@@verloser Obama did get revoted. A lot of people probably want him to have a third term, but he isn't allowed to run for a third term because there's term limits.
Exactly Their not OUT of the Solution. They WERE and STILL are part of the problem. They. Big corp Insurances Didn't want ACA to pass because it took control of the people and money away from them. But in order to get get SOME measure of the act passed the owners of the bill had to concede and compromise with those lobbying for Big Corp insurance companies. So a loop whole fir them was carved into it so they can play. Once they were back in they slowly started raising rates. Using frivolous lies or in some cases No reasons. This video illustrates how little people know about whose pulling their strings. Florida has the largest number of people on ACA. Yet consistently vote against their own rights. I Don't get it.
My wife and I would have been without health insurance since 2020 without the ACA. Thank God Trump and his friends in congress failed to repeal it in 2017 thanks only to John McCain, may he rest in peace. My deductible seems pretty small compared to the cost of surgery for prostate cancer.
And never will because Republicans by nature are not capable of seeing the benefit to the working poor of having better health care access. $16,000 was the median average for that Kentucky county? Wow, that means plenty of people making less than $16,000 a year in income. Hard to live on that.

I went to the hospital. On January 2, 2019, I had an exam early in the afternoon and I expected to be back home for supper. But after looking at the results of the exam, the hospital personnel said "We keep you". I came back home on February 20th after heart surgery. Then there was a complication due to a prescription error and I was taken to the hospital in an ambulance in dire emergency in the second week of March. My heart stopped... After it was re-started, they kept for me another 3 weeks. There were kinesitherapy, medication, surgery, readaptation, a long convalescence. Back home, I benefited of two months of home care by professional nurses. Now I am healthy and feeling well. Guess how much it cost me? Guess first then keep on reading after... OK : total : $13.00 parking for my car. If you don't understand I'll explain it in two words : I'm Canadian!
the implication alone that it was American Healthcare made me read the cost at 13,000. Then when I read Canadian, I scrolled back up and saw $13.00 Mercy and Goodness!
Same here in Australia I had to have a MRI scan I was flown to Perth because there is no MRI machine here it's a 2000 mile round trip had the scan put up for the night it cost $0
Kudos to Obama for publicly saying if Republicans could repeal and replace Obamacare with a better plan he would publicly acknowledge it and support it. Sounds like he's for the American people and less about partisan politics to me

Taxes are the backbone revenue of any government dating back to ancient civilizations, it may not support human rights most of the time but would you rather live in a ordered society or one with no governing body?

Obamacare created a pseudo monopoly where healthcare systems and insurers can inflate as much as they wish. Medicare for all would create a situation where instead of a hospital negotiating different rates for different insurers (claiming each one is the rock bottom best they can do), they would only be dealing with the government, most likely driving prices down. Politicians and pundits will of course start screaming about how raiding taxes are only answer, and people will buy it, since the majority are unable to see beyond the false dichotomy presented to them. The taxes (if they needed additional for funding) could be applied to pharmaceutical companies (during opioid crisis the idea of taxing each pain pill was presented and swiftly shot down, but something similar). Or I may be wrong or over simplifying
First we need health care providers (hospitals, etc.) to stop charging exorbitant fees. Good luck to anyone who's unfortunate enough to be hospitalized even for a short time. Take a look at the itemized bill... there's the whole problem with the U.S. healthcare system.
President Lyndon B. Johnson once said, "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." WAKE UP AMERICA, LOL
I live in South Carolina and working class white people on welfare here refuse to believe that white people are the largest racial group on welfare. They also don't like to call it welfare. They say "oh no, I'm not on welfare, I'm on SNAP" or "oh no, I'm just on WIC". I know a woman who has 4 kids and her family has been on WIC for 12 years!
I'm for "free" healthcare, but its not really free. Instead of paying directly when you need it, taxes go up and the government handles the bills for you. Most people don't want increased taxes even if they would pay less money for healthcare overall.
@@oliverhorn7884 but it costs less lol. I pay about 2% of my taxes for my universal 100% medicare coverage in Australia. I get better coverage and pay less overall than Americans with insurance. This simply comes down to people being to stubborn to realise universal healthcare is better, more efficent and costs less.

