This is not crazy, is pretty normal almost everywhere out of usa. Is called civilization.
Was`n komischer Kommentar. Du sagst hier das die USA nicht zivilisiert ist, oder was!?
@@HenryAusLuebeck the USA are developed but not civilized
@@beaconeersofthesevenmaps3467 In addition, slavery and total exploitation exist in the USA in the 21st century. The rich do not get their necks full and want more and more money, because the rich have the power there.
Neal gettin so excited! - "and he didn't even have any health insurance over there!!"
It's so funny hearing him completely blown away by stuff that's completely normal in the rest of the (modern) World!
US "healthcare" is one of the reasons I won't be going back to the States.
In Europe we have a healthcare system created to make/keep all people healthy, not to make a few people rich, thats all!!😉
Quite simply explained, this is how people are treated here in Europe, as human beings. In the U.S., you put hundreds or thousands of dollars on the table before you get treated, or they send you home.
As a Brit this is expensive. Here you'd pay £9 for the prescription the rest would be free.
That's because as a citizen, it's mostly covered by national insurance, if you're not a citizen like that American isn't, there's usually a payment, especially if you're not insured.
If he was a citizen of that country, it would have been much cheaper, still, each country is slightly different in how they do health care.
But remember, he's an American, getting health care in another country with no insurance and it still works out a lot cheaper than it would in the US.
For Dutch citizens, going to the family doctor is usually free. You only have to pay when the doctor doesn't have an agreement with your insurance company. This will almost never be the case.
As a Canadian... waiting isn't bad. Yes if you go to an ER (AKA go random time, no appointment etc.) there is a wait. Depends on many factors, including your urgency (pain? bleeding? unable to breathe?) but there's usually a few min to hour or so. Cost? Free at point of service. Quality? good. Results? I'm very happy with it.
That said when I needed no critical surgery (remove gall bladder) for intermittent pain (stones) there was a delay getting me to surgery but I saw the surgeon within days for a consult and it was not life threatening... or that urgent.
10:55 “you gotta give up your house” took me out😂😂😂
3.5 thousand $$ for a half n hour visit to the hospital In Kahuku in Hawaii to clean coral cuts !! Travel insurance is a must going to the U.S. peeps 🙂
And that was in 1996 , probably triple that now 😳
I check my insurance waaay more than my plane tickets when going to the US for work.
Not stepping foot on the plane before I KNOW that's all sorted.
crazy how in USA (and i love it for most part) you can go bankrupt for breaking a toe
I remember watching that video, when it first came out, and not quite understanding how big of a difference there is on Healthcare in the US vs the average European country.
But now I've seen Americans having to pay a thousand dollars or more, just to receive a pill at a hospital.
I am in Canada and had 3 surgeries here he still paid more than i did as they cost me nothing
3:00 I met a guy today who walks his labrador every Saturday morning for 30 km - about 18.6 miles (the dog walks, he uses his bicycle). He was back before 10 am.
Can't you apply for Dutch and German heath insurance, for a short visit online now? All of that would be free in Scotland, prescriptions included. Don't think 'pharmacists ' here know the price of meds like that any more. Your waiting times would be longer though. Not that much on the days and times he mentioned, but still. There's always a trade off.
Well, except in America, when you are the trade.
6 miles isn't all that much, that's what I walk over the day at work, and double that biking to and from work.
The German system is based on statutory health insurance, which is obligatory. But you can opt out, if you are either self-employed or make more than 60k Euros per year AND take a private insurance instead. You have to be insured in either case. The rates for different treatments are set by a board composed of the (statutory and private) insurance companies and the DKV, the umbrella organisation of all hospital owners. There is competition between insurances and between hospitals, but not at the expense of patients.
