What's your problem with Robert Kennedy? He wants more safety testing for shots. Are you against safety studies?? Maybe you should read up on the issues one day and see. Same with water fluoridation, which the administration kept study data withheld. Another stupid thing, fluoride is in toothpaste, why add it to water?
How can anyone possibly be surprised that a country's healthcare being based entirely on private health insurance would turn out to be a disaster, especially in America?
Friends of mine have a doctor who doesn’t take insurance. Patients pay a monthly fee directly to the doctor and then care is free when they go to the office. It’s kinda like insurance but skips the middleman…pay premiums directly to the medical professionals. They love it.
Is the medication included or do you have to pay out of pocket if you need a prescription? That sounds like a fantastic idea but I feel like on the medication side of things you would still pay an arm and a leg, especially if you have medication you use daily. (This is just an honest question, not an argument or anything negative)
We do the same. I have the HSA from my work & pay like $20/month for worst case scenario but I pay $180 for both my partner & I to have a concierge doctor… labs are like $5-$20 & we still pay for meds through the cheapest insurance plan with my job. But since it’s pre taxed I save the 27% tax between state & federal taxes…. So much cheaper than insurance.
He did what anyone denied care fantasied taking out someone accountable of refusing treatment for their loved one’s HOW ARE THEY ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH THIS!!! We are giving that CEO THE SAME RESPECT HE GAVE TO PEOPLE IN DIRE NEED ZILCH NADA NOTHING!!!!
You know what’s worse than the healthcare system, the actual medical system. When you actually go to a doctor, they have no idea how to help you and if they do they just give you drugs. The only healthcare that really works is life-saving care. We are very good at that. We need more preventive care and we need to teach nutrition starting in first grade.
The health insurance industry turned up the heat very gradually over the years just like the frog being boiled alive in water to the point that we didn't notice how bad it was getting. Example: In 1982 I had a motorcycle accident which landed me in the hospital for 10 days. My bill was $35 for TV and telephone. I had Met Life insurance through Dow Chemical. There were no premiums, deductibles, or co-pays. You just had to show your card. Fast forward to 2008. I needed colon surgery after 13 days in the hospital, for a total of 17 days after surgery. I paid the $500 deductible twice, once for each entrance into the hospital, but the bill would have been over $100,000 if I didn't have Aetna insurance through another big company. With that policy, there WERE premiums, deductibles and co-pays. Insurance policies used to be you simply paid a monthly premium and were covered for everything. It purposely became very complicated little by little with HMOs, PPOs and perhaps Cheerios.
I'm watching from Australia. Our system is essentially government funded, with private 'top up' cover for private hospital, dental and vision (about $2'500 AU per YEAR). Its' cost to the economy is about 40% of the cost of the US system per capita, and medical bankruptcy is virtually unknown.
But the medical outcomes are terrible and it's terribly inefficient due to the issues hinted at at 07:00 - the decision to separate diseases rather than view the body as an interconnected system.
@@RainBoxRed Where is your proof that medical outcome is worse in Australia than the USA? I don’t know anyone who is in medical debt or has been denied any medical treatment that they are insured for. If you decided to take cove that does not cover your required illness, you can still have it if required by your doctor using the free Medicare system.
Speaking from years of US healthcare experience- people don’t seek treatment until it’s too late, they *die* to avoid bankruptcy/ homelessness. The US for-profit health insur system *rations* care by leveraging high deductibles, delays and denials that fatten their pockets while denying coverage to their members who pay monthly premiums. Healthcare needs to be a govt-administered *service* not “insurance” because healthcare is needed more often than infrequent emergencies/ accidents/ natural events. We are the *only* democratic, industrialized country without some version of universal healthcare! Don’t fall for insur co’s scare tactics/ propaganda, see the data online- univ hc has better outcomes, greater longevity than US.
15:51 Allowing coverage for pre-existing conditions isn’t a “small victory,” it has saved many lives. The public option was stripped out of the ACA by one man, Joe Lieberman, who received a lot of money from the health insurance sector, which beautifully illustrates the problem with getting more reforms through.
Yeah this is weird that this video is not getting more traction. So here I am to give one comment for the algorithm. Good luck amd thanks for these awesome and informative videos!
