Just go to the store and google the ingredients. Sugar comes in many forms not labeled "sugar". I remember trying to find some sugar free juice and when I googled the ingredients, I found that it still did technically have sugar in it.
Let’s be honest, it’s a retarted line. You know what everyone gets? A choice, every day, to eat more healthy, eat less, do more exercising, … It’s so so stupid lazy people think there’s only drugs for solving problems. When in reality ozempic is very very unhealthy.
I like that the Sharon bit ends with real body positivity and not the toxic "it's okay to be extremely unhealthy because you shouldn't care how you look" kind
I prefer body neutrality. Not every body is healthy, or good, but it's your body. If you can deal with what your body is, that's fine. As long as you can acknowledge it for what it is
if your biggest fear is being referenced in a south park episode, you are doing something wrong whilst also not being self aware enough to understand that
Give it a break already lol I swear y’all see one dumbass on tik tok say something stupid and then misrepresent the entire “body positivity” idea and it’s kind of embarrassing on your part. Anyone with a brain or common sense can understand that people aren’t saying obesity is okay and that you should be totally fine being 600 pounds and eating until you die. They are simply saying that you should love yourself and your body how you are, hating yourself doesn’t serve any good and usually just hurts people actually.
This guy being a registered psychiatric nurse (big lore bomb) out of being a big time UA-camr is rather shocking to me. I've literally always had time to ponder about any other UA-camr, what their job is, whether or not it's full time UA-cam, but because you never stray out of your lane, it was actually pretty startling.
Apparently those allegations were false, but of course no one wants to admit that. It would conflict with narrative that paints her to be the worst person in the world.
The fact that you had to add the “I have not nor have ever thought of ending my own life” due to Boeing possibly silencing a whistleblower made me laugh but also go “yeah this is the timeline we live in.” Pretty dystopian if you ask me.
They've been getting called out pretty consistently for the past 30+ years; we just don't see any changes. Probably won't either, at least for the better
Didn't they make fun of people calling out the healthcare system and said something like "It's fine. The problem is just that American need to eat less?"
@@ashblossomandjoyoussprung.9917 "Stand up for what you believe in, unless reason and experience prove you wrong.' -Daria It's good to have beliefs and ideals, but always be open to know its limits when you encounter them.
As someone with a chronic illness who is constantly having to deal with the Healthcare system I can say that this episode was depicted so well that I was actually getting anxious waiting to see if cartman would get approved for his meds
The US healthcare system isn't just bad, it's almost criminal. Standard policy is the more important something is the less likely you are to get your insurance to cover it. If you want something like a P pump it's covered. However if you need a heart transplant or bypass the company will delay as long as possible hoping you die before the claims go through.
@@trainman9024 Eh "Free healthcare" has it's issues too. A lot of it is because the Govt covers the bills health care providers and pharma companies just keep inflating their prices. They also often only cover basic health care. If you have anything more serious it's usually not covered at all, or your put on multi year long waiting list. So yeah both systems are rather broken when it comes to serious health issues.
@JustaGuy_Gaming its incredibly difficult to fault socialized Healthcare in the west, because in my opinion the two worst examples are from countries who're trying to follow the US's Healthcare practices. Canada for example has socialized Healthcare, but decided to institute policies like MAID to circumvent medicating/treating its mentally ill and, more importantly, its poor. All while opening its borders to essentially exploit immigrants (people who coincidentally don't get citizenship.) The UK also has Healthcare issues after the tory government essentially sold off the bones of the NHS to "private investors" who in turn decided they wanted to focus on procedures that would keep people paying for life. For profit Healthcare is a fucking sham and insurance ghouls are a gaggle of subhumans.
@@saltybro2544 My eyes were opened to the issue with insurance from my Dentist. I could get something like half price if i paid in cash. It's for two reasons, one any deal with insurance basically doubles the price so they can offer you the "savings" of only paying the deductible. Two the system is so convoluted and requires so much paper work to file claims most medical practitioners just prefer cash, it saves them fighting to get insurance companies to pay for possibly months.
The most shocking part of this special was finding out americans get ads for prescription drugs????? Im from the UK and that sounds absolutely insane to me
@@jsmith3946 honestly you'll usually just rely on your doctor to be honest and good at their job to prescribe you whatever medication they think is best for whatever your issue is at the time. If not then you have to do your own research about medication but doctors here can be very difficult if you're asking for a specific medication cos it isn't very typical to do that, so they'll usually assume you want that medication for a bad reason like to sell it
@@jsmith3946 We rely on actual health professionals to know which drugs we need or whether we need them at all. We don't have drug hoes swanning about wards trying tk flick the latest drug, or have ads on TV or yt trying to get us to poster our doctors to prescribe us drugs.
How will I know I have a problem if I don't see an advert that starts in black and white and shows people being depressed like me until they take this drug and then everything turns into color and there's a puppy and I have a girlfriend now?
South Park is pretty old, I’m not surprised you have fans over 50. They were in their 20s when South Park started, so they were in the prime demographic.
It's fascinating nowadays, fat is usually a sign of poverty now instead of way back when. Says a lot on how much sugar and fast food companies have preyed on the poor
@@AmirDarkOne it's a fascinating thing. It's not usually their fault. Some people just don't have the time to research what to eat, and cook healthy. In some areas, it encourages eating junk food due to a lack of grocery stores in the area. Let alone cheap ones like aldi
@@teneesh3376 calories in , calories out. if you getting to fat, eat less. no research required. at end of the day, it's your own responsibility. eat what ever you want and pay for consequences of your actions.
@@AmirDarkOne the episode shows that some people get hungrier than most. They can eat less, but who wants to be hungry. Better food is the solution. Can't say from experience cause I genuinely don't know how to gain weight. I myself can only eat so much
@@teneesh3376 i dont care. your body your responsibility. let people decide what to do with their body , also let them face the consequences of their actions. more people are ending because of obesity then starvation. why ? because they don't face the consequences of their actions ( until they end) trillions of dollar every year is stolen from taxpayers to pay for the medication(and research for new medications) for fat F*s, Even more money is wasted on welfare=$laver.y of these fat F*s. f UA-cam .