@@codyanderson6249 it was working super well, my friends grandma used to pay 5 dollars a month to be completely covered. Not free but efficient, when you declare something a right you get less of it, the quality goes down and price goes up. When Medicare and medicaid were passed, my friends grandmas doctor started increasing his prices on her bill. She confronted him and he said that its nothing to worry about since it was covered by the government. It was working so well but electives tried buying votes by promising free Healthcare instead. You see how it goes downhill from there? If the US stuck to the principles of the constitution we'd be 20 times ahead of every other country. Healthcare food shelter etc. Are not rights for a reason. If the government monopolizes anything it will always be done inefficiently. Free market capitalism with private charity, soup kitchens, churches etc. Is the most optimal and moral system.

I want to feel bad for these people, but I can't. You are going to vote for someone simply because they say they can " repeal and replace it with something better" all they said was that it is BETTER without having a plan to prove that its better. I really don't feel sympathy for these people. We all have one vote and you used your vote to vote against your own interests, to bad so sad.
If you feel no sympathy for those people, perhaps you're not quite different from their lack of empathy with those who were negatively affected by the Trump effect.

They voted for him, I feel bad for people that knew better and didn't vote for him but will still be negatively affect by the repeal of Obamacare.
Nonetheless, what you're doing is selective empathy, which is pretty much what those people do (they just care about themselves & their social sphere or their bigot 'acceptable classes', completely ignoring those they deem as wrong in certain aspects such as politics [or being born wrong]). You're not as bigot as they are, definitively. But you're no less selective.

What amazes me is that the republican party continues to attack the ACA when it's overwhelmingly popular. It's just bad politics for them and they still do it. The protections for pre-existing conditions and the Medicaid expansion in the ACA is extremely popular. All I can think is that the health insurance lobbyists are pressuring them to squash the ACA and they are listening. Otherwise it just seems like horrible politics.

@@AwesomeBlackDude people didnt directly disapprove of affordable care they mostly didnt like the the penalties of not having health care. If you didnt know the penalties for not having it was about 700$ extra in taxes and I believe about 300$ for children which many lower income families couldn't afford, it was helping the middle class that could afford it but with poverty wage familys that couldn't afford even obamacare got disadvantaged even more. It was removing choice which is what capitalism is all about
Health care is a consumer good. Subsidizing consumer goods is not a great business practice. Obama subsidized the Chevrolet Volt with 2.4 billion for the car and 60 billion for GM. GM is now bankrupt. Soooooo should we do the same with healthcare?
It is also easy to point fingers and blame people for a failing empire. I think Obama just followed his direction from John Podesta and some economist that he nodded at during the bailout news conference. Trump was running for a wall to stop the child trafficking at the Mexican border. So far the border has been rebuilt bypassing the Hotel September and other $7/hour room brothels. Mexico has also invested on their side. Unfortunately it is our tradition to take advantage of the world so even if we change the route and look, human trafficking will exist in relation to economic disparity.

A common feeling in Canada is that when life gets hard and times are difficult, we say " thank god we don't live in the states".
George Emil Yeah, that was 40 years ago, the fact that we are still having this argument in the states is stupidity at its finest. Everyone should have a right to free healthcare
They are very gullible and believed a lot of lies and a lot of misinformation coming out from their party of the GOP including Mitch McConnell whose true colors really showed when he said they were not going to pass anything President Obama proposed to help the people. The GOP was spreading so much disinformation and lies even then it started to bring out people's true colors And racism was pretty evident at that time. People could not look past the color of a president who was doing good for the people.
People were fooled and gaslit into believing the orange Cheetos lies as well as Mitch McConnell who stated in front of cameras that they were not, the GOP, were not going to pass anything and they were going to stop any bills that President Obama had to help the people out, especially in Kentucky. Mitch McConnell was a master manipulator and fed a lot of disinformation and lies to the American people in Kentucky. Basically we have a lot of gullible people who believe the GOP and they are not looking into the facts and actually could not look past the color of President Obama. The lady in the video stated Obamacare saved her but she detested the name of Obamacare. What does that tell everybody? Uneducated and low-informed voters who do not know how to research or take the time to find out what their elected officials are really doing and how they vote on issues. Those records should be on a big screen whenever they are up for election to see how they voted to take care of their constituents.