Same thing. We had insurance through Obamacare even when my husband had coverage through his job because his works plan was worse with less protection and more expensive. Had a baby on that plan, paid $22k total that year for premiums and deductibles. Finally switched jobs and now have good plans through work. But we are in a super privelaged position, and this happy life is over as soon as we loose the job.
I’m also in Denver Colorado! We use Balanced Healthcare which is a concierge medicine style clinic. They can do anything all the way up to Urgent care services. I believe it’s $95/month for 1 person, we pay $180/mo for 2 of us through an HSA account. Unlimited doctor visits, we pay a super low cost for labs & they don’t check with insurance to make sure something is covered. It just is. Plus, as a nurse, I’d rather have my PA & NP advise me on my health than a doctor who went through the hazing of residency & now hates the world. Of course they can send referrals for specialists if needed but overall they have helped both my partner & I manage our lives with chronic illnesses! It’s been sooooo much better than insurance. We still pay the high deductible plan but that’s like $20/mo!
The horrible thing is that lower income families and individuals don't have the same choices. People with long term health problems that cost a lot don't have a choice. The quality of care - is it also fair? I live in a different country in a different system - there are massive problems with the quality of care depending on where you live...rural lives are suffering from lack of available health care. What's the effect in the US? Does this also change the choice and standard of care available?
I live in a semi-rural area in Texas and it ABSOLUTELY affects the quality of care by limiting access, dramatically limiting a person’s choice of providers and the timeframe they can get appointments. It is slowly killing the rural low-income. There’s no public transportation here, so even getting to the LOCAL providers can be an insurmountable problem. Families and churches try to fill in gaps, but it’s so hard to watch. The poor, the old, the young are so powerless here.
I saw a dramatic difference in the quality of the care between our lone hospital in my area and the quality of care my father received at a larger hospital in an urban area of Texas. I could go on and on…😞
I live in rural New Mexico. Swore off Drs 10 years ago because, after my father stole my car and COVID paralyzed me from the waist down ( temporarily, Thank God), getting to appointments was nigh on impossible, as the ride service that went with my Medicare/Medicare was corrupt and screwed up people's service requests on purpose. Psycho at the helm...it was exposed and disbanded 6 years ago now because we all protested and picketed and got them shut down. BUT getting TO health care was just beyond me. And when I went, the "care" left me feeling more broken and hopeless. We have a program here which is supposedly a great boon to our people: A sweet deal 2 year dr residency program. So, we, IN theory, get FRESHLY trained Drs ... And....well, there IS NO CONTINUITY OF CARE... And no one even wants to finish 2 YEARS HERE!! They leave all the time. 😮 I spent 2 years trying to suss out an in network Dr who planned to stay in town for more than two weeks... And going to appointments with the ones sworn to be here forever, to establish a relationship before elderly crisis begin to hit... And every fucking time, the so-called permanent solution LEFT TOWN AGAIN!! I began to have a terrible problem about three years ago, following a good head cracker of a fall. Even THAT was messed up, care-wise!! The night I biffed it in the driveway ( it was a seizure, come to find out, I was off the medical care by then, so just went inside, puked a few times, stuck a wad of toilet paper on the gash on my forehead and went to lie down and try to stay awake so I didn't due if the concussion. Well, an hour later there's a cop knock in my door. 😮I was so dizzy and in head pain, I could not holler. I tried to get up to answer but it was impossible. So, the people knocking burst into my house. It was EMT'S! My neighbor had called an ambulance when they had seen me fall down and hit my head... I refused service. I had not even CALLED THEM. But I got charged for that REFUSED ambulance response. $2,359!! anyway. 😮😮😮 After one month of trying to see the right people to clean up the mess made by a cracked skull and infection that is now systemic, I am giving up again. It is much more stressful to pursue these solutions than it is to just be happy and die peacefully at home with my kitties... ❤
I watched this on Substack. It was good to see it again. Thank you, for your great investigative reporting. I’m always learning something when I watch your channel.
Watch the Colbert report on Rockefeller's medicine. Sincerely what we have is a system that doesn't work. It is sick Care, and what I consider a band aids system, not finding the root cause of the problems.... I have had to go outside the Rockefeller's Health business for care that finds the root cause of the problem, and fixes it.
