages that she doesn't need anymore I have to have all kinds of coverage. I don't want anymore But the state the government mandates that those be included insurance company policies to protect us So what you don't get is cheap policies Customized to the customer like I can buy a cheap car, you know, I could be small I you know, I rented a car here in Paris manual shift But it it got me from Paris to here and it'll get me back And it's pretty safe and it's pretty good. But if I wanted to I could splurge and Get a Maserati. I Don't need a Maserati to get to reams. I can use my little Citroen. I learned to drive on a Citroen So it was a little it was nice, but But you don't have that everybody has gold-plated Maseratis as health insurance policies in the United States most a lot of people can't 10% of the population can't afford them And they go on and should Other myths about health care in the United States.
