- More than 5 million American children have lost their Medicaid coverage after states were required to recertify Medicaid recipients' eligibility. Procedural and paperwork issues were believed to be why many lost their coverage.

Dont say you are “Pro-life” if you dont believe every American deserves life saving care in the richest country in the world.
Amen❤
Not to mention the pro-life people's low rates of adoption.. I don't hate them, I just keep it real
Why do we have to polarize and further divide ourselves on this issue? We're all in the same boat. The black and white, "good vs evil" two party American system has corrupted you.
They're just hoping for people to put up their babies for adoption. Who else are they going to test on 2:12
@@marie23926do pro-choice people have a high rate of newborn adoption? It's all of us that are neglecting this issue. Why do we always have to blame whoever we don't like for our societal ills instead of realizing that America's two party system has given us a black and white "them bad us good" view of the world. Break away from the system.
I briefly dated a woman who lost her 4 year old daughter to the same thing. When she told me the news (this after we stopped dating) of her passing, I actually privately cried. When I visualized the small casket, I lost it. Didn’t expect to react that way but these things shouldn’t happen. They’re terribly sad 😞
If things had worked out between you two, you would have been that kid's step dad and been part of her life. 😢
@@eatwhatukiii2532 yeah it was also part of why we didn’t work out. Because of the little girl’s condition, her and her baby’s daddy still had a bond out of mutual love of her, and their shared hardship dealing with it.
I was also in a party heavy phase of my life, so I was far from what she needed to fill those shoes. I was more of a fun distraction.
Regardless we cared and had admiration for one another. Which is why we remained friends.. I’m also a good listener, so she enjoyed venting and talking my ear off lol.
The worst part is, they LET these kids die only because their parents don't have enough money to pay out.
It's just evil.
Don't get sad get angry. Very angry and do something. From the uk.
And people still wonder why no one is having kids, why americans are angry
And that made the right wing conservatives and the Christian right wingers angry so now they want Trump to sign an executive order to force women to get married and have kids.
In fact Project 2025 wrote about their plan to force women to get married and have kids by denying them to go to college and indoctrinate women in Christian beliefs
Exactly it should be universal healthcare not paying more just for them to defend deny depose again that's why the u.s is a laughing stock around the world and I hate it with a burning passion
Why did Biden give 60B to Ukraine?
I guess because they're probably liberal?
And I wonder why no one is fighting and advocating for universal health care, child aid, child raising allowance and motherhood allowance. Instead, people still believe Reagans lies.
You still want me to cry for a healthcare CEO😂😂😂
He wasn't even the top chief CEO. How do we know he's even dead with all of this AI generated stuff going on? Also it doesn't make sense that a billionaire would be outside after dark without at least one bodyguard.

Exactly. Anyone who has no empathy for a child who needs healthcare is a monster.
America doesn't care
How much freebies do you want our government to hand out for absolutely just being poor?
@lucasnedtargos Universal healthcare, not just for "poor" people. Everyone. We pay more in copay, deductibles and premiums than other countries' citizens pay for good Healthcare. They pay through taxes. There's no reason we should be handing over our money to corporations to make billions in profit off our illnesses. It's inefficient and designed to make money. Whether we survive is incidental. Insurance companies wouldn't want chronically ill people to survive, they'd just have to pay for care longer. It's a conflict of interest. Don't blame our horrible healthcare system on the poor.
Huh?? Weve been doing nothing but taking care of the poor. OTHER countries poor at that! I can guarantee you neither of the girls parents are Americans so she shouldnt have been here ANYWAY
Funny how they want to control a woman's right to have a baby yet when said baby is on this Earth they can care less about ensuring that babies survival SMH
Desperate, struggling parents are willing to do crappier jobs for less money. That’s why they not only want you to have a baby, but to specifically struggle with it.
Yep
1. It's not a right
2. Then the father has just as much "right" to it as you, including the ability to waive child support.
@@Digger-Nicksod Dads/Father’s who actually single parent their children do receive child support. If it’s due them to better care for their kids, then why would they “waive child support” as your comment suggests?

America's healthcare situation is nothing less than a humanitarian crisis.
Not at all. It’s actually better than most countries that have government healthcare, which is all but a few countries.