So with all the corruption, insurance companies are leaving high risk areas. Why not just nationalize the insurance companies. The government could use the revenue and they would save money besides & I'm starting to think any industry that's critical and can't get itself I'm order should also be nationalize the fact we are letting inequality get out of hand to such a degree that this is literally not sustainable.
The VA system is life saving medical attention for veterans. Is it perfect no. Yet we as a country need to Unite to have a national system for all. This is the humane approach.
Crowd health wouldn't work for people who need thousands of dollars of medicine and durable medical equipment. I think this sounds great for generally healthy people.
It's a trick bag and I don't know why Scott is pushing this trite nonsense which puts Americans right back into the profit over healthcare model. These companies are still driven by the same perverse incentives as standard insurance companies.
@@sgcarneyit's hard for people with type 1 diabetes. Our healthcare system is not set up for sick people. I have a long healthcare story that almost ended in my needless death. I'm pretty much the poster child for why we need single payor system.
Very informative. I would like to hear about naturopathy et al, and the separation of dental, hearing and optical. I knew the AMA had something to do with it. And in my opinion there are some wellness modalities that should be considered medical care. Also, the video was well produced, you have a nice voice and are pleasing to the eye.
I’m also a big believer in Direct Primary Care paired with ancillary policies like critical illness or accident insurance. That’s been another great way to save a ton of money and get higher quality care as someone who is self employed.
Great add. I would congratulate you on your first sponsorship, but I thought you previously said (quite recently) you would try to never have them here?
I’ve revised my position slightly after much pushback. I will only take sponsorships if they don’t influence my editorial. The sponsors must understand that I will only give my honest appraisal-which is interesting because I have another video coming out soon about a sponsor who hired me and then the product turned out not to work.
Hmmmm I thought there was a time when private office doctors would take cash. (Like 50 years ago) I think the insurance company stepped in and pharmaceutical agents went in selling drugs for doctors to give to patients…….businesses began to provide group discount to employees.
We discussed all of this in nursing school about 15 years ago. It's only gotten worse. I've lost hope. This problem won't be solved during my lifetime. All we can do is everything in our control to keep ourselves healthy and hope we never have a bad accident or major illness. 🤷♀Winning the good gene pool lottery can make or break your finances.
I'm off the same mind! I was sick for ever. Discovered it was all TRAUMA!! LEFT COUNSELING...AND GOT SANE.LEFT MEDICINE & MEDICATIONS...AND GOT HEALTHY. LEFT CHURCH AND FOUND GOD!!
Direct Primary Care is an alternative to insurance based care at least when it comes to Primary Care (not specialist Care). You basically pay $60 a month and you get unlimited visits, wholesale medicine, no insurance or co-insurance needed. Its a good way to stick it to the middle man because there is no middle man. Now Direct Primary Care practices did not even need Congessional support. A few doctors came up with the plan and its been successful ever since. Now if this can happen on the primary level, why not Speciality care too?
Your interesting historical explanation misses the role of the Rockefellers in preventing universal healthcare. Our system is "a gift" from the oligarchs. See: Rockefeller Medicine Men: Medicine and Capitalism in America.
If you bring your car to a mechanic for a new starter it'll be three or four hundred dollars. But if you bring your car to the mechanic for a dented fender it's $3,000. Why? Because individuals pay for starter moters with cash but insurance companies pay for body work enough said
I tried to “opt out” of health insurance bc it didn’t fit into my budget but my state with a supposedly better system (Massachusetts) has a penalty for not having health insurance. I didn’t use the system AT ALL that year and had to pay the state over $1200 dollars at tax time because they decided I made enough money to afford it. What a scam.
Misinformation to say Mangione was inspired by Unibomber. Roomate suggested the book for book club, one of hundreds ofbooks he read. Also did not give Unibomber writings 5 stars, so not enthralled by it.
I refuse to get health insurance. To get my whole family insured will cost me $200 a paycheck! It's cheaper just to deal with it if it happens. I don't go to the doctor enough to worry about it anyway! My wife goes every month and gets a medication, and that's cheaper than just for myself to get health insurance, which means that even if I just got it for myself and used it to go to the doctor every month, I'd be paying more than if I didn't have it! With co pays and deductibles!
