a question what's your thoughts on
universal healthcare I'm against
universal healthcare yeah um well I mean
look at the many many trials in
universal healthcare we have in this
country waiting lines waiting lists
right now there are it's a year and a
half waiting list to get a prostate
cancer surgery in the United Kingdom
right now unless you're in the royal
family right and by the way this by the
way it's a Hu it's a huge issue right
now uh in Britain where the king gets
like immediate prostate cancer surgery
and the average weight line for prostate
cancer in um in the United is a year and
a half to get surgery it's not a year
and a half here in America but we're
getting there Universal healthare sounds
good but it lowers the accessibility it
increases weight lines it increases
costs um we're pro we're and by the way
we're already close to a universal
healthcare system right now um You can
just walk into an emergency room and you
will get care it's not good care but you
will get care okay and Medicaid is a
form of universal healthare okay then
what Med which is healthare for the poor
go ahead then what do you thought on
people who don't have a lot of money who
break their arm or have to go to the
hospital the hos ambulance costs a ton
of money just to be sent to the hospital
One Night in a bed is insane amount of
money so what are your thoughts on
people what are they gonna do what do
people like who underrepresented don't
have money have worked their asses off
every single day and yet they have to
give up their houses give up loans just
so they can get basic necessities isn't
that like what universal healthcare is
aimed to like mitigate it it is aimed
you're right it is but it doesn't
mitigate here's my agreement with The
Advocates universal healthcare we need
to go after the hospital Lobby okay and
here let's start with what we can
achieve if you go to a hospital they'll
never give you a menu of prices you have
no idea what anything costs do you agree
there's no transparency if you go to
Chipotle they'll tell you how many
calories are in your burrito and exactly
how much they caught it is secrecy of
pricing the hospital lobbies in this
country need to be crushed and there are
these private Public Partnerships that
raised prices endlessly that have
destroyed lives medical debt is a huge
problem in this country um and so yeah
the solution was not you know trying to
have people compulsory have to take on
health insurance through universal
healthcare it's a lot deeper more
sophisticated than that but then can't
you make the argument to say get rid of
private healthcare in general so you
could publicize it and make more
regulations if you were correct does the
VA have a good
product I don't know it's awful the VA
is the Veterans Affair your veter
Veterans Administration any veteran will
tell you the VA is a joke and it is pure
universal healthcare the doctors work
for the government the practitioners
work for the government they have their
own owned and operated hospitals and
they are considered any vet who has a
choice to go to the local community
hospital or the VA will almost always go
to the local community hospital and try
to skip the VA the second is the uh
hospital system on Native American
reservations it's a disaster it's pure
Universal Health Care and the quality is
low so there's there's not a good
solution we're probably heading closer
to Germany where you have Single Payer
on one side and then a private system
for those that can afford it that's
probably where we're headed okay I'm not
saying it's a good thing it's just
probably where we're where we're head it
okay then can't you make the argument
again that the reason that we have such
bad public Healthcare is because because
private healthare has such a strong hold
on society and American society well we
part of American healthare is awful part
of it is great the problem is Mo most
people can't access the great parts so
what is great about American Healthcare
we have the most Innovations we have the
most sophisticated Sur life-saving
surgery if you have a heart attack right
now and you have to go you know go into
the cat room here locally they'll
probably save your life right the
standard of care here that's not the
case by the way in like Southeastern
Asian countries like you might live you
might not okay the problem is cost and
accessibility um and so the question is
do you want to sacrifice the quality of
our care for accessibility and if the
answer is yes then be ready to wait 5
and a half hours in in a which by the
way is already the case in a lot of
hospitals here in California okay okay
interesting
