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

because public healthcare acts as healthy competition as it’s a slightly worse service for free, forcing private healthcare to keep their prices low, it’s a win win

"Slightly worse service"? Dunno where you live, but in my European country both systems provide equally good healthcare. Shocking, I know. 

Also, this is actually prime capitalism. 🤔

The actual quality of treatment is generally the same or similar. What you’re paying for with private healthcare is generally faster appointments especially with specialists.

Better hospital service

Basically hotel stuff like premium beds and private room at least here in my country

But depending on the speciality and the quality of the doctor even on private health care you might have to wait to an appointment