Crowd Health is another terrible idea. Carney has no idea what he’s talking about. My PCP charges $548 for a basic visit. I get to see her 2 minutes for ONE minor issue.
Thanks for the video. I’ll look into Crowd Health. I wonder what happens if you drop your insurance, will you still get the fine for not having insurance when you do your taxes, or will you have a form to provide a tax man.: I personally don’t like the disclaimer when you use the quotes of people you generally disagree with. Do you agree with almost everything Elizabeth Warren says? Of if these people are so disagreeable, then maybe don’t use them, or outline why they only make sense in this area. I get it: RFK is divisive, and maybe that’s all you have to say.
The Trump administration got rid of the mandate during his first administration so, as I understand it, unless you live somewhere that enforces it at a state level, there is no penalty to not having insurance anymore. I like Warren quite a bit, but doubt I agree with everything anyone says.
We are really good at life saving care, especially end of life. We are very good at keeping people alive artificially. I don’t want sound ghoulish so I will give an example. A person with Alzheimer’s remembers no one in their family anymore. They cannot function, can not feed themselves, or walk. Their body doesn’t remember how to process various processes. TMI. Why on earth would we medicate them to help their body remember? Let them pass dignified and naturally. Reason why we do this? So we can extract upward of $10k a month from the estate in terms of care.
No. He was NOT inspired by the Unabomber. Not even close. That sort of downplays who he is and more importantly why he did what he did. You’re assuming he was probably because you saw his good reads and he gave the Unabomber’s book like 4/5 stars or something, right? Well actually he just started a book club in Hawaii & they were exploring books of all kinds of different genres and his buddy suggested the Unabomber’s book to read next just as a topic of discussion. Nothing more. Nothing less. This man is way too educated to just shrug him off as some kid inspired by something that couldn’t be more discounted and irrelevant. Just sayin’.
Government can be the solution if it is done as it is done overseas. That is why every other first world country has universal healthcare. Because of their governments. Private, for-profit is definitely not the solution. Just look at the mess they have caused.
The US had the best healthcare system in the world until the government got involved. If you think what we have is bad now, wait till you get socialized medicine like in Canada and England. It will be all about cutting cost.
@@marktapley7571 That's what the insurance company's do with their denials. I live in a country with free healthcare and the cost is 1/3 of the US system per Capita. And that is not taken account of the large amounts that people in US have to pay out of pocket and get into dept over. Nobody in my country have to file bankruptcy over a helt care bill. Ambulance's are free of charge, staying in a hospital is free of charge and surgery's are free of charge. And it is your doctor who decides what blood work and what screenings you will need. We do not have a perfect system but it is far better than what the US system. I hope that US one day soon will get universal health care, it is a human right and something that a civilised county should have.
Your commercial is misleading. Our income is around $80,000/year and we still qualify for a subsidy. We pay monthly premiums and we have a high deductible, but we still qualify. Also, did they biopsy your skin cancer??? If not, it was probably just a keratosis that they froze off or a basal cell carcinoma which is non life threatening. I wonder how much you would have paid if you'd needed MOHs surgery.
In your intro, are you suggesting that Cally Means actually wanted to encourage violence, even murder? If so, I don't think this is warranted. It strikes me as irresponsible and delusional.
You are 'reading' something into the intro that simply isn't there. Carney was drawing a correlation btw something Means happened to say, FIGURATIVELY- that happened to then play out LITERALLY, IRL. Stop putting words into someone's mouth (in this case Carney's) - that isn't there.
@sdjohnston67 HA! More like you, yourself, are being irresponsible & delusional with YOUR suggestion. Do you ALSO accuse newscasters of 'suggesting violence' when they describe violent criminal acts as they announce current news events?
I’m emotional compelled by this stance but (I know ppl will scoff) after hearing debates with Destiny, amount few others, I’m not so sure it’s this cut and dry. Theres some merit to this but the claims of massive claims denial are mostly unsubstantiated and the courts have decided this on many such cases. It’s more nuanced.
@@Knardsh Not nuanced. Overly complex and with too many middle men taking their cut. Combined with the corporate responsibility to always make a profit prices are driven higher. When there is a single payer you have leverage to negotiate costs.
so when United Health's denial rate went up 10% under Brian Thompson, that was just incidental? They cover a lot of Americans. That 10% is a lot of people denied claims.
