Woke up everyday at 6 to help her shower, made her 3 meals a day, and just sat with her throughout the day. She’s still alive to this day, and if I had to do it again, I’d do it in a heartbeat.

Yeah, we got issues with our government funded healthcare here in Europe, but boy oh boy do I take this over the shit they have. Unfortunately here it's a bit controversy right now as more and more doctors are working both for state hospitals and private ones too, at the same time. It's slowly turning into a business here as well.
And state hospitals too are running side-hustles - my wife recently gave birth, and they will sell you a bed in a 2 person room, instead of a free bed in a 5 bed room. But it was only 150$ for 4 days, while state insurance covered the rest of the medical costs, about 800$.

"The company settled without admitting wrong-doing" shouldn't be a part of our vernacular. If a company is willing to fork over millions of dollars to avoid going to court, they did something wrong.
Not always. Sometimes you may have been completely within the borders of law, but litigation in USA can be so expensive that it is often cheaper to settle. Or like in case of Remington Arms, they already filled for bankruptcy, so they did not care, because insurers will have to pay the bill, so they did not care to litigate further and just settled. Although the cost of that lawsuit may have been what pushed them over the line to file for bankruptcy in first place.
@@Hadar1991Then litigation should be made much, much cheaper or free, and the respective fees should be shifted into the damages part. And public defenders should be the best paid and most qualified lawyers to mitigate the issue of expensive private law firms basically being highly efficient attack dogs for corporations.
@@FelisImpurrator I don't want protect here corporation, but in USA it is common, that somebody will sue a corporation on some absurd reason and law firms are willingly to litigate this, mostly hoping that the corporation won't want to deal with (even if the law was on the corporation side) and just settle, and then the law firm will have a cut from the settlement. So it goes both ways, and the only winners are the law firms. And while mega-corporation won't be affected that much, even large companies can be hit hard but these kind of lawsuits.
But in all fairness, fixing them all, while possible with enough regulation, makes for a weird country. Take Germany for example - you can't do shit there without stepping over some regulation, rule, or law. Neighbors routinely will call the cops on you for grilling, music being too loud, etc. I know some people moving to Eastern Europe just because everyone leaves them the f&&k alone. But yeah, this hospice & healthcare shit in the USA deserves to be regulated into the ground.
John digging up the actual actors from that Hospice advert is the Legendary performance we have come to expect from our Lord of Cake bears, John Oliver.
My home province in Canada has a completely public hospice system (and medical system). There is no for profit providers at all, no financial benefit to anyone. Hospices are just another healthcare facility in a public, single payor, non private insurance, non private service provider system. We dont even pay insurance premiums anymore ... no one does. You just get free care when you need it. That republican we saw here complaining about the US not being socialist ... well ... Canada isnt either, we just know that regarding health care, its stupid to allow it to privatize ... it just would cost too much. Profit and healthcare makes no sense. NONE of what John talked about in this show ... is even possible up here.
You are in fact wrong. Canada has single-payer system, not single-provider (like United Kingdom has in most cases). That means, that there are private clinics, private hospitals and private hospice operating for-profit. While undoubtedly most of hospitals are still publicly owned, they still have to operate like business within their budgets. Furthermore Canadian healthcare system is slowly privatizing itself, because more and more health services provided in the past by public hospitals/clinics is now outsourced to private was operating for-profit, because it is simply cheaper. The issue here is that, you simply don't know and don't care when your healthcare is provided to you via public non-profit provider or private for-profit provider. If you are curious, just check who is owner of your hospital, clinic, laboratory etc. If they are not own by government that means that they are for-profit business.
The simple explanation is that you aren't american (thankfully)... Problem is the neoliberals all over the world are trying hard to implement the US health system(if you can call it that) in other countries. Example,Greece, and the right wing government that for 6 years now they ve been destroying our health system, privatizing parts of it ,slowly so that citizens do not realize what s going on. And so far they are successful, since they (the right wing) controls all media outlets, so citizens are misinformed and live in an imaginary state. Until they need a hospital for an emergency ,and realize that things are not like they ve been told by the government mouthpieces on TV. Freedom of press in Greece is number 107 on the global scale. We AR doomed unless something changes..
