Health care should be a right. Not a privilege you earn with money and age.
We pay taxes and the government decides what to do with them. In this case they want to blow on upgrading nukes when healthcare would be a better option.
William Stewart Yeah thats the plan. We seem to be backing away from it now tho...idk what we are backing towards but its mos def not that....
William Stewart Math is hard I guess if you learned how to count using either your teeth or your siblings you have fucked.
William Stewart If you try real hard you might someday make a valid point. However, when you speak like Trump that IF is probably never going to happen. Go away child.
Boomhauer, Health care is not a right, it is a privilege. I have gone in debt, I have spent the majority of my life studying to become a doctor so you can now come to me and tell me that my service is your right. Get a job and pay for your own health care and stop pushing your socialist/communist ideals.
Somewhere out there Obama is grinning like an idiot watching the GOP implode trying to repel the one thing he stacked his career on. Hats off to you Barack.
Wolfboss7 I would actually think that because Obama is a good guy, he's probably despairing of the people in power right now
Smarter probably, more charismatic certainly - "a good guy" though I don't know.
How would you define a good guy?
lol yeah, right as hes on vacation in the bahamas as far away from this dumpster fire he can be
@Joshua Brinkmann, Not Trump is a good start.
Aidan Fuge I guess, but when you're watching 8 years of your hard work implode and seeing your country suffer for it would kinda make you want to go to the Bahamas and put reality on hold for a bit.
It's exciting in a kind of disturbing way to witness the beginning of a young adult dystopian novel in real life!
May the odds be ever in your favour.. :P
The odds are not in our favor.
Joh1002mm first off none of this is happening everything trump does democrats go against and then half the republican party is going against him too
This is nothing new.
The original Stephen King dystopian novel "The Running Man" from the 70s - set in the 21st century:
The facist American government has dumbed down the populace (by putting on sadistic reality TV gameshows to distract them) and removed all environmental controls and any kind of healthcare that matters. [that's where we are now, by the way ..]
Benjamin Richards, whose wife supplements his meagre income by doing tricks as a prostitute, sees that his young daughter is dying of asthma thanks to the terrifying pollution levels.
He decides that his only course of action, like thousands of others, is to queue up outside the massive "Games Building" ... in the hope that he will be able to land a gameshow that might buy him some proper healthcare for his daughter.
After a lengthy mental and health examination, he strikes it lucky. He is to be hunted to the death on the best one of them all, "The Running Man" - for every day he survives, his family get $1000. If he makes it to 30 days (nobody ever has) - then he goes free, and he and his family are super rich.
That's what is happening right now.
Honestly - it's like what we're living through is a prequel to Stephen King's youthful dystopian novel.
Joh1002mm Fahrenheit 451, here we come
"We don't have a gun problem we have a mental health problem." Cuts mental health benefits. K?
I was thinking the same thing... Or how about:
"We're pro-life. Abortion should be illegal." Cuts maternity care.
Or your way: 'Who gives a flying crap if people die just because they're poor and can't afford care? Money is WAY more important than human lives, get with the program! I'm gonna stay on my high horse and think I'm right because I'm emotionally retarded due to my lack of a functioning conscience. So I say screw 'em, let their corpses line the streets - just not MY street, how bothersome-, as long as I have plenty of money, who gives a damn about anyone who isn't me? I'm a raging psychopath without a conscience so I don't empathize with other human beings in any recognizable way. I'll only give a damn when I'M the one suffering from lack of funds, and then, and ONLY then, will I whine and act outraged at this human rights infringement.' Yeah...No.
good job man, that made me giggle
Bet your all for an increase in military spending though
+CEOofFRESH1 "Adds $10,000,000,000,000 of debt in 8 years. #liberalmath" Apparently you were still in diapers when one of the greatest if not the greatest global economic crisis in history occured in 2008. You just don't ride out something like that and hope we pull out of it. #republicanmathmeanspraying
Trumpcare is perfect. It sits alongside Trump Casinos, Trump Steaks and Trump University quite nicely.
Nazif Abubakar sarcasm i hope
Pam Gifford all those other things failed miserably too.
It's a perfect match for his brand
+Pam Gifford If you have to ask, you missed the sarcasm all together
yeah you're right
It looks like they used all the ink for the cover and the inside is most definitely a ream of blank paper like those "company divestment folders".
When can we start impeachment?
Kasrose 8 we should start now
It begins now, he will be out in 1 year
Kasrose 8 yesterday
Kasrose 8...Aman...this crap is old already ready
Kasrose 8 When impeachment process begins
Republican Party hold this L
They've owned it since George Bush...