@@AriWeismanchester destiny is wrong. i worked in utilization management and the state overturned their denials more than 50% of the time at least. NYC Health and Hospital sued them and won. Destiny is not a good source for information.
Crowd Health, maybe in California it works but elsewhere……… And to walk around with hundreds of dollars in your pocket 😂😂😂😂…. Okay, good luck with that.
Hugely stupid question: IF your ELECTED politicians cared, why not copy-ish in an americanized version of Universal healthcare in Europe? (not Big bad Communist Russia which as a French I hate now bc of Ukraine, but it's another topic), but basically any European country???? It had already been proved again and again that people are happy with that! (terrifying note: I have been terribly sick (4 different diseases) in the last 10 years, my French Healthcare system (7th in the World struggled to keep me alive - I nearly died twice, even 4 times), and unfortunately it was rare diseases so the doctors were "we don't know"....."But we'll treat the symptoms and keep you alive. I would be DEAD, if I had been born and stayed in US - just this terrified me in going to your country, lives don't matter: black, white, blue, purple...... Sad you terrible things but you amazing thing (you are a bit extreme, let's honest). And as child of a healthcare provider mother and social care exec in France, I still don't understand why you don't study the other healthcare and create a MUTUAL fund (or maybe multiple MUTUAL funds) and pay them with the necessary promesses and possibility to fired the people you put in charge (super important, a lot are greedy and/or power angry) and go from there. Social media is here for you (OH and no one should get super rich in Insurance/healthcare: my parents were upper middle class, also my dad manage 300 person and was the big boss at the social exec association - in France, this is not the Pashto make money, go sell bad and any luxury BS for that)

The system isn't based entirely on private insurance, though.
@@Nick_Lamb Yes, it is.
It's not ENTIRELY private. Medicare and Medicaid are both a kind of socialized medicine.
Hard to point this out without seeming snarky, but there's a difference between what something is and what it's based on.
Interestingly, it’s based on the idea of removing money from medicine-but it was done very very poorly in 1910. This vid gives the history.
Healthcare in US is insane 😮
what healthcare?
Friends of mine have a doctor who doesn’t take insurance. Patients pay a monthly fee directly to the doctor and then care is free when they go to the office.
It’s kinda like insurance but skips the middleman…pay premiums directly to the medical professionals.
They love it.
There’s also telehealth doctors practices that do this! And you can also still have in person appointments with no change to the price
It’s like £25 a month for unlimited care
Is the medication included or do you have to pay out of pocket if you need a prescription? That sounds like a fantastic idea but I feel like on the medication side of things you would still pay an arm and a leg, especially if you have medication you use daily.

There is some truth to that. But I think it needs some nuance on top of it.
well any bozo can do the job maybe these are not doctors they are bozo persionfied
Docs need to learn about health care. And stop taking money for pushing drugs.
Yep, zero faith in medical system as applied unless you are dying or have a broken bone except with baby care. That they seem able to do.

So, the people knocking burst into my house. It was EMT'S! My neighbor had called an ambulance when they had seen me fall down and hit my head... I refused service. I had not even CALLED THEM. But I got charged for that REFUSED ambulance response. $2,359!! anyway. 😮😮😮
After one month of trying to see the right people to clean up the mess made by a cracked skull and infection that is now systemic, I am giving up again. It is much more stressful to pursue these solutions than it is to just be happy and die peacefully at home with my kitties... ❤
@@sunnyadams5842Wow! I’m sad this all happened to you! Praying life gets better.
Big businesses treat all sicknesses with emergency medicine .. allopathy. Naturopathy is their competition .. being healthy costs them money ..
I watched this on Substack. It was good to see it again. Thank you, for your great investigative reporting. I’m always learning something when I watch your channel.
Watch the Colbert report on Rockefeller's medicine. Sincerely what we have is a system that doesn't work. It is sick Care, and what I consider a band aids system, not finding the root cause of the problems.... I have had to go outside the Rockefeller's Health business for care that finds the root cause of the problem, and fixes it.