I work in hospice care (or rather care for dementia patients) over here in sweden. There are private options but as far as I know they're so prohibitably expensive that they're simply not an option for anyone but the top 0,5% of the populace in terms of wealth. That is simply because this sort of care, done well costs a lot. Our way is that if you live your last years or however much it may be in nursing home you pay according to your pension. If you have the money you pay the full price/rent, if you don't it gets funded by taxes. The interesting thing about it is that the private options aren't better. They're generally cutting corners and slashing staff due to profit demands. In the end you're sort of paying more for the same thing but there's no one taking money out of the "business". There's issues with underfunding overall but at least it's fixable with a very slightly raised tax.
Really? Nobody ever called Trump weird? I bet plenty of employees listened to his spray tan demands and with tears flowing down their eyes said to him, "Sir, this is weird. And also this is an Arby's."
That's because in reality, we use real words like vile, morally bankrupt, horrific, appalling, POS. I seriously doubt anyone called him weird until democrats started using the word.
That man should never take a break. Weird stuff happens when he does. I don't care about his mental state or explotation. He has a moral duty to the world. He clearly alters history in every break.
But it is, in the most countries, including those European. It is common for private for-profit business' to provide healthcare. Single-provider systems are very rare, probably the best known single provider system is NHS in United Kingdom, but even there are exceptions allowing to for-profit business to operate. Fully single-provider healthcare systems currently are only in countries like Cuba, North Korea and maybe Turkmenistan. Even China abandoned single-provider system. In western countries only United Kingdom uses system where healthcare is not a business (with a lot of exceptions).
@@Hadar1991 while what you said is true that doesn't mean that a functioning healthcare that priorizes on the patient could not be achived in a single-provider only manner.
@@HistoricaHungarica But this is my point. People don't differentiate single-provider with single-payer. You can have perfectly functioning system with single-payer, where most (if not all) providers are for-profit businesses. It is just USA system is pathological, but the profit motive is not what makes it pathological.
@@Hadar1991 i stand corrected. I meant "single-payer, single-provider" (aka from tax, by the government). It makes the most sence in theory. Sure, it won't be profitable but should it be? I'm open to discussion about theorising a better general health care (that needs little adjustements to localize).
@@HistoricaHungarica Health care is complicated (surprise xD), there are many models and people often confuse them. I won't now argue which is the best, but I can say that USA healthcare system is bad, but it also makes people angry on what they should not be. In my humble opinion for-profit businesses in healthcare are not the problem, handing out money to for-profit organization without any supervision is bad. And it makes scammers to be a drain on the budget and often ruining people life. USA healthcare model seems to invite private business and at the same time it is working against the competition in healthcare. Private ownership has benefits only where there is competition. But feeding private businesses in non-competitive environment and without any oversight is just a recipe for disaster and a lot of fraud. Just to be clear. Single-provider means that every hospitals, hospices, emergency services, clinics and even pharmacies are state-owned. Doctor has be employed by the government so you can have appointment with him free of charge. This is how for most parts it works in United Kingdom. Single-payer, multiple-provider system is when you go to a doctor, the doctor still creates an invoice, but instead giving you the invoice directly to you to pay for it, the doctor gives the the invoice to be payed by single payer (so to a public insurer or directly to government, depending how exactly system is created). Hence the doctor can have his own business or work for a privately own for-profit company and has not to be directly on the government payroll. Hence single-payer, multiple-provider system have elements of market competition, which purely single-provider systems lack.
The problem is not with being free market business nor with government healthcare itself. The problem is when for profit business operates only on government grants and it has no competition or oversight. In other words, the problem is not with that those hospices are for profit, but with how they are financed.
@@hanifarroisimukhlis5989 Most of western countries around the world with public insurer, with exception for United Kingdom, have commercialized healthcare (so institutions like hospices are private for-profit businesses or they have to compete on free market with private for-profit businesses). USA has some weird glitch that they love private ownership and free market (which I don't have nothing against), but when they have their own government run institution then God forbid them to behave like rational business. Imagine that you have a company and you pay another company for their services. It is natural that you want to check the quality of their services. But in USA if government institution pays private business for some services it is some kind of weird taboo to control if they are providing for what government is paying. And this is EXTREME incentive for abuse. In USA the only solution for government is to throw money at things and hope that people out of sheer patriotism won't defraud government money.
You are missing the point. That is what the American dream is all about. It is the same reason they do not vote to tax the rich. I remember a book by Mario Puzo, "The Last Don," where a character from Sicily was wondering why do poor people in the US are so patient about wealth of the others being shown in their faces. The answer he got was that the poor were sure they would be this wealthy one day too.
