You never realize how blessed you are till you see things like this

[@Rem694u2]

Am I blessed or is he just really unlucky? Statistically it's the latter.

[@lauramcdowell8438]

Amen, and I am not religious. But "there but for the grace of god..." We deserve humanity, healthcare as humans.

[@cryptopian507]

My soul hurts. I have to accept that this sick man, in the richest country in the world, has to beg his law makers to save his life. My heart is broken. Healthcare is free in most countries.

[@sierramitchell3089]

I'm watching this amazing doc from Canada, hooked up to an IV at home, I get a weekly nursing visit and can request more help when I need it. Mental health groups to help cope- for my caregivers too. Our healthcare has a lot of holes but damn does this hit home. Fight for your right not to be held captive by this atrocious treatment.

[@karenavey2183]

Ontarian here! I shudder to think of my life if I had been born an American!

Love your work

[@wuffgluck452]

I am very touched by this heroic man and his family. So much courage, so much love and hope...also for others in difficult situations. These people give me hope, that mankind is growing into more caring and solidarity between us all. And I will be more thankful, that I live in a country with a good healthcare system.....I will not take it for granted anymore.

[@tonyispalilus53]

What an amazing story of a man and of his wife as well as their friends, whose dedication to the cause benefited not only Americans but the whole humanity by being such outstanding examples. Ady, you are my new hero.

This guy is amazing, more power to you my friend. I dont understand how the people with power can sleep at night taking away services from people and making life so much harder for the less fortunate. It always seems like the red team does this. Have they never met anyone in need or suffering? Selfish MF's. This man is a HERO. Never go quietly into the night.

[@bpither]

You were a hero Ady. Sad to hear of your passing ... you fought the good fight to the end! It's vile when a country feeds a war machine with dubious objectives and fails its citizens in need. Afghanistan? Vietnam? What failure of policy! They were considered honorable and necessary to "save the nation". Really? After 100s of billions of salvation where did it end? Why not try to "save citizens" instead? It's called democracy at home and unlike the mawkish and pathetic utterances of the present representatives with great health care and benefits it is NOT unaffordable. All developed countries with publicly funded health care and/or a mixed private/public hybrid spend less as a percentage of GDP than the United States.

[@dr.trixiecp5651]

Well done Vice...and thank you Ady !!...definitely a difficult but necessary watch for everyone!...Brett Kavanaugh should NEVER have been confirmed..shameful! Peace out motherfu*kers..love it ✊

[@JAV-1954.]

It disgusts me how much you all have to fight for medical help and some go into incredible debt over this. In Canada all of that is covered by our Government including having a baby at the hospital, having a physical, all our blood work, our medications are cheaper here that's why Americans come here for their medication. Decades ago our Government made a deal with Big Pharma to always keep prices down so people could afford and not go deep into debt. Once your 65 you pay 100.00 for the year then all your prescription's are $4.11, dispensing fees to the pharmacy. Prescriptions that would normally cost you hundreds of dollars, insulin, antibiotics, etc. now cost you $4.11. It has been proven that we don't pay anymore taxes than that of the USA. All though your Republican's would have you believe we are taxed to death well that is just simply a lie.
