This is one of the worst interviews I ever watched. Sorry, but you did a horrible job letting this guy talk without questioning his responses. Go to 12:10 in the video. You let him ramble on about the cost of healthcare without asking him why the cost of healthcare is so expensive. Who owns our "healthcare assets" and why are we letting them charge us so much to put us in debt?
DOGE can only succeed IF THE MEDICAL MONOPOLY is broken and the INFLEXIBITY of the "Standard of Care" System gets "hammered to death". $2 Trillion a year must be trimmed here over the next 4 years.
I worked as a statistician for several insurance companies and Marc Andreesen the General Partner at A16H could not possibly be less informed about the state of healthcare in the USA right now. The class warfare is a lie, which is always has been, but the USA healthcare system has been completely corrupted by the government and insurance. Marc honestly needs to go get 3 doctors drunk, and get them to talk about insurance. They will refuse at first, but you need to get them to open up, and they super super hate the insurance companies for turning their health care into dollars and manipulating and controlling them. After talking to 3 doctors who will inform you that the system is screwed up, go get 3 actuaries or statisticians drunk, and they will explain the corruption of how it works.
Will the doctors admit why they decide to charge someone's monthly salary for a relatively simple procedure? They need to look into the mirror if they want to know where the greed is.
@sojourner99 True, I found a doctor that accepts whatever the insurance company pays. So I only pay my $10 copay. The doctor billed 75k and my insurance paid 50k. When I called the office I was informed they don't charge the balance to the patient. If all doctors and offices just accepted whatever the insurance company paid, patients wouldn't be upset.
@@sojourner99because just like the insurance companies don’t like paying us, they don’t like paying the doctors either. They strong arm the doctors/hospitals into contracts with low pay so the doctors can be “in network.” “In Network” just means the doctors accepted the shitty deal the insurance companies offered them. So, the doctors raise prices and those without coverage or out of network are were the hospitals make their profit. If it were doctors being greedy, we wouldn’t have an issue in this country with bankrupt hospitals. We see what doctors bill insurance companies. What we don’t see if how much the insurance actually pays the doctors and how much they have to just write off.
Watching this guy fumble through making excuses for why people are angry at the healthcare system while having a massive vested interest in the status quo is pretty laughable. People aren't anti-capitalist, they are anti-unregulated monopoly that has permeated every level of government.
Monopoly capitalism isn't capitalism. Leina Kahn is the only person in a decade to attempt to do anything about it, but Trump is about to replace her with someone awful.
@@stickjohnnyyeah Trump is pissing me off. Half his picks are AWESOME and I’m truly exited. The other half is worse swamp than before. Trump during his first term did some things AMAZING that would never have gotten done or changed, and the. Does some things the COMPLETE opposite and terrible….
Totally had the same thought. Yes, we have an aging populace, yes, healthcare in general is expensive, but the thing he doesn’t want to say is that we have a health system taking advantage of people to turn a huge profit for the insurance company’s shareholders. It’s causing us to have the MOST expensive healthcare in the world and we’re not seeing the results of it in our health metrics. Gotta keep increasing that bottom line! Who do we f*** over next!?
I believe he wants to confirm all of our worries of how corrupt the Democrat party is. I've watched a couple of his interviews and they are really good. Imo
I think when someone appears on JRE their name recognition goes through the roof and then all the smaller shows try to get them on so that their show can grow. Marc is probably overwhelmed by requests right now.
First: his team has come to power. Second: he’s doing important PR for AI and Tech, creating a good image. We must believe that they are creating a better future with AI, that healthcare will get cheaper. Even though their real focus is on warfare and surveillance.
@@stiffmeistercharlie1758 His “team” in power is actually pretty hawkish on AI acceleration. Musk has long wanted guardrails around AI development. I agree with Andreessen’s talk around EAcc, but his firm’s stakes in major foundational models give him direct incentive to shape regulation in his favor. Regulation is coming in one shape or the other and he knows it. Never trust a capitalist claiming high ground for the benefit of society. He is there to make money for his LPs at the end of the day.
How can you have a discussion about the cost of Healthcare in America and completely gloss over the fact that it's much cheaper in other countries? He acts like people are too stupid to realize that their taxes would pay for Medicare for all, but that's not the issue! Look at the cost of insulin in Europe vs. America BEFORE INSURANCE. Consider that in the US your insurance is tied to your job, so if you get too sick to work and REALLY need insurance, that's when you lose it. Or the fact that if you're dying, you can't just decide not to have the care; its a NEED and you have to pay whatever they charge. And you can't make informed decisions because there's no way to know what a procedure will cost before you're billed. If they code something wrong, you have no recourse. You can appeal it, but no one is holding these companies accountable. They just deny your appeal. People are literally dying and going bankrupt because of a problem all other developed nations have solved. All this boiled down to, "Nobody wants to pay for it!" Edit: I want to reiterate that I'm saying Healthcare is cheaper in other countries BEFORE INSURANCE. For instance a vial of insulin in Europe costs $10-40 and in the US costs $275. What does that have to do with taxes? Thanks for reading, this is my first ever rant 💙
Health insurance is literally an unnecessary middle man, so much of the US medical industry is already subsidized by the government. Our grandparents were taught to get the shotgun for insurance salesman. A government should be able to help it's people in a way that Insurance is never needed. Insurance is a perpetuated scam.
1. Its not cheaper. The systems are still grifty, and the cost is being subsidized by the entire nation. All that does is change where the grift happens. 2. We don't have "healthcare". We have "sickcare". All of these systems, US or elsewhere, are incentivized to keep people sick, and dependent on their services and pharma. All we need to fix literally all of this is to allow independent medical providers to exist, meaningfully. NDs have outrageously better outcomes, and yet they are still being fought against by the establishment, for example.
As an MD I think ND’s should play a far greater role in educating people how to avoid sickness. I still spend half my time with a patient encouraging them to make the lifestyle and food choices that will prevent future deterioration, whilst treating what brought them in as well. Easily 80-90% of illness is preventable. You need healthcare to manage the 10-20% that cannot be avoided yet.
We have universal healthcare in Australia but we have higher taxes than the US and much higher prices for everything to pay for that . I use the old iTunes as an example. A song was downloaded online, not a physical product but cost us $1.69 whilst the US paid 70 cents. Do that to everything and now you know how much it costs to run it. In saying that, a guy can work all his life in a low end job, get hit by a drunk driver and he gets life saving care and rehabilitation all on the tax payer.
I’m glad Marc broached the question of delegation and Elon’s approach. Delegation isn’t the opposite of micromanagement. It’s a question of context, strata, formal/informal influence, courage, visibility, risk taking, etc. It’s a rare leader who has these qualities.
Half of all personal bankruptcies are caused by medical bills. This is not just a simple economic issue that solving a tax table or changing insurance models will easily solve. We have the most expensive medical care in the world and the least effective in terms of life expectancy. We are the most polarized nation economically in the world… The wealthiest,and the lowest life expectancy in terms of our overall wealth because medicine is seen as another for profit industry. It wasn’t for profit when I was growing up in the 60s. Hospitals are still deemed to be nonprofit and yet with exorbitant amounts of money they make the big ones are able to buy up all the smaller ones that are going bankrupt. We have become a nation where wealthy people don’t begin to pay the taxes they used to during those years. And keep in mind the US economy was thriving in the 50s and the 60s and a good deal of the 70s. It’s easy to be glib about our current situation. But millions upon millions of people are suffering terribly. They have insurance that they pay huge monthly premiums for and then when they need medical care, they are denied again and again. The system is a mess and is basically rigged.
As an Australian, I'm horrified by the American health system. Our government offers free or affordable medical insurance that is compulsory for all but the wealthy. Completely free services like the NHS also have problems of long waiting lists, I do think our system is better because everyone has a safety net judged on their current circumstances.
also, planet has too many people currently living on it. David Rockefeller said this was humanity's biggest problem, as they see it. so you have the wealthiest people on the planet think like this, and have resources to do something about it. in other words, there is a huge incentive to NOT increase life expectancy. the public can't handle the reality of the situation.
@@digitalsamurai42 I know that, and that's why the Rockefellers built the UN building, they want to reduce the population. In 1952 British communists wrote a book lamenting that the British workers would not rise up to overthrow the means of production whilst they had the comfort of electricity in their homes and factories. They concluded they needed a global reason to restrict the use of electricity. Then came global warming.
11:43 dude Chris’s totally miss-characterizing it. It’s not about them not paying people out. It’s about them denying care completely and people dying.
At this point, we are talking about 100s of thousand a year minimum that should be alive that are not specifically due to denial and diminishment of care