@@ВікторКушнір-й8о I like the way contratpoint explain this phenomenon, to her those American in favor of tax cut for the rich and the like think of themself as "temporarily embarrassed millionnaire". It's a nice way to understand their mindset imo.
Could it be that they are simply not informed? Because that's one of the advantages when you manage to build a society where your employer can kick you out at any moment ("Right to Work" law) and your landlord can do the same if you miss a single payment, and politicians have the nerve to say that the point of minimal wage is not (???!) for it to be a liveable wage. It means that a large portion of the voting population is mostly busy with keeping a roof over their head and themselves employed, and when they get home are more likely to just want some fun, light entertainment to forget their worries, not 60 minutes on _yet another_ way that you are beeing screwed over. And of course, the worse the public education system is, the less you learn to focus, research, think critically, tell the difference between rational arguments and BS, etc. AKA "I love the uneducated" .
@@Julia-lk8jn Yes, poor education, and when good purely technical, it's definitely a factor. And from your wording I see we share some questions on whether and if so when it became by design, rather than just a consequence of the USA being a large country. But the mythos of the American dream is so strong it fools even the educated sometimes.
My mother was in hospice for 14 days and got some of the best care we could have ever wanted and maid her last days with us as enjoyable as possible. I'm ever grateful for the quality time we got to have. And it didn't cost a penny. Of cause this was in Denmark so that might be why.
If healthcare were "free", how many patients would choose to have treatmeants and medicine that prolonged their lives instead of getting shut in a hospice.....how much more life would they get? I wish I was a statistician so I could find that out. What I DO know is that 68 000 people in the states die every year because they couldn't pay for healthcare that would have kept them alive....or at the very least, alive for a lot longer. It makes me sick that there are 330 mil people, who live in "the richest land ever", many who are scared to death to break a leg, get an infection, covid, any old little accident at home....not to mention bigger health issues, because it would at worst get into serious debt, getting into bankruptcy or die! From things that happens in everybody's life. Imagine walking around as if on egg shells just to try to avoid any injury, accident or disease.I can't imagine what it would be like. And the americans I've heard who lived in other countries all say that a huge weight is lifted off of them because they know that all of a sudden, I can get help if I need it.....and I don't have to be rich. Think about what a life that would be, instead of the one you have now.
But in USA in that age group healthcare is in fact free of charge. You have pay for healthcare in USA if you are below 65 years old. And lets be clear - most of hospice patients are over 65.
I'm a USA citizen living in one of those enviable European countries with socialized healthcare. I have spent years reminding my USA family that our healthcare is not "free" - it is prepaid by our taxes (which are not as crazy-high as the anti-socialized ANYTHING Republicans would have you believe). We do not experience long waiting lists for any services; we do not have a co-pay for any hospital test, surgery or doctor appointment (time slots often available the day you go online to book or within the next couple days); there is minimal fraud in the system (zero percent is impossible, but we are darn close to zero); private health insurance and clinics do exist, but I've no idea who would ever bother with them. We pay for our medicines, but there is a massive co-pay from the government (assistance percent increases as your annual out-of-pocket expense total rises). I'm not bragging; I had nothing to do with setting up the system, I simply enjoy it. My USA family says this concept could never work there, but they never give any good reason for why not... simply that it can't. Maybe it's time to consider that if so many other capitalist countries (we also LOVE earning and spending money here in Europe!) can figure it out, what is it the USA is afraid of?

Really, Trump? Not weird? You tried to buy Greenland which, let me check my notes here, ah here we go, NOT FOR SALE!! That is WEIRD! You are the very DEFINITION of weird!
This happened is when you commercialize Healthcare. Yes, the industry employs millions (for as little as it get away with) but it also profits billions for billionaire and millionaire investors. The sad thing is that businesses are trying to replicate the American model and breaking up government health care elsewhere. Travel abroad and you can see both can co-exist but without the obscene profit
But healthcare is commercialize in most of countries of the world. Only countries like Cuba, North Korea, Turkmenistan have fully non-commercial system. From Western countries only United Kingdom tried single-provider non-commercial system, and while today it is the most non-commercial Western healthcare system, there are many, many exceptions allowing for-profit business to participate in the system.
@@Hadar1991you make it sound like it’s inherently evil or primitive to have one-payer/one-provider system. It IS sustainable, and it IS achievable. But the essence of capitalism is not wellbeing of society or, god-forbid, of a regular individual, but making profit and making rich individual richer. And although in some countries like Sweden balance is still kept tight by the government, commercialization of health care is actually deteriorating the quality of the service while making it less accessible or/and affordable. Just ask Brits how their NHS works now and how it worked some 15 yrs ago. That fear mongering with “socialism” is just big-money propaganda.