Only for Americans.
But that is not the reality of the country and yet knowing that as a family of 3 making 30k a year and not having enough financial stability still they keep reproducing. Where is the compassion as parents about the quality of life they are going to provide the new life they bring into this world when they DO NOT have the resources. In this life there are many injustices but one of the worse having parents with ZERO COMMON SENSE.
That’s a pretty stupid statement.
HOW!? In order for it to be “Affordable” it HAS to be Rationed &/or Subsidized.
There is NO Place in this World where “Affordable” works. So … EVERYWHERE its “Affordable”, its Rationed …

Here in Brazil, I won’t say everything is perfect, because it’s not. However, when it comes to public healthcare, everyone has the right to access it. Of course, it’s all funded by taxes paid by us Brazilians, whether directly or indirectly. But when we need medical assistance, we don’t pay anything, and even foreigners receive free care. The service is almost immediate-you just need to go to a hospital. If your condition is serious, you’ll be seen very quickly.
There are thousands of hospitals called "UPA," which stands for "Emergency Care Unit." It’s a place where almost everything can be resolved, and you can only leave if you’re truly well. In fact, if you have a wristband indicating your medical priority, you’re not allowed to leave. Security guards at the doors will stop you, even if you claim to be fine or want to check if you left your car unlocked. The security guard will check the car for you, but you won’t be allowed to leave until the doctors clear you.
All necessary tests, like blood, urine, stool, and even electrocardiograms, are done there. When you arrive, a receptionist assesses your condition using colored wristbands: green, yellow, orange, or red. This system helps determine how urgent your case is. For example, if you receive a green wristband, meaning your condition is not urgent, and someone arrives after you with a yellow wristband, that person will be seen first.
It doesn’t matter if you’re rich or poor-what matters is the severity of the medical condition. If the person with the yellow wristband is in danger, they’ll be prioritized. The same applies to you-if you arrive in a critical condition and receive a red wristband, you’ll be the top priority and will be seen before everyone else.
Thanks for explaining this.
I always use Brazil's healthcare system as an example of a good system.
Too bad the crime is so high there tho
Even as a Nigerian , from a country that God knows if it's facing multiple issues (understatement) , I can call an ambulance without panicking for the bills. It's not that US "can't", it's some just don't want.
You can definitely get care in the united states for free. Go to a county hospital, you won't be turned away and you don't have to pay. Also many emergency rooms have financial assistance. I signed a paper and my 10k bill was written off. There is sooo much money in health care.
Prolife but once that baby is out and about no Medicare
I love being in the raggedy middle where I "make to much money" to get Medicaid, but do not make remotely enough to afford private health insurance.
You are the working poor. Billionaires love the working poor.
That's messed up
Yup. The Medicaid program is essential, but in its current form it's incredibly inadequate. This sort of thing is why some people have to make the choice not to seek higher pay--they can't afford to lose benefits. If the upper brackets of what qualifies as still needing Medicaid included people who weren't living paycheck to paycheck, then we wouldn't see stories of people who have to make that awful choice.
@@zoyadulzura7490 that's evil
What sucks is that they keep the cost of living, but they don’t raise the limit of poverty
A great country prioritize its citizens well being, not corporations.
Great parents, or just decent parents, would be more responsible. $35,000 is the family's income? That's like one lousy paying full-time job. If all you can manage between two adults is one lousy full-time job, maybe you shouldn't have two kids.
In any society the ruling class distract and divide the middle and working class so they the rich get to run off with all the money. Hmmm wonder how that works in the USA???
Only taxpayers are victimized in this country
@bobcobb7992 the little girl has a heart murmur. She can't be in a daycare, you know that'd be dangerous for her. They have 2 children and one is a toddler- daycare for 2 kids can easily be $2k a month. It makes no sense to go work to pay most of it out to daycare at the risk of their daughter's health.
@andromedaspark2241 having two kids when financially unable to is child abuse
Such a sweet, precious little girl! I would be so upset if anything happened to her.
And Luigi is in custody why? Because this is ridiculous in a “great” country.

The very same people who call themselves "pro-life" seem against universal healthcare, against helping the poor, against helping children, or against helping the elderly. Pro-life seems to mean pro-suffering and pro-death.
Exactly, they WANT others to suffer miserably, whilst since they are pro-birth, likely they just want more slaves (slaves to the system)
Suffering and poverty leads people needing handouts and wanting answers typically these come from untaxed church groups who will show these poors that god is the answer to all their problems as they hand over donated goods and preach his glory.
Why do people make it one or the other. Why do you support dismembering babies in the womb, but are for helping the elderly? Or why do you assume all people who are for saving babies are against helping the elderly? Most of the money and programs outside of the government that go to helping the poor is from religious organizations. I believe that all of it is important saving the lives of babies, helping the homeless, helping the poor. I personally help the poor and homeless out of my own money and I am also against abortion- pro-life means pro-life. Nothing less.
@@holyghostfire238 Then you would be of the extreme extreme few amongst your group
@lyricofwise6894 not true, many like her. MSM and some Dems distort things.
It took a year for patient with heart issues & cancer, and over 250 phone calls before coverage was finally reestablished. Files were some how "lost" and paperwork was "lost". It's hard to believe it wasn't intentional.