8:04 What what…. Stop being divisive… people of all political ideologies were championing Luigi. I guess you have not seen the shambles of Ben Shapiro’s comment section. I know they lost subscribers that day. It is actually corporate media not giving him shine.
US citizens pay 2.5 times for thier health, but have the lowest life expectancy and the highest child mortality, in comparison to the rest of the developed world (Europe etc.).
We eat garbage and don’t take care of ourselves. Our medical system is second to none. (If you have insurance to pay for it) But all the doctors in the world aren’t going to cure bad living.
You literally have no idea what you are taking about. The optimism is due to more pro-business regulations and reforms. Which is a a good thing. You want smart people in charge.
@@nlonal Sure, his optimism is due to more pro-business regulations and reforms. But nicommmm is correct and is only explaining the outcome. What THE PEOPLE want is more pro-working class regulations and reforms. Also, more dollars does not mean more intelligence.
"Ideologically motivated" right ? Because when you or a loved one are dying and your health insurance refuses to honor their end of the deal, your anger and frustration are nothing more than "ideological differences" These billionaires are so out of touch.
Sincere question ...can you tell me what you mean by refusing to honor end of life requests? Is this medical insisting on continuing care vs. withdrawal of life sustaining means?
But that's a lie. He was not insured by that company, nor was anyone he knew. He also wasn't screwed over by an insurance company, but by a hospital. He's just a loser and its his ideology that motivated him.
@TruthSeeker-z1t my mother-in-law passed last night from organ failure caused by heart failure caused by United Healthcare not addressing her heart needs. And sending her 5 hours from her home to see a heart doctor. I imagine it made her out of network they got more money up front. And they have to pay nothing in the back now America sucks these days they want the AI so that Corporation never has to answer the phone again to a disgruntled customer. Ode to customer service.
Can’t listen anymore after the way this guy talked about the healthcare issue. It’s not just that “some” people were getting denied insurance payments… it’s that insurance denials went up astronomically since this guy had been in charge. They were using an ai model with a huge error rate, they knew, but didn’t care because profits were soaring. These are things that need to be addressed.
Guys like Marc Andreessen, Elon Musk, etc. got "mega rich" by being extremely smart, extremely hard working, and extremely productive... their opening opinions carry weight, and rightly so.
@@6663000 Yeah, but they clearly have ZERO motivation to improve corrupt medical system, while technology is still years away to make fundamental change. They just defend system as it is, so what's then a point of such interviews?
@@6663000maybe not. Maybe being a spectrum narcissist removes them from understanding what the purpose of life actually is. If their answer is productivity alone then they’ve already disqualified themselves.
@@6663000 - generally speaking, yes. I like both of these guys. But in this case I think Marc is off base, There is clearly something deeply wrong with our medical industry. Something so wrong that I wonder sometimes if those in charge are _actively_ trying to kill us.
@6663000 don't forget lucky. Almost all billionaires are where they are because of 1: right time 2: right place All those other things help though. No doubt. Men listening to billionaires for life direction is like women listening to the Kadasians for advice on life.
Marc acts like if healthcare is paid by taxes then everyone gets healthcare for free. What kind of elitist insanity is this. Seems like most people are paying a lot for healthcare or how would his friend Brian’s company have had made profits in the millions. And we don’t hate technology. We hate you guys that think technology is the be all and end all of human achievement and that you guys should be running everything. Just because you create something with low COGS and high profit margins doesn’t mean you should be running government and be in charge of social policy which you clearly have never engaged in other than your current NIMBY fights and condescending podcast appearances.
On the flipside… Some of the transformative new tech, is going to be great. There will, at first, be lanes for self driving cars exclusively and when people realize how safe they are, it will be a no-brainer.
Marc acts like if healthcare is paid by taxes then everyone gets healthcare for free. --That is the opposite of what he said. It's pretty dumb for you to presume that he's dumb.
This guy gives me the ICK, needs a speech course on "you know", probably nervous from speaking AROUND the elephants in the room, and come on Chris, show some backbone and pressure him a little bit.
1:23:14 The UK made a political decision around productivity (if memory serves) that small entrepreneurs, lifestyle businesses, self-employed “gig economy” people, etc were less good for productivity than large companies and so they systematically attacked, removed or restricted any provision for them in order to force people to grow their business or get a job with a large company. These seem like the kind of decisions that bureaucrats make when they make “logical” decisions based on data and the fact that it is protectionist towards pre-existing companies probably doesn’t hurt either. In reality it’s like trying to create premier league footballers by closing all your youth training camps…ie not very logical.
Amongst the many red flags in this interview, the biggest should be Andreesen's reference to his friend Curtis Yarvin and Yarvin's description of the problems of this country. For those who don't know, Yarvin is opposed to the idea of democracy.
I could be wrong, but I think it was Yarvin who said America needs to get over its dictator-phobia. All of these guys subscribe to the idea that democracy is inferior. And for them, it is. Their freedom is hindered by laws intended to protect people. Their power is diluted when everyone is given a vote. But I think that stage of the game is over now. They’ve won. What we’re seeing now is the next stage of the game, played amongst themselves to see who gets to sit at the top.
Not to mention a “nuanced” view of slavery. Yarvin has terrifying views, and I say “terrifying” because absurdly powerful people (e.g. JD Vance) pay attention to him. Several people just one degree of separation from the presidency have views that include “women should never have been allowed the vote.” I’m not worried about Trump… I’m worried about Vance’s connection to people like Thiel, Yarvin, and Andressen. None of them give a damn about the needs of most mere mortals. But maybe the tech/oligarchs will only be convinced by finally getting their “dreams” fully realized. Eventually, there’ll be nobody left who can afford anything they have to sell.
The disparity between the present and the 1970s is stark. The United States has shifted from being the one of the most egalitarian society relative to its peers to the least egalitarian. A nation characterized by equality is less likely to experience collapse; conversely, significant inequality coupled with pervasive economic distress fosters widespread distrust in institutions, which serves as a catalyst for civil unrest.
Are you insinuating that the US was one of the most egalitarian countries in the 70s? I strongly doubt that but would be pleasantly surprised if I needed to update my worldview. Please share evidence and argument, thanks.
@@simonnilsson5356 I did edit my response. A more accurate answer is that we were similar to our peers in East Asia, Oceania, and Europe until 1970, when we separated out and became much more unequal.
It sounds like he has a tic which he has no control over. So you choose to make sarcastic comment about someone. Have you ever had people do that to you? Sounds like an issue you might want to look at. I hope you’re able to resolve it. Treat others the way you’d want to be treated. If more people would it would be a much better world. You will get back what you put out to the world. Maybe not in this lifetime but down the road, maybe in another lifetime, you will learn to have more compassion for others. It will make your life easier.
The US health system does not need new technology as much as patients need to eat healthy, sleep, exercise, and stop drinking. Healthcare can’t make up for a sedentary life of junk food and poor choices.
That reminds me of a comic I saw: Doctor: You have a disease caused by your lifestyle. Patient: Should I change my lifestyle? Doctor: Not at all, here is a pill.
United healthcare reported a profit of $22 billion in 2023. For insurance that’s mandated by the government. You can’t laugh this off. This is absolutely extracted. Profit, not revenue
Offing a healthcare CEO isn’t going to achieve anything. There needs to be structural solutions, to which the dems never agree to because “All hail obamacare”
Painting the left as bloodthirsty is wild. Both sides cheered when that man was shot. Paraphrasing someone obviously here but “it’s up vs down not left vs right”
The real “they live” moment is when you realize “up vs down” *IS* the OG leftism and the wealthy have to distort “left vs right” to mean something else to distract from what leftism originally was.
My problem wîth new technology is that it is adopted without clear understanding of the consequences. Climate change as a consequence of new technology was not forseen 200 years ago. What kind of troubles might we be setting ourselves up for now?
I don't think that's a long enough time horizon to judge. This is attempting to turn around the Titanic under fire from machine guns. Come back in 5 years.
Marc doesn’t sincerely believe that. He’s on a media circuit to give Tech and AI a much needed boost in public approval. Telling us we’ll have affordable cures for cancer so we let them work with government to create more surveillance and warfare tech
True, a union fundamentally represents opposition to the interests of their boss. Anyone that works for the taxpayer and is in opposition to them, has no business being in that job.

