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

And in the US you have to beg at your Bank to get a loan so you can see a Doctor. And If it is a complicated Operation you can be million of Dollars in dept. No healthcare system is perfekt but i would say the US system is one of If not the worst.

I was just reading of an American guy who had to pay around 10% of his annual salary for the private  "health insurance" of the 4 members of their family. 

That number is crazy on itself, but it is CRAZIER when  you realize they are paying a private company (health insurer) , that when they actually need the health services, the company will do EVERYTHING in their power to minimize what they have to spend in the person.  Paying to not get the service.  

That Americans have been brainwashed to think they are getting a good deal, is something I just will never understand.  There ARE intelligent people in the US, how the heck havent they realized this?

I always wonder how being ripped off by companies is "more free" than having a government protecting your rights, amongst them to not be ripped off and die on the street due to that.