I lost my coverage this summer. I have been chronically 6 since I was 9 years old and I will be that way until I die. I definitely live on the poverty level of things right now. I'm not even gonna tell you what I make. Because even though it pays the bills it's a laughable amount to many people and I lost my medicaid this summer. I now have terrible insurance. I need to go to the Doctor and have a procedure. And I keep pushing it off and pushing it off. Because it's going to cost me an arm in a leg. It's not fair to people who in my mind. Deserve this coverage. I'm not sure where this money is going and where the coverage being placed if it's not being placed with people who actually deserve it like me and this family in the article.. Things need to change.

If people think it's bad now. Next four years going to be worst. The same guy that tried to cut Affordable Care Act. 🙄
ACA is only for unemployed and low income people. If I try to go on it my quote is over $600/month. So no worries if it goes. I’ll take my chances with anything/anyone that makes healthcare more affordable.
My mother is retired and low income. That's her insurance so maybe try thinking about others as well.
@rialove6943 what irritates me is that we pay more in taxes for everyone per person than countries that have universal Healthcare yet it goes to the same Insurance companies that charge us out of pocket.
Absolutely!
All true.
2:17 Every American should have health insurance. Didn't Republicans try to get rid of the Affordable Care Act aka Obamacare? Oh well, they're putting Trump back in who wants to repeal even that.
Yes. Unless you're a broke lose.
Wasn’t Obamacare supposed to make sure everyone had health insurance?
Rebuplicans hate anything that could help the working class. All you have to do is look up their voting records.
One Rebuplican walked in during the voting and saved ACA when trump and the other Rebuplicans tried to get rid of it. That was John McCain.
And obama gave the corporations loopholes to not pay and cover employees
Healthcare went up over 73 percent after obamacare was installed
Plus obama took millions from big pharma
And not to mention joe and obama is giving free Healthcare to illegals and fined Americans who couldn't afford Healthcare
Try and succeed are two very different things. This is happening under Obamacare. But your blind hatred of Republicans and Trump causes you to defend a system that is causing the problems you claim to be against.
If ur poor, don't have kids in america. This country does not care about poor ppl, or helping poor ppl. Be smart...... ❤
Poor are covered by Medicaid and other benefits.
5 million???? This is absolutely criminal and unacceptable. The United States is the strongest country in the world and yet it is the only place where healthcare is not considered a human right??????? As an italian, I find this mind-blowing.
There is no insurance in United States. Just whisper of it and we citizen’s are suffering.
My insurance works fine... It's the taxpayers that are victimized
What do taxpayers do exactly.

Yup. People pay huge premiums and get nothing in return except "denied".
@@PastaaFN I agree that taxation is a problem--we need to tax the rich *far* more and take the burden off of the lower classes.
I lost Medicaid for my son back in October. I’m so thankful I had just downsized from a two bedroom to a one bedroom so I could afford the cost to add him onto my insurance from my job. Thankfully I have good insurance through my job since I work for a state hospital out here in Texas.

Forget taxpayer housing, food, medical with no one working, everybody has to work, go to school,pass the courses and find a job.

@@robinalecia7554 It is not heartless to expect all US citizens to take accountability for their actions or lack of and those consequences. Our nation will not survive with generations of people expecting taxpayers to support them and children they have and cannot support, not just for a few months but for decades, and on top of that undocumented allowed to enter our nation and expect the same. Taxpayers that dont want children should not be responsible for funding education, WIC, EBT, Welfare or any entitlement for those that refuse to practice birth control! No other country does this, now the US no longer will. What will happen are opportunities with offered education that must be followed through in order to obtain positions with a living wage, the trade industry has thousands of job openings now that require adequate training and pay well. Next year there will be more job opportunities but you must have a visa or be a citizen. Generations before had to do this, now its time present and future ones become responsible.
@@robinalecia7554 If you think US taxpayers are going to continue to support those that refuse to work or come here illegally and expect entitlements you are very mistaken.