The insurance/health care in the US is just like the rehab circle loop in Florida. The “Florida shuffle”. Every company is in bed with the other companies that work with them. But it’s such a conflict of interest that they just have you going in circles while you’re just trying to get better/survive. Something really has to be changed about ALL of it.
In the end it's about the companies getting what they want and not what customers benefit from. That's the reality when you let them do their bidding, they'll just sew a perfect net to generate the biggest amount of profit possible at the cost of the common people.
Florida is such a funny state. Number 1 in the country for education. Ranks near the bottom for any type of healthcare. My home state of Kentucky is number 1 in adult mental health care and 32 for juvenile mental health care for an average of 11th overall. I can’t say for health care in general though.
Not to mention, when i talk to health insurances as a customer, the person i talk to usually has no idea what there doing. Compare that to when id call them a few years ago as pharmacy tech, they werent nearly as incompetent. So the average person, who doesn't deal with health insurance on a regular basis get the morons. Meanwhile, the people more familiar to the system get the good ones. Ive had a lot of situations where, if i wasnt familiar with the system, nobody would have any idea what to do. For example, my insurance once told me prescriptions cant have secondary insurances. Most people aren't as familiar with health insurance as i am. How are they supposed to resond to that?
Dude it really sucks in Tennessee too. One of my in laws from California (who has been to rehab and has very bad, enabler habits) wants to help open up clinics in the rich areas… whereas our jail is almost halfway full of people that desperately need mental health care and there’s not a single place to send them… the only place in middle Tn has like 16 beds and it takes forever to get in. So no one’s getting help, we’re imprisoning people in crisis or drug addiction with NO actual help available and none of our politicians want to even talk about it. The only people interested are the ones that think they can make money off of this crisis.
3:40 Actually the opening was more like a parody of the intro from the movie Dawn of the Dead (2004) than a documentary, they even made the song to sound like a version of Johnny Cash's The Man Comes Around. I loved that intro, it made really happy for some reason
"Stan is more likely to be performative in his actions and is rarely willing to act on what he believes?" I'm sorry are you talking about the kid who became an environmental terrorist to save the whales?
I really wanted the Cartman plot to end with the school kids pointing out his numerous personality flaws. It feels more in line with how things usually go for Cartman.
Another fact about Cartman's shift in perspective about weight-loss: He can do it this way without any effort - simply take a shot to lose weight - I don't think that Cartman would embrace it if it took hard work lol.
@@sleazymeezy also this isn’t the first time this trucks been on South Park. Randy has one for a farm truck for tegridy farms. I like to think Ram is a silent sponsor for South Park😂
Thank you Blooms for making these kinds of videos. I remember you mentioning you wanting to lean away from South Park related videos, but nobody talks about South Park the way you have done before. You're a great content creator and I'll stick around for your future content, South Park related or not
i used to dislike South Park for their edgy humor, but the more video essays i watch about it makes me realize the creators really do care about their characters, and they care about sending a message with depth. Hearing the show creator actually gain weight and use ozempic himself made me respect the show a lot more. I had thought South Park was like the final boss of adult animation like brickleberry lol
No. It’s good. Been watching it since I was 12. My great grandmother accidentally introduced me to it 24 years ago. She used to call it “those loud mouthed characters”. She burst into hysterical laughter when she saw the old Chinpokomon episode. Good times.
South Park pulls no punches. It isn’t afraid to go after anyone and be extremely crude. But you can tell Matt & Trey have points to make when they make these episodes, like when they decided to go all out on Scientology
As a pharmacist I loved this special cause it highlights the truly sad nature of our healthcare system that made me laugh about some of the saddest aspects of my job
3:40 The opening sequence is a reference to 2004's Dawn of the Dead, which also has an opening with a johnny cash song, flash cuts of media and things seen through microscopes. which makes sense because south park once did an episode entirely about 2004's dawn of the dead (the homeless one)
The opening is funnier than you think. It's a reference to the movie Dawn of the Dead. Not the 70's version but the version from the early 2000's. In that opening a Johnny Cash song plays over news clips of a zombie apocalypse.
Loved this special. People talking about the show being preachy or not believing in anything, but when South Park actually goes all out and has a solid message, it's pretty impressive. I appreciate that they didn't act like we should feel any sympathy at all for the sugar industry.
Something that makes me laugh in the song about the American health care system, is that some nurses have a red cross pin, i want to see how long it takes before they are told something
I am also a hospital worker. Let me tell you nothing makes me not want to get a check up like all the bullshit the patients go through. I got sick overseas in Indonesia and my wife got on the phone and called the doctor and came back with Medication in an hour. I couldn't believe it.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Yeah, I am experiencing pain my whole life and yet only my GP takes me seriously so far. Any specialist doctor I've been referred to has not taken me seriously. I sometimes cannot do anything because of the pain, and I look on the outside like a "normal person". Hoping I can get seen by a neurologist finally to see if they can find anything. But so far even that's been a difficult task due to the health care system (Europe).
If a multi ethnic, island chain 3rd world nation like Indonesia with a population similar to the U.S. can have better healthcare, then them, it means we have no excuse at all
@@Vii-rb9vp it's embarrassing. I was REAL sick. Inner bleeding sick. Saw a patient in my position a couple days ago. Was two days before we got him the medicine he needs. All cause of insurance and all the hoops they set up.
Sorry for your experience. If you can, file a complaint against the doctors ir network group, i am not sure how it works in EU. I have faced the exact same thing
@@hmlandis1370 Of course they do... everyone does lmao... and south park is huge, every single episode will cause that outrage in some people, somewhere. Welcome to the internet noob!!!
as someone who just started as pharm tech a few months back, the montage hitting at the insurance and healthcare industries really hit me, especially since I do have to do billing and transacting both ;w;
longtime fan! Hearing that you are an RN is amazing, I am currently pursuing my BSN and the fact that you can do such amazing work and still find time to make these videos as a hobby and for our entertainment gives me a lot of hope that I can work as a nurse and still have a holistic life
