As european... healthcare is NOT free, it's tax funded. We all pay, so when we need it it should be provided. One for all, all for one. My brother-in-law had brain cancer, he had 2 or 3 brain surgeries, hospitalisation, hemo. Full treatment from ambulance ride to fully recovered - it cost him nothing. In america he would be dead or millions in debt.
Thats whats annoying about how they market it. Its free at the point of service and is covered by taxes, obviously not nothing is being paid for. For some reason Americans cant make that connection or once they do they short circuit and focus on not wanting their taxes to cover others.
That’s not entirely true since universal healthcare is paid for disproportionately by the rich. The poor might pay something but it’s drowned in comparison with what people above them in income pay. In the US, we often hear propaganda against national health insurance making poor people think that they will be paying for it
@@morbid1. I lived in Germany for years and the "universal" healthcare that gets touted as amazing is anything but. They took about 8% of my salary for healthcare, which is fine, but the quality of the healthcare was nowhere what it is here. I still think the SYSTEM iss better than what we have here though. We don't have it because people are selfish and also don't realize providing everyone with a basic level of healthcare is overall better for the success of a society long term.
I'm Czech and everyone has to have insurance which is 13.5 % of wage (so from average income that's 232 USD/month, students, children and seniors are insured for free). I then got an ambulance to hospital at 4 am and spent the morning at ER and paid 4 USD (!!) which they charge so people wouldn't misuse that 😅
@parkermaki3799 yes but the law doesn’t say anything about itemized bills so the hospital doesn’t care and they’re only getting worse as private companies buy up all the hospitals to turn them into cash cows with low overhead.
@@ScoobieDoobie19747428% of your tax dollar goes to healthcare in Canada. So, for the average Canadian we make 68k, and that tax bracket is 20% tax. So average Canada gives 3.8k a year on healthcare from their tax. In America if you make 68k a year you are still getting taxed for 20% but you have no healthcare in your tax dollar. For America lowest health insurance you can get is probably 8k a year. And as we know with ANY insurance they will try to avoid paying you when you need it. And this 8k is ignoring additional costs like ambulance, extra medications, testing, etc.
@@bobbobby475 Unfortunately most people are too ignorant to understand this and just see what Hasan said, that American healthcare is shiny and luxurious and public systems feel dreery and depressing. Ignoring whats actually important, not bankrupting yourself and getting treated adequately.
I’m an EMT so I work in an ambulance 4 days a week, and it’s crazy what the company charges. Costs are generally 1,500-3,000 but it depends on the type of ambulance. If you’re on a CCT (critical care transport) then it’s more like $10,000. If you’re on ECMO (extra corporeal membrane oxygenation) then it’s like $15,000 for every mile you drive over 10 miles. If you end up on an air ambulance (helicopter or plane), it’s gonna run you around 60,000-90,000 depending on where you are. At the hospital we will normally ask for two signatures, one saying that we brought you to the hospital safely and the other saying that now that you are dropped off, you are no longer under our care. If someone like Austin doesn’t sign it a nurse or doctor can sign it for us on behalf of you. Even then if nobody signs it we are authorized to sign for you
@ I don’t disagree it’s really messed up. I was asked one time to resubmit a patient care report because the billing department messed something up and couldn’t charge them properly. Turns out the patient was already deceased at that point.
I was involved in an accident, the skin around my cheekbone was torn open as if it was cut with a knife and i was bleeding quite heavily. A plastic surgeon wanted to directly stitch it up in the ER, but the wound was contaminated with dirt and small rocks, and it was too deep that he was afraid that it cut through the nerves on my face. I was hospitalized for around a week because the operating rooms and or the plastic surgeon were not available (higher priority to life threatening injuries). I was discharged the day after the surgery and the bill, which includes specialist, bed and medications was only around 50 USD for a citizen that is not working for the government, otherwise it would've been completely free. Further visits to the specialist clinic were only around 1 USD for everything per visit. If you are a foreigner, the charge for a plastic surgeon and week of bed would be around 500 USD (probably less). It was a government hospital funded by a poor third world country that is severely understaffed and underfunded. I'm confused why the richest and most advanced country in the world couldn't at the very least subsidized healthcare of their own citizens.