@@bitterolives Single-payer is completely different than single-provider. And NHS is a bad example, because it is the only single-provider system in Western countries and those exceptions came to be not because someone wanted to commercialize healthcare in UK, but because NHS did not manage to provide everything politician promised (so UK allowed private providers in the 80s, when NHS was unable to provide by themselves services in mental health and elderly care). The issue with single-provider systems is that they are completely budget related, so when budget is not able handle the bill, then the quality goes down. And because society is ageing NHS needs more and more money, but tax hikes are unpopular globally. I was not fear mongering it is just a fact that purely single-provider systems are domain of communist countries. Elsewhere there is always some commercial mix (even if very small like in United Kingdom).
@@Hadar1991 budget is ALWAYS a matter of priority. If priority is wellbeing of people, you put more money in healthcare and education. If priority is profit of the richest, you put money in police and military. It’s that simple. And on the tax matter, if you want more money in the budget you tax the richest more, not the middle class. Also very simple. But not realistic, since the rich farts are the same kind of farts as (always very rich) politicians. As someone who lived both in socialism and capitalism, I can tell you that, while, I maybe couldn’t trow out my entire wardrobe every other year, and used the same washing machine for decades (it miraculously worked) my parents and I lived quite satisfying and sheltered life. quality education and working, efficient healthcare, both funded from the budget AND percentage of every employee’s salary was normal, basic human right, to say. Even unemployed had healthcare coverage. And guess what, no one was homeless. Then came the beautiful western world and brought us “freedom”. We still have government funded healthcare and education but it’s devastated to its ridiculousness and the private ones are very expensive and of bad quality. These days I hear that even right to clean water is not exactly a basic human right,people are getting sick from expensive low quality, highly processed imported food while rich, healthy land is sold to corporations to mine lithium. But I can trow out my entire wardrobe every other year. And I don’t live in Turkmenistan or Tajikistan, I live in Europe. And UK NHS was deliberately devastated past few decades, with cuttings in the budget. You can’t provide service out thin air. So quality if service declines. The fastest way to convince people that NHS doesn’t work, so let’s make it all private. Yes, that’s simple, too.
@@bitterolives Firstly I am also from formerly communist country and my experience is radically different to yours. Poland now has commercialized healthcare with public insurer (about 95% of population is insured publicly). And just look on the most obvious statistic like infant mortality, which today is 4-5 times lower than it was in the 80s, EVEN THOUGH abortion now is MUCH MORE STRICTER (that means, that current infant mortality rate is pumped by kids that would be aborted in th 80s and early 90s). And let it compare to 80s UK - Poland in the 80s had 3 times higher infant mortality than UK. So in Poland in 30 years infant mortality went from 3 times higher than in UK to the comparable with UK, even though Poland (and Malta) now has the strictest abortion laws in EU. That is an obvious progress. There a lot of challenges in modern Poland, but nobody sane misses the communist era (maybe with exception old communist officials), because quality of life is better.
"we are the opposite of weird" that's totally something a weirdo would say right before saying the weirdest shit (that isn't a John Oliver skit) possible
As soon as he said they are “for profit”, that’s a massive L Why does care for other human beings have to always be for profit in America? Same thing with hospitals and mental health services?
Is Sarah Palin "Wrote down on their memoir something that is just too weird even outside of campaign, politics, or even regular life" weird? Or is she a "I say the most weird things even for statements that have no adverse sides to choose" weird?
When John said that the "barriers to operate a hospice can be much lower than you think" I thought that he did it again, they started operating a fake institution like a hospice! 😂
John always knows how to make sense of the craziness, right? It’s wild how some folks think being weird is a badge of honor 😂. Also, the hospice scams part hit home for me, it’s just so heartbreaking. We really gotta look out for our loved ones! ❤️💔
I think there's many ways of being weird, and that it is possible to reclaim the word weird in a way that doesn't suggest that it's such a bad thing. I'm autistic, and after being called weird for everything I do for basically my whole life I have no problem self identifying as a weirdo. There is also something about far right wingers want to be considered normal so bad because they mock outsiders. I'll find the exact post if you're curious about the exact wording, but it emphasized that people on the far right have a much harder time when people call them weird.
a few weeks ago I read a book called 'Nothing to Fear's by Julie McFadden (a hospice nurse) and it was very educational, and I learned a lot not just about hospice care, but about death. Truly recommend this read.