Affordable Care Act “Obama Care” was never meant to be THE answer to health care. It was the best bipartisan bill they could get everyone to agree to. It was meant to be improved upon. It was a stepping stone. I’d like to see it become universal health care. We are literally the only first world country that doesn’t consider health care to be an automatic right, rather than a privilege for the wealthy. I’d like to see the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes, and the military lose a percentage (20%?) to pay for our universal health care.
My wife went through 2 abdominal surgeries in 2014. We didnt pay a dollar for both of them. My 57 year old unemployed neighbour slipped on ice and broke his hip. He had surgery immediately... didnt cost him a dime. I'm proud in the fact that I belong to a tax-system where healthcare is a basic human right and not dictated by one's financial situation. We may pay a bit more tax than the average American, but I would gladly do so if it means those less fortunate are taken care of when they get sick. I am never moving from Norway.
mahdogzbite I agree with this. I live in Canada and we would never give up what we have. I don't think we pay more because we cut out the insurance costs...the money for health care comes out of our taxes and not out of our pockets For example, the man whose deductible is $2000....that's about $500 less than the average cost per person for health care where I live. And that includes all prescriptions, co-pays, supplementary insurance fees, and dental. $3400 per person in Canadian dollars. The problem is the insurance. It isn't actually paying for care and they pay those premiums whether they get care or not.
Margo Channing Not the insurance companies who deny basic health care for the penniless, thats for sure. But to answer your question, society paid for everything. And with society I mean all of us. Even my neighbour who was a bus driver for 28 years, he paid too.

This is why I love living in Canada. All these "downfalls" that you commonly hear from American's arguing against single payer health care are greatly exaggerated and often bring up the exceptions as oppose to the rule. More than happy to pay higher taxes for this system.
@@taliesinhalliday Well apparently Bloomberg doesn't seem to think Chump is a Billionaire. In fact, I've heard this a lot here in NYC by people that know him. They all said he's a liar. He's not what you think he is and he especially isn't as rich as he's led a lot of people to believe. He did rip off my uncle's best friend for 250K for a construction job he did for him. & Dump have him a 10K check after the job was done and said, "Sue me!" That's the president of the free world. Pretty sad.
“He wouldn’t repeal something that helps so many people. He has kids. (:” He has kids who don’t need health care to be inexpensive. “He’s a business man. (:” And businessmen make their billions by exploiting others to the best of their ability. No one becomes immensely wealthy by being a good samaritan.

Exactly Their not OUT of the Solution. They WERE and STILL are part of the problem.
They. Big corp Insurances Didn't want ACA to pass because it took control of the people and money away from them. But in order to get get SOME measure of the act passed the owners of the bill had to concede and compromise with those lobbying for Big Corp insurance companies. So a loop whole fir them was carved into it so they can play.
Once they were back in they slowly started raising rates. Using frivolous lies or in some cases No reasons.
This video illustrates how little people know about whose pulling their strings. Florida has the largest number of people on ACA. Yet consistently vote against their own rights.
I Don't get it.
My wife and I would have been without health insurance since 2020 without the ACA. Thank God Trump and his friends in congress failed to repeal it in 2017 thanks only to John McCain, may he rest in peace. My deductible seems pretty small compared to the cost of surgery for prostate cancer.
And trump promised he'd replace it with something better, but he NEVER did.
And never will because Republicans by nature are not capable of seeing the benefit to the working poor of having better health care access. $16,000 was the median average for that Kentucky county? Wow, that means plenty of people making less than $16,000 a year in income. Hard to live on that.

I went to the hospital. On January 2, 2019, I had an exam early in the afternoon and I expected to be back home for supper. But after looking at the results of the exam, the hospital personnel said "We keep you". I came back home on February 20th after heart surgery. Then there was a complication due to a prescription error and I was taken to the hospital in an ambulance in dire emergency in the second week of March. My heart stopped... After it was re-started, they kept for me another 3 weeks. There were kinesitherapy, medication, surgery, readaptation, a long convalescence. Back home, I benefited of two months of home care by professional nurses. Now I am healthy and feeling well.
Guess how much it cost me?
Guess first then keep on reading after...
OK : total : $13.00 parking for my car.