as an italian it sounds already expensive
You can't fix it it Neal because the system is working exactly as it is designed to do, for profit. The healthcare system in the USA is a vast and very powerful industry, and extensively contributes to most - if not all - senators and state representatives offices and campaign funds. This effectively prevents anyone in political office - of any party - from proposing fundamental changes to healthcare provision for the American people because their campaign funding will dry up - passed to an alternative candidate at the next election - and that representative will be on the street. So not one of them will say anything, will they ? Regards
Hi, exactly. And that's why you have to change the whole political system. To tackle the evil by the roots, as we Germans say. Otherwise, they will never get real freedom and human rights, not to mention workers' rights which is a huge part of freedom imo. In Germany, for example, parties are not allowed to accept large donations from giant companies. The election campaign and advertising are also much more modest. They don't throw out huge amounts of money, otherwise all hell would break loose on the streets. :)
@@atconnys8786 Well I'm British - living in Spain now - but there is a broadly comparable system in place in the UK for political funding. I imagine it is much the same right across Europe as part of one of the Treaty's. They are in a real bind aren't they ? A bigger problem is that they don't know it, and don't know of a better alternative after listening to 'The land of the free and the home of the brave' since they were five years old. Most of them have heard of the socialised medicine that we benefit from, but that's socialist isn't it, therefore communist, therefore very bad and not to be considered. Add to that proper employment rights and contracts, proper provision of healthcare, and it is a utopian picture to be afraid of, not welcomed. I do miss the electioneering I'd see whilst travelling around the USA. For Europeans it was simultaneously hilarious and disappointing that an entire population of supposedly educated people - they aren't - actually listen to it and believe what is becoming a very divided political atmosphere. They can't vote for someone else because there is no one else, anyone suggesting things might be different cannot secure the necessary funding. Completely - and unknowingly - trapped. Regards.
And usually it is the people who complain about waiting times and poor care, who have never been out of their own country. Where is the logic?
For me, the only thing I envy is the times. Here, at least in my city in Spain, in the emergency room you can spend 2 or 3 hours to be treated for something as minor as foot pain.
You're waiting 2-3 hours BECAUSE it's foot pain...
Broken bones aren't going to get much worse with waiting an hour either.
Come in with a headwound or something and you'll be helped much faster because obviously.
@@Londronable Of course, I know, I'm just saying that here in the emergency room it takes much longer for simple emergency procedures... maybe not in other parts of Spain. And maybe in other parts of Holland and Germany it will take longer...
Hi, I`m sure the waiting time here in Germany is also longer when the ER is crowded, it will not have been very busy. So no reason to be envious. :)
@@atconnys8786 its prolly all over europe, in czechia they will mostly take small children and serious issues before you if u got something like broken leg or something which doesnt require immedeat treatment
The only thing I was thinking living here in the UK was "oh wow he had to pay?" I do believe foreign nationals do get a small charge for more major procedures but other than his prescription the rest would have been free
I am sooo sad, you are amazing , fun ppl you deserv to live better and in a save country. 🇺🇲🇷🇴
Thanks bro! Great video again! Maybe little old, only about the cash-payment, I think they take also credit cards😁😁😍😍. Yes, it is so sad, that the US does not see health care as a basic human right but as a "license to print money". Although, if Donald Trump would run hospitals, they would be out of business within a year😂😂. And he visited doctors/ER etc. in two different countries. And I do not think the $20 payment to see a doctor is just for non-citizens, I think everybody has to pay the same? Correct me pls if I am wrong. Greetings from Finland!
It will be so greate, the best healtcare in the word. So fantastic..
No other nations on this planet have annything like this, it's just fantastic.
You can not understand how fantastic how the "murican" system is, it's just fantastic ! The best system in the wørld. Its fantastic. No nation is better then "murica" NO nation on the face of the earth... ĵust se how fanastic we are...
Donald Drumph...
Neal: It doesn't make they can do it there and why can't they do it here? Well Neal, bacause of ..... money
Man had a gout attack😅
yeah, you gotta fix it. Good luck, off you go, then
Please react to Mr. Saturday Night by Jon Pardi. Its a really good song
At least in Europe, doctors will only get x rays if they think its necessary, and medication will be prescribed as appropriate for the need, not just to make a profit.
kinda expensive when its free here
Not sure for a non citizen but in the uk a citizen would pay zero for that.
If I recall, I think all none citizens have to pay unless they are insured, unless they become a citizen and build up enough contributions to the health care system where then most things becomes free, still, each country is slightly different from each other in how they handle that.

This is not worth commenting on, and also you would not like what I have to say!
