Australia DOES have public health care. To say it doesn’t, brings the credibility of this video into question.
They may have put public and private health together so it would not look like a public hospital sector.
G'day Mate! "Only the UK has a public health care system" That is totally incorrect! We have our "Medicare" which all Australians who choose to do so can access and to be honest our system is more user friendly than the NHS while quality is comparable...Cheers!
A story, I was laying in a hospital bed in Australia one night and a doctor doing his rounds comes and sits on my bed and we have a conversation, he is an American doctor and tells me in the States he works a 12 hour shift for 7 days a week and he does the same here BUT he then says, But over there as soon as I finish one 7 day shift I have to start another 7 day shift, out here I get the next 7 days off." He also went on to say he likes to surf and this hospital is close to a beach, so he surfs for the next 7 days and he also says, but the BEST bit is I get paid TWICE as much here. He said he would not be going home. True STORY.
Don’t agree with the last comment that Australia doesn’t have a public healthcare
Australia has public hospitals and Medicare
We also have Private health insurance and Private Hospitals
interesting, thanks for that info.
Yes, I did a double-take on that one too. Australia’s healthcare while not perfect, has compared favourably to other countries. Not sure what criteria they’re working with in this comparison 🤷🏼♀️✌🏼
If you banned high fructose corn syrup from food, you would see a marked drop in not just obesity, but diabetes as well.
That is just the tip of the iceberg here! lol sad but true. I had no idea how close y'all were though.
Not questioning your taste or preferences. Thats totaly personal. You want to to visit Australia but havent been here yet so how can you say you'd rather live in America because of the food when you dont know what the food here is like yet. And I think instead of using the term mileage we use fuel comsumption. Definitely dont use "kilometerage".
GDP, GDP per capita and income distribution are related but there are some nuances that translate to the general populace. There is a lot of wealth and poverty at the same time in the United States. So you have the biggest companies on earth like Apple, Google, Amazon, Nvidia, Facebook, Mc Donalds, Disney etc. and these swell the US GDP and GDP per capita numbers, however a lot of the stock of these companies is held by a narrow cohort of the wealthiest individuals. The US tax and welfare systems, as well as other factors create a lot of wealth disparity compared to Britain and Australia. At the same time, large chunks of these large companies are owned by people from the UK and Australia, either directly or indirectly. For instance, a percentage of all of our retirement schemes is invested in American companies. This works in reverse too, whereby a lot of wealthy US individuals and companies are responsible for 25% of the foreign investment in Australia. So the GDP attributed to that investment is earned in Australia but the profits are diverted to the US. We also have a problem with big multi-nationals like Google and Ikea fudging the figures via loop holes and posting virtually no profits here, despite significant revenues that contribute to GDP, so that the profits can be syphoned off back to their home offices tax-free. Probably the better figures to focus on to work out how the average man in the street is doing is the median income or the median household wealth. I think Australia might just take the lead from the UK if focussing on these measures. The one thing that the US also has in its favour regarding overall GDP is that people get very few holidays and are often forced to work for tips or many extra hours for free outside of the usual 9-5. It is also rare for people in Australia or the UK to need to have a second job to get by, as much as it is common in the US. Also the rest of the world refers to mileage as "fuel economy" and it is usually mesured in litres per 100km to keep things tidy and consistent.
The reason that the USA has a higher GDP per capita than the UK is because individually you are more productive than they are. America has the largest economy in the world. It is indeed something to be proud of, but all three countries are still quite similar (within 15-25% of each other) and should all be proud of their awesome economies...
Thank you for that. That is cool, it's probably because we don't get a lot of vacation time then. I just started selling Subarus and they have a "good" vacation plan... 6 days the first year... I'm shaking me head reading this, I wish we had a minimum by the government. I can take time off and not get paid, but paid time is slim.
@@TheCommodity I just returned to work from an epic 3 week holiday at “Chateaux le Sofa” and a relaxing participation in the fine entertainment offerings of Netflix/Stan/Prime/Disney+/Paramount+/Binge and whatever other streaming subscriptions that I have forgotten. That’s half of my annual leave taken … 😜
@@TheCommodity It’s a shame you only get 6 days the first year. The differences & similarities are so interesting.✌🏼
our Australian public healthcare, is superior to the UK rather than non existent and must be the most uniformed part of the video. it partly explains our increased life expectancy. when i had a car accident and broke heaps of bones and needed surgery it was free and the ambulance was free because of a $30 dollar yearly membership. the pharmaceutical benefits also keep the cost of medication low some that cost hundreds or even more in the USA are only $6.50. the the disability support is much better that in USA or UK. i have had 4 wheelchairs over 45 years and not cost me anything for which i am incredibly grateful for.