This exact same thing, if not worse, is common with 'rehabilitation clinics'; patients are held against their will, abuse is rife, and they engage in all sorts of shady practices for money, including collaboration and corruption with doctors, health insurance and family msnipulation. "I Care a Lot" is a great movie about a terrifying but very real problem.
This is quirk of USA law system. Like 90%, or even more, cases, including the CRIMINAL ones, are settled. Litigation in USA is extremely expensive, to it is cheaper to both sides to settle. Even if somebody was completely within the law, it is often cheaper to pay the settlement, than fight for years in courts.
The American healthcare system is a mess. Sadly, the word "socialised" healthcare scares too many Americans because they don't know what it means, otherwise you could have a healthcare system like Australia or Japan or all the other countries that have way better systems.
John has highlighted a lot of issues throughout the years and I am wondering is there any summary somewhere on what is the status of those issues? Have they ben looked into? Made better? Made worse? Still the same? I would be very grateful for some leads. I am not from the US so I'm not up to day on everyday happenings there

@@FelisImpurrator I don't want protect here corporation, but in USA it is common, that somebody will sue a corporation on some absurd reason and law firms are willingly to litigate this, mostly hoping that the corporation won't want to deal with (even if the law was on the corporation side) and just settle, and then the law firm will have a cut from the settlement. So it goes both ways, and the only winners are the law firms.

How many systemic issues can one country have?
Yes.
But in all fairness, fixing them all, while possible with enough regulation, makes for a weird country. Take Germany for example - you can't do shit there without stepping over some regulation, rule, or law. Neighbors routinely will call the cops on you for grilling, music being too loud, etc. I know some people moving to Eastern Europe just because everyone leaves them the f&&k alone. But yeah, this hospice & healthcare shit in the USA deserves to be regulated into the ground.

John digging up the actual actors from that Hospice advert is the Legendary performance we have come to expect from our Lord of Cake bears, John Oliver.
My home province in Canada has a completely public hospice system (and medical system). There is no for profit providers at all, no financial benefit to anyone. Hospices are just another healthcare facility in a public, single payor, non private insurance, non private service provider system. We dont even pay insurance premiums anymore ... no one does. You just get free care when you need it. That republican we saw here complaining about the US not being socialist ... well ... Canada isnt either, we just know that regarding health care, its stupid to allow it to privatize ... it just would cost too much. Profit and healthcare makes no sense.
NONE of what John talked about in this show ... is even possible up here.
You are in fact wrong. Canada has single-payer system, not single-provider (like United Kingdom has in most cases). That means, that there are private clinics, private hospitals and private hospice operating for-profit. While undoubtedly most of hospitals are still publicly owned, they still have to operate like business within their budgets. Furthermore Canadian healthcare system is slowly privatizing itself, because more and more health services provided in the past by public hospitals/clinics is now outsourced to private was operating for-profit, because it is simply cheaper.
The issue here is that, you simply don't know and don't care when your healthcare is provided to you via public non-profit provider or private for-profit provider. If you are curious, just check who is owner of your hospital, clinic, laboratory etc. If they are not own by government that means that they are for-profit business.
The simple explanation is that you aren't american (thankfully)...
Problem is the neoliberals all over the world are trying hard to implement the US health system(if you can call it that) in other countries.
Example,Greece, and the right wing government that for 6 years now they ve been destroying our health system, privatizing parts of it ,slowly so that citizens do not realize what s going on. And so far they are successful, since they (the right wing) controls all media outlets, so citizens are misinformed and live in an imaginary state. Until they need a hospital for an emergency ,and realize that things are not like they ve been told by the government mouthpieces on TV.
Freedom of press in Greece is number 107 on the global scale.
We AR doomed unless something changes..
I work in hospice care (or rather care for dementia patients) over here in sweden. There are private options but as far as I know they're so prohibitably expensive that they're simply not an option for anyone but the top 0,5% of the populace in terms of wealth. That is simply because this sort of care, done well costs a lot. Our way is that if you live your last years or however much it may be in nursing home you pay according to your pension. If you have the money you pay the full price/rent, if you don't it gets funded by taxes.
The interesting thing about it is that the private options aren't better. They're generally cutting corners and slashing staff due to profit demands. In the end you're sort of paying more for the same thing but there's no one taking money out of the "business". There's issues with underfunding overall but at least it's fixable with a very slightly raised tax.