If i'm being totally honest. I think this is my favorite special that they've released so far maybe besides the pandemic special. Everybody was themselves and acted without being forced while making sure they had all of the main characters. none of them had a role more important than the others (kinda like Blooms mentions in the video) and it was cool to see them all there, the animation was fucking awesome especially the truck chase scene and they had some really funny jokes as well. i really loved this special and i'm so glad that i got to see it the day it came out. the ending was amazing. Eric got what he wanted and it was hilarious.
I'm annoyed that south park took a shit at the bureaucracy of the USHCS but entirely ignored the AMA. Taking shots at everyone else but ignoring the one agency with the power to artificially restrict the amount of new physicians trained each year. It's why doctors are so overworked and paid so much. It's also why medical programs at colleges are so damn competitive because of the artificially limited amount of positions in any given program.
5:49 so according to Google. And ACL surgery can cost anywhere from $5394 to $34195. When I had mine in the Netherlands I paid 40 Euro's. No questions asked from my insurance company
You see here in America, the greatest freest nation in the whole wide universe, we have something that you don't in these commie socialist countries called freedom, the freedom to choose how much we want to suffer until "it ends", that is as long as you have the money to pay for that privilege.
YOU paid 40... who paid for the rest? What are your taxes like? Instead of being taxed, I have several choices of providers at group discounts/subsidized by employer through my employer... I could choose private beyond that... or choose a .gov sponsored plan... or go without. Freedom.
6:06 THIS. Even in a country many consider a dream country I was meeting with the psychiatric doctors for 3 years and got nowhere with my mental health. They did diagnose me with autism and adhd and I got medicated which was a great help, but that was year one. Last two years they just put me in a psych ward and abandoned me when I turned 18. The adult ward I’ve been seeing since has just done the same by making me wait for months and then sending me to someone else. When I finally got to an actual doctor she was ignorant and mean and only wanted to undo the only thing the young ward did for me
@@wavemasterxyra1630 Things are far far far more complicated then just mastering yourself. In many cases mental illnesses ARE treatable, many of them are caused by chemical irregularities in the brain which can be regulated through medications and some specific therapeautic methods. You can't just master yourself into producing more dopamine if your receptors are fried.
@@wavemasterxyra1630What is a schizophrenic supposed to do to master their mental illness? Finally listen to the voices to kill them all? Sorry it's just that it sounds funny.
The healthcare system was ruined by greedy insurance companies. Fun fact, Obama care, which tried and failed to be a centralized insurance company/law actually made things worse. It tried to cap health insurance, but it just made things more expensive and allowed insurance companies to take advantage of the loophole created to up charge and deny more claims then ever. Funny enough, before Obama care. Health insurance was more affordable and companies were more scrutinized. Now unless you want to get insurance through the government website it’s beyond expensive and the ones on the gov website are one of the worst options to pick from
@@walrusArmageddon Isn't Special K a diet cereal? I'd count it if she was out there fronting some Frosted Flakes with Tony the Tiger, talking about "they greeeee-at!" and shit.
@chill_will9816 I had to Google the ingredients (thank god I didn't get the other special k) and while it's a majority rice and wholewheat flour it seems like its more meant to be nutritious than a diet cereal. The only sugar seems to be barley sugar at 5% which is pretty good tbh, but I wouldn't personally call it diet. Now I'll wait for a nutritionist to tell me I'm 100% wrong and you're correct lol
I worked for BCBS and this is so true. Except average people don't know the process to get meds approved and even if their lives depend on it, nobody tells them. I had to guide people to navigate the system to get the drugs they needed to save their lives. Not everyone knows that we can help them until they call member services.
I'm British. I've had 2 surgeries, a year in hospital, dozens of scans and procedures and on and on and on. Because i can't work until this is sorted, the government pays me money so i can do more then just sit at home waiting for the next procedure. This is free. Yes i pay taxes. The NHS costs about 2% of my salary. Maybe 5%? Yeah, you don't actually have to do what you do, America.
We know that, trust me. There are a few issues though. Our voting is done per person, so no one actually knows what everyone else voted for, so if the government says "looks like the majority voted to not change anything" we basically have to take them at their word, because they WILL lie to us about it otherwise. We would need completely open voting to change that. Secondly, the bribes from the medical industry stops most politicians from doing anything on their end. Note: Medical industry, not medical professionals. The people working as doctors/nurses/pharmacists/etc. are usually all for changing things to be better for us. It's the corporate layer where they don't give a crap and would rather see us die than lose any of the money they get from us. We can only do so much without going the French route. Though I do love the sense of style that it takes to just put one outside of the building in full view like that.
We pay higher taxes indirectly, but as long as minorities don't get affordable Healthcare it's a sacrifice America is willing to make! If you want to kill anything for regular citizens, convince them black people will benefit from it and it'll fail.
It doesnt help we have way more people. Plus literally 50 different states that are basically their own countries. The taxes would be way higher, eapecially with the already basic medical taxes we already pay, we bearly have any money to spare for additional taxes. Most people go to the hospital roughly once a year even less then if you actually take care of yourself.
@@beno22iscool Eh, there's more of us than yours think. UK: 67 million US: 333 million And you have much more funds per person. GDP per capita: UK: $46,000 US: $76,000 We, in the UK, spend about 5% of our income towards the National Health Service. Americans pay a lot more as a percentage towards your insurance. So, whenever you think about this or discuss it, remember it's not a financial limitation and there's a good chance you'll save money on your monthly income. As for the 50 states thing, remember who they work for and who can vote them out don't take, "but it's so haaaaaaard" as an excuse from them! 😉
I think that the coolest part of that episode was how much Kyle understood the distinction between obesity and health issues. If I remember correctly, he refers to obesity as a disease, not because it “is” but because of the health issues that come with it, and I thought it really got the point across.
My mum needs Ozempic to maintain her diabetes and there was a shortage 4 times due to people using it like this so I'm glad Matt and Trey addressed this issue on South Park.
Thin Cartman was so hilarious when he was making fun of Kyle and co as they had no comeback to his thin self Probably my favorite Cartman next to Jewish Cartman and the airsoft one.
Universal Health Care like Canada and most European countries makes it available to all with no insurance issue. In Canada we have added free dental care for all. It's not perfect but it's better then insurance nightmares.
in Chile, high sugar products can't target minors, so cereal mascots died. Just plain colored boxes. it's an amazing law. if companies want mascots in the boxes, they need to lower the sugar levels

