hey guys welcome to uh foreign reacts today we're gonna be checking out a video
titled what does u.s healthcare looks like abroad so um should be a very interesting video
i've been doing a lot of comparison with uh the united states uh compared to a lot of
european countries not with asia or any of those countries but it's definitely a comparison with
europe right and um it's been a it's been a journey it's been a great journey and uh
i really love the exposures that i've gotten learning about the uh european countries and uh
what they uh actually provide for their citizens uh compared to the united states but either ways
guys uh if you're new to foreign reacts please do subscribe this is a channel where we do reactions
that are foreign to the reactor and uh i want you guys to subscribe and be a part of this family so
uh without further ado guys let's get right into the video if healthcare is a constitutional right
then that's a form of communism because no country could afford those payments
without seizing the assets of everybody else welcome to finland welcome to finland oh
dudes what's going on oh my god
it's making me so mad ah come on guys it's it's not that hard look
around the world everyone else seems to figured it out right
imagine you're in america which of these options would be best for you
hmm that's uh yeah that's it's a lot to think about what is it
an oop max i guess with what i got here i would go with plan d because the deductible is zero
okay there's there's more gold hmo uh ppo ppo hmo and what are copies i don't
that's like if you pay for spotify premium and spotify still makes you
pay every time you listen to a song it's too complicated i'm lost i'm so lost
oh yeah but in canada i don't have to really think about the div you know
different plans that i could pick from you just pay one amount per month and all the
major treatments are covered at least 70 of our medical expenses are always covered
uninsured unable to afford treatment for a tooth infection
off cook emma rittner lost her job in march i did manage to get antibiotics
from a friend whose mom regularly goes down to mexico and i've been taking that
um self-medicating based off of dr google's advice dr google's advice
here in japan even if you lose a job you would never lose your health insurance
when you lose your job that's when society should
help you help you i've chosen a creative job and had the backing of a healthcare
system but if you don't have that do you pick the safe job or do you pick the creative job
the average price per unit for insulin in 2018 germany 11 canada's 12 dollars
wow wow it's like eight times the price of uh insulin in canada if i'm if i'm correct that
is for a diabetes that's why americans come up to canada to buy medication
you can't survive that come on man sorry i'm sorry hold on so the faa doesn't have
any authority over the prices we have also privatized health insurance
companies in germany but the prices are regulated by the government the government
negotiates the prices and fixes that price for two years in singapore they regulate
the stuff to keep the prices down and you know avoid like this happening
right so i'm looking at an american medical bill why is it so expensive 420 8 000 more rooms and
such empty spaces but much cheaper to go hilton hotel than this skin to skin after c-section
is 39 i had to pay 39.30 to hold my baby after he was born you need to pay money to hold a baby
my brother jamie who's in a lot of our videos was pretty badly injured
he's gonna lose a couple fingers uh if you can give a dollar or if you can give five
dollars every little bit will help him and his family that's heartbreaking i
go fund me should not be something that people have to resort to to pay for their medical bills
yeah it shouldn't have to be it should be something that you set up a gofundme just
because you know uh so in america people spend more than twice as much resistance
as in japan for healthcare you know if i paid twice the amount for a car i would
want the car to be twice as good so what's what's the life expectancy in the u.s
why is it less the us should be on top of both of those lists like if you're
charging your citizens that much money then they better be living the longest
it doesn't make sense high 70. when alec turned 26 he was no longer allowed on his
mother's insurance plan instead he decided to pay for his insulin over the counter
at list price but the pharmacist told him a month's supply would be thirteen hundred dollars
he left empty handed alec's official cause of death was diabetic ketoacidosis
a couple years ago i developed a heart condition and i had to have my heart restarted three times
after the third time i had it restarted the doctor suggested i get heart surgery when i was
13 i started to get sick and really really sick i was then very quickly admitted into hospital
where after three weeks i had treatment for a brain virus the cost of the operation i
think is about sixty thousand dollars uh and then uh the next day when i left the hospital
and i got my bill it was a bill for parking it was about thirty bucks and was treated by royal
doctors had several mris lumber punctures all for free so i i was pretty happy that i uh i lived in
canada and had universal health care i couldn't have survived if i was in america to know that i
can get sick i can get injured but i will still be taken care of that is freedom this is not freedom
well said buddy it kind of made me depressed bro that video this video kind of actually made me
depressed because um it's real life which what i saw just now in this video was real life and it
was very true and um thinking about yourself and putting yourself in that situation uh
what if you developed something or what if you have a hidden condition you don't even know
you know it's it's really messed up bro it's really messed up either ways guys
that's gonna be it you can uh you know have some conversation in the comment section down below
i'm out of here guys this video is really depressing peace