The only solution is to elect a President who is strong willed and possesses a dynamic personality…a true leader. The most famous case of this is obviously when Reagan fired all the federal air traffic control workers immediately when they wanted to collective bargain…he said GTFO and meant it.
While I understand the perspective that there’s a ‘right way’ to react to this situation, it feels both arrogant and narrow-minded to suggest that grief or outrage must conform to a specific moral standard. Reactions to tragedy are deeply personal, shaped by individual experiences and the systemic injustices people endure. Dismissing certain responses as ‘wrong’ disregards the complexity of emotions tied to issues like systemic oppression and the exploitation of human lives for profit. This is the first death I’ve encountered where my compassion rests more firmly with the shooter than the victim. It’s a startling realization-one that forces me to confront the tangled web of anger, despair, and systemic oppression that we’ve all felt, though to varying degrees. The victim, a CEO of a healthcare insurance company, was the embodiment of a system that prioritizes profits over people. Healthcare is meant to be a lifeline, a promise of safety in moments of vulnerability. Yet, for so many, it has become an inaccessible fortress, where decisions are measured not in human lives but in bottom lines. The shooter, while committing an act of violence I cannot condone, has brought that pain to the surface in a way that feels unignorable. And it doesn’t matter what he was thinking or how he got to that point-his actions speak loudest. The system he acted against has caused real harm to countless people, and the reaction of the people to this event should not be reduced or invalidated by any authority seeking to control the narrative. The words inscribed on the bullet casings-‘Defend, Deny, Depose’-aren’t just the language of an individual grievance; they’re a cry from the collective. They reflect the suffocating reality that so many endure: defending themselves against denial, fighting to be seen, and yearning to depose systems that deny their humanity. This theme extends far beyond healthcare. It’s a reality present in our education system, where access to quality schooling often depends on wealth or zip code. It’s in our legal system, where justice is frequently reserved for the privileged while the marginalized bear the brunt of inequity. It’s in the food industry, where profits drive the proliferation of harmful, unhealthy products while access to affordable, nutritious options is denied to millions. It’s in housing, where the basic right to shelter has become a commodity, and in employment, where workers fight for fair wages and dignity. The same systems of oppression underpin all of these industries, prioritizing profit over people and creating widespread suffering. I was only 11 years old when I first watched Braveheart, yet its message stuck with me in ways I didn’t fully grasp at the time. The memory of watching it has permeated my soul, shaping how I see the fight against oppression. The film’s themes-of fighting for freedom, standing against tyranny, and the cost of that fight-resonate just as strongly today. There’s a line from the movie that has always haunted me: ‘History is written by those who have hanged heroes.’ This line reminds me of how the victors and those in power control the narrative of history. They decide who is celebrated, who is vilified, and who is forgotten. It’s a sobering reminder that many of the figures we now see as heroes-those who fought against tyranny and oppression-were once labeled as criminals or traitors by the systems they opposed. Their executions, meant to silence and erase them, often turned them into powerful symbols of resistance. The phrase challenges us to critically examine the history we’ve inherited, as it often reflects the biases of the powerful rather than the truth of those who fought for justice. True revolution, as Braveheart shows us, isn’t just about deposing a ruler-it’s about dismantling the chains that bind us all. It’s a call to reflect on how we value humanity over profits and systems. The inscription ‘Defend, Deny, Depose’ feels like a modern echo of that fight for liberation, and it’s something we need to confront head-on.
Your post shows an astonishing level of ignorance about the healthcare system and its complexities. or you are just young and have been indoctrinated by rich, bad, poor good. Blaming the CEO of an insurance company for all its flaws is not only simplistic but dangerous. This wasn’t a revolution-it was a murder. Trying to paint it as anything else is a disgrace to meaningful dialogue and real change. Christ, this post is so juvenile it makes me wonder if you're getting anything out of the Modern Wisdom podcast. Take a deep dive into how the system operates-from government regulations to hospital pricing, pharmaceutical lobbying, and the politicians enabling it all. You might discover that the "villains" you’re railing against aren’t the CEOs, but the lawmakers and power brokers who created this mess and profit from it. Look up how Obamacare increased the level of claim denials, long before BT was CEO. Go listen to a podcast with the Means siblings, or listen to what RFK Jr is really saying about MAHA. This kind of rhetoric, suggesting that violence is some kind of understandable reaction to systemic issues, is both irresponsible and morally bankrupt. By your logic, should someone who voted blue in 2024-who arguably perpetuates the very policies you’re angry about-be executed for their choices? Of course not. So why try to justify the killing of Brian Thompson, a man whose position in the system doesn’t make him the architect of its flaws? If you want to shine a light on healthcare’s issues, focus on the real forces at play -the policymakers. This is black and white, a cowardly execution by a rich kid who had some mental break. He is no fucking hero.
You accuse my post of being ignorant, but in what way? Is it ignorant to point out that a system prioritizing profit over human lives has caused immense suffering? CEOs may not write the policies, but they enforce and profit from practices that deny life-saving care, set inaccessible premiums, and prioritize revenue over people’s well-being. Blaming only lawmakers oversimplifies the issue as much as you claim I am doing. I’m not justifying violence, but it’s impossible to ignore that this act has become a catalyst for long-overdue conversations about systemic harm. The words on the bullet casings-‘Defend, Deny, Depose’-reflect the frustration of millions who feel abandoned by systems designed to protect profits instead of people. While this was a tragic and violent act, dismissing it entirely as a ‘mental break’ or ‘cowardly execution’ avoids the deeper conversation about the inequities that created the conditions for it. If anything, this tragedy forces us to confront the deep flaws in the system and ask ourselves why so many people feel powerless, ignored, and desperate. Ignoring that reality only ensures the suffering continues.
@@HBgirl99 Your post shows an astonishing level of ignorance, and arrogance, about the mood and tone of people who are tired of bs gaslighters like you trying to frame billionaires and investors as innocent people just trying to help the world instead of the greedy leeches that they are. Politicians and bureaucracy didnt make them greedy, it didnt make them spend billions on stock buybacks and executive compensation instead of using that money to pay claims or benefit patients. Yes, policy makers are also corrupt, in large part because the corporations are buying them off to do their bidding. The only silver lining is that people are starting to see through the BS people like you are spewing, as evidenced in comments sections even on Matt Walsh and Ben Shapiro videos. People are tired of your corporate boot licker talking points.
Just look at his title. "How does Elon have time to be so productive". That's the secret, he isn't productive. He is chronically online while being massively wealthy to the point he is more of a CEO in image. There are CEO's who work 80-hour weeks for one company, yet Elon has time to run like 6 companies, help manage other's, run an entire government agency, and still have time to post on you know where all day long while being up to date on every common conspiracy.
You’re close to understanding it: He funds tech startups, including in the healthcare sector. If those startups develop a new treatment, Marc wants there to still be the corrupt insurance system that will allow huge prices on that treatment.
You asked your guest why people are concerned that rich people don’t have their best interests at heart when planning their future for them. It sounded like it was just chalked up to the desire for equality and concern over the profit motive. But, your guest later provided an example of purchasing a $1600 robotic dog for his 9-year-old child. That was a reasonable use of resources from his perspective. But, from the perspective of the average person that’s the equivalent of spending a month’s worth of rent on a toy for a 9-year-old. While I may be wrong, it also seemed that the purchase was done with little concern or thought. Second, there’s nothing wrong with profit. But, focusing on profit closes off the consideration of any solutions that don’t generate profit. I don’t think the concern is driven by inequality, nor driven by a belief that profit is bad or wrong. I think it’s more about questioning whether wealthy people actually live in reality. So, yes there is some concern about wealthy technocrats not having a realistic perspective on what people need. And even more concern that their efforts will result in actually harming those they initially set out to help because they have little to no input from those they are trying to help.
You are right in terms of perspective. The perspective holder acquired this perspective over millenia. Which is why it's about to hurt, extremely, when both the giver and receiver of toys have their perspective forcibly removed. Which is why everyone is, in a way, innocent.
Great comment. It reminds me of much of the media's current reaction to the CEO shooting. Everyone keeps on lecturing to us how the murder was morally wrong and focusing all of their rage on disgust on that act, while framing UHC's actions as policies we might disagree with, instead of decisions that they made that ruined our lives or caused the death of our loved ones. There is a gap in perception that people on that end dont even notice because they never had to deal with similar situations. To then count on people with that inherent disconnect to propose solutions and solve these problems is just insane. Even counting on rich people to deal with inflation when they probably havent been grocery shopping, or at the least never had to budget for grocery shopping, is similarly insane.
13:45 Er, no. Singapore's Central Provident Fund (CPF) is co-funded by employees, employers & government. Currently ~4.5m account holders have ~S$400 billion (~USD300 billion) in real assets that are individually assigned, not pooled. Separately, Singapore has TWO Sovereign Wealth funds, GIC ~S$770 billion & Temasek ~S$680 billion. So, at least one country has fully funded housing, health & retirement in place.