Well if you get in a car accident you have car insurance to cover that cost a long with personal insurance. So that probably would be free here too. However your car insurance will go up after that.
@@TheCommodityAussie here and have worked in both health and car insurance call centres, we do not need insurance to cover the emergency care and surgery. It doesn’t even enter the picture when being treated under the public hospital system.
You can use private health insurance, if you have it on top of the public system, which get you a different level of access to more specialty things. However, you will not be denied specialty things under the public health system if medically necessary. The private health insurance get you those specialties when it is optional or you’re choosing elective surgery.
Both health insurance and car insurance in Australia are regulated under legislation and we have politically independent governing bodies that monitor and regulate both industries.
If you make a claim on your health insurance, your premiums don’t go up.
with car insurance, again regulated, there are specific rules on how they can charge your premiums, especially if you’re at fault
Australian federal top regulator : asic.gov.au/for-consumers/insurance/
@@TheCommodity the beauty of our system is i was not insured and did not have pay any insurance at all yet received all the treatments. i hear it is rather expensive in your country to buy insurance and it often has limitations on where you will be treated as well, as heard on numerous other compare videos re healthcare
You will find the food in Australia more diverse than the USA in reality. While this might seem a silly thing to say if you do SOME research you will find this is true.
If the forest comparison was done before USA bought Alaska..it would be more similar to Australia's forests sizes...
true, well... I don't know. Maybe?
@@TheCommodity Australia is the driest inhabited continent in the world; 70% of it is either arid or semi arid land thus not so much forest.
Fuel is measured as litres per 100km’s. So 12 litres per 100 as an example. Most standard sized cars have a tank that will hold approx 60 - 65 litres.
I blame fast foods for the epidemic of morbid obesity, obesity and being overweight. It's not necessarily due to the lack of exercise. Dieting alone attributes to 80% of weight loss. My wife and I have sworn off fast foods and high sugar content foods (and I love my icecream and chocolate) in order to shed those excessive kilograms. We are winning too.The key is portion control combined with measuring calorie intake. Unfortunately fast foods are full of fats, sugars and carbohydrates, the scourge of the fat and obese. I live in Australia.
Comparissons on a limited data base are always difficult and on obesity the stats are not good for all 3 of these countries , The USA ranks as the 14th most obese, Australia 19th UK 29th BUt THERE is not much difference in the percentage actually and some countries are taking steps to address this more than others, for instance, the prevelance of UNDER 15 yo obesity V :adult: obesity is interesting. The sad fact is there are 13 countires that have more than 40% of the adult population as obese.
The video you are quoting from is totally wrong in regard to the health care system saying only the UK has a public health care system, totally untrue, Australia has a public as well as private health care systems. No cost for doctors visits , no cost for hospital or operations in the public system at all. Or you can choose private and pay and get it paid from insurance or a combination of both.
GDP is divided by population for that figure but it is not representive in many ways, mean average is a better way of measuring and these figures change when that is applied.
The UK is not the highest because, as he explained, GDP per capita is GDP divided by total population. Simple arithmetic. You can't argue with it.
Exchange rates also have an impact on these figurs, for instance , 7 years ago the Australian dollar would by US$1-10, by that rate it would have escalated the Per Person measure from the 52 k in here to US$79 k so these figures are best not to be consdiered as a reality comnparrison , instead the Credit Suisse report explains it better.
June 2023 ..LIFE EXPECTANY: Has risen in Australia, has declined in USA has remained static in U K
Australia does have a public healthcare system its called Medicare so they are incorrect on that fact.
The GDP per capita also includes the countries millionaires and billionaires...so the actual GDP per capita for the ordinary people will not be properly represented...especially in the US where there are a lot of rich people and companies boosting the GDP but hiding low paid workers.
That's why even though other countries may have a lower GDP per capita than the US, most of the people there are actually paid more than in the US...making them more well off than the average American.
Medicare is great but not perfect. However we also have private health cover the covers what the public won't.
For the distance a vehicle has travelled since new we call the display the odometer.

Miles could probably come back for the unboxing of the silver play button ▶️
that is the goal! I might buy a fake one on ebay so he can have it!
@@TheCommodity 😆😆
Probably Gdp is higher because the US still has alot of manufacturing, wheras the UK doesn't and up until brexit relied on the rest of Europe. Australia has alot of mining.