I broke my right humerus, I went through the surgery, got the arm cast and treatment for the pain, then a special splint to restrain the arm while gaining some movement in the hand, then I did physical therapy for about six months (and I kept doing those exercises at home), got the arm healed, fixed and properly functional. That almost didn't cost me a cent in Spain thanks to our free healthcare system, I had to pay for the splinter, but they returned me 80% of the cost of it.
I used to work in BPO in Philippines and I was a medical coder. We process L.A. based health insurances and mostly I processed for ambulance bills, insurances have standard price for 0 to 1 km. then price goes bigger the more kilometers droven by ambulance and it has certrain radius where insurance can cover the cost. If it’s already outside the radius, the claims will be denied. I remember also seeing 4 to 5 digits bill amount of doctor’s fee just only for the patient doing a visit/consultation. Getting sick and hospitalized in U.S. is really expensive.

My son had stomach pain. Turns out he needed an emergency appendectomy. Two different hospitals, emergency surgery, and 2 days in hospital. It cost $7-50 for his painkillers to bring home. TOTAL.
My dad went to the hospital without insurance ($11,000 per night) (due to short notice eligibility change for Medicaid). The next time he went, he had insurance, but they didn't approve the hospital (same price). 3rd time, he had insurance, but the insurance called the day after he got off life support and said they will no longer cover it starting that day. You're screwed no matter what. Get out by day 2, they have a lot of tools to put you on the hook.
Americans still not getting that public healthcare would be far cheaper than what we pay for health insurance and the care is better as well. We are so doomed.
I got air lifted from a crazy car accident and the bill is still more than Ive made in my whole life. Wish they would have left me in that ditch on the side of the road.
I used to spend 5-days in the hospital every 6 months, until a life-extending surgery removed my intestines. My savings are empty and my quality of life is severely reduced. Go America!
I broke my leg at work in Australia and had to get 2 revisions on my surgery because the public hospital was just an absolute mess. I was cramped into an overcrowded ward, forgotten by nurses often, and discharged with a poorly done surgery that basically set me up for arthritis in 10 years. Realised I could go to a private surgeon and hospital as it was covered under work injury insurance and the difference was crazy, so much more efficient, no waiting times, welldone surgery etc. Honestly quite sad because I would have not been able to afford private if it werent a work injury :(
The difference in quality of surgery between private and public is pretty much zero in Australia. Most of the time if you have a complex surgery or a complexity occurs during surgery a private hospital which normally forward you to a public hospital. The only real difference is wait times and you're more likely to get a private room.
@crawfs42 there are a lot of countries where there's a stigma that public hospitals have less qualified doctors and lower quality services than private facilities. I'm always curious which ones don't have any tangible differences.
Unfortunately the mixed systems leave all of the people with chronic conditions to the public system, whereas the private can offer cheap insurance to people who don't need much medical care. Thus the public healthcare provider is burdened with much more expensive, difficult patients and in use more frequently (because those people need more care) and will be labeled as ineffective, slow and burdensome. Meanwhile, the private healthcare providers don't get many patients and can create the facade of being efficient, cheap and quick. Over time it leads the public to believe that the private system is superior and to defund the public one.
I work at a hospital in the billing department, as long as we have your name and date of birth we have a service that will give us your SSN, so just because you didn't give your insurance info doesn't mean you won't get the bill.
How can yall know for sure though? There’s many people that can have the same name and possible the same birthday right? Like at least 2 people in this country have to
@juliagulia3426 I'm not exactly sure how their system works. The hospital just pay for the service. I'm sure there are some safeguards somewhere. But patients getting someone else's bill or patient records getting mixed up does happen more than you'd think.
@@layladystay nah, you won't end up in jail. They would send the bill to collections and eventually if you don't try and pay they will sue you and garnish your wages. They tried to do this to my sister who also worked at the hospital in management. Crazy that your employer can sue you just because you can't afford to pay your medical bills off of what they pay 🙃
I went to the ER once, nothing serious but it was about 40 bucks, for the generally higher cost of living in Norway I know I'll never be scared of the bill when going to a hospital.
co pay means you pay up to that much and then insurance covers after that. $9300 is close to mine and not that good at all. Its basically catastrophic emergency coverage. hospitals take advantage of this and charge whatever they want.