@@polysaturated It could. The issue is vesting. If you (& your employer) were enrolled in a compulsory savings scheme tomorrow, , i.e., everything you & your boss paid in was assigned to you, in your account, in your name, for you alone. Then, from time to time, the scheme wrote you to declare what you had invested & projected if your retirement was in surplus or shortfall, slowly, over time, your nest egg would build up. The problem is vesting. US Social security, UK National Insurance were never fully vested. To fix either system today would impose a bifurcation - people who did or did not pay taxes & get a free ride, vs citizens that can pass the marshmallow test. I can dream...
I wish you guys had touched on Section 174 of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which forces companies to amortize R&D expenses over 5 years domestically and 15 years internationally instead of deducting them immediately as used to be the standard. It's been a real nightmare for startups and innovation in America.
If only this guy could actually see that his accolades are in defense of faux progress at the macro, economic level, and in spite of real progress among all of the human species at every local and cultural locale across the globe.
Within reason. I don’t want my taxes going to take care of people who refuse to take care of themselves or make decisions to improve and maintain their own health.
Gvmt doing anything cheaper & better is a crock. The largest portion of what is paid, ALSO goes to insurance for malpractice coverage. So, if they wanted to lower cost.. tort reform to limit humongous payouts, make small cases easier and stop ginormous gvmt fines .. INSTANT drop in costs. No gvmt control needed!
@@jjarvis7345 it's really not. there are something that a government can do better. every country with state run health care has better outcomes at a cheaper price. and "malpractice" as the issue? nah. it's not that simple. insurance profits are huge. state run insurance would eliminate that extra spending. drug prices are inflated and negotiation could slash that by more than half. medical equipment is marked up to hell. it's insanely complicated and luckily there are people in government who can find and solve these issues (without a profit motive that doubles the cost!)
@@jjarvis7345 So you believe decisions on whether someone lives or dies due to healthcare or lack of it, should come down to cost in the richest country in the world?
It's not a justification for murder. It's holding the executive accountable for decisions he made that cost so many lives. Nobody else was holding him accountable. Heck, he was being paid big bonuses for these decisions.
I see. So, does the mass shooter also have justification for their crime? I suppose every bank robber out there believes that banks are evil as well. What happens if someone commits a crime against the company you work for or own?

Ok, let’s explain this to Marc since he is an elitist who can’t seem to empathize with normal people who are not millionaires. When you deny people life saving and necessary treatment after paying them a monthly premium for years you would tend to hate that entity and the people at the top that run it. And when the entire internet across the political spectrum have a supporting attitude to a person that felt like he had to take action for something all of us have experienced then that would tell you the system is broken. And maybe capitalism isn’t the best way to run healthcare. Something we all need. Like firefighters, cops, etc. don’t be surprised if this keeps happening if the system does not change cause we the people will not care or empathize with the next COE that gets taken out cause clearly you do not empathize with us when we die at your profit driven hands.
@ sure I agree with that. But health go to the hospital too. I would say most people that go aren’t there necessarily because they don’t take care of their health. People have accidents, or have a disease that is completely out of their control. I’m all for letting the government regulate food manufacturers and all the RFK stuff but we need healthcare. People are getting feed up and more things like this are going to happen. Especially now that we’ve actually got the elites attention and they don’t feel safe anymore.
"free" healthcare in places like the UK don't work great either. I think the Australian system is best where the government provides everyone with free or affordable health insurance.
@@grannyannie2948 I happy to discuss which systems works best. Do you know of any good channels or vids on RUclips that compare healthcare systems? The more in-depth the better.

Based on the opinion of the CEO killing alone and his terrible inability to speak well, perhaps the worst guest I've seen Chris have on. The healthcare industry is in ruins, that CEO was the equivalent of a mob boss, and we all know it. I'm an ER nurse and routinely have to tell my patients they're going to get a huge bill because they have no insurance, and they ask me what can they do, and I tell them honestly, I just wouldn't pay it. My supposedly decent health insurance charged me $10k for the birth of my daughter after all was said and done. Fucking criminal. If my wife had not been in the immigration process, I wouldn't have paid it. They basically just make up the numbers anyway. It's madness.
That's outrageous. In Australia most parents use free maternity hospitals. In most cases an ordinary birth only needs a midwife, but if complications occur that's also free.

I don’t think people are scared of technology in general but scared technology will replace them and their ability to earn a wage. Most people that can’t afford healthcare in this country are most likely to also be in a position that will one day be replaced by technology with no great options to pivot to.

It's true. Other countries are seemingly having an identity crisis. Everyone is looking at the US and they compare themselves. Like the US is some bigger older brother that gets everything they want, and is just a big bully. But Dad isn't around to make him stop. Whats funny is that the US is the opposite. I really appreciate this perspective of looking at other countries, and comparing the US to other countries.

You let him ramble on about the cost of healthcare without asking him why the cost of healthcare is so expensive. Who owns our "healthcare assets" and why are we letting them charge us so much to put us in debt?

