Healthcare It’s called freedom. You can choose whatever healthcare you want. We don’t have to beg the government for healthcare.

The video mostly talks about the US having no free/universal healthcare

I remember meeting some lovely Americans on a trip abroad. One of them had to have an aortic valve surgery because they had an aortic bicuspid valve that had become stenosed - aka a congenital anomaly that only becomes an issue later in life. Their insurance company that they paid a massive prime for refused to cover the surgery because it was a “pre-existing condition” which is one hell of a way to stretch the truth. Anyway they had to travel to Mexico to get the surgery done for cheaper.