Yes…I talk about that history with Flexner
Means and Kennedy had nothing to do with Luigi
Luigi, we love you!
So with all the corruption, insurance companies are leaving high risk areas. Why not just nationalize the insurance companies. The government could use the revenue and they would save money besides & I'm starting to think any industry that's critical and can't get itself I'm order should also be nationalize the fact we are letting inequality get out of hand to such a degree that this is literally not sustainable.
too many politicians in their pocket. would never get passed.
The VA system is life saving medical attention for veterans. Is it perfect no. Yet we as a country need to Unite to have a national system for all. This is the humane approach.
That's a good point about the VA.
Crowd health wouldn't work for people who need thousands of dollars of medicine and durable medical equipment. I think this sounds great for generally healthy people.
That might be correct. I don't know if they cover devices or not.
It's a trick bag and I don't know why Scott is pushing this trite nonsense which puts Americans right back into the profit over healthcare model. These companies are still driven by the same perverse incentives as standard insurance companies.
@@sgcarneyit's hard for people with type 1 diabetes. Our healthcare system is not set up for sick people. I have a long healthcare story that almost ended in my needless death. I'm pretty much the poster child for why we need single payor system.
Im also a healthcare provider that would like to see this change happen for my patients as well.
I absolutely agree we need a single payer system. Until we get that though, what are we supposed to do?
Many, many practices, hospitals etc WILL NOT take cash or see patients without insurance.
I'm sure Rockefeller was looking for the best type of healthcare and not the one with the largest profit margin...
Very informative. I would like to hear about naturopathy et al, and the separation of dental, hearing and optical. I knew the AMA had something to do with it. And in my opinion there are some wellness modalities that should be considered medical care.
Also, the video was well produced, you have a nice voice and are pleasing to the eye.
It has to do with the weirdness of the John’s Hopkins academic setup circa 1910.
57 years next to zero insurance. We all die.
Be careful HONEY is not taking your fees. That is paypal.
I’m also a big believer in Direct Primary Care paired with ancillary policies like critical illness or accident insurance. That’s been another great way to save a ton of money and get higher quality care as someone who is self employed.
Unfortunately catastrophic insurance policies aren’t available for people over 30 or 35
Great add. I would congratulate you on your first sponsorship, but I thought you previously said (quite recently) you would try to never have them here?
I’ve revised my position slightly after much pushback. I will only take sponsorships if they don’t influence my editorial. The sponsors must understand that I will only give my honest appraisal-which is interesting because I have another video coming out soon about a sponsor who hired me and then the product turned out not to work.
Hmmmm I thought there was a time when private office doctors would take cash. (Like 50 years ago) I think the insurance company stepped in and pharmaceutical agents went in selling drugs for doctors to give to patients…….businesses began to provide group discount to employees.
We discussed all of this in nursing school about 15 years ago. It's only gotten worse. I've lost hope. This problem won't be solved during my lifetime. All we can do is everything in our control to keep ourselves healthy and hope we never have a bad accident or major illness. 🤷♀Winning the good gene pool lottery can make or break your finances.
I'm off the same mind! I was sick for ever. Discovered it was all TRAUMA!!
LEFT COUNSELING...AND GOT SANE.LEFT MEDICINE & MEDICATIONS...AND GOT HEALTHY.
LEFT CHURCH AND FOUND GOD!!
This CENSORSHIP THING IS NEXT!!
It is mind-boggling from the European point of view that a doctor's visit costing "only" 500 dollars tops is considered a step forward in murica.
It is insane. I agree. But better than bankruptcy.
really insightful and entertaining vid
Direct Primary Care is an alternative to insurance based care at least when it comes to Primary Care (not specialist Care). You basically pay $60 a month and you get unlimited visits, wholesale medicine, no insurance or co-insurance needed. Its a good way to stick it to the middle man because there is no middle man. Now Direct Primary Care practices did not even need Congessional support. A few doctors came up with the plan and its been successful ever since. Now if this can happen on the primary level, why not Speciality care too?
The problem is it won’t cover big events like cancer.
Your interesting historical explanation misses the role of the Rockefellers in preventing universal healthcare. Our system is "a gift" from the oligarchs. See: Rockefeller Medicine Men: Medicine and Capitalism in America.