I worked as a statistician for several insurance companies and Marc Andreesen the General Partner at A16H could not possibly be less informed about the state of healthcare in the USA right now. The class warfare is a lie, which is always has been, but the USA healthcare system has been completely corrupted by the government and insurance. Marc honestly needs to go get 3 doctors drunk, and get them to talk about insurance. They will refuse at first, but you need to get them to open up, and they super super hate the insurance companies for turning their health care into dollars and manipulating and controlling them. After talking to 3 doctors who will inform you that the system is screwed up, go get 3 actuaries or statisticians drunk, and they will explain the corruption of how it works.
Will the doctors admit why they decide to charge someone's monthly salary for a relatively simple procedure? They need to look into the mirror if they want to know where the greed is.
@sojourner99 True, I found a doctor that accepts whatever the insurance company pays. So I only pay my $10 copay. The doctor billed 75k and my insurance paid 50k. When I called the office I was informed they don't charge the balance to the patient. If all doctors and offices just accepted whatever the insurance company paid, patients wouldn't be upset.
@@theMannyfresh1 no it wasn't...and no real person words a comment like you do....keep trying russia. The real world is not fucking buying it.
It would be more useful to recommend a book or at least an essay covering this. It's not top secret info.
@@sojourner99because just like the insurance companies don’t like paying us, they don’t like paying the doctors either. They strong arm the doctors/hospitals into contracts with low pay so the doctors can be “in network.” “In Network” just means the doctors accepted the shitty deal the insurance companies offered them.
So, the doctors raise prices and those without coverage or out of network are were the hospitals make their profit.
If it were doctors being greedy, we wouldn’t have an issue in this country with bankrupt hospitals. We see what doctors bill insurance companies. What we don’t see if how much the insurance actually pays the doctors and how much they have to just write off.
Watching this guy fumble through making excuses for why people are angry at the healthcare system while having a massive vested interest in the status quo is pretty laughable. People aren't anti-capitalist, they are anti-unregulated monopoly that has permeated every level of government.
Monopoly capitalism isn't capitalism.
Leina Kahn is the only person in a decade to attempt to do anything about it, but Trump is about to replace her with someone awful.
@@stickjohnnyExactly, and we can all see how much resistance she has faced from the crony capitalist interests engrained in the system.
@@stickjohnnyyeah Trump is pissing me off. Half his picks are AWESOME and I’m truly exited. The other half is worse swamp than before.
Trump during his first term did some things AMAZING that would never have gotten done or changed, and the. Does some things the COMPLETE opposite and terrible….
Totally had the same thought. Yes, we have an aging populace, yes, healthcare in general is expensive, but the thing he doesn’t want to say is that we have a health system taking advantage of people to turn a huge profit for the insurance company’s shareholders. It’s causing us to have the MOST expensive healthcare in the world and we’re not seeing the results of it in our health metrics. Gotta keep increasing that bottom line! Who do we f*** over next!?
Exactly. I couldn't make it through this video.
I downvoted the video about 23 minutes in and shut it off.
This dude is the exact phenotype of human that you would expect out of his voice and way of speaking
Bond-villain type comes to my mind.
Why is this man on a media blitz?
I believe he wants to confirm all of our worries of how corrupt the Democrat party is. I've watched a couple of his interviews and they are really good. Imo
I think when someone appears on JRE their name recognition goes through the roof and then all the smaller shows try to get them on so that their show can grow. Marc is probably overwhelmed by requests right now.
First: his team has come to power.
Second: he’s doing important PR for AI and Tech, creating a good image.
We must believe that they are creating a better future with AI, that healthcare will get cheaper. Even though their real focus is on warfare and surveillance.
He’s manufacturing consent for further privatization of public goods as beneficial for Americans.
@@stiffmeistercharlie1758 His “team” in power is actually pretty hawkish on AI acceleration. Musk has long wanted guardrails around AI development.
I agree with Andreessen’s talk around EAcc, but his firm’s stakes in major foundational models give him direct incentive to shape regulation in his favor. Regulation is coming in one shape or the other and he knows it. Never trust a capitalist claiming high ground for the benefit of society. He is there to make money for his LPs at the end of the day.
How can you have a discussion about the cost of Healthcare in America and completely gloss over the fact that it's much cheaper in other countries? He acts like people are too stupid to realize that their taxes would pay for Medicare for all, but that's not the issue! Look at the cost of insulin in Europe vs. America BEFORE INSURANCE. Consider that in the US your insurance is tied to your job, so if you get too sick to work and REALLY need insurance, that's when you lose it. Or the fact that if you're dying, you can't just decide not to have the care; its a NEED and you have to pay whatever they charge. And you can't make informed decisions because there's no way to know what a procedure will cost before you're billed. If they code something wrong, you have no recourse. You can appeal it, but no one is holding these companies accountable. They just deny your appeal. People are literally dying and going bankrupt because of a problem all other developed nations have solved. All this boiled down to, "Nobody wants to pay for it!"
Edit: I want to reiterate that I'm saying Healthcare is cheaper in other countries BEFORE INSURANCE. For instance a vial of insulin in Europe costs $10-40 and in the US costs $275. What does that have to do with taxes? Thanks for reading, this is my first ever rant 💙
Health insurance is literally an unnecessary middle man, so much of the US medical industry is already subsidized by the government.
Our grandparents were taught to get the shotgun for insurance salesman.
A government should be able to help it's people in a way that Insurance is never needed. Insurance is a perpetuated scam.
1. Its not cheaper. The systems are still grifty, and the cost is being subsidized by the entire nation. All that does is change where the grift happens.
2. We don't have "healthcare". We have "sickcare". All of these systems, US or elsewhere, are incentivized to keep people sick, and dependent on their services and pharma.
All we need to fix literally all of this is to allow independent medical providers to exist, meaningfully. NDs have outrageously better outcomes, and yet they are still being fought against by the establishment, for example.
@@Sub0Kate this guy is an industry 🪴
As an MD I think ND’s should play a far greater role in educating people how to avoid sickness. I still spend half my time with a patient encouraging them to make the lifestyle and food choices that will prevent future deterioration, whilst treating what brought them in as well. Easily 80-90% of illness is preventable. You need healthcare to manage the 10-20% that cannot be avoided yet.
We have universal healthcare in Australia but we have higher taxes than the US and much higher prices for everything to pay for that . I use the old iTunes as an example. A song was downloaded online, not a physical product but cost us $1.69 whilst the US paid 70 cents. Do that to everything and now you know how much it costs to run it.
In saying that, a guy can work all his life in a low end job, get hit by a drunk driver and he gets life saving care and rehabilitation all on the tax payer.
I’m glad Marc broached the question of delegation and Elon’s approach. Delegation isn’t the opposite of micromanagement. It’s a question of context, strata, formal/informal influence, courage, visibility, risk taking, etc. It’s a rare leader who has these qualities.
Half of all personal bankruptcies are caused by medical bills. This is not just a simple economic issue that solving a tax table or changing insurance models will easily solve. We have the most expensive medical care in the world and the least effective in terms of life expectancy. We are the most polarized nation economically in the world… The wealthiest,and the lowest life expectancy in terms of our overall wealth because medicine is seen as another for profit industry.
It wasn’t for profit when I was growing up in the 60s. Hospitals are still deemed to be nonprofit and yet with exorbitant amounts of money they make the big ones are able to buy up all the smaller ones that are going bankrupt. We have become a nation where wealthy people don’t begin to pay the taxes they used to during those years. And keep in mind the US economy was thriving in the 50s and the 60s and a good deal of the 70s.
It’s easy to be glib about our current situation. But millions upon millions of people are suffering terribly. They have insurance that they pay huge monthly premiums for and then when they need medical care, they are denied again and again.
The system is a mess and is basically rigged.
As an Australian, I'm horrified by the American health system. Our government offers free or affordable medical insurance that is compulsory for all but the wealthy. Completely free services like the NHS also have problems of long waiting lists, I do think our system is better because everyone has a safety net judged on their current circumstances.
Nonsense, like all of these communist comments.
Don’t be fat. Most people aren’t going to the doctor that much.
also, planet has too many people currently living on it. David Rockefeller said this was humanity's biggest problem, as they see it. so you have the wealthiest people on the planet think like this, and have resources to do something about it.
in other words, there is a huge incentive to NOT increase life expectancy. the public can't handle the reality of the situation.
@@digitalsamurai42 I know that, and that's why the Rockefellers built the UN building, they want to reduce the population. In 1952 British communists wrote a book lamenting that the British workers would not rise up to overthrow the means of production whilst they had the comfort of electricity in their homes and factories. They concluded they needed a global reason to restrict the use of electricity. Then came global warming.
11:43 dude Chris’s totally miss-characterizing it. It’s not about them not paying people out. It’s about them denying care completely and people dying.
For coverage people pay for!
At this point, we are talking about 100s of thousand a year minimum that should be alive that are not specifically due to denial and diminishment of care

It’s not just that “some” people were getting denied insurance payments… it’s that insurance denials went up astronomically since this guy had been in charge. They were using an ai model with a huge error rate, they knew, but didn’t care because profits were soaring. These are things that need to be addressed.

