[@eskay6170]

This was such a great overview of the standing issues in modern American healthcare! Thanks so much for taking the time to put it together!

[@simonbenyi1089]

Im doing a presentation on the problems in us healthcare as a european student and this has helped me a lot to understand the system. Thanks

[@yelyzavetavoloshyna6658]

Great job! I hope you get many more followers. Keep making great content!

[@angelaluo641]

Wow this was so informative and clearly conveyed. Thank you so much Sabrina for this video!

[@brinawang]

hi angela! thanks for such a sweet comment, so glad you liked the video. in terms of health care disparities, I'm not sure if there's been significant progress, unfortunately -- it's a really persistent problem that affects a lot of different parts of the health care ecosystem (including health insurance reform, hospital and health-plan operations, and individual provider bias.) I've been thinking of doing a video on what folks are doing to reduce health care disparities, so let me know if that would be something you'd be interested in watching! :) as for your second question, certain policymakers have proposed universal health care plans -- the Bernie Sanders Medicare-for-All plan, for instance, would establish a single-payer health care system. but those proposals don't get a lot of traction in part because our political environment is so incredibly divided. I made a video on Medicare-for-All a few months ago, so feel free to check that out if you want to learn more!

[@angelaluo641]

@@brinawang Thank you for your thorough reply, Sabrina! I will definitely watch your Medicare for All video! You sharing your knowledge about these issues is truly a blessing for us all. I am super interested in watching a video about what the current plans are to combating health care disparities! If you make it, I will watch it 100%!

[@shaileyshah2439]

Thank you so much, this was amazing! Please post more videos about this and the ACA if you can. I really learned a lot from this!

I was recently cured of Hsv1and2, Thanks to Dr Agbonifo for the good work. After living with this virus for 4years, I saw a comment of Dr Agbonifo on a headline, I was skeptical but I had to talk to him about my situation because I've done everything possible for me to get cured, and the doctors doesn't make us believe there is a cure, When I told him of my situation, he told me not to worry that I will be cured. I did exactly what he said, I took the medicine for some weeks just the way he ordered and my Hsv1and2 is gone. Now I'm free with no side effects or whatsoever. I really appreciate the good work of this doctor for the good thing he has done for me. I will drop his email address for those with similar problem Email: [e-mail].

[@ZacharyOrlov]

great job. Where did you do your policy year

[@brinawang]

i worked at a non-profit consulting firm called NORC, mostly for federal government clients (i.e. the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services)!

[@shaileydesai5778]

Excellent overview of the healthcare system! loved this!

[@dewhang2064]

Very informative. I hope you got into a great medical school!

[@GymWithGospel]

First of all the video is very informative and great job. Learning a lot from it. What do you see as a health care issue and policy options that must be reformed to address the issue?

The underlying principle behind the US Healthcare system is as you state "For Profit First"

how is local health system in the US?

[@thomast3570]

How local do you mean? The concept of city and county hospitals [community responsibility] disappeared with the coming of Medicaid and Medicare. There are clinics around, paid mostly by federal money but very few..

[@danjagamble7120]

I am a nurse finishing my bachelor's degree. I struggle to understand topics that you covered in your video and I want to say thank you so much for this very well done video. I found it tremendously helpful.

"Buy into the program by paying a SMALL fee each month to their health insurance company"??? A SMALL premium fee? Here we go again. Typical US corporate health care BS propaganda. The US extremely fragmented, bureaucratic, wasteful, very costly healthcare non-system. Anything to keep the health insurance industry in the loop. Physicians for a National Health Program