Fun fact not related to South Park: the singer for the famous song "You're a Mean One (Mister Grinch)" in "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" was uncredited for decades. It turns out it was the voice actor for Tony the Tiger.
The sound warning was unnecessary, it's not an unpleasant sound, at keast not till they put the image in my head Also, lizzo not realizing this was a huge dig was really funny.
What's really annoying is the medication (dulaglutide) is intended to help diabetics, the weight loss is a additional effect and it has a minimal effect if anything for weight loss. I am from the UK and because in America it's being advertised as a weight loss cure the price and demand has gone through the roof. I now have difficulty getting it on prescription for my diabetes because it's being sold in America as a weight loss cure, which it isn't. I wonder how many people are unable to get a drug that helps them because Americans are buying a drug after falling for the marketing. It still comes down to will power, the drug is not a miracle cure to lose weight. Just eat less, eat healthily and exercise. It will soon become more available once people taking it fail to lose much, if any weight. I suppose it could help weight loss as a placebo, annoying it comes at the cost of treating diabetics.
Yeah, I have reproductive metabolic disorder and the tablet form of that drug, or similar, has been suggested to me if my metformin doesn't work. The main goal of that for me is weight loss... because of the insulin resistance making it difficult and the risk of cardiovascular problems in the future. It's very strange, because now people are talking about how these drugs shouldn't exist and people should "just lose weight" - misunderstanding the reason for the treatments entirely
The "Folk cover of the theme song" is actually more specifically a parody of Johnny Cash's "When the man comes around" with slight changes and replacing the lyrics with South park theme, while the intro also is a parody of 2006 "Dawn of the Dead" intro sequence where Johnny Cash's Original is used. Or, to say it differently "Obesity epidemic" intro is parody of the "Start of Zombie Epidemic" Intro of 2006 Dawn of the Dead and they also recreated parody version of the Johnny Cash song that backed the same intro so it has layers of parody you could say. But also subtle enough because while big at the time enough for Left 4 Dead modders to recreate it somewhat, 2006 Dawn of the Dead is way less remembered these days.
6:00 i was straight uo forgotten about by the doctor and nurse that were supposed to notify someone to take me from my room in the hospital to the psyche ward on the other side of the road and as soon as my mom asked a nurse literally walking by they got me there within ten minutes. I love the healthcare system!
The lizzo joke was the best part, but yes, the psychiatric system is the fkng worst. I've looked for help since 2020 and keep ending up in handcuffs instead of in therapy. It's fkng frustrating as hell
I love how detailed the special is. I know Urdu and Samskrt, and I can say the text in Cartman's dream and the factory scene was absolutely on point, and that Matt and Trey are geniuses.
They actually went easy on the healthcare system I’ve been dealing with it a lot the past few years and it’s a freaking nightmare even just getting the insurance to cover medicine that you need to live is daunting. Pointless test endless paperwork months of waiting people think the DMV is bad well this is a maze and one miss step puts you back at square one.
I am surprised south park is still going, given how corporates seem to be bending over and kissing @$$ of vocal minorities (note, minority just means a small group of people, in this case, referring to groups with outlandish opinions.) and completely ignoring their fans and main customer base.
When I went to live in the US and during my time at first IN the US I was still convinced the USA were “the best”… By the time I left to go to Europe I didn’t believe that anymore… And having now lived in Europe for a now non-negligible amount of time (3 years) I can say i’m glad i’m out of there… Seriously, went to get an ultrasound done in France and, while uninsured, it cost be 15ish euros (counting the extra of them storing the data for 10 years as well as a specialist looking at said scan to see what was going on). Non-lethal pricing of the medical system is just 1 of the positives btw Now, talking to Americans in America who wholeheartedly believe in “America #1” is saddening. True corporate brainwashing
My favourite part about ozempic and people abusing it is that the moment those people stop taking it - they gain the weight back. It’s almost like a healthy relationship with food and exercise and actually giving a damn about yourself and disciplining your body and mind is the best thing to do.
It really is sugar that can make all the difference. When I went on my "Alcatraz Diet" in 2018/2019 the result was 91 pounds lost, all by cutting out *ALL* sugar and only ate peanut butter toast on the daily. End result was the lowest body weight ever in my life but resulted in anemia twice, bruising, orthostatic hypotension, and mild case of dysmorphia leading me to hate eating. After 29 years of being the fat kid you could understand why. Then again being 169 pounds at 6'2" wasn't normal so toning up was the logical answer. I looked like some lanky creepypasta looking freak.
To make it worse, the US and Israel were the only countries in the UN to vote against food being a right. This was almost 3 years ago. Food is politicized and has and always will be. That's how the impoverished and marginalized stay that way. It's not about class or democracy, it's the rich vs the poor.
Fun fact: Nestle recently added sugar to their baby formula.