Marc acts like if healthcare is paid by taxes then everyone gets healthcare for free. What kind of elitist insanity is this. Seems like most people are paying a lot for healthcare or how would his friend Brian’s company have had made profits in the millions.
And we don’t hate technology. We hate you guys that think technology is the be all and end all of human achievement and that you guys should be running everything. Just because you create something with low COGS and high profit margins doesn’t mean you should be running government and be in charge of social policy which you clearly have never engaged in other than your current NIMBY fights and condescending podcast appearances.

1:23:14 The UK made a political decision around productivity (if memory serves) that small entrepreneurs, lifestyle businesses, self-employed “gig economy” people, etc were less good for productivity than large companies and so they systematically attacked, removed or restricted any provision for them in order to force people to grow their business or get a job with a large company.
These seem like the kind of decisions that bureaucrats make when they make “logical” decisions based on data and the fact that it is protectionist towards pre-existing companies probably doesn’t hurt either.
In reality it’s like trying to create premier league footballers by closing all your youth training camps…ie not very logical.

Amongst the many red flags in this interview, the biggest should be Andreesen's reference to his friend Curtis Yarvin and Yarvin's description of the problems of this country. For those who don't know, Yarvin is opposed to the idea of democracy.
I could be wrong, but I think it was Yarvin who said America needs to get over its dictator-phobia. All of these guys subscribe to the idea that democracy is inferior. And for them, it is. Their freedom is hindered by laws intended to protect people. Their power is diluted when everyone is given a vote. But I think that stage of the game is over now. They’ve won. What we’re seeing now is the next stage of the game, played amongst themselves to see who gets to sit at the top.
Not to mention a “nuanced” view of slavery. Yarvin has terrifying views, and I say “terrifying” because absurdly powerful people (e.g. JD Vance) pay attention to him. Several people just one degree of separation from the presidency have views that include “women should never have been allowed the vote.” I’m not worried about Trump… I’m worried about Vance’s connection to people like Thiel, Yarvin, and Andressen. None of them give a damn about the needs of most mere mortals. But maybe the tech/oligarchs will only be convinced by finally getting their “dreams” fully realized. Eventually, there’ll be nobody left who can afford anything they have to sell.
@@KathySierraVideo I worry about Trump, but you're right that they may pose an even bigger risk.
America isn't a democracy, so we're safe from your media-mediated notion of Yarvin.
I’m not big on democracy anymore either.
What worries me about Yarvin are his beliefs about the “elves” who should have power over the goyim
The disparity between the present and the 1970s is stark. The United States has shifted from being the one of the most egalitarian society relative to its peers to the least egalitarian. A nation characterized by equality is less likely to experience collapse; conversely, significant inequality coupled with pervasive economic distress fosters widespread distrust in institutions, which serves as a catalyst for civil unrest.
Are you insinuating that the US was one of the most egalitarian countries in the 70s? I strongly doubt that but would be pleasantly surprised if I needed to update my worldview. Please share evidence and argument, thanks.
@@simonnilsson5356 I did edit my response. A more accurate answer is that we were similar to our peers in East Asia, Oceania, and Europe until 1970, when we separated out and became much more unequal.

Billionaires going on big podcasts to spread their ideas with very little pushback is one of my least favorite recent trends.
The interviews are paid off
What did you want pushback on? The topics and conversation were natural and flowing.
Interesting, what attracted you to listening to this podcast? Are you a Modern Wisdom fan or was it Marc?
Trump’s supporters say that he can run the US because he is rich, which apparently means he can run a company ergo he can run the US.😅
You know you know you know you know you know
That's what you zero'd in on? Poor mindset.
It sounds like he has a tic which he has no control over. So you choose to make sarcastic comment about someone. Have you ever had people do that to you? Sounds like an issue you might want to look at. I hope you’re able to resolve it. Treat others the way you’d want to be treated. If more people would it would be a much better world. You will get back what you put out to the world. Maybe not in this lifetime but down the road, maybe in another lifetime, you will learn to have more compassion for others. It will make your life easier.
Tak!
The US health system does not need new technology as much as patients need to eat healthy, sleep, exercise, and stop drinking. Healthcare can’t make up for a sedentary life of junk food and poor choices.
And stop getting angry about stupid stuff. Cortisol is not your body's friend.
That reminds me of a comic I saw:
Doctor: You have a disease caused by your lifestyle.
Patient: Should I change my lifestyle?
Doctor: Not at all, here is a pill.
United healthcare reported a profit of $22 billion in 2023. For insurance that’s mandated by the government. You can’t laugh this off. This is absolutely extracted.
Profit, not revenue
Obamacare
Ever notice the top 1% empathizing with the healthcare CEO, that have no problem affording healthcare? While the other 99% who do, don’t?
Offing a healthcare CEO isn’t going to achieve anything. There needs to be structural solutions, to which the dems never agree to because “All hail obamacare”
It’s actually insane.
Painting the left as bloodthirsty is wild. Both sides cheered when that man was shot. Paraphrasing someone obviously here but “it’s up vs down not left vs right”
Also a bit rich since I doubt he's the least bit critical of Isreal.
The real “they live” moment is when you realize “up vs down” *IS* the OG leftism and the wealthy have to distort “left vs right” to mean something else to distract from what leftism originally was.
No they didn't.
My problem wîth new technology is that it is adopted without clear understanding of the consequences. Climate change as a consequence of new technology was not forseen 200 years ago. What kind of troubles might we be setting ourselves up for now?
That’s what the Luddites said…

Thanks!

There should be no collective bargaining from government employees. The government cannot bargain against itself with citizens footing the bill.
True, a union fundamentally represents opposition to the interests of their boss.
Anyone that works for the taxpayer and is in opposition to them, has no business being in that job.

The only solution is to elect a President who is strong willed and possesses a dynamic personality…a true leader.
The most famous case of this is obviously when Reagan fired all the federal air traffic control workers immediately when they wanted to collective bargain…he said GTFO and meant it.