Trump has fooled so many people. This is super depressing. We need Medicare for All.
Or ar least lower the price what kind of country is this why do I have to pay like over $6 for a band aid in a medical setting
Obamacare created a pseudo monopoly where healthcare systems and insurers can inflate as much as they wish. Medicare for all would create a situation where instead of a hospital negotiating different rates for different insurers (claiming each one is the rock bottom best they can do), they would only be dealing with the government, most likely driving prices down. Politicians and pundits will of course start screaming about how raiding taxes are only answer, and people will buy it, since the majority are unable to see beyond the false dichotomy presented to them. The taxes (if they needed additional for funding) could be applied to pharmaceutical companies (during opioid crisis the idea of taxing each pain pill was presented and swiftly shot down, but something similar). Or I may be wrong or over simplifying
Especially now.
First we need health care providers (hospitals, etc.) to stop charging exorbitant fees. Good luck to anyone who's unfortunate enough to be hospitalized even for a short time. Take a look at the itemized bill... there's the whole problem with the U.S. healthcare system.

It is also easy to point fingers and blame people for a failing empire. I think Obama just followed his direction from John Podesta and some economist that he nodded at during the bailout news conference. Trump was running for a wall to stop the child trafficking at the Mexican border. So far the border has been rebuilt bypassing the Hotel September and other $7/hour room brothels.

I live in a third world country with free health care. My state just flattened the Corona curve.
And all my life I thought Americans had a pretty good standard of living and was way ahead of us! LOL
Mariya RiYa , There is nowhere health care is free it’s paid for by everybody free at source but paid for !!! But you don’t need money up front for it !!!
@@sandydobbie1255 Well... we pay taxes. So do Americans. Yet they don't have free health care.
Mariya RiYa , You still pay !!! It’s more affordable than in the USA, health in the USA has been turned into a money making multi million dollar industry !!! If yo have no money in the USA you have no health care !!!
No we're not not under Trump's leadership with not!!
lol America is good at marketing and polishing turds. America has a worse standard of living than many 3rd world country. the US IS a non-free third world country. The only thing it has going for it is a big military. Thats literally it. 80% of Americans cant come up with an unexpected $400 expense, and are living paycheck to paycheck. they are a few missed paychecks away from living under a bridge.
First time listener to VOX. Great idea to do a program like this. Desperately needed to show the stupidity of people, which, by the way, includes millions of seniors voting for the Reps, to vote for office holders who will stab them in the back. Really, what is wrong with those people???? This program also shows the UTTER ignorance that is so wide spread in America, worse than in the Third World. As a German American, who lives half of the time in Europe/Germany, after a life time among Americans both in the US and Germany, I have yet to understand the uneducated simple mindedness of nearly 50 percent (Republican voters) of Americans.
I really can't feel sorry for someone who blatantly shot themselves in the foot.
They'd prefer to trust a white man with a history of shady, self--serving dealings, over an educated black one offering them what they need. Mind boggling.
Joseph C. I agree. I don’t have any sympathy for anyone whining about healthcare who was against Obama. He actually did something that saved lives. Trump supporters deserve what he gives them. And we all know what that is.
@@ZPD-doo-DAH He out foxed the Republicans and took their Healthcare plan created by the Republican think tank THE HERITAGE
FOUNDATION what we know as the ACA, but was originally used by MItt romney when he was governor of Massachusetts . Later to
be adopted by Obama and the democrats. Leaving us still stuck with their Big Pharma buddies and the for profit Health Insurance
industry and we still pay more for less each year. The only way you will fix our Healthcare system is get the for profit motive out of
it. Medicare for All. BERNIE2020!!!!!
Its so sad that they actually believe Trump cares about poor people. Subsidized health insurance is better than none and putting all your chips on a guy who says he's gonna replace it without any sort of details was incredibly dumb.
Chelsea B. Interesting, how are you feeling? Do you actually care, or is that what you tell people.
Chelsea B. Tell me, how much did Hilary care about poor people exactly??
hes gonna keep it until they find a better system
Son of Anarchy she cared enough not to threaten to repeal it when it helps millions. that would do more harm than good. that's the obvious answer
You'd have better odds if you gave a random crackhead standing on a corner in Las Vegas some money and ask him to gamble with it for you and to come back give what he won, then the GOP replacing the ACA... All these dumb Americans that voted for Trump are gonna be in a real shock when they find out that he doesn't give a crap about them...
I'm a 71 year old African American Army retiree and find it difficult to understand the degree of hatred that exist in America. The Antic Shop owner was a glaring example of that hatred even though it may have saved her life! Dr. Martin Luther King once said, "THE TWO MOST DANGEROUS THINGS IN THE WORLD ARE SINCERE IGNORANCE AND CONSCIENCIOUS STUPIDITY!" Senator McConnell said the very night President Obama was elected that he was going to make him a one term President and pledged to NOT WORK with him. I served under many Presidents and Officers in the Army and NEVER took my opposition to their leadership to that level of outright hatred! The insurance industry is all about profits in America and they don't want "AFFORDABLE HEALTHCARE"!! The Republicans know this and play silly little games with the most vulnerable and collect fat campaign checks while telling their constitutes a damn lie!