Interesting. I didn't think we did a lot of manufacturing in the US. As most manufacturing has been pushed abroad. I'm sure we still do quite a bit here though. Thanks for the thought!
The USA has the highest GDP economy but why does it still pays poor wages and poor health care - hope this is not trash talk lol
poor wages, are changing slowly. As for people that are servers and get paid pennies and live off tips. Most of them don't want to make a typical wage and get rid of tips. If you are good at customer service a waiter friend of mine makes a six figure income. He has a masters degree and stuck with being a waiter. Our health care isn't poor it is just expensive.
@@TheCommodity - sorry mate wrong choice of words re Health Care - yes extremely expensive. Is there a reason why the USA has no Free public hospitals. Does it come down to the size of ur population.
If I had to go through all my Cancer treatment I went through in the last 3 years in the USA - I don’t know how I would have paid for it or if my insurance would have covered it all
But in Australia it was all FREE apart from about $500.00 for pain medication tablets when I was at home
Land MaSS.......THIS IS A BIT MISLEADING.... Contiguous USA , IF you take out the lakes and rivers actually is LESS in area than Australia, very interesting.
Yeah plus you're leaving out Hawaii and Alaska.
@@TheCommodity AND you are leaving out Heard Island, Chrismas Island, Cocos and Keeling islands, I was trying to point out CONTIGUOUIS USA.
ECONOMY: GDP is a measurement but it is one of three that are valued as a measure and only in GDP is USA preponderant, in the other two measures it doesn't make the top ten list. Australia on the other hand is number one and two on the other two measures. If you are a USA ian think of it like this, do you consider the avergae person in the USA better off then in China? Of COURSE, well that is what the other measures are about and unfortunately the USA does't fare excellent in those measures, good but NOT excellent. For an in depth look I recomment the ANNUAL Credit Suisee Report..."wealth of Nationas"
I think all 3 countrys will be loosing weight with the price of food these days
Facts!!!
Not necessarily. A bunch of celery is now $5 or so in Australia, up from days I can remember when it was 99c to $1.99. You actually lose calories eating celery. You can however get a meal from McDonalds with large fries and Coke for $10 and that will generally fill you up but also cause you to gain weight. If you had very little money to your name for a meal, I bet most people are going to choose a McDonalds feed over a few sticks of celery. It is weird how the economics of this situation pans out in reality.
@@mrd4785 l got a 5kg bag of potatoes for $ 4.98 in a Melbourne fruit shop very nice grown in thorpdale vic ..l don't like celery...
Australia has a public healthcare system. Ours is called Medicare whereas the UK is the NHS. Obviously this commentator wasn't into much research other than published stats...
I really wish we had one. But a group of people don't want it. Mainly because they see a lot of Canadians cross the border for our health system. Because it takes them to long to see a specialist or get seen for major surgery. We don't have a real big wait for anything at a hospital. If there is a major surgery or procedure needing to be done, they will just take you there right at that moment and take care of it. So they are fitting and don't want to see the hike in taxes, as most countries with universal health care has much higher taxes than the US.
What happened to the other dude?
what i was thinking
He just doesn't want to do it anymore. He has full custody of his daughter, and no longer lives with someone to watch her. I'm just guessing, we never really talk about it. I asked if he wanted to come back but he said nah. There really isn't much money to be made in reaction videos.
I would love to see Miles return, even on a part-time basis. The on-screen chemistry between you two worked so well that it was really disappointing for me and probably many others when he left.
I agree 100% one day he stopped coming. I will bring it up and he will just change the conversation. I will keep on working on him!
Fezz stop going to kfc
What are you talking about? are you calling me fat?
@@TheCommodity not fat mate buddy pal just heavy ..did you know muscle is heavier than fat..well that's my excuse. Have a nice day or night what ever it is in the land of the free ..did some one say free burgers ..lol.😂
I have lost 20 lbs. in the last 10 days. I'm working on it. I also have a fat face, I can lose a ton of fat and still have a fat face. one thing that i really am self conscious about.
tell me... why is the USA no one. what are you number one in... I would love to know... because you might be a little bit wrong.. but hey I do not argue. You obviously know nothing about my country Australia >>>> and I would not say my country is the best EVEN IF IT WERE. ITS CALLED.. humility
Australia…Perfectly imperfect. Love my country❤️🇦🇺
I have no idea what you are trying to say. Not trying to be a dick just can't tell.