They've been getting called out pretty consistently for the past 30+ years; we just don't see any changes. Probably won't either, at least for the better
@@RT-qd8yl True, true we can at least hope I guess... Still cool that a big series like South Park finally called them out!
Didn't they make fun of people calling out the healthcare system and said something like "It's fine. The problem is just that American need to eat less?"
That part I did laugh at
@@ashblossomandjoyoussprung.9917 "Stand up for what you believe in, unless reason and experience prove you wrong.' -Daria
It's good to have beliefs and ideals, but always be open to know its limits when you encounter them.
As someone with a chronic illness who is constantly having to deal with the Healthcare system I can say that this episode was depicted so well that I was actually getting anxious waiting to see if cartman would get approved for his meds
The US healthcare system isn't just bad, it's almost criminal. Standard policy is the more important something is the less likely you are to get your insurance to cover it. If you want something like a P pump it's covered. However if you need a heart transplant or bypass the company will delay as long as possible hoping you die before the claims go through.
I really don’t get the US healthcare system like why isn’t it free like everywhere else
@@trainman9024 Eh "Free healthcare" has it's issues too. A lot of it is because the Govt covers the bills health care providers and pharma companies just keep inflating their prices. They also often only cover basic health care. If you have anything more serious it's usually not covered at all, or your put on multi year long waiting list.
So yeah both systems are rather broken when it comes to serious health issues.
@JustaGuy_Gaming its incredibly difficult to fault socialized Healthcare in the west, because in my opinion the two worst examples are from countries who're trying to follow the US's Healthcare practices.
Canada for example has socialized Healthcare, but decided to institute policies like MAID to circumvent medicating/treating its mentally ill and, more importantly, its poor. All while opening its borders to essentially exploit immigrants (people who coincidentally don't get citizenship.)
The UK also has Healthcare issues after the tory government essentially sold off the bones of the NHS to "private investors" who in turn decided they wanted to focus on procedures that would keep people paying for life.
For profit Healthcare is a fucking sham and insurance ghouls are a gaggle of subhumans.
@@saltybro2544 My eyes were opened to the issue with insurance from my Dentist. I could get something like half price if i paid in cash. It's for two reasons, one any deal with insurance basically doubles the price so they can offer you the "savings" of only paying the deductible.
Two the system is so convoluted and requires so much paper work to file claims most medical practitioners just prefer cash, it saves them fighting to get insurance companies to pay for possibly months.
The most shocking part of this special was finding out americans get ads for prescription drugs????? Im from the UK and that sounds absolutely insane to me
I know there is your doctor but how do you find out what medication to ask about considering there are like a million different ones
@@jsmith3946 honestly you'll usually just rely on your doctor to be honest and good at their job to prescribe you whatever medication they think is best for whatever your issue is at the time. If not then you have to do your own research about medication but doctors here can be very difficult if you're asking for a specific medication cos it isn't very typical to do that, so they'll usually assume you want that medication for a bad reason like to sell it
Yeah. It's fucking nuts.
@@jsmith3946 We rely on actual health professionals to know which drugs we need or whether we need them at all. We don't have drug hoes swanning about wards trying tk flick the latest drug, or have ads on TV or yt trying to get us to poster our doctors to prescribe us drugs.
How will I know I have a problem if I don't see an advert that starts in black and white and shows people being depressed like me until they take this drug and then everything turns into color and there's a puppy and I have a girlfriend now?
South Park is pretty old, I’m not surprised you have fans over 50. They were in their 20s when South Park started, so they were in the prime demographic.