Really? Nobody ever called Trump weird? I bet plenty of employees listened to his spray tan demands and with tears flowing down their eyes said to him, "Sir, this is weird. And also this is an Arby's."

HEALTHCARE SHOULD NOT BE A BUSINESS!
But it is, in the most countries, including those European. It is common for private for-profit business' to provide healthcare. Single-provider systems are very rare, probably the best known single provider system is NHS in United Kingdom, but even there are exceptions allowing to for-profit business to operate. Fully single-provider healthcare systems currently are only in countries like Cuba, North Korea and maybe Turkmenistan. Even China abandoned single-provider system.
In western countries only United Kingdom uses system where healthcare is not a business (with a lot of exceptions).
@@Hadar1991 while what you said is true that doesn't mean that a functioning healthcare that priorizes on the patient could not be achived in a single-provider only manner.
@@HistoricaHungarica But this is my point. People don't differentiate single-provider with single-payer. You can have perfectly functioning system with single-payer, where most (if not all) providers are for-profit businesses. It is just USA system is pathological, but the profit motive is not what makes it pathological.
@@Hadar1991 i stand corrected.
I meant "single-payer, single-provider" (aka from tax, by the government). It makes the most sence in theory. Sure, it won't be profitable but should it be?
I'm open to discussion about theorising a better general health care (that needs little adjustements to localize).
@@HistoricaHungarica Health care is complicated (surprise xD), there are many models and people often confuse them. I won't now argue which is the best, but I can say that USA healthcare system is bad, but it also makes people angry on what they should not be. In my humble opinion for-profit businesses in healthcare are not the problem, handing out money to for-profit organization without any supervision is bad. And it makes scammers to be a drain on the budget and often ruining people life.
USA healthcare model seems to invite private business and at the same time it is working against the competition in healthcare. Private ownership has benefits only where there is competition. But feeding private businesses in non-competitive environment and without any oversight is just a recipe for disaster and a lot of fraud.
Just to be clear. Single-provider means that every hospitals, hospices, emergency services, clinics and even pharmacies are state-owned. Doctor has be employed by the government so you can have appointment with him free of charge. This is how for most parts it works in United Kingdom. Single-payer, multiple-provider system is when you go to a doctor, the doctor still creates an invoice, but instead giving you the invoice directly to you to pay for it, the doctor gives the the invoice to be payed by single payer (so to a public insurer or directly to government, depending how exactly system is created). Hence the doctor can have his own business or work for a privately own for-profit company and has not to be directly on the government payroll. Hence single-payer, multiple-provider system have elements of market competition, which purely single-provider systems lack.
Hospice care for profit, then overcharge. How American.
And churches, who should take that role, are tax free!
The problem is not with being free market business nor with government healthcare itself. The problem is when for profit business operates only on government grants and it has no competition or oversight. In other words, the problem is not with that those hospices are for profit, but with how they are financed.
@@Hadar1991 And the alternative? Nobody can afford hospice (?)
@@hanifarroisimukhlis5989 Most of western countries around the world with public insurer, with exception for United Kingdom, have commercialized healthcare (so institutions like hospices are private for-profit businesses or they have to compete on free market with private for-profit businesses). USA has some weird glitch that they love private ownership and free market (which I don't have nothing against), but when they have their own government run institution then God forbid them to behave like rational business.
Imagine that you have a company and you pay another company for their services. It is natural that you want to check the quality of their services. But in USA if government institution pays private business for some services it is some kind of weird taboo to control if they are providing for what government is paying. And this is EXTREME incentive for abuse. In USA the only solution for government is to throw money at things and hope that people out of sheer patriotism won't defraud government money.
A hospice with 100% discharge rate is either a scam or a miracle cure centre 😂
The fact that most Americans are not fed up by this incessant conning for money, but bizarrely proud of it, is beyond me.
They tie their national identity to "companies should be allowed to f with us for profit". Which is weird.
You are missing the point. That is what the American dream is all about. It is the same reason they do not vote to tax the rich.
I remember a book by Mario Puzo, "The Last Don," where a character from Sicily was wondering why do poor people in the US are so patient about wealth of the others being shown in their faces. The answer he got was that the poor were sure they would be this wealthy one day too.
@@ВікторКушнір-й8о I like the way contratpoint explain this phenomenon, to her those American in favor of tax cut for the rich and the like think of themself as "temporarily embarrassed millionnaire". It's a nice way to understand their mindset imo.
