I've said it once and I'll say it again..... America is not a country, it's a business.
it's not even a business. it's a rip-off.
@@YezaOutcast agreed. But isn't that how a business works? Lots of little people scurrying around barely making enough to survive while a few fat bastards at the top are eating all the pies.
@@YezaOutcast Yeah, it's a racket. A playground for the rich.
Absolutely bang on..
Hey, private insurance companies have to maintain the 30% profit margin needed to pay dividends to their shareholders. 😉😉😉
It wasn't made clear in the original video but the prices the doctor is quoting is the cost to the NHS not the patient. Other than some medications (free in Scotland) we're not liable for any of those costs.
it was but simple comprehension baffles Americans
Women have been giving birth since humans began so the fact that doctors deliver the babies in the US bumps up the price. In the UK a normal vaginal delivery is done by a midwife which is like a nurse but just trained in obstetrics and baby care which prob costs less and we have better outcomes/ mother and baby survival rates than the US
The biggest problem if you live in USA, this is working as intended.
The insurance provider are giving tons of money to the politicians, and what do Americans do when there is a choice between earning money your self or giving something for free?
They will take the money and send the rest of people under the bus.
I'm watching this like it's a TV show and not an actual reality. I cannot even imagine living in a country where this is true...
Yep, the cost of everything makes it sound like he is describing a dystopia
So let me get this straight. If you chop of your finger in the US it would be cheaper to put it in a bucket of ice, book a last minute flight (business class) to any country in Europe, have it fixed there for almost nothing, have a nice diner and fly back and it still would be cheaper than having it fixed in the US.
A terrible thing is - that's actually a thing. Saw a video the other day talking about "health care holidays". Basically, US citizens getting injured and giving themselves a temporary fix, then they fly to a country with universal health care and get it dealt with there.
The part about going to Walmart for saline, can anyone imagine having to insert a cannula needle into a vein also where the hell would you get a needle and cannula, would have to go pharmacy & Walmart lol 😂
So glad for NHS in UK I’m currently recovering from a heart attack and surgery about a month ago, I have major disabilities and can’t work so if I was in America I wouldn’t be here right now
Thank goodness for the NHS
A year ago my wife had a heart attack at work - she works at a fertility clinic, so there were medics on hand. The ambulance was called, and the paramedics stabilized her, got her into the ambulance and took her directly to hospital where they immediately wheeled her into theatre and fitted with two stents, a few days later she had another two fitted and after one week in hospital came home. Home much did that cost us - precisely nothing, not one dime. And because we're both over 60 we get our prescriptions free (they're free for everyone in Scotland and Wales, but I live in England, so it'd cost just under £10 which is around $13). It also helps to have a better work/life balance where we have around 25 days holiday plus the statutory holidays of which there are 8 - I think - in England.
A person got charged 13 dollars for emotional support for crying during a procedure🤔
This video makes me very grateful that I do not live in the USA.
From what I'm seeing here, even if you have health insurance you still end up with a substantial bill.
The most I have ever had to pay in the UK is just over £100 per year to cover my prescription drugs (as I had a heart attack 9 years ago), but as I am now over 60 years old I don't even have to pay that.
Americans lives in La-La-Land - dreaming that they never get sick or injured
I was in hospital a few weeks ago & got scans for breaking my nose, wrist & a concussion. I haven’t paid a thing. I only paid for my ambulance cover insurance which is $38 a fortnight cos I always fall. 😂
I'm English, my girlfriend is American and has had some health issues. Her medical bills just blow my mind. Personally i try and avoid seeing a Doctor even when i'm ill (over 11 years since i last saw a Doctor), but if i did at least i'd not be lumbered with some crazy bill that would bankrupt me. They say America is a free country, in some ways it is, but not with it's healthcare.
Have you seen any of the videos about how much tax you'd owe to the US if you married your GF (even if you never even visited the US)? That country can screw you, and anyone you get close to, from a distance. It's terrifying.
Their laws were made for slavery so it's not a free country just the illusion thereof. If you continously tell someone they're free and morally right then they're less likely to question if they're actually free or being treated fairly
When I had my daughter I needed a c section and had to stop in hospital (in a room of my own) for 7 days cost ZERO post natal costs once I was home ZERO
Hey Dar - I noticed you've been watching videos with people criticising American food. If you're worried about the cost of a heart attack, that might be a good reason to get away from eating regular American stuff.
He is taking about what it cost the NHS not the public but how does it cost so much for the public in the usa 🤔
the cut for the insurance companies is also very high
I mean it depends on your insurance, I have medicaid, but I've never paid a dollar for any of my healthcare other than. Prescriptions here and there, and I've had two children. My best friends boyfriend though, also has medicaid and two holes in his heart and his insurance is fighting tooth and nail to do everything OTHER THAN GIVE HIM A TRANSPLANT. ORGANS ARE DONATED. Aka, free! And I thought doctors were under oath to save lives but I guess the insurance companies aren't.. its sad. Also though, saline is cheap sure the tricky part is successfully inserting the IV needle into a vein. I wouldn't recommend trying that on yourself. Taking them out isn't that complicated, finding the vein and not rupturing it is a different thing.
Holy fuck bro! Bro I didn't know it was this bad!
that's the thing: US citizens usually focus the "socialism/communism" that pay for healthcare in Europe (or basically, anywhere out of the USA), but they seem perfectly fine with the literal extortion in the US healthcare... the same drug/procedure cost way more (by 10? factor) for NO reasons other than to fill the "owners" pockets...
They don't mind being raped for their money as long as it isn't "communism"
Free healthcare is not even a socialist idea it a feudal one.