It’s actually not that something has fallen through the cracks. It’s literally paperwork. I don’t mean paperwork failed through the cracks. I mean a backlog of actual paperwork. In other words, not enough people to process request fast enough and get a request for coverage accepted or denied.
I grew up as a kid who needed Medicaid insurance in Michigan if you lost coverage, you could apply for it again and have it back in 30 days or less. You could check the emergency box and get it in a week. The problem is, we don’t have enough people to actually process all of this paperwork. Governments don’t have enough money to hire the people to process the paperwork. Normally, you would get that money from the federal government but wait a minute we’re going to cut federal spending to help fund people we need to process paperwork. Guess what happens if they don’t process the paperwork? People don’t get insurance and the federal government’s budget drops slightly less than one percent. Hey it’s what doge wants.
Where in Mi? I live in Michigan i keep getting deny im disabled! My children can't get medicaid! They make up shyt like my child is working ,she a full time msu student.

What a shame, when this country boasts how rich and powerful this country is. Healthcare should be a right; not a privilege .
Yup they cut health insurance for my nieces and nephews for the same reason and they have been waiting to get health coverage since May. Single parent who is working a job that doesn't provide healthcare coverage and it's a shame to see this happening. Kick everyone off and make it difficult for everyone to get back on and in the mean time you pray your children remain healthy or you can find work with healthcare coverage included.
1970's women rarely had jobs that even offered Health Insurance. It was still "Archie Bunker" style America. 😢
Lost my Medicaid coverage in April. I’m struggling with many health issues. Covid has left me with more respiratory issues. Now I’m having to pay for UnitedHealthcare each month but still can’t afford to go to the dr. My medical bills have already piled up.
You should have been booted a long time ago! COVID got people like you comfortable
Shameful country. .
Health Care for All!
We need for the public to share their horror stories about healthcare because I am pretty sure is not only a couple of cases out there, but millions. Healthcare should NOT be a business transaction it should be a basic human right.
The same is happening with SNAP benefits. I have 3 children and I don’t qualify for SNAP why because I make $17 an hr not close to a livable wage they say my gross income on payday is $600 roughly now that’s before taxes and the payment that comes out weekly for healthcare dental and eye insurance for me and my family then they don’t factor in my rent $800 my car payment another $450 shall I continue?! Something somewhere has to change in order to help American families succeed without struggling so hard to try and do it

How much child support are you getting? Minimum should be $250 each and $750 a month total for three. The kids dad should be helping you.
@@BusArch42 there are lots of ways father can get away with avoiding paying child support

America is the only developed countries that does not have universal insurance for every citizen. Insurance companies profit highly but people in USA have bad health care.
Trump will make things worst😢
😢 😭
BS!
@@YaYaPaBlaHe will mostly be golfing like last time.
This is happening under biden 💀
@@rosscyn1959Or cheating with a corn star. 😂
Shame on the us government!!!
Canada has FREE healthcare for everyone and also includes pre-existing conditions.
Canada is a mess though
Yep
That is criminal in our country
I love my Canadian universal healthcare.
I prefer my American freedom. No bank accounts frozen here for criticism of the President
Good for you
@@mydude74That didnt happen in Canada. Lol at the misrepresentation.
@@mydude74 What are you talking about? In Canada we have a Prime Minister named Justin Trudeau and nobody in Canada has had their bank account frozen for criticizing Justin Trudeau.
Glad you have it. US Healthcare is the most expensive on Earth, yet our health outcomes are far down the list, no where near a success. That cost doesn't equal quality. It's administrative waste and price gouging. I don't understand why Americans believe the propaganda against Universal healthcare when so many successful examples exist around the world.
America government isn’t for the people, it’s for the money.
This is why cuts need to be made but from the right places. Money needs to be taken from areas that are abusing our tax dollars. Trump will be making cuts but plans to expand Medicaid for children.