+sthezhunter. Since Regan... 💀💀💀
+Edith Thompson Probably Nixon
There's going to be a big ol' L in max-size font, bold, and underlined in 2018 for anyone who's up for re-election if it's known that they vote for this bill.
they cant, their hands are too small
I have free Healthcare.
-The Canadian
William Stewart you're an expert on Canadian life and politics?
No such thing as a free lunch, but I get what you mean.
Don't be bitter, Willie!!! lol!
Spock So do I: the Mexican
+Spock incredibly, so do I: The Brazilian
Republicans: If we were in control, the Health care system would be perfect! We have it all ready.
The people: Fine, you are in control. Where is this great healthcare?
Republican: Wait you mean right now? We are not ready yet.....
Exactly
Were too busy covering up trump tweets and looking for surveillance through microwaves. Not to mention who will pay for the wall. Whatever happens to our Muslim ban that's still in effect right GOP.... Let just cut Meals on Wheels and it will all be okay.- Republicans
Real choice would be for healthy Rich individuals should get Trump care and a one payer system for the lower income folk yes it would be more expensive and deductibles may still be high but still cheaper than a devastating illness. Why would this be so difficult to do? With Trump Care only the rich can afford good care. What is everyone else not in the top 3% suppose to do?
Kuma you forgot the Republicans reply: There isn't any. That's what makes it perfect.
E Lee India have largest muslim population? I though india is predominantly hindu. And Trump own hotel and golf course in Indonesia also his buddies, The Oil Company, have a lot of business in Indonesia I think that's why he doesn't banned Us
"Republicans Can't Get Their S**t Together", what a suprize.
*surprise
no no, they got it right the first time. You know republicans are slow and can only read at a first grade level. If they could read headlines then maybe we wouldnt be in this mess.
Headlines are kindergarden level, I think you mean they can read a couple words
Trump is seriously a disgrace
*dick. Fixed it for you.
You are so delusional. People, many people, are going to die under Trumpcare. The only people benefiting are the insurance companies and the wealthy (You know, psychopaths like Trurmp himself. Though he has the added bonus of being a malignant narcissist.)
Andre Knowledge357 Why are you bringing up Hillary Clinton???? Literally no one gives a fuck about her anymore.
How is that recession going??? Oooo we dont have one. Thanks Obama
Andre Knowledge357 Really?? 20 Trillion?? Oh yea you're right. President Obama chose to add the cost of multiple wars started after 9/11/01 to the accounting budget. Transparency really sucks...
I thought watching the GOP fall apart would be satisfying. But then I realized people's lives are dependent on these incompetent narcissists.
Well with the tantrum Trump pulled on Twitter earlier, it might just be a case that nothing ever moves from where it is now, and we just stay with the ACA until 2020. That's the second-best case scenario right now. The best is that SOMEHOW a positive expansion of the ACA goes through, but I highly doubt that will happen in the next few years.
The "best" part is trump said: I make the best deals, I have the best people, the best deal makers.
Indigo Osmanthus GOP is such a pathetic joke. They are just terrible at everything they for several decades now. Such great satisfaction still watching them flail failing and catching their supreme hypocrisy and lying daily
Indigo Osmanthus unfortunately for Americans, all change requires death. It, in fact, usually requires lots of death. Humans are not that reasonable. Yet.
I've been thinking about this lately and some review of the politics is in order. Some of the answers to your questions are contained within:
> Early 90s: HillaryCare, centered on an employer mandate, is a major policy project of the Clinton administration. At a time when television campaigns were still novel and effective, various health lobbies turn public opinion hard against Hillary-care, insinuating a "government takeover of health care". The bill fails and is partly credited for the Democratic disaster that was the 1994 midterms.
> In the process of defeating the bill, the Heritage Foundation produced a Republican alternative that instead centered on an individual mandate. This was the right-wing alternative to an employer mandate.
> The Heritage plan isn't adopted by the Gingrich Congress, but sticks around as policy and is eventually adopted (largely, some modifications) by Massachusetts Republican Governor Mitt Romney, in the mid-00s. The plan is successful at expanding health insurance coverage, but does little to bring down costs. Never really giving a shit about working-class incomes, DC policy wonks declare this a smashing success and it becomes a 'bipartisan' policy framework.
> Clinton ends up running on this framework - thereby effectively adopting the alternative to her 90s plan. Obama challenges her on this in debates, specifically targeting the individual mandate and pushing instead for a public option. Obama wins the primary and election.