React to --> "Indian and British Doctors React to US Medical Bills Ft. Kiran Morjaria" thx
And that’s why the USA has one of the highest infant mortality rates in the developed world.
It is so expansive also because doctors in US earn enormous amounts of money. Average surgeon in UK earns 76k GBP (93k USD) a year, while in US it is 411k USD.
Pretty confident part of that is their stupidely long work hours.
What is expected of medical personel in the us would be illegal in most of Europe.
If they could work half of their hours for 205k that might be a good job but they can't.. It's all or nothing.
They could pay me 5 million and I stil wouldn't consider it.
@@Londronable There are no that much difference, in Europe doctors also often work 60+ hours a week
So how's the price of medical training in both countries?
@@blackpowderkun Well there is a big difference here, comparing Harvard and Oxford: Harvard course total tutition is 276k USD while Oxford costs around 60k USD for Brits (citizens and residents), or 175-240k USD for foreigners. In case of british citizens/residents it is also financed by taxes, although tax wedge in UK and US are similar (31% vs 28% according to OECD 2021 report)
Doctors in the US take kick backs from the big PHARMA COMPANIES
It sounde like racketeering to me. You have to pay the man in the middle before you have access to health care.
@@MillsyLM I was of course taking about the American system.
Paying that much for US health care should be criminal. It wrecks peoples lives
The insurance companies deal with the hospital's and the bill gets reduced, sometimes by half, its overpriced for that reason and a lot more, its just greed after that..
Hospitals in America is a business..
The reason that you pay so much for doctor's fees is because probably a good percentage going towards paying back student loans.
Another FREE advantage in europe is Education, you don't pay to go to university.
If that is what it cost the NHS. I wonder how much those procedures would cost using private health care in the UK.
Here in Belgium it's still hundreds and not tens of thousands at least.
probably not much more - because the NHS, being the huge "market" force that it is - drives down prices in the private sector.
So that we DON'T get the ridiculous situation they have in the USA, where the private companies have basically gorged themselves by price-gouging their customers to death. (literally)
Going private in the UK is expensive - but NOWHERE NEAR the criminal charges that US citizens have to suffer
out of these systems, some central European countries are far better when it comes to cost and quality of care. NHS is free but the way these people practice medicine (defensive like hell) you die for no reason. PERIOD.
Probably why life expectancy is lower in America than the UK, cause people can't afford treatment.
listening to this, i really cant imagine why half of the US population didnt die off. these prizes are insane. almost noone could afford to pay these and from an external point of view it seems like the system just doesnt care about medium and low income people. no wonder 1/3 of all go-fund-me campaigns are for medical bills. but....thinking about it, getting money from strangers for paying your medical bills....that sounds almost like socializm to me. the thing is, as far as i've seen it, a lot of US citizens cant tell the difference between socialism and having a social medical system. it's not the same.
I had an accident with an angle grinder and had a serious gash across the back of my hand. As I was on a canal boat miles away from civilization I had to stitch it up myself. apart from having no pain relief I managed it really well & I had no problems with it healing. So, if I can do it with no official training then how can they justify charging that much for a cut finger?
Who cares if poor people die, if they can't afford to stay alive then it's their choice, just as long as that communist health care is kept away from our children, which by the way should be allowed to die slowly through societal neglect, after removing any option of the mother to bring into the world or not, just be impressed by how many billionaires you have, and spare a thought for those aspiring insurance executives and health professionals still having to struggle by as pitiful millionaires. WTF part of any of the above makes any kind of sense in a country that keeps hammering on about it's christian values, what would Jesus do, I would hope he has a stern word with his dad about his pet project. Keep doing what you do Dar, you are opening peoples eyes.🏴☠️
you would pay nothing for a home birth
poor people go to mexico ro canada or cuba to have baby
The costs he is talking about are not what the patient pays in the UK so I am really confused about why this doctor is giving cost comparisons
To compare the rip-off prices that pharmacies and hospitals and doctors charge US citizens or US health insurance companies compared to what they charge the NHS in the UK. To highlight the fact that US medical providers are run for profit rather than run to try and save lives.
All of what they pay for in the UK it’s free on Danish hospitals. It’s also optional for some to give birth at home. Medication is free at the hospital.
He is taking about what it costs the hospital not us
And you can do home birth
Ps it does sound like what it costs the general public 🤟
The costs the doctor is quoting are what the procedures cost the NHS and not the patient. It wasn't made clear in the video to be fair.
Lee totally agree with you there dude
The poor have a lot of babies ... why do you think the insurance premiums are so high in the US? The insurance companies have to get the money somehow.
So 1 person not being able to pay punishes everyone else by raising their prices. Capitalism freedom ;).
Or you could have tax financed health care. Shock horror.
@@johankaewberg9512 Or at the very least free or affordable birth control.
@@johankaewberg9512 Rather pay proper taxes that actually support people compared to the scam system the US is running that dont fund anything worthwhile.
When was the last time the US tax money fixed anything? Except fatten that defense budget.
@@missdragonfire But that's unchristian. And probably communism. /s
@@missdragonfire In Kwa-Zulu Natal (South Africa) the Chemists all started putting out "sweety bowls" in the pharmacies...free condoms. It had an impact in the community - and it's cost? Negligible compared to the costs of unwanted/unaffordable babies born and in STDs. And in AIDS transmission.
Yet it seems that the USA is so divided they'd make it a political/religion-based/ethnic issue and start shooting each other up.
What on earth is it going to take to unify the people of the USA in a common cause? Surely everyone, regardless of any of the above divisions shares a desire for fair working conditions, a roof to put over their heads, the ability to save their children from diseases/illnesses / homelessness/conditions that otherwise are only being funded by Gofundme campaigns?