Vigilantes are on both teams.
Brian Thompson killed thousands of people
Welcome to America. Greatest country on Earth. Yep.
I’m so grateful to be Canadian. Our health care has issues, but you’ll never lose your life savings just trying to live.
I'm a speech-language pathologist and work with kids on Medicaid. I every instance where a child fell off of Medicaid, it was because the parent ignored the request for information, and they didn't send in the paperwork.
Don’t worry Trump has a better concept of a plan.
lol
@@coldcutcombo4704 right
He does
This is happening under Biden. But your borderline personality disordered brain still finds a way to blame Trump.
@@jimmyjames6487The affordable care act lol
Oh so force pregnancy but once the child is actually born who cares anymore! What in the actual. This is crazy nonsense
People could try not jumping around from bed to bed, or actually use some form of birth control.
So abortion has nothing to do with this story.
@@YaYaPaBlaforced vasectomies.
nobody forced them to open their legs ...
Tell that to the 10 year olds@@YaYaPaBla
We can send billions of dollars every year to foreign countries but cannot insure the poor.
Those are investments of the rich, no to help the suffering in other countries, how could you think otherwise for even a second. This is america we're talking about
Will not*
We are at the turning point where we have to DEMAND UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE here in the US , absolutely shameful and inhumane as a,society
"Why aren't Americans having more kids?!?!" Because of this. Children are expensive and my quality of life will go down if I have one right now. Look at how expensive it is to birth a child, daycare, diapers, medical care and insurance, etc. No.
Not to mention, children rearing is a personal choice and not everyone should have kids
All of the snarky comments on this video is sickening, this babygirl deserves Healthcare like all Americans. You never know what other people are going through, the comments sound really hateful.
I think most people are appalled at the ignorance of people claiming that without insurance or money, you cannot get healthcare when every hospital in the USA has to treat anyone, no matter their ability to pay.
Yall voting for this man
When it comes to insurance america is not a place to be it's discusting
*disgusting
Why is this world so cruel?
Because humans are evil. 😈😈😈😈😈
OUR CHILDREN ARE THE FUTURE OF THIS NATION AND WE MUST PROTECT THEM IT IS OUR JOBS!! They did not ask to be in this dogshit world. But best believe they deserve every chance to be healthy
Thanks for covering this. Please cover moe news on healthcare issue in America. Right now is the time to mobilize and free health care for all American.
Well, at least each of those insurance CEOs make at least $20 million per year.
Time to "work with more CEOs" DENY, DEFEND, DEPOSE!
I don't have health insurance either,and im from this country.
I have medicaid and I'm extremely grateful. I also work and pay into the system.
Have you looked into state health coverage. My wife and child get free coverage. I pay about 30 dollars per month.
I have good coverage as does my wife and child.
I've even gotten things like acupuncture done for just small co pays with my state healthcare.
It's good.
Get it through your employer.
@@seriejohnson698minimum wage jobs don't offer health insurance.
I'm on medicaid
I had been on it for 3 years along with my daughter. They took me off but left my daughter thank goodness. They took me off most social programs as they say I make to much. I am a widow raising my daughter on my own though. Luckily I make do and am ok but my heart breaks for the folks who really need the assistance.
Well I had to have my baby with no insurance , paid out of pocket for c section and a high risk dr and regular OBGYN. Plus her insurance after we found a job with family insurance benefits . And they take 750 a week for insurance for family coverage of 3 people. A lot of people have no government assistance or don’t qualify for it. A lot of people also lie and cheat the system to use the benefits. Don’t marry, have multiple children to qualify, don’t work etc I feel bad for them but healthcare should be covered for everyone . 🤷♀️ I know people who had multiple children and never paid one dollar towards the hospital bill for the births of their children . Someone of us had to pay the entire thing and can’t afford more than one child! So those who were fortunate to have more than one and get government help consider yourself LUCKY . Middle class gets no incentives or help
This is why we need to catch up with the rest of the world and have Universal healthcare!!!
We need to stoo giving Ukraine money and use it for our citizens
@@NeygarzruinedAmericaWhat stopped US government from using the money for its citizens before the war in Ukraine? Or is Ukraine now a root cause of all US problems?
Which won’t solve the chronic disease epidemic
Universal healthcare would be a much cheaper way of insuring access to quality healthcare, but your economy would take a huge financial hit as healthcare accounts for 17.5% of your economy.
The worlds biggest economy purely down to the fact it screws it citizens over for a basic human right.
@@NeygarzruinedAmerica Most of the aid sent to Ukraine is surplus military equipment. What's that little girl supposed to do with a few hundred rounds of outdated ordinance?
The healthcare system…it’s more like healthscare system. 🙄
They make it so hard and the lines are always busy.
0:42 such an adorable child 🙏💕💕💕
A species that fails to protect of it's offspring. What could go wrong.
Offsprings are overrated anyway
@@anuragchakraborty8766 this is how a species dies out
Or, here's a thought... how about universal basic health coverage.
And the 1%, politicians, and elites wonder why we are raging. This is awful and should NOT be happening.
Should be free for all. We need less billionaires, more Healthcare coverage for people
Several states are experiencing this. Even Minnesota….. home to some of the best healthcare in the US. Somebody needs to fix it! And it ain’t going to happen on a federal level. Local politicians… DO SOMETHING!
This is horrifying. We desperately need to get universal healthcare.
And if something happens to the kids and the family cant get them help then they will call dcfs.