> As the health care debate rages on in Congress, Obama ends up slowly de-emphasizing the need for a public option and slowly opens up to the idea of an individual mandate, thereby effectively switching to Hillary's stance in the primary. The bill passes after much sausage-making and is partly credited with the Democratic disaster that is the 2010 midterm.
> Republican assail Obamacare - which, again, is the outgrowth of their 90s framework for health care - as a socialist takeover of health care. Initially, during the Congressional debate stage, they promise to present an alternative. This never materializes. They then begin promising to "repeal Obamacare" - over time, this morphs into "repeal and replace" as a slogan.
> Somehow, Mitt Romney is chosen by the Republicans to be put in the position where he has to mobilize conservative opposition against Obamacare - which was an outgrowth of his own bill. He fails.
> Running against single-payer advocate Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton spends the 2016 primary actively campaigning against the idea that single-payer was a realistic goal, and actively claiming Medicare-for-all would destroy Obamacare.
> Donald Trump, recognizing that Republicans dislike Obama, and that they dislike Obamacare, decides to start including "repeal and replace Obamacare" as one of the things he says at his presidential rallies. It is a reasonable expectation that no further thought went into this. He wins the election.
So now we're at the point where:
> Last Democratic candidate actively ran against single-payer leftists, Dems have no idea what to do beyond "defend Obamacare"
> Republicans have been running on "repeal and replace" for years, but don't actually have a replacement, have no answer to millions without insurance, and are planning to repeal the bill which started as their alternative to an employer mandate. Oh, and they have a conservative base which has been fed "full repeal" rhetoric for 7 years.
> Donald Trump is discovering this stuff is hard
Really great comment. Shows how there's a good deal of hypocrisy on both sides
Legit recap.
read the whole comment if it makes you feel better
angel rosales I couldn't make the commitment lol
nice recap. so no matter who is in charge the common man does not out on top.
no mans skys all over again
jarod garza *sky
Kitty the Bizarre No land's guy? more like no buy sky
Kitty the Bizarre [reminds me of the time when dunkey beat sky in smash]
oh shit get rekt government
Kitty the Bizarre Dunkey much?
as a brit i just can't understand how someone wouldn't want universal healthcare, literally boggles my mind
NishGoyal money
NishGoyal as an Austrian I don't know either.. How can they be so stupid?!
AMKH right?! And the argument that it's socialist doesn't really make sense... Britain is hugely capitalist, most western nations are! It surely makes sense that a healthy populace is a productive one which is better for the country's finances and economic standing...
"We're pro-life. Abortion should be illegal." Cuts maternity care.
I thought republicans would know that THIS IS LIBRARY.
Go Dawgs.
Yes
yaaaasss
I don't get it. Explain it to me so I can 1+ this comment.
This is Library is a meme. Check out the video on our channel if you'd like :) hope that helped !
I swear I herd trump repeatedly say we're gonna be winning so much that we're gonna be tired of winning. Ouch the exact opposite!😝😝
don't think he knows the definition of the word winning.
Maybe he meant to say "We're gonna be whining so much until you get tired of whining.
don't take it too literally.... by "we" means "Trumps" not "Americans" and certainly not "United States".
He got tired of winning, so he stopped doing it.
"Republicans, slow down.
Health Care is long term commitment not a One-Night Stand.
Take it from me, Pre-legislation doesnt make anybody happy"
Classic!
"Trump's credibility is on the line"
Me: "What credibility?"
'vote on this shit bill or not, I don't care, I don't have time for this, the FBI could knock on my door any minute now' - thats what I read when I read the WaPo article.
Why not copying the Canadian Health System and make the health care a Human right regardless of income?!
@Che مثلية عربية Well apparently there are some people in the U.S.A who seems to misunderstand the Canadian health care system. So the first step would require educating people. After the Affordable Care Act passed, some people said they were going to try fleeing to Canadian, unaware that Canadian already had some form of an universal health care plan.
And about couple months ago I saw conversation in the comment section of another video. The conversation had two people claiming to be from Canada and trying to explain their country's health care system. And one person claiming to be from the U.S.A, who seemed to strongly believe that Canada was some type dystopia nightmare (I think dystopia nightmare were actually words they used). That an aspect Canada's healthcare system for reason included a lottery to determine who got treatment and who did not. Despite having two Canadians explaining this was wrong, the person from the U.S.A continued stead fast in there beliefs, accusing the Canadians of lying or being delusional.