No it doesn’t. That is what the flexner report was all about.
If you bring your car to a mechanic for a new starter it'll be three or four hundred dollars. But if you bring your car to the mechanic for a dented fender it's $3,000. Why? Because individuals pay for starter moters with cash but insurance companies pay for body work enough said
I tried to “opt out” of health insurance bc it didn’t fit into my budget but my state with a supposedly better system (Massachusetts) has a penalty for not having health insurance. I didn’t use the system AT ALL that year and had to pay the state over $1200 dollars at tax time because they decided I made enough money to afford it. What a scam.
How was the insurance?
Misinformation to say Mangione was inspired by Unibomber. Roomate suggested the book for book club, one of hundreds ofbooks he read. Also did not give Unibomber writings 5 stars, so not enthralled by it.
Crowd Source sounds like a pyramid scheme.
I refuse to get health insurance. To get my whole family insured will cost me $200 a paycheck! It's cheaper just to deal with it if it happens. I don't go to the doctor enough to worry about it anyway! My wife goes every month and gets a medication, and that's cheaper than just for myself to get health insurance, which means that even if I just got it for myself and used it to go to the doctor every month, I'd be paying more than if I didn't have it! With co pays and deductibles!
WE ALL KNOW THE TRUTH. ALL OF US.
I just try to avoid medical doctors. Unfortunately the best doctors are usually holistic or functional medicine. And all of that is out of pocket
Crowd Health is another terrible idea. Carney has no idea what he’s talking about. My PCP charges $548 for a basic visit. I get to see her 2 minutes for ONE minor issue.
Thanks for the video. I’ll look into Crowd Health. I wonder what happens if you drop your insurance, will you still get the fine for not having insurance when you do your taxes, or will you have a form to provide a tax man.: I personally don’t like the disclaimer when you use the quotes of people you generally disagree with. Do you agree with almost everything Elizabeth Warren says? Of if these people are so disagreeable, then maybe don’t use them, or outline why they only make sense in this area. I get it: RFK is divisive, and maybe that’s all you have to say.
The Trump administration got rid of the mandate during his first administration so, as I understand it, unless you live somewhere that enforces it at a state level, there is no penalty to not having insurance anymore. I like Warren quite a bit, but doubt I agree with everything anyone says.
Not sure I'd want to help crowdfund antibiotics for a minor skinrash
Nor did it go to the crowd fund. Only bills over $500 qualify.
We are really good at life saving care, especially end of life. We are very good at keeping people alive artificially. I don’t want sound ghoulish so I will give an example. A person with Alzheimer’s remembers no one in their family anymore. They cannot function, can not feed themselves, or walk. Their body doesn’t remember how to process various processes. TMI. Why on earth would we medicate them to help their body remember? Let them pass dignified and naturally. Reason why we do this? So we can extract upward of $10k a month from the estate in terms of care.
Happy New Year. Nice job on this.
Yeah...No. Our Canadian system isn't nearly as good as most Americans think it is.
Would you prefer the one in America?
No. He was NOT inspired by the Unabomber. Not even close. That sort of downplays who he is and more importantly why he did what he did. You’re assuming he was probably because you saw his good reads and he gave the Unabomber’s book like 4/5 stars or something, right? Well actually he just started a book club in Hawaii & they were exploring books of all kinds of different genres and his buddy suggested the Unabomber’s book to read next just as a topic of discussion. Nothing more. Nothing less. This man is way too educated to just shrug him off as some kid inspired by something that couldn’t be more discounted and irrelevant. Just sayin’.
What is a cilow??? Food for cows🙈
boosting
and whoo ar eyou, Mr. Carney?
Google me.
Your hands look perfectly normal sized to me Mr. Carney.
🤲
4:44 showing Derren Brown as an example of faith healers is poor editing at best.
Government is the problem not the solution.
LOUDER FOR PEOPLE IN THE BACK
Government can be the solution if it is done as it is done overseas. That is why every other first world country has universal healthcare. Because of their governments. Private, for-profit is definitely not the solution. Just look at the mess they have caused.
Its fucked up same way in india.
Why is Joe rogan on the thumbnail twice?
Rogan on the left, Peter Attia second from Right.