@@AmirDarkOne it's a fascinating thing. It's not usually their fault. Some people just don't have the time to research what to eat, and cook healthy. In some areas, it encourages eating junk food due to a lack of grocery stores in the area. Let alone cheap ones like aldi

Better food is the solution. Can't say from experience cause I genuinely don't know how to gain weight. I myself can only eat so much

I got into medical industry recently and its crazy how many people are exploiting weight loss meds.
The insurance/health care in the US is just like the rehab circle loop in Florida. The “Florida shuffle”. Every company is in bed with the other companies that work with them. But it’s such a conflict of interest that they just have you going in circles while you’re just trying to get better/survive. Something really has to be changed about ALL of it.
In the end it's about the companies getting what they want and not what customers benefit from. That's the reality when you let them do their bidding, they'll just sew a perfect net to generate the biggest amount of profit possible at the cost of the common people.
Florida is such a funny state. Number 1 in the country for education. Ranks near the bottom for any type of healthcare.
My home state of Kentucky is number 1 in adult mental health care and 32 for juvenile mental health care for an average of 11th overall. I can’t say for health care in general though.
@@princesspikachu3915 Florida is literally the wildest lol. Like just the fact they have “Florida man” is wild enough lol
Not to mention, when i talk to health insurances as a customer, the person i talk to usually has no idea what there doing.
Compare that to when id call them a few years ago as pharmacy tech, they werent nearly as incompetent.
So the average person, who doesn't deal with health insurance on a regular basis get the morons. Meanwhile, the people more familiar to the system get the good ones.
Ive had a lot of situations where, if i wasnt familiar with the system, nobody would have any idea what to do. For example, my insurance once told me prescriptions cant have secondary insurances. Most people aren't as familiar with health insurance as i am. How are they supposed to resond to that?
Dude it really sucks in Tennessee too. One of my in laws from California (who has been to rehab and has very bad, enabler habits) wants to help open up clinics in the rich areas… whereas our jail is almost halfway full of people that desperately need mental health care and there’s not a single place to send them… the only place in middle Tn has like 16 beds and it takes forever to get in. So no one’s getting help, we’re imprisoning people in crisis or drug addiction with NO actual help available and none of our politicians want to even talk about it. The only people interested are the ones that think they can make money off of this crisis.
3:40 Actually the opening was more like a parody of the intro from the movie Dawn of the Dead (2004) than a documentary, they even made the song to sound like a version of Johnny Cash's The Man Comes Around. I loved that intro, it made really happy for some reason

I really wanted the Cartman plot to end with the school kids pointing out his numerous personality flaws. It feels more in line with how things usually go for Cartman.
Another fact about Cartman's shift in perspective about weight-loss: He can do it this way without any effort - simply take a shot to lose weight - I don't think that Cartman would embrace it if it took hard work lol.
exactly, this is an easy way out with no effort towards eating healthy and exercising
Cartman only puts effort in if it’s to find a way out of doing something the proper way, to profit off others, or to spite Kyle.

Thank you Blooms for making these kinds of videos. I remember you mentioning you wanting to lean away from South Park related videos, but nobody talks about South Park the way you have done before. You're a great content creator and I'll stick around for your future content, South Park related or not
Southwark STILL holds up today, the most consistent cartoon by a MILE.
i used to dislike South Park for their edgy humor, but the more video essays i watch about it makes me realize the creators really do care about their characters, and they care about sending a message with depth. Hearing the show creator actually gain weight and use ozempic himself made me respect the show a lot more.
I had thought South Park was like the final boss of adult animation like brickleberry lol
No. It’s good. Been watching it since I was 12. My great grandmother accidentally introduced me to it 24 years ago. She used to call it “those loud mouthed characters”. She burst into hysterical laughter when she saw the old Chinpokomon episode. Good times.
South Park pulls no punches. It isn’t afraid to go after anyone and be extremely crude. But you can tell Matt & Trey have points to make when they make these episodes, like when they decided to go all out on Scientology
At its core it is edgy humor but it is also much more.
As a pharmacist I loved this special cause it highlights the truly sad nature of our healthcare system that made me laugh about some of the saddest aspects of my job
3:40 The opening sequence is a reference to 2004's Dawn of the Dead, which also has an opening with a johnny cash song, flash cuts of media and things seen through microscopes. which makes sense because south park once did an episode entirely about 2004's dawn of the dead (the homeless one)
this episode had me in tears... every beat of the writing was on point, every joke landed, the animation, i swear this was a 10/10 special..
0:52 i guess you can call it.. a cereal killing
I will invade your no-no square
The opening is funnier than you think. It's a reference to the movie Dawn of the Dead. Not the 70's version but the version from the early 2000's. In that opening a Johnny Cash song plays over news clips of a zombie apocalypse.
Loved this special. People talking about the show being preachy or not believing in anything, but when South Park actually goes all out and has a solid message, it's pretty impressive. I appreciate that they didn't act like we should feel any sympathy at all for the sugar industry.
Something that makes me laugh in the song about the American health care system, is that some nurses have a red cross pin, i want to see how long it takes before they are told something
Can you commit a war crime if it's a parody?
Cartman naming his ultimate food bomb the Stormy Daniels had me laughing forever haha.