So we have people who do not realize that Canada has universal health care type approach. And the people who are aware that Canada has a universal health care approach, seems to believe that Canada and the universal health care approach is the reason why. So those two obstacles we have to deal with. I do think the Affordable Care Act was an improvement to are health care. Possibly still a work in progress, and might need some improvements itself. But I still think it was improvement over what we had before, and definitely much better then health care plain that Trevor mentions in this video that some Republicans our trying to push for.
As an American, I am still surprised that it is this hard for people to view Universal Healthcare as a potential solution. The answer to our healthcare problem is literally right there! Universal. Health. Care.....ugh, I'm living in a dormitory of majority made stuck up, overly wealthy, selfish people.
"Repeal and Replace", the highly anticipated debut single by MC Trump and DJ Paul Ryan is, shockingly, a flop.
Last time I was this early, Obama was still President.
Blake H. I wish he still is.
Blake H. I wish he was he is better then trump
w
Blake H. Fuck I miss those good old days
Ahhh yes, the man of peace.
My baby reacted to Trump, she vomited. I recorded it :)
lol nice! how old is she?
only 5 weeks :D
my favorite quote: "The problem is, the healthy people are paying for the sick people."
Isn't that how health insurance works?
+David Timmer that's why it's so funny.
Holy shit Mike Pence doesnt age! He is swamp vampire!
I guess that's what happens if you sell your soul to the devil..
Kevin Lopez LMBAO!
A swampire!
lmao!
Secretly hoping Comey finds something incriminating to end this lunacy... 🤞
At this point I'm praying for a corrupt cop to plant evidence just I can stop hearing about it every damn day
Looking at his diet and the tint of his skin, he might just end up getting a heart attack out of nowhere.
BurgerInParadice34 he's up to his neck in this message thanks to him not revealing what he knew about Trump when he lied about Clinton!
You're terrible at keeping secrets.
Really who are these 439 who dislike this video? Can we hear your point of view because i simply do not get it.
I can't believe how ridiculous this is getting
Way to go republicans you done fucked it up. You had one job.
Mr. Plinkett This healthcare plan needs a serious anal-sys
Is America great yet?
"premature legislation" doesn't make anyone happy!! #floored 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭
Trump Supporters: Obama is ruining the country!
Republican Party: Dude, hold my beer.
I have free healthcare.
- The U.K.
OpticPotatOS P.S:- We're not a 'Socialist' country, either ... especially under our current Prime Minister...
I am from Germany and we have a good healtcare system here too. I just don't get stupid Trump supporters who think healthcare is communism.
OpticPotatOS born in Canada. Nuff said :)
nigelft No, definitely not under May and the Conservatives
In the UK we call this an omnishambles.
I haven't been this early since the last time I premature legislated.
yes...yes... everything is proceeding as I have foreseen it!
Lol. Trump/Ryan care couldn't pass because they started the process of putting together a Bill in 64 days, when they had 7 years to plan.
I absolutely require mental health care. If Mental Health Care was stopped and I had to suddenly withdraw from my medications, I could go on a psychotic Rampage. I have had only one other psychotic break in my life and it was from being suddenly pulled off of medication, and because of the medications I'm on and how long I have been handling and stabilizing my mental health, I could really devolve. I don't think that people realize that cutting Mental Health Care could literally create killers... because if you end up in a paranoid delusion and think someone is attacking you, your internal fight-or-flight mechanism could prompt you to defend yourself in absolutely any way possible. All of this is honestly terrifying.
Huh. I did not know Mike Pence or Ryan Paul existed before 2017.
Valhalla "no one knew who I was until I pissed them all off"
And now it is completely scraped.
I guess they were tired of winning so much - so they let this one pass.
Chaos has never been so beautiful
Love you Trevor👍🏽☝🏽✌🏽❌⭕️❌⭕️💯😂😂
Ryan barked for 7 years about Obama care,now he's wondering WHO IN THE HELL LEFT THE GATE OPEN.
I have free Healthcare.
- The Swede
I hope this doesn't pass today. So worried about losing my coverage.
Guns for the extremely mentally ill: yes
Medicine for the extremely mentally ill: no
what could go wrong?
