2:55 Why do Americans always make this excuse? According to this own video Spain has one of the best healthcare systems even though it has 8 times the population of Singapore. America then has 7 times the population of Spain and we're meant to believe that it suddenly isn't doable? Nonsense.

Hong Kong and Singapore even provide low cost medical service to tourists or foreigners. If u got sick like say fever or broken elbow (touch wood), u can go to those walk in clinic or local hospital and they charge u very little. My friend from Belgium got into a car accident and required to stay in local hospital, he paid like $100 USD only. Not only do the cost is kept very affordable, the care and standard were very high too. Both countries were highly educated, just look at their universities' ranking on the global scale. I have to give them credit and recognition for providing health care to people. Their government really emphasize ethic rather than just all about money. Also, to be fair, these countries have like 5-7 millions people only, its a lot easier to manage. And their city (country for singapore) are only as big as a LA, so its a lot easier to manage

Having great health system is one thing, but even more important than that is to educate citizens how to take care of their health. Because hospitals are the last resort, once you need medical help you have already failed to take care of yourself. Doctors are "mending" health and not preventing health problems in the future. So I think that one great thing we should do is learn about how to take care of ourselves and have people in the healthcare system that can advise us on how to do that without tons of pills and expensive treatment.

[@calamitouscpu5843]

Yes, taking care of one's health is important, and doing things that put your health at risk (e.g. smoking) is just asking for trouble. But it's also worth keeping in mind that many ailments can occur regardless of how well you look after yourself, for example genetic disorders, cancer, and of course unforeseeable accidents. It's not always someone's fault they are sick, and no one should have to pay excessive amounts of money for something they have no control over.

Corona showed us the Truth.. 🧐

[@nicoraba]

In Italy the situation is like in Hong Kong, with cheap tickets to access public health care system but with longer waiting time. If you want top notch cure and fast cure you go in private hospitals paying higher prices. But even private clinics have a mixed fiscal regime in which you pay a middle way ticket, more expensive than NHCS but cheaper than going fully private. Last but not least, in most of the collective job contracts (trade, turism, services...) are integrate health insurances that allows you to benefit from private clinics spending a third of what usually it costs.

[@thelionking2128]

I m frm hk , most of the people here do not even have medical insurance, we just go to the govt. hospital pay hk$ 100 and thats all. Even if we have to get admitted and need tests to be done, its cheap. Worrying abt hospital bills isnt an issue here.

I prefer Uk NHS, period. Yes, i'm british, so yes i'm going to be biased towards my healthcare provided by my country the Uk

[@nikfaizal97]

Moses Jonson is it true that the UK's NHS suffer from cuts and austerity? Are both Tory and Labour administrations responsible for the cuts to NHS?

[@zizougifu]

Moses Jonson NHS is better than most but you haven't tried the others so you can't really know the differences

[@Outlaw7502]

Yes it's true, the NHS is underfunded. That being said, it's still a very good system. Labour right now under Corbyn wants to provide the NHS with enough money. The conservatives sill aren't providing enough.

[@aranbutcher4655]

nik faizal the vast amount of refugees we received from the EU would are jobless and struggle to pay tax is putting a massive strain on our healthcare

[@rationalmartian]

Yes the NHS is under real strain at the moment, though it has been coming a long time. A lot of waste and wasted money through things being mishandled by incompetents. The old IT/computer nightmare/s and PFI debacle being just two big ones. Too many managers and being mismanaged by idiots is a big problem. The NHS is something of a mixed bag, depending on one's problem and location. Some of the speciality and specialist centres seem to be great. Gen Hospitals can be hit and miss, and General Practitioners appear pretty poor in the main. But it remains free at the point of contact/service. Could indeed be better, but it could by the same token be much MUCH worse.

[@Raptorftw]

The graphic at 0:12 is very misleading. It implies that the next highest per capita spenders are Japan, UK, Greece and Panama and that's obviously not the case.

[@Grid88]

The main question is "why is it so expensive healthcare in the US?"

[@keitoimon]

Grid 88 because the prices aren't set . instead each hospital sets it's own prices and negotiates with lots and lots of individual ensurances. other places set the prices and there is more negotiating power when you're promising not only the 300 people living near the hospital that have your ensurancw but instead everyone that lives around the hospital. it's a bit like when you buy tons and tons of a product and then instead of buying it at the store price buy it from the factory itself, negotiate with it and and get cheaper prizes for buying more

Spain have 47 millions, and California have 39 millions I think you could think this , not in federal level , but state level But if you don't like the comparison , you can think in UE. If you add the population of Spain, Portugal, France ,Italy , Germany, ,Denmark, ,Belgium ,UK (well, now not in UK, but the system is the same) the population is roughly the same as USA There are difference among this states in UE , but every one of them are by far better the USA healthcare system

[@amarfikri1171]

[@shimad9459]

From now on Malaysia is the best healthcare in the world... 😉

[@Koplohotg]

Confirmed ..

[@j0seant]

3:00 It is erroneous to think that it is not applicable to the United States because it has more population, when having more population paying taxes makes it even easier. You only have to see countries with much more population than Spain within the European Union and its public health system works just as well as in Spain.

[@paulm2467]

In theory, because of the economies of scale, it should work better.

"we also have a very strong health Care System in this country"

[@Cr4y7-AegisInquisitor]

is efficiency defined as the direct cost for the patient in relation to the treatment worth? sounded like it, but that seems really superficial. should be overall cost incl. gov spending per treatment worth, also should include waiting times.

[@ymhktravel]

How each country handles the conoravirus epidemic and the stats we have now will tell you which are the top few countries that have the efficient policies and quality medical infrastructures to treat these at-risk patients. IMO, S Korea, HK and Singapore. None from Europe. Just look at Spain's and Italy's death rates vs infection cases and they are supposedly Europe's best medical systems.

[@andyPallares]

sorry, I live in Spain and that people die is not the fault of the medical system, it is because we had no information about the virus. Thanks, that Spain and Italy have some of the best medical systems, we have been able to face this, and at the moment with 85% of vaccinated we are doing very well. Excuse me pretty, we are European countries and in Spain we have a free medical system for anything. we have many professionals and the most advanced technology in medicine as in other European countries. we are a very modern and developed country, find out pretty. you know nothing.

[@paulm2467]

It’s too variable, Sweden had no lockdowns and limited restrictions and did better than most other countries, the initially infected countries such as Spain, Italy and the UK didn’t even know before the pandemic had entered their systems and there was no known response at the time.

[@Commievn]

socialist thinkers? Name me one "socialist thinkers" you're talking about. Cuz if you look at Singaporean political party, People's Action Party, it's the most dominated as well as the only ruling party in Singapore ever since they gained their independence. And their political ideology is centre-right, aka conservatism and ECONOMIC liberalism, which is FREE MARKET and PRIVATE OWNERSHIP, something that socialist hate.

capitalist? it is more of a mix of socialist system with option for private

[@jonathanlim7033]

mmann66666 When Singapore modernized, we experimented with a heavily private-based system, expecting market forces to push costs down overall. We realized this was not actually the case, with hospitals focusing more on more expensive, better quality care to serve richer people than providing better healthcare for all. We re-pivoted to more government intervention, where the benchmark for services is set by government options, forcing private healthcare providers to compete with this new standard. Yes, we have considerable government intervention, but in our view it is the minimum to make the system work for all.