I am also a hospital worker. Let me tell you nothing makes me not want to get a check up like all the bullshit the patients go through.

Glad you had a pleasant visit in Indonesia
Thank you for sharing your experience. Yeah, I am experiencing pain my whole life and yet only my GP takes me seriously so far. Any specialist doctor I've been referred to has not taken me seriously.
I sometimes cannot do anything because of the pain, and I look on the outside like a "normal person".
Hoping I can get seen by a neurologist finally to see if they can find anything.
But so far even that's been a difficult task due to the health care system (Europe).
If a multi ethnic, island chain 3rd world nation like Indonesia with a population similar to the U.S. can have better healthcare, then them, it means we have no excuse at all
@@Vii-rb9vp it's embarrassing. I was REAL sick. Inner bleeding sick. Saw a patient in my position a couple days ago. Was two days before we got him the medicine he needs. All cause of insurance and all the hoops they set up.

longtime fan! Hearing that you are an RN is amazing, I am currently pursuing my BSN and the fact that you can do such amazing work and still find time to make these videos as a hobby and for our entertainment gives me a lot of hope that I can work as a nurse and still have a holistic life
If i'm being totally honest. I think this is my favorite special that they've released so far maybe besides the pandemic special. Everybody was themselves and acted without being forced while making sure they had all of the main characters. none of them had a role more important than the others (kinda like Blooms mentions in the video) and it was cool to see them all there, the animation was fucking awesome especially the truck chase scene and they had some really funny jokes as well. i really loved this special and i'm so glad that i got to see it the day it came out. the ending was amazing. Eric got what he wanted and it was hilarious.
I'm annoyed that south park took a shit at the bureaucracy of the USHCS but entirely ignored the AMA. Taking shots at everyone else but ignoring the one agency with the power to artificially restrict the amount of new physicians trained each year. It's why doctors are so overworked and paid so much. It's also why medical programs at colleges are so damn competitive because of the artificially limited amount of positions in any given program.
To be fair, it would be hard to add that on top of all the roasting already occurring.
5:49 so according to Google. And ACL surgery can cost anywhere from $5394 to $34195. When I had mine in the Netherlands I paid 40 Euro's. No questions asked from my insurance company

YOU paid 40... who paid for the rest? What are your taxes like? Instead of being taxed, I have several choices of providers at group discounts/subsidized by employer through my employer... I could choose private beyond that... or choose a .gov sponsored plan... or go without. Freedom.

6:06 THIS. Even in a country many consider a dream country I was meeting with the psychiatric doctors for 3 years and got nowhere with my mental health. They did diagnose me with autism and adhd and I got medicated which was a great help, but that was year one. Last two years they just put me in a psych ward and abandoned me when I turned 18. The adult ward I’ve been seeing since has just done the same by making me wait for months and then sending me to someone else. When I finally got to an actual doctor she was ignorant and mean and only wanted to undo the only thing the young ward did for me
There is no cure for your issues. You have to master yourself and only you can do that. It is tough, but not impossible.
@@wavemasterxyra1630 Things are far far far more complicated then just mastering yourself.

The healthcare system was ruined by greedy insurance companies.
Fun fact, Obama care, which tried and failed to be a centralized insurance company/law actually made things worse. It tried to cap health insurance, but it just made things more expensive and allowed insurance companies to take advantage of the loophole created to up charge and deny more claims then ever.
Funny enough, before Obama care. Health insurance was more affordable and companies were more scrutinized. Now unless you want to get insurance through the government website it’s beyond expensive and the ones on the gov website are one of the worst options to pick from
My dad's on ozempic for his diabetes the use of it as a weight loss drug makes it hard for him to get it

I'm British.
I've had 2 surgeries, a year in hospital, dozens of scans and procedures and on and on and on.
Because i can't work until this is sorted, the government pays me money so i can do more then just sit at home waiting for the next procedure.
This is free.
Yes i pay taxes.
The NHS costs about 2% of my salary. Maybe 5%?
Yeah, you don't actually have to do what you do, America.
We know that, trust me.
There are a few issues though. Our voting is done per person, so no one actually knows what everyone else voted for, so if the government says "looks like the majority voted to not change anything" we basically have to take them at their word, because they WILL lie to us about it otherwise. We would need completely open voting to change that.
Secondly, the bribes from the medical industry stops most politicians from doing anything on their end. Note: Medical industry, not medical professionals. The people working as doctors/nurses/pharmacists/etc. are usually all for changing things to be better for us. It's the corporate layer where they don't give a crap and would rather see us die than lose any of the money they get from us.
We can only do so much without going the French route. Though I do love the sense of style that it takes to just put one outside of the building in full view like that.
We pay higher taxes indirectly, but as long as minorities don't get affordable Healthcare it's a sacrifice America is willing to make!
If you want to kill anything for regular citizens, convince them black people will benefit from it and it'll fail.
It doesnt help we have way more people. Plus literally 50 different states that are basically their own countries. The taxes would be way higher, eapecially with the already basic medical taxes we already pay, we bearly have any money to spare for additional taxes. Most people go to the hospital roughly once a year even less then if you actually take care of yourself.