@sgcarney i was just trying to be funny. I appreciate the clarification :^)
😂😂😂
Carney is DOUBLY suspicious of Rogan😅
Maybe you are being censored
here in BRASIL health care is FREE
The US had the best healthcare system in the world until the government got involved. If you think what we have is bad now, wait till you get socialized medicine like in Canada and England. It will be all about cutting cost.
BS
@@marktapley7571 That's what the insurance company's do with their denials. I live in a country with free healthcare and the cost is 1/3 of the US system per Capita. And that is not taken account of the large amounts that people in US have to pay out of pocket and get into dept over. Nobody in my country have to file bankruptcy over a helt care bill. Ambulance's are free of charge, staying in a hospital is free of charge and surgery's are free of charge. And it is your doctor who decides what blood work and what screenings you will need. We do not have a perfect system but it is far better than what the US system. I hope that US one day soon will get universal health care, it is a human right and something that a civilised county should have.
wrong
Your commercial is misleading. Our income is around $80,000/year and we still qualify for a subsidy. We pay monthly premiums and we have a high deductible, but we still qualify. Also, did they biopsy your skin cancer??? If not, it was probably just a keratosis that they froze off or a basal cell carcinoma which is non life threatening. I wonder how much you would have paid if you'd needed MOHs surgery.
What state do you live in?
In your intro, are you suggesting that Cally Means actually wanted to encourage violence, even murder? If so, I don't think this is warranted. It strikes me as irresponsible and delusional.
Is that what I suggested?
You are 'reading' something into the intro that simply isn't there.
Carney was drawing a correlation btw something Means happened to say, FIGURATIVELY- that happened to then play out LITERALLY, IRL.
Stop putting words into someone's mouth (in this case Carney's) - that isn't there.
@sdjohnston67
HA! More like you, yourself, are being irresponsible & delusional with YOUR suggestion.
Do you ALSO accuse newscasters of 'suggesting violence' when they describe violent criminal acts as they announce current news events?
I’m emotional compelled by this stance but (I know ppl will scoff) after hearing debates with Destiny, amount few others, I’m not so sure it’s this cut and dry. Theres some merit to this but the claims of massive claims denial are mostly unsubstantiated and the courts have decided this on many such cases. It’s more nuanced.
@@Knardsh Not nuanced. Overly complex and with too many middle men taking their cut. Combined with the corporate responsibility to always make a profit prices are driven higher. When there is a single payer you have leverage to negotiate costs.
so when United Health's denial rate went up 10% under Brian Thompson, that was just incidental?
They cover a lot of Americans. That 10% is a lot of people denied claims.
@@AriWeismanchester destiny is wrong. i worked in utilization management and the state overturned their denials more than 50% of the time at least. NYC Health and Hospital sued them and won. Destiny is not a good source for information.
❤❤❤
Crowd Health, maybe in California it works but elsewhere……… And to walk around with hundreds of dollars in your pocket 😂😂😂😂…. Okay, good luck with that.
Hugely stupid question: IF your ELECTED politicians cared, why not copy-ish in an americanized version of Universal healthcare in Europe? (not Big bad Communist Russia which as a French I hate now bc of Ukraine, but it's another topic), but basically any European country???? It had already been proved again and again that people are happy with that!
(terrifying note: I have been terribly sick (4 different diseases) in the last 10 years, my French Healthcare system (7th in the World struggled to keep me alive - I nearly died twice, even 4 times), and unfortunately it was rare diseases so the doctors were "we don't know"....."But we'll treat the symptoms and keep you alive.
I would be DEAD, if I had been born and stayed in US - just this terrified me in going to your country, lives don't matter: black, white, blue, purple...... Sad you terrible things but you amazing thing (you are a bit extreme, let's honest).
And as child of a healthcare provider mother and social care exec in France, I still don't understand why you don't study the other healthcare and create a MUTUAL fund (or maybe multiple MUTUAL funds) and pay them with the necessary promesses and possibility to fired the people you put in charge (super important, a lot are greedy and/or power angry) and go from there. Social media is here for you (OH and no one should get super rich in Insurance/healthcare: my parents were upper middle class, also my dad manage 300 person and was the big boss at the social exec association - in France, this is not the Pashto make money, go sell bad and any luxury BS for that)