While I understand the perspective that there’s a ‘right way’ to react to this situation, it feels both arrogant and narrow-minded to suggest that grief or outrage must conform to a specific moral standard. Reactions to tragedy are deeply personal, shaped by individual experiences and the systemic injustices people endure. Dismissing certain responses as ‘wrong’ disregards the complexity of emotions tied to issues like systemic oppression and the exploitation of human lives for profit.
This is the first death I’ve encountered where my compassion rests more firmly with the shooter than the victim. It’s a startling realization-one that forces me to confront the tangled web of anger, despair, and systemic oppression that we’ve all felt, though to varying degrees.
The victim, a CEO of a healthcare insurance company, was the embodiment of a system that prioritizes profits over people. Healthcare is meant to be a lifeline, a promise of safety in moments of vulnerability. Yet, for so many, it has become an inaccessible fortress, where decisions are measured not in human lives but in bottom lines.
The shooter, while committing an act of violence I cannot condone, has brought that pain to the surface in a way that feels unignorable. And it doesn’t matter what he was thinking or how he got to that point-his actions speak loudest. The system he acted against has caused real harm to countless people, and the reaction of the people to this event should not be reduced or invalidated by any authority seeking to control the narrative. The words inscribed on the bullet casings-‘Defend, Deny, Depose’-aren’t just the language of an individual grievance; they’re a cry from the collective. They reflect the suffocating reality that so many endure: defending themselves against denial, fighting to be seen, and yearning to depose systems that deny their humanity.
This theme extends far beyond healthcare. It’s a reality present in our education system, where access to quality schooling often depends on wealth or zip code. It’s in our legal system, where justice is frequently reserved for the privileged while the marginalized bear the brunt of inequity. It’s in the food industry, where profits drive the proliferation of harmful, unhealthy products while access to affordable, nutritious options is denied to millions. It’s in housing, where the basic right to shelter has become a commodity, and in employment, where workers fight for fair wages and dignity. The same systems of oppression underpin all of these industries, prioritizing profit over people and creating widespread suffering.
I was only 11 years old when I first watched Braveheart, yet its message stuck with me in ways I didn’t fully grasp at the time. The memory of watching it has permeated my soul, shaping how I see the fight against oppression. The film’s themes-of fighting for freedom, standing against tyranny, and the cost of that fight-resonate just as strongly today. There’s a line from the movie that has always haunted me: ‘History is written by those who have hanged heroes.’
This line reminds me of how the victors and those in power control the narrative of history. They decide who is celebrated, who is vilified, and who is forgotten. It’s a sobering reminder that many of the figures we now see as heroes-those who fought against tyranny and oppression-were once labeled as criminals or traitors by the systems they opposed. Their executions, meant to silence and erase them, often turned them into powerful symbols of resistance. The phrase challenges us to critically examine the history we’ve inherited, as it often reflects the biases of the powerful rather than the truth of those who fought for justice.
True revolution, as Braveheart shows us, isn’t just about deposing a ruler-it’s about dismantling the chains that bind us all. It’s a call to reflect on how we value humanity over profits and systems. The inscription ‘Defend, Deny, Depose’ feels like a modern echo of that fight for liberation, and it’s something we need to confront head-on.
Your post shows an astonishing level of ignorance about the healthcare system and its complexities. or you are just young and have been indoctrinated by rich, bad, poor good. Blaming the CEO of an insurance company for all its flaws is not only simplistic but dangerous. This wasn’t a revolution-it was a murder. Trying to paint it as anything else is a disgrace to meaningful dialogue and real change. Christ, this post is so juvenile it makes me wonder if you're getting anything out of the Modern Wisdom podcast.
Take a deep dive into how the system operates-from government regulations to hospital pricing, pharmaceutical lobbying, and the politicians enabling it all. You might discover that the "villains" you’re railing against aren’t the CEOs, but the lawmakers and power brokers who created this mess and profit from it. Look up how Obamacare increased the level of claim denials, long before BT was CEO. Go listen to a podcast with the Means siblings, or listen to what RFK Jr is really saying about MAHA. This kind of rhetoric, suggesting that violence is some kind of understandable reaction to systemic issues, is both irresponsible and morally bankrupt. By your logic, should someone who voted blue in 2024-who arguably perpetuates the very policies you’re angry about-be executed for their choices? Of course not. So why try to justify the killing of Brian Thompson, a man whose position in the system doesn’t make him the architect of its flaws? If you want to shine a light on healthcare’s issues, focus on the real forces at play -the policymakers. This is black and white, a cowardly execution by a rich kid who had some mental break. He is no fucking hero.
You accuse my post of being ignorant, but in what way? Is it ignorant to point out that a system prioritizing profit over human lives has caused immense suffering? CEOs may not write the policies, but they enforce and profit from practices that deny life-saving care, set inaccessible premiums, and prioritize revenue over people’s well-being. Blaming only lawmakers oversimplifies the issue as much as you claim I am doing.
I’m not justifying violence, but it’s impossible to ignore that this act has become a catalyst for long-overdue conversations about systemic harm. The words on the bullet casings-‘Defend, Deny, Depose’-reflect the frustration of millions who feel abandoned by systems designed to protect profits instead of people. While this was a tragic and violent act, dismissing it entirely as a ‘mental break’ or ‘cowardly execution’ avoids the deeper conversation about the inequities that created the conditions for it.
If anything, this tragedy forces us to confront the deep flaws in the system and ask ourselves why so many people feel powerless, ignored, and desperate. Ignoring that reality only ensures the suffering continues.
@@HBgirl99 Your post shows an astonishing level of ignorance, and arrogance, about the mood and tone of people who are tired of bs gaslighters like you trying to frame billionaires and investors as innocent people just trying to help the world instead of the greedy leeches that they are. Politicians and bureaucracy didnt make them greedy, it didnt make them spend billions on stock buybacks and executive compensation instead of using that money to pay claims or benefit patients. Yes, policy makers are also corrupt, in large part because the corporations are buying them off to do their bidding. The only silver lining is that people are starting to see through the BS people like you are spewing, as evidenced in comments sections even on Matt Walsh and Ben Shapiro videos. People are tired of your corporate boot licker talking points.
Calling Dave smith left is foul. Good episode tho
Take a look how much stock Marc Andreessen has in these Healthcare companies and you will see why he gave his opinion lol.
Just look at his title. "How does Elon have time to be so productive". That's the secret, he isn't productive. He is chronically online while being massively wealthy to the point he is more of a CEO in image. There are CEO's who work 80-hour weeks for one company, yet Elon has time to run like 6 companies, help manage other's, run an entire government agency, and still have time to post on you know where all day long while being up to date on every common conspiracy.
He invests in startups lmao not big public companies do you even know what a VC is??
He does not have stock in healthcare. His portfolio is entirely tech.
You’re close to understanding it:
He funds tech startups, including in the healthcare sector. If those startups develop a new treatment, Marc wants there to still be the corrupt insurance system that will allow huge prices on that treatment.
You asked your guest why people are concerned that rich people don’t have their best interests at heart when planning their future for them. It sounded like it was just chalked up to the desire for equality and concern over the profit motive. But, your guest later provided an example of purchasing a $1600 robotic dog for his 9-year-old child. That was a reasonable use of resources from his perspective. But, from the perspective of the average person that’s the equivalent of spending a month’s worth of rent on a toy for a 9-year-old. While I may be wrong, it also seemed that the purchase was done with little concern or thought.
Second, there’s nothing wrong with profit. But, focusing on profit closes off the consideration of any solutions that don’t generate profit.
I don’t think the concern is driven by inequality, nor driven by a belief that profit is bad or wrong. I think it’s more about questioning whether wealthy people actually live in reality. So, yes there is some concern about wealthy technocrats not having a realistic perspective on what people need. And even more concern that their efforts will result in actually harming those they initially set out to help because they have little to no input from those they are trying to help.
You are right in terms of perspective. The perspective holder acquired this perspective over millenia.
Which is why it's about to hurt, extremely, when both the giver and receiver of toys have their perspective forcibly removed.
Which is why everyone is, in a way, innocent.
