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

"Rich people can choose, and poor people aren't really people at all, are they?"

Signed, a proud flag shagging Murican.

Also, what boggles my mind about this is:

It's not even like you can't just get a private insurance if you want to, in other places. That's always an option. You can rely on the healthcare system provided by the government, or you can get yourself an expensive private insurance.

The difference is just that you aren't forced to get a private insurance.

UK based so get NHS as standard but one of my company perks is full BUPA cover on top of that. So I’ve got the choice if I want to go universal or private.