Could it be that they are simply not informed?
Because that's one of the advantages when you manage to build a society where your employer can kick you out at any moment ("Right to Work" law) and your landlord can do the same if you miss a single payment, and politicians have the nerve to say that the point of minimal wage is not (???!) for it to be a liveable wage.
It means that a large portion of the voting population is mostly busy with keeping a roof over their head and themselves employed, and when they get home are more likely to just want some fun, light entertainment to forget their worries, not 60 minutes on _yet another_ way that you are beeing screwed over.
And of course, the worse the public education system is, the less you learn to focus, research, think critically, tell the difference between rational arguments and BS, etc.
AKA "I love the uneducated" .
@@Julia-lk8jn Yes, poor education, and when good purely technical, it's definitely a factor. And from your wording I see we share some questions on whether and if so when it became by design, rather than just a consequence of the USA being a large country.
But the mythos of the American dream is so strong it fools even the educated sometimes.
The cost of US basic human rights flabbergast me every single time.

Hostus Mostus is at it again
My mother was in hospice for 14 days and got some of the best care we could have ever wanted and maid her last days with us as enjoyable as possible. I'm ever grateful for the quality time we got to have. And it didn't cost a penny.
Of cause this was in Denmark so that might be why.
If healthcare were "free", how many patients would choose to have treatmeants and medicine that prolonged their lives instead of getting shut in a hospice.....how much more life would they get? I wish I was a statistician so I could find that out. What I DO know is that 68 000 people in the states die every year because they couldn't pay for healthcare that would have kept them alive....or at the very least, alive for a lot longer. It makes me sick that there are 330 mil people, who live in "the richest land ever", many who are scared to death to break a leg, get an infection, covid, any old little accident at home....not to mention bigger health issues, because it would at worst get into serious debt, getting into bankruptcy or die! From things that happens in everybody's life. Imagine walking around as if on egg shells just to try to avoid any injury, accident or disease.I can't imagine what it would be like. And the americans I've heard who lived in other countries all say that a huge weight is lifted off of them because they know that all of a sudden, I can get help if I need it.....and I don't have to be rich. Think about what a life that would be, instead of the one you have now.
But in USA in that age group healthcare is in fact free of charge. You have pay for healthcare in USA if you are below 65 years old. And lets be clear - most of hospice patients are over 65.
I'm a USA citizen living in one of those enviable European countries with socialized healthcare. I have spent years reminding my USA family that our healthcare is not "free" - it is prepaid by our taxes (which are not as crazy-high as the anti-socialized ANYTHING Republicans would have you believe). We do not experience long waiting lists for any services; we do not have a co-pay for any hospital test, surgery or doctor appointment (time slots often available the day you go online to book or within the next couple days); there is minimal fraud in the system (zero percent is impossible, but we are darn close to zero); private health insurance and clinics do exist, but I've no idea who would ever bother with them. We pay for our medicines, but there is a massive co-pay from the government (assistance percent increases as your annual out-of-pocket expense total rises).
I'm not bragging; I had nothing to do with setting up the system, I simply enjoy it. My USA family says this concept could never work there, but they never give any good reason for why not... simply that it can't. Maybe it's time to consider that if so many other capitalist countries (we also LOVE earning and spending money here in Europe!) can figure it out, what is it the USA is afraid of?

Alot better to buy it, than annex it. Hawaii and Texas for example! You Americans don't know shit about ur own history 😂
This happened is when you commercialize Healthcare. Yes, the industry employs millions (for as little as it get away with) but it also profits billions for billionaire and millionaire investors. The sad thing is that businesses are trying to replicate the American model and breaking up government health care elsewhere. Travel abroad and you can see both can co-exist but without the obscene profit
But healthcare is commercialize in most of countries of the world. Only countries like Cuba, North Korea, Turkmenistan have fully non-commercial system. From Western countries only United Kingdom tried single-provider non-commercial system, and while today it is the most non-commercial Western healthcare system, there are many, many exceptions allowing for-profit business to participate in the system.
@@Hadar1991you make it sound like it’s inherently evil or primitive to have one-payer/one-provider system. It IS sustainable, and it IS achievable. But the essence of capitalism is not wellbeing of society or, god-forbid, of a regular individual, but making profit and making rich individual richer. And although in some countries like Sweden balance is still kept tight by the government, commercialization of health care is actually deteriorating the quality of the service while making it less accessible or/and affordable. Just ask Brits how their NHS works now and how it worked some 15 yrs ago. That fear mongering with “socialism” is just big-money propaganda.