Ok, no. Calm down. Bernie is as much of a socialist as Rosevelt.

6:53 “He knows money.” Seriously? Doesn’t she know that Trump has declared bankruptcy and a lot of his businesses have failed?
all, not a lot
Also, "he", somehow, managed to LOSE MONEY RUNNING A CASINO...
He started with 400k and is worth an estimated 800k-1.2m. He could've literally let the original money sit in a savings account and with inflation and compound interest been richer. Instead he keeps losing money. Trump voters need to understand, just because someone HAS money doesn't mean they are GOOD with money.
Trump has declared Bankruptcy 4 times!
Aaaaalso, business and healthcare rarely go hand in hand... Having higher profits and growth every year isn't something you can morally seek when dealing with people getting sick, something they willingly ain't choosing to be...
Racism trumps self interest.
"He knows money" filed for bankruptcy twice...
He’s a master of business and thriftyness.
More than twice, actually. And almost all his businesses have tanked.
Believe it or not, he’s actually filed eleven times. As previous commenter mentioned, almost every business he launched has failed.
6 times

Affordable Care Act “Obama Care” was never meant to be THE answer to health care.
It was the best bipartisan bill they could get everyone to agree to. It was meant to be improved upon. It was a stepping stone.
I’d like to see it become universal health care. We are literally the only first world country that doesn’t consider health care to be an automatic right, rather than a privilege for the wealthy.
I’d like to see the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes, and the military lose a percentage (20%?) to pay for our universal health care.
Yup, incremental change. They just hate a black President did something so groundbreaking.
My wife went through 2 abdominal surgeries in 2014. We didnt pay a dollar for both of them. My 57 year old unemployed neighbour slipped on ice and broke his hip. He had surgery immediately... didnt cost him a dime. I'm proud in the fact that I belong to a tax-system where healthcare is a basic human right and not dictated by one's financial situation. We may pay a bit more tax than the average American, but I would gladly do so if it means those less fortunate are taken care of when they get sick.
I am never moving from Norway.
mahdogzbite I agree with this. I live in Canada and we would never give up what we have. I don't think we pay more because we cut out the insurance costs...the money for health care comes out of our taxes and not out of our pockets
For example, the man whose deductible is $2000....that's about $500 less than the average cost per person for health care where I live. And that includes all prescriptions, co-pays, supplementary insurance fees, and dental. $3400 per person in Canadian dollars.
The problem is the insurance. It isn't actually paying for care and they pay those premiums whether they get care or not.
How about Great Britain? I don't know how cool we are, but our healthcare is first-rate...
If you and your neighbor are not paying for your medical treatments and procedures, who is paying?
Margo Channing
Not the insurance companies who deny basic health care for the penniless, thats for sure.
But to answer your question, society paid for everything. And with society I mean all of us. Even my neighbour who was a bus driver for 28 years, he paid too.
Rich because of oil, let's not fool ourselves that all the countries have the natural resources of Norway (and the small population).

@@rickardkaufman3988 the thing it's not called Obamacare officially and it never has. The name got picked up by the media and Republicans to discredit it. It was clearly a mistake Obama should have tried to amend with more intent. But ultimately Republicans will continue to call it Obamacare instead of ACA so that voters who hate Obama, rather stupidly hate the health care just by association.
@@elr492 in addition to this. Obama actually played a part in the ACA. Trump did nothing for the vaccine. He even tried to ignore the virus it was going to help.