Eh, there's more of us than yours think.

And you have much more funds per person.

US: $76,000
We, in the UK, spend about 5% of our income towards the National Health Service.
Americans pay a lot more as a percentage towards your insurance.
So, whenever you think about this or discuss it, remember it's not a financial limitation and there's a good chance you'll save money on your monthly income.
As for the 50 states thing, remember who they work for and who can vote them out don't take, "but it's so haaaaaaard" as an excuse from them! 😉
Start a grass roots campaign.
And make it clear, a healthy population, both physically and mentally, works harder and produces more GDP.
I think that the coolest part of that episode was how much Kyle understood the distinction between obesity and health issues. If I remember correctly, he refers to obesity as a disease, not because it “is” but because of the health issues that come with it, and I thought it really got the point across.

Also, lizzo not realizing this was a huge dig was really funny.
What's really annoying is the medication (dulaglutide) is intended to help diabetics, the weight loss is a additional effect and it has a minimal effect if anything for weight loss.
I am from the UK and because in America it's being advertised as a weight loss cure the price and demand has gone through the roof. I now have difficulty getting it on prescription for my diabetes because it's being sold in America as a weight loss cure, which it isn't.
I wonder how many people are unable to get a drug that helps them because Americans are buying a drug after falling for the marketing.
It still comes down to will power, the drug is not a miracle cure to lose weight. Just eat less, eat healthily and exercise.
It will soon become more available once people taking it fail to lose much, if any weight. I suppose it could help weight loss as a placebo, annoying it comes at the cost of treating diabetics.
Yeah, I have reproductive metabolic disorder and the tablet form of that drug, or similar, has been suggested to me if my metformin doesn't work. The main goal of that for me is weight loss... because of the insulin resistance making it difficult and the risk of cardiovascular problems in the future. It's very strange, because now people are talking about how these drugs shouldn't exist and people should "just lose weight" - misunderstanding the reason for the treatments entirely
11:07 so sorry to hear about you offing yourself next week
The "Folk cover of the theme song" is actually more specifically a parody of Johnny Cash's "When the man comes around" with slight changes and replacing the lyrics with South park theme, while the intro also is a parody of 2006 "Dawn of the Dead" intro sequence where Johnny Cash's Original is used.
Or, to say it differently "Obesity epidemic" intro is parody of the "Start of Zombie Epidemic" Intro of 2006 Dawn of the Dead and they also recreated parody version of the Johnny Cash song that backed the same intro so it has layers of parody you could say. But also subtle enough because while big at the time enough for Left 4 Dead modders to recreate it somewhat, 2006 Dawn of the Dead is way less remembered these days.

They actually went easy on the healthcare system I’ve been dealing with it a lot the past few years and it’s a freaking nightmare even just getting the insurance to cover medicine that you need to live is daunting. Pointless test endless paperwork months of waiting people think the DMV is bad well this is a maze and one miss step puts you back at square one.
Planet Hollywood used to have Captain Crunch breaded chicken. It was pretty good.

I am surprised south park is still going, given how corporates seem to be bending over and kissing @$$ of vocal minorities (note, minority just means a small group of people, in this case, referring to groups with outlandish opinions.) and completely ignoring their fans and main customer base.
14:04 they matched the art style so perfectly, I didn’t know it was 3D
When I went to live in the US and during my time at first IN the US I was still convinced the USA were “the best”…
By the time I left to go to Europe I didn’t believe that anymore…
And having now lived in Europe for a now non-negligible amount of time (3 years) I can say i’m glad i’m out of there…
Seriously, went to get an ultrasound done in France and, while uninsured, it cost be 15ish euros (counting the extra of them storing the data for 10 years as well as a specialist looking at said scan to see what was going on).
Non-lethal pricing of the medical system is just 1 of the positives btw
Now, talking to Americans in America who wholeheartedly believe in “America #1” is saddening. True corporate brainwashing
My favourite part about ozempic and people abusing it is that the moment those people stop taking it - they gain the weight back.
It’s almost like a healthy relationship with food and exercise and actually giving a damn about yourself and disciplining your body and mind is the best thing to do.
19:00 "transitioning into an ad"...i got an actual ad
It really is sugar that can make all the difference. When I went on my "Alcatraz Diet" in 2018/2019 the result was 91 pounds lost, all by cutting out *ALL* sugar and only ate peanut butter toast on the daily.
End result was the lowest body weight ever in my life but resulted in anemia twice, bruising, orthostatic hypotension, and mild case of dysmorphia leading me to hate eating. After 29 years of being the fat kid you could understand why. Then again being 169 pounds at 6'2" wasn't normal so toning up was the logical answer. I looked like some lanky creepypasta looking freak.
To make it worse, the US and Israel were the only countries in the UN to vote against food being a right. This was almost 3 years ago. Food is politicized and has and always will be. That's how the impoverished and marginalized stay that way. It's not about class or democracy, it's the rich vs the poor.
Feet reveal when?