Great comment. It reminds me of much of the media's current reaction to the CEO shooting. Everyone keeps on lecturing to us how the murder was morally wrong and focusing all of their rage on disgust on that act, while framing UHC's actions as policies we might disagree with, instead of decisions that they made that ruined our lives or caused the death of our loved ones. There is a gap in perception that people on that end dont even notice because they never had to deal with similar situations. To then count on people with that inherent disconnect to propose solutions and solve these problems is just insane. Even counting on rich people to deal with inflation when they probably havent been grocery shopping, or at the least never had to budget for grocery shopping, is similarly insane.
Really enjoyed the conversation.
I enjoyed the interview. Thanks to you both!
13:45 Er, no. Singapore's Central Provident Fund (CPF) is co-funded by employees, employers & government. Currently ~4.5m account holders have ~S$400 billion (~USD300 billion) in real assets that are individually assigned, not pooled. Separately, Singapore has TWO Sovereign Wealth funds, GIC ~S$770 billion & Temasek ~S$680 billion. So, at least one country has fully funded housing, health & retirement in place. There are gaps in social provision at the margins, though these are (slowly) being addressed.
In a country of ~5.9m, no slums, ~
Does this scale to 300 million people? There aren’t enough financial assets in the world to cover that.
@@polysaturated
It could.
The issue is vesting.
If you (& your employer) were enrolled in a compulsory savings scheme tomorrow, , i.e., everything you & your boss paid in was assigned to you, in your account, in your name, for you alone.
Then, from time to time, the scheme wrote you to declare what you had invested & projected if your retirement was in surplus or shortfall, slowly, over time, your nest egg would build up.
The problem is vesting.
US Social security, UK National Insurance were never fully vested.
To fix either system today would impose a bifurcation - people who did or did not pay taxes & get a free ride, vs citizens that can pass the marshmallow test.
I can dream...
Thank you to Chris & guest for a very enlightening conversation
I will be watching this on repeat. 😳So much to learn, so little time. 😂
So many nuggets of wisdom in this one. 🎉
I wish you guys had touched on Section 174 of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which forces companies to amortize R&D expenses over 5 years domestically and 15 years internationally instead of deducting them immediately as used to be the standard. It's been a real nightmare for startups and innovation in America.
The read-in to the hidden pains of being a CEO had me creased up... perfect!
Tech may make it less expensive, but corporations take the savings for shareholder value. The savings aren't trickling down.
So, you can't read financial statements. Unsurprising.
Learned a lot. I solve my own tech problems. Don't care about managers
There is an underlying naivete, a disconnect from reality in this interview.
Very specific
That’s not vague or anything lol
Why don’t you explain a little bit?
Whatever the shared delusion is, I suffer from it too. Does it have to do with ignorance of sentimental nuance?
I see far more disconnect in the comments section: full of witless whiners.
OMG, thank you for asking how Elon works! That was insightful. Always great to hear from Marc
Eat the rich
Good show. tho take what Marc says about Elon Musk with a grain of salt - he is friends and does business with him as he himself says*
"The pledge of allegiance." We are a REPUBLIC.
If only this guy could actually see that his accolades are in defense of faux progress at the macro, economic level, and in spite of real progress among all of the human species at every local and cultural locale across the globe.
I was listening carefully and then hiperfixated on "You know". Now I'm trying to fight that.
I wonder why no one asks Marc about “Forever California” and the great philanthropic contributions he’s making 🤔
what's your issue with it? curious about your opinion personally. this is the least evil thing he's involved in imo
Yes! Tax payer money should prioritize paying for healthcare.
Within reason. I don’t want my taxes going to take care of people who refuse to take care of themselves or make decisions to improve and maintain their own health.
Hell no
Gvmt doing anything cheaper & better is a crock. The largest portion of what is paid, ALSO goes to insurance for malpractice coverage. So, if they wanted to lower cost.. tort reform to limit humongous payouts, make small cases easier and stop ginormous gvmt fines .. INSTANT drop in costs. No gvmt control needed!
@@jjarvis7345 it's really not. there are something that a government can do better. every country with state run health care has better outcomes at a cheaper price. and "malpractice" as the issue? nah. it's not that simple. insurance profits are huge. state run insurance would eliminate that extra spending. drug prices are inflated and negotiation could slash that by more than half. medical equipment is marked up to hell. it's insanely complicated and luckily there are people in government who can find and solve these issues (without a profit motive that doubles the cost!)
@@jjarvis7345 So you believe decisions on whether someone lives or dies due to healthcare or lack of it, should come down to cost in the richest country in the world?
It's not a justification for murder.
It's holding the executive accountable for decisions he made that cost so many lives.
Nobody else was holding him accountable. Heck, he was being paid big bonuses for these decisions.
I see. So, does the mass shooter also have justification for their crime? I suppose every bank robber out there believes that banks are evil as well. What happens if someone commits a crime against the company you work for or own?
@@TheElephantRoom1 Yea, or we can just ignore everything and pretend the current situation is fine. I tried discussing how bad your mass "pooter" example is but youtube censored the comment.... Just know your logic is way off with that comparison.
Does the same rationale apply to the politicians who allow this policy?
@@genkimachina They don't get paid the bonus, but yeah, the issue start with politics
Always value Marc’s intellect and wisdom!
The Left/Right model should be replaced by the Vertical model which measures risk from lower to higher. Why? Because that is what the Left/Right model is trying to measure anyway! Progress requires a foundation to propel it. Conservation and liberation are not in opposition, they are a sequence.
wonderful dialogue. thanks Marc Andreessen and Chris.
I’m just a bill, and I’m sitting here on capital Hill.
I remember 44:53
Ok, let’s explain this to Marc since he is an elitist who can’t seem to empathize with normal people who are not millionaires. When you deny people life saving and necessary treatment after paying them a monthly premium for years you would tend to hate that entity and the people at the top that run it. And when the entire internet across the political spectrum have a supporting attitude to a person that felt like he had to take action for something all of us have experienced then that would tell you the system is broken. And maybe capitalism isn’t the best way to run healthcare. Something we all need. Like firefighters, cops, etc. don’t be surprised if this keeps happening if the system does not change cause we the people will not care or empathize with the next COE that gets taken out cause clearly you do not empathize with us when we die at your profit driven hands.
@ sure I agree with that. But health go to the hospital too. I would say most people that go aren’t there necessarily because they don’t take care of their health. People have accidents, or have a disease that is completely out of their control. I’m all for letting the government regulate food manufacturers and all the RFK stuff but we need healthcare. People are getting feed up and more things like this are going to happen. Especially now that we’ve actually got the elites attention and they don’t feel safe anymore.
We DO NOT HAVE CAPITALISM in the HEALTHCARE SYSTEM
"free" healthcare in places like the UK don't work great either. I think the Australian system is best where the government provides everyone with free or affordable health insurance.
@@grannyannie2948 I happy to discuss which systems works best. Do you know of any good channels or vids on RUclips that compare healthcare systems? The more in-depth the better.
@@jackdaripper137 No I'm afraid I don't know any. I understand the British system as I've spent many months there and I have family members who live there. I know the Australian system as I am Australian and I learn about the American system from people like yourself.
I would also be happy to discuss.
Based on the opinion of the CEO killing alone and his terrible inability to speak well, perhaps the worst guest I've seen Chris have on.
The healthcare industry is in ruins, that CEO was the equivalent of a mob boss, and we all know it. I'm an ER nurse and routinely have to tell my patients they're going to get a huge bill because they have no insurance, and they ask me what can they do, and I tell them honestly, I just wouldn't pay it. My supposedly decent health insurance charged me $10k for the birth of my daughter after all was said and done. Fucking criminal. If my wife had not been in the immigration process, I wouldn't have paid it. They basically just make up the numbers anyway. It's madness.
That's outrageous. In Australia most parents use free maternity hospitals. In most cases an ordinary birth only needs a midwife, but if complications occur that's also free.

Chris Rock didn’t need 3 thousand words. “Sometimes drug dealers get shot”
I don’t think people are scared of technology in general but scared technology will replace them and their ability to earn a wage. Most people that can’t afford healthcare in this country are most likely to also be in a position that will one day be replaced by technology with no great options to pivot to.

It's true. Other countries are seemingly having an identity crisis. Everyone is looking at the US and they compare themselves. Like the US is some bigger older brother that gets everything they want, and is just a big bully. But Dad isn't around to make him stop. Whats funny is that the US is the opposite.
I really appreciate this perspective of looking at other countries, and comparing the US to other countries.