When I was 28 I was diagnosed with a tumor in my parathyroid and had it removed. I paid 7k out of pocket with having insurance. I still didn’t meet my out of pocket max.
I found out after I already had the surgery that my insurance never even approved the initial ultrasound that showed the tumor. The cost wouldn’t have been different since I didn’t hit the deductible. That could have stopped someone else who didn’t have the money to pay it. I hate the US healthcare system
(Tetralogy fallot with pulmonary atresia) I have open heart surgeries or heart surgery every 7-10 years they are around half a million dollars I was born with this condition and I will die with this condition. I love being an American citizen😄👍
I'm so glad to have free health care. While in Brazil the public health system is not perfect, and can always improve, and I would not trade it for the world. This year for the first time, I got into a problem with it that was not just "Wait long in the hospital till the doctor calls you", when I had a big dental problem. I usually go to private for dental because my grandpa's job had good insurance for it (but he retired this year), so when I went to the public hospital, the doctor was amazing and very helpful but she said for main more complicated procedure, the wait list was long and because mine was so urgent I went to find another private cheaper one to get that done fast. But I'm gonna do the other procedures for free at the public hospital, and that alone will save me sooo much. I also never had to worry about an ambulance, everyone immediately calls an ambulance when we see an emergency, I had never even thought about that being charged (it's literally an emergency service like the fire department!) in other countries until I saw Hasan talking on stream about how it works in the U.S. I also don't get why people get so defensive about public healthcare system in America because here we have the option to go in both, you don't need to ABOLISH private facilities, but having a public system makes so that poor people can have access at least and not just straight up get refused at the door of the hospital or go in debt for the rest of their lives.
Truth, spent a week in the grippy sock prison after a year of being shat on by life and just lost it and tried to take a shortcut to Jesus and 5 years later I'm only just getting to the end of my payments.
Best part of USA health care is that you spend pretty much the same amount of taxes towards health care as countries with so called free health care :D
I have a chronik illness and need meds every quarter they cost 2500 euros each time i pay 10 euros and the rest is free, (my insurance is like 200 or 300 euro per month but for everything).
in Philippines, they charge every piece of cotton balls used, pillows, bed cover and sheets, hospital gowns used by patient or gowns used by nurses and doctors. I’m a nurse there but I don’t work in Philippines. I witnessed my senior nurses how they itemized everything before they pass it to billing section.
The saddest part is Austin went to hospital for a disease that doesn't exist - stomach flu is some strange characterisation of norrovirus that Amercians have, the rest of the world doesn't refer to stomach flu.
Are you American? Have you lived here for years? They are exactly like this. You either pay a percentage if you have insurance, or they try to get you to pay it in full.
This would have cost 20 dollars in Sweden. Do Americans realize most institutions do not consider you a full democracy because you're not providing basic human rights like healthcare and free education?
That's literally how I feel about American health care. If you're not rich it sucks. So 50/50 chance of survival for free, or 50/50 with a bill so high living looks like the bad outcome.
Everyone at this table is so rich they could pay for this 100 times over and still never have to work again. This is Hasan of the L.A. mansion and the $200,000 Porsche Taycan Turbo S. At $3 Million every year, they are not "just like us".
Hasan is doubly hateable. Hateable in politics because he constantly lies. Hateable when he truthfully calls out Austin for being a diva, because I really want to like Austin.
Hasan makes mistakes and sometimes gets his facts wrong because he his human. I have yet to see intentional deceit from that man though, unless someone is hallucinating and making shit up.
Please do bring the itemized bill to the pod, I’m very very curious

Truth, spent a week in the grippy sock prison after a year of being shat on by life and just lost it and tried to take a shortcut to Jesus and 5 years later I'm only just getting to the end of my payments.
I didnt know Austin was so based
This is insane. It is absolutely absurd. I never realized healthcare in the US is *that* expensive.
the ambulance isnt gonna be $15000. Depending on the city a couple grand at most.
My mom took a 10 minute ride in Nebraska and she got a 3k bill. Its usually between 1.5k and 3.5k.
I was hospitalized for over a week with multiple surgeries. The bill was $200k but with my PPO I paid $6000. He should probably calm down.
$6k is still f-ing insane though!