@@bitterolives Single-payer is completely different than single-provider. And NHS is a bad example, because it is the only single-provider system in Western countries and those exceptions came to be not because someone wanted to commercialize healthcare in UK, but because NHS did not manage to provide everything politician promised (so UK allowed private providers in the 80s, when NHS was unable to provide by themselves services in mental health and elderly care). The issue with single-provider systems is that they are completely budget related, so when budget is not able handle the bill, then the quality goes down. And because society is ageing NHS needs more and more money, but tax hikes are unpopular globally.
I was not fear mongering it is just a fact that purely single-provider systems are domain of communist countries. Elsewhere there is always some commercial mix (even if very small like in United Kingdom).
@@Hadar1991 budget is ALWAYS a matter of priority. If priority is wellbeing of people, you put more money in healthcare and education. If priority is profit of the richest, you put money in police and military. It’s that simple. And on the tax matter, if you want more money in the budget you tax the richest more, not the middle class. Also very simple. But not realistic, since the rich farts are the same kind of farts as (always very rich) politicians.
As someone who lived both in socialism and capitalism, I can tell you that, while, I maybe couldn’t trow out my entire wardrobe every other year, and used the same washing machine for decades (it miraculously worked) my parents and I lived quite satisfying and sheltered life. quality education and working, efficient healthcare, both funded from the budget AND percentage of every employee’s salary was normal, basic human right, to say. Even unemployed had healthcare coverage. And guess what, no one was homeless. Then came the beautiful western world and brought us “freedom”. We still have government funded healthcare and education but it’s devastated to its ridiculousness and the private ones are very expensive and of bad quality. These days I hear that even right to clean water is not exactly a basic human right,people are getting sick from expensive low quality, highly processed imported food while rich, healthy land is sold to corporations to mine lithium. But I can trow out my entire wardrobe every other year. And I don’t live in Turkmenistan or Tajikistan, I live in Europe.
And UK NHS was deliberately devastated past few decades, with cuttings in the budget. You can’t provide service out thin air. So quality if service declines. The fastest way to convince people that NHS doesn’t work, so let’s make it all private. Yes, that’s simple, too.
@@bitterolives Firstly I am also from formerly communist country and my experience is radically different to yours. Poland now has commercialized healthcare with public insurer (about 95% of population is insured publicly). And just look on the most obvious statistic like infant mortality, which today is 4-5 times lower than it was in the 80s, EVEN THOUGH abortion now is MUCH MORE STRICTER (that means, that current infant mortality rate is pumped by kids that would be aborted in th 80s and early 90s). And let it compare to 80s UK - Poland in the 80s had 3 times higher infant mortality than UK. So in Poland in 30 years infant mortality went from 3 times higher than in UK to the comparable with UK, even though Poland (and Malta) now has the strictest abortion laws in EU. That is an obvious progress.
There a lot of challenges in modern Poland, but nobody sane misses the communist era (maybe with exception old communist officials), because quality of life is better.

I think there's many ways of being weird, and that it is possible to reclaim the word weird in a way that doesn't suggest that it's such a bad thing. I'm autistic, and after being called weird for everything I do for basically my whole life I have no problem self identifying as a weirdo.
There is also something about far right wingers want to be considered normal so bad because they mock outsiders. I'll find the exact post if you're curious about the exact wording, but it emphasized that people on the far right have a much harder time when people call them weird.
a few weeks ago I read a book called 'Nothing to Fear's by Julie McFadden (a hospice nurse) and it was very educational, and I learned a lot not just about hospice care, but about death. Truly recommend this read.
This exact same thing, if not worse, is common with 'rehabilitation clinics'; patients are held against their will, abuse is rife, and they engage in all sorts of shady practices for money, including collaboration and corruption with doctors, health insurance and family msnipulation. "I Care a Lot" is a great movie about a terrifying but very real problem.
"settling out of court"... Why is this a thing? Isn't that just hush money? That used to be illegal, right? For non-president candidates too i mean.
This is quirk of USA law system. Like 90%, or even more, cases, including the CRIMINAL ones, are settled. Litigation in USA is extremely expensive, to it is cheaper to both sides to settle. Even if somebody was completely within the law, it is often cheaper to pay the settlement, than fight for years in courts.
