  1. Just so you Americans know. What that guy said about European healthcare services "free loading " on America for drugs is total bullshit. He should take a breath and give his head a wobble.

  2. /sigh Fucking suits man. POORER COUNTRIES MANAGE TO DO UNIVERISAL HEALTH END OF FUCKING STORY. Sign the fucking order, and then when the parasites try to drive the cost up to this arbitrary 80%. Prosecute them. Seize their assets, nationalize it. Scare the living fuck out of every stake holder. Tell them, I am the president, this is my executive order, comply or face charges. The government doesn't exist, and this is proof. They don't do anything like that because they can't. They are a complete front. Corporations employ lobbyists, which fund politicians of every branch and write laws for them to pass rule in favor of and executive order. The "government" has more than enough power to close the fucking border and treat every millionaire and large corporation as a fugitive if need be to keep them from stealing on the way out. We freeze bank accounts in other counties. Everywhere that uses the usd as reserve currency ultimately has to obey.

  3. we are not the least imperfect system of allocating capital – just the fucking opposite – as we have no national health care/maternity/paternity leave, no free education/universities like the rest of the world – including all of europe, canada, oz/nz, et al and bill is spot on when he said they take all our money then fuck it up! if by fuck it up, you mean steal our money, literally give it away in the billions to israel to continue their terror campaign on palestine and the rest of the world, fuck with other democracies/elections around the globe through the cia and their terror campaigns and atrocities, maintain hundreds of military bases around the planet and give billions to war contractors in dc to perpetuate war on the rest of the world like america has since it entered ww2 in 1941 and has never stopped being at perpetual war except for 3 intermittent years out of the last 81 years!

  4. Wow, the boys really shut up MW ! This was NOT a balanced discussion, and it was obvious that BM completely steered the ship away from any reference to corporate welfare. (no surprise!) And why on earth is Vivek allowed on these shows. He's panting like a child.

  5. Why mention only European countries that have socialized Healthcare? Hello…your neighbor has it too! SMH Canada can afford it because our tax dollars go to our people…especially our hospitals. Just like police fire dept., schools and teachers…hospitals are non profit. THAT is key. And you won't see any pharma commercials on TV. They keep drugs affordable because our elected government keeps them in line. Not one single person has lost their home because of hospital bills. Not one. Ever. ❤🇨🇦 *and that guest was wrong. pharma would still discover medicines even if they were forced to lower prices. it us what they do. they would just make smaller profits. wouldn't have a choice.

  6. As a Canadian, I cannot believe universal healthcare would work in the US, partly because there are so many grifters around who want their piece of the action and would do anything to screw it up so they can then tell the masses "See? It doesn't work". They are bad actors dealing in bad faith.

    Does anyone believe Canadian universal healthcare was embraced with open arms by the insurance companies, doctors and drug companies? Hell no! Politicians like Tommy Douglas had to fight tooth and nail to push the idea through. But Canada was also much younger then and we have a much smaller population with a different culture and mindset. (Honest, we're not clones of Americans. There's overlap in certain areas but many things are different here too.)

    I'm the "lucky" recipient of heart stent surgery and then open heart surgery. Had I lived in America, I know I would have bought a gun and killed myself knowing I'd be stuck with a huge bill I could never repay.

    My cousin, who's a cab driver, told me he drove an American doctor to the airport years ago. The doc made a remark to him, saying Canada has "socialized medicine". My cousin felt obligated to correct him by telling him "No, we have civilized medicine".

  7. The for profit model of making money off of people’s ill health and suffering was engineered by John D. Rockefeller. He started the AMA, but refused to see a doctor himself…
    If you wanna get to the bottom of this mess, start down that rabbit hole😉

  8. Such a grotesque lack of understanding of why the american health system is so expensive…really, Europeans are to blame??? The pharmaceutical industry would really increase their profit margin (and may lower drug prices) in US were it not for 100 mil. CEO salaries, politicians briberies, advertising drugs directly to patients and an effort from insurance companies to lower drug prices. Its a well know fact, that pharmaceutical comp. spend much more money for "marketing" than drug developement…
    with voices like that, the american patient will continue to get rip off…
    BW from EU

  9. They keep paying RN's exorbinant wages like they do and you'll never see the end to hospital price gouging….It just goes on and on…They are never satisfied with their wages…ever!!

  10. The target for the health sector should be Americans paying the European prieces and not Europeans paying the American prieces, Mr. Ramaswamy. And by the way about 25 percent of my wage go to health insurance. Why? Because retirees don't pay that insurance, so do children, stay at home parents and people out of work.

  11. I have Medicare (for all) in Australia. If Democrats were smart they would implement it and run on it in every election. It is a doable program and has been done across nearly every western country. Universal healthcare will win every election whoever promotes it.

  12. 2:20 — Marianne Williamson's response to Vivek Ramaswamy is classic Wine & Cheese progressive fallback: "But the mob! They'll be storming the Bastille if we don't offer succor!" I've witnessed this more than a few times among various Progressives over the decades. Ultimately, their fear of (and essential disgust over) poor people rules the day.

  13. Wow, did Maher and this other guy butcher the facts and reality of public health care! The high cost of health care is the result of government intervention??? WTF ?! You're way off your nut, Vivek. It's rapacious capitalism and incentives to act thusly. As Marianne said, single payer removes the for-profit insurance company middlemen and sets fair prices that the government will pay for procedures and meds. No more of this across-town discrepancy in pricing Maher noted. But more fundamentally, patients won't even be billed, so this situation Maher describes can't impact them, and if they occur, it'll be the government that deals with the gouging facility. Taking this burden off of people (patients) is a HUGE benefit of this system.

  14. Ya'll did not win this argument. The insurance companies are why we don't have universal healthcare and people worth over 1billion are more of a problem then a solution as a generalization, she wins both discussions and it's common to apologize when you're completely unaware of a guests background like 2014 senate bid rather then just stare awkwardly Mr Host, someone didn't prepare you for the guest but inevitably you remain responsible, no wonder this was shoved into overtime.

  15. The government didn't fuck up the legal system, military and infrastructure and educated population that the wealthy counted on to get rich and protect their riches.

  16. This lady is a hypocrite. She teaches Love and that we all one and she has venom and hatred coming out her mouth about Republicans. Says one thing to make money and does not walk or talk.