@@popartpistol Than they declade a 194K loss and get tax benefits
@@popartpistol Yeah I'd definitely rather it was $0 :)
Most people would have their net worth wiped out if they got your bill
@@danilthorstensson8902Yeah exactly that's why this system is total trash. Go bankrupt to live or be rich like Austin.
AUSTIN 💅 🏥 🥩 🍟
remember me when this blows up
Medicare sucks go with a direct primary care clinic instead.
Hmm… Where are these luxury hospitals. The ones I’ve been to have shared rooms and are pretty simple. Certainly not luxurious IMO.
poor ppl pro tip: just don't pay that shit dawg 😂 they'll go away eventually (so will your credit but you win some you lose some)
What hospital was he at Cedars Sinia?
Best part of USA health care is that you spend pretty much the same amount of taxes towards health care as countries with so called free health care :D
So you're paying taxes for a service that's gonna bankrupt you the moment you need to use it.
One of the few people that get it. ⬆
But have you considered line go up?
This is a direct result of poor financial literacy in school😂
What is Will Neff going home to do? Self suck?
No Surprise Billing Act
Wtf, why have I never gotten offered steak frites during any of my 5150’s?!?!

Exactly! That figure is so accurate for two days in an American hospital. I have a one night bill to prove it🇺🇲💁🏻♀️💸💸💸👩🏻⚕️🏨
I have a chronik illness and need meds every quarter they cost 2500 euros each time i pay 10 euros and the rest is free, (my insurance is like 200 or 300 euro per month but for everything).
Austin must be getting a ton of money if he doesnt even care how much hes wasting adding the cost of flying tvvinks to his place. ...
Japan is much MUCH different. Plus its affordable
Such a racket
My sister was in the hospital for 9 days and it cost a million dollars 😅
That will story is crazy???
I leave this comment here for someone to reply with the actual amount Austin had to pay…
I guess he's just going to have to marry Hasan now, and get couples health cover :D 🤔🎉😆
90k for flu lmao
They’ll even charge you for the Clorox wipes they use
in Philippines, they charge every piece of cotton balls used, pillows, bed cover and sheets, hospital gowns used by patient or gowns used by nurses and doctors. I’m a nurse there but I don’t work in Philippines. I witnessed my senior nurses how they itemized everything before they pass it to billing section.
Get an auction for Austin, QT can organise it
The saddest part is Austin went to hospital for a disease that doesn't exist - stomach flu is some strange characterisation of norrovirus that Amercians have, the rest of the world doesn't refer to stomach flu.
What sorta hospital was this? None of the hospitals I've been to the US were anything like this!
Are you American? Have you lived here for years? They are exactly like this. You either pay a percentage if you have insurance, or they try to get you to pay it in full.
ahahahaahahahahahahhahaahahahahahahahahahaahahahah
This would have cost 20 dollars in Sweden. Do Americans realize most institutions do not consider you a full democracy because you're not providing basic human rights like healthcare and free education?
We should have universal healthcare, but even so the rest of what you said definitely isn't true when we are trading with you guys. 😅
Listen, our healthcare is "free", but 50/50 you die in the hospital if you ever get there. Sooo which one is better? :D
Free
That's literally how I feel about American health care. If you're not rich it sucks. So 50/50 chance of survival for free, or 50/50 with a bill so high living looks like the bad outcome.
Everyone at this table is so rich they could pay for this 100 times over and still never have to work again. This is Hasan of the L.A. mansion and the $200,000 Porsche Taycan Turbo S. At $3 Million every year, they are not "just like us".
Ok, and?
Those have never been my experience in American hospitals ...
Hasan is doubly hateable. Hateable in politics because he constantly lies. Hateable when he truthfully calls out Austin for being a diva, because I really want to like Austin.
Lies about what?
@@jessjess23brooks89 nothing and people with their burners as always..
@@jessjess23brooks89 lies about gaming
This post confuses me so much 😂
Hasan makes mistakes and sometimes gets his facts wrong because he his human. I have yet to see intentional deceit from that man though, unless someone is hallucinating and making shit up.
The US deserves this system. They asked for it hahaha
How much are you all paying for that health insurance you need?
I'll leave this comment here because I'm perplexed and if there's ever a vid where he shows his bill. Please notify me. I'm so curious 🫠
Same!! I want to know lol