What I really don't get about the United States is that politicians can just lie and people don't seems to care. Here in the Netherlands (and I'm guessing most of Western Europe), if a politician lies, it's hot news and the politician will lose supporters instantly...
this guy is awesome!! I love his spin on News
And let's not forget about the GOP's continued use of the Congressional Review Act to repeal regulations made within the last months of the previous administration (i.e., Wall Street regulations, endangered animal regulations, etc.) - and now their focus is privacy. The senate just passed a repeal of the privacy laws regulating internet providers sharing customers' personal information. They will now be able to sell it to advertisers without our consent (if the bill passes through the House and gets signed by Trump)
so this is american dream where u cant get healthcare!!
it's sad when they are called "moderate republicans"
As a Liberal, my anger & frustration for all this mess is now aimed at my fellow Liberals/Democrats.....seriously how are we here right now! Instead of educating and enlightening the 'uneducated', we mocked & alienated them and called them names (racist, deplorable, bigots, morons). Now we along with them (Trump supporters) are all screwed. 2020 has to be diff
Denise H it's never too late to learn that politics shouldn't be approached like a sports game, where you pick one side and simply antagonize the other
It's all the the DNC's fault
"Walmart on a Black Friday". Thank you, Trevor!
You had me until "Drake releases an album and it's perfect".
When will CC start broadcasting their episodes on their app for other countries other than US?!?! This is pure entertainment, what a time to be alive!!
Noah 2020!
He wasn't born in this country
according to the right, neither was Obama
murray webb he is from South Africa
logan chase I'm quite aware. I'm actually rooting for Oprah to run in 2020.
They just found out its so much easier to point the finger. Then to fix the problem... Sad
and this is what people voted for...
Theodes Lewis No. Some people's votes were worth more than others.
Theodes Lewis gerrymandering
the hypocrisy is sad
so early don't know what to comment

Hi.
I dont understand why healthcare in America isn't free being a first world country,Canada healthcare is free.i live in Jamaica and yes it's a third world country but health care is free and for tertiary education the government pays 75% of the total cost.
first
dammit
This makes me so sick to my stomach. Think I am going to run.
Lmfao! Republicans have turned The US government into WALMART on Black Friday!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Health Care 101: Leaving one company to provide healthcare for all has only one outcome: High Premiums. Cutting services doesn't diminish the expense. However, sharing the burden, does.
Too many companies were allowed to exit the ACA and leave a few to hold the bag......
The Closer couldn't close!
Don't wait to the last minute to study for the exam.
No mention of the koch brothers and how they told republicans that 300-400 million dollar pool would be against any republican that voted for this bill and would be in favor of anyone who voted against it?
I like the commercial at the end, talking about how I can watch the full episode for free on dailyshow.com...
The only thing I can watch there is a screen with a low quality picture saying; "Sorry 'bout that. This video is not available from your location"...
I've heard some people will be paying half their yearly income to afford healthcare.. as someone living in a Nordic European country with universal coverage that's crazy, I've gone to the hospital quite a few times in my life, had treatments done and yet never been billed one cent for it
free episodes aren't available in my country. Do something, Trevor!
Man that one scene with Trevor trying so hard to control his laughter is priceless. I mean come on. Seven years. For this??? Just Wow
Trevor Noah is going down in history. This guy speaks the TRUTH! #Goodshit
Can't wait to see the show tonight!!!!!!!!!!
Damn, you're killing it, Daily Show!
that's why i hate this aspect of democracy , amateurs running Govt while hard working ppl , working under them !
Keep preaching Trevor!
7 years of nagging about obamacare and now nothing to offer... What a mess
"So much winning"
LOL Best part of the Episode
give public same HEALTH CARE that the elected officials have...
the art of no deal lol
I don't get it. A government of the people for the people? More like a government of the incompetent for the brainless.
I wonder when people will understand that it is not burning, rather, it is burnt, and that they are at the point where they are supposed to piss on the ashes, because there's nothing left.
Always the best, Trevor 👏👏👏
Point well taken!!!!
What the hill Trevor!! I went to cc.com it shows "This video is not available from your location"
I write you from Saudi Arabia
Trump said last night too that if there wasn't a vote, he was walking away from healthcare for good. Let's see if he does.
The volume of the end logo is way too loud
Usually not a good idea to go up to your boss the ones who can fire you from your job and tell them that you'll fire them.
This is so typical. They are afraid of what will happen. They don't want to joint the unemployed.
Its fun to watch and laugh at the way the government works and dont work. I just hope the American people take it seriously soon before its to late
The new health care is like me doing an essay the day before its do hoping the teacher loses it.
Trevor should have done a mic drop after what Paul Ryan said in 2009. Speaks for itself.
Anyone saying that Trevor doesn't know what he is doing talking about politics when he was from South Africa. At least he has common sense to know what is going on.
Absolutely Crazy! I really believe that d.t. has never had to answer to anyone for anything and he's treating the presidency the same way. Good Vid.
Come on, Republicans. You've said for 8 years that you can do better. So do better.
Maybe they are just tired of winning?
