Some US Doctors Are Practicing Preventive Healthcare
The rising cost of healthcare in the United States has prompted a move towards preventive medicine. It's a bid to stop illnesses from developing in the first place.

This video ought to be mandatory viewing at all Town Hall debates about
health care. The single most important factor in one's health, and the cost
of one's healthcare, is strangely absent from debates. That is: THE
PATIENT'S OWN PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. Prevention is always better than
treatment. Charlie Stuart, with his rowing machine, his broccoli, and his
realistic foresight, is a role model for America. Hurray for Charlie!!
Can We Reduce Our Federal Deficit and Create Jobs by Making the Healthy Choice the Easiest Choice?
Health Care Spending
The conservative, right-wing, evangelical, Republucan position that demeans social health care programs in places like the United Kingdom, Canada, Sweden ...

There is a huge lack of transparency with the health care system.Did you
know that hospital prices are actually kind of secret (they don't have
average prices per complete procedures),and the discounts that Health
Insurance companies get are a very well kept secret (you as a patient are
not told how much the health insurance paid, but how much you "saved".In
reality,health insurance companies get over 50% discount in average. This
is huge price discrimination that wouldn't pass antitrust tests.

I once managed diagnostic services and I know very well how this works.
Even when you are on the inside it is a mystery what you will be paid when
you send an insurance company a bill. It's even worse when it is Medicare
or Medicaid. We once had a stack of computer printouts about an inch deep
that had been submitted to Medicare and next to it a check from Medicare
for ONE CENT. That's right, one inch of billings and one penny in payment.
Any wonder non-Medicaid/Medicare patients pay so much?

i agree with that, the point i was making is there should and must be
public services like this available. in the UK we have the NHS, a fantastic
system, but with a few flaws such as waiting times for non essential
surgery. these waiting times are not generally wrong and only in cases
where the patient is in no pain. if you are not happy with that then
private healthcare is available and the only difference is the hospital you
go to is more of a hotel and you're seen straight away regardless

If by radical you mean we eat lots of corn fed beef, corn syrup beverages,
corn sweetened sweets, corn starch thickened stuff, corn oil fried stuff
... am I repeating myself? Sorry. Maybe the other extreme is the number of
hours we spend communting to work and working? On one extreme people are
trying to live on two or more part-time jobs that pay little of nothing and
have no benefits. On the other, employers want to pay you just enough to
get by with benefits but expect 50-65 hours a week.

That having been said, I have been finding myself in sympathy with certain
progress and liberal views. NOT the pseudo-progressive or pseudo-liberal
views of Democrats but the European progressive and liberal views. They
have been expiramenting with models for such things as socialized medicine
for 75 years or more, we should be able to learn from their successes and
failures. That's why I made this video. It is my way of saying, we don't
need to lie to feel good about being un/underinsured.

Personally, I think there must be private, for-profit opportunities in
educationa nd healthcare and the like IN ADDIOTION TO the social program
offered by the government. Government is for ALL people, not just the
socially evolved one that want to work together for a better collective
living experience. Opting out, inovating, competing, etc need to be option.
eg. I think that the government should issue public money, but private
money backed by gold and silver should be allowed to compete.

Your English is better than my Bulgarian ... or any other language. Did I
mention that Americans think English is the language of the world? The big
problem with retirements isn't really the concept of keeping our old farts
in a warm, safe home but trying to do that while proping up a debt-based
money system that only works in a growth economy with fossil fuel as a
subsitute for slave labor. I think that in our future old folks will live
with their kids ... or some other family or friends.

I've been looking for a video I watched last week so I can credit the maker
for inspiring me with this idea. I am a minarchist, I want my government to
do less for me. But if that isn't possible, I would like my government to
do whatever they do right. I think the only reason that any of us don't
want our government involved in things like medicine is that we don't trust
our government to do anything right. Harry Brown said, whatever it is you
think government will do for you, they won't.

You made some excellent points, Mambuduomally! I'm in Minneapolis. The only
health and dental care I can get is a local clinic. The man who helped me
with the paperwork indirectly said I pretty much have to lie to qualify for
the state program. (Can have more than $1,000 in the bank.) I've heard
people on BBC Radio whinging (a word I learned from listening to The BBC)
about their NHS. Despite a few snags, The NHS is paradise compared to the
meager offerings for low income Americans.

And one wonders if the European health care strategy doen't take into
account the adverse impacts of things like obesity? One wonders if
nutritional councelling, supplementation and exercise are considered part
of a European physician's health care practice. They certainly aren't part
of an American physician's health care practive. And then there are the
litigations ... but who designs the laws? Oh, the same people who design
medical subsidies! Thanks for the view and comment.

Net (netto) vs Gross (bruto). The trick for government is to persuade you
that you are keeping your income when you aren't. For example, the gross
domestic product of the USA was just over $36,000 per capita. A family of
two adults, two kids, a cat and a dog produces $142,000 but with two
minumum wage jobs earns under $31,000, less $3,100 fed income tax, less
$1,395 state income tax, less $1,922 employment tax, less about 8% sales
tax on all purchases. AND has debt to repay!

Healthcare is a scam. Everyone who watches fox's bullshit thinks "Oh if FOX
is against it, it must be good" well, you know what? Fox knows that's what
you'll do, so when democrats are in power, FOX starts saying the truth and
the left starts bullshitting. Any medical INDEPENDANT economist will tell
you, and proove you why healthcare is a scam . I don't care what people say
about europe or canada, they have alot more horror stories than is told. I
should know, i'm Canadian.

the pathetic thing is EVERY country in the world spends less on healthcare,
and every 1st world country has a better system. until americans (and i
don't mean to generalise here) get the idea of capitalism at all cost out
their mentality then you will never progress as a society. there are
several amenities that should never be run for profit... schools,
infrastucture (i.e roads, street upkeep etc) and HEALTHCARE! you have
obama, what you really need is an FDR/truman type

I'm sorry, but there isn't enough resources on the planet for almost 7
BILLION of its inhabitants to live the good life. It has been calculated
that if everyone on the planet consumed as much as we do in America it
would take four worlds to produce the fuel, raw materials and food. I will
be posting my peak oil update soon. Take a few minutes when I do to view
the videos that I link. Growth of any kind can never be sustainable ...
it's a math problem not a judgement call.

Thank you Mambuduomally! It's refreshing to finally read an intelligent
post about health care! I just finished reading The Swedish Secret, which
compares America and Sweden. They have total health care FOR LESS MONEY
than what America spends. It was around - Sweden spends $2,200 per person
each year, but America spends around $4,700 a year! You're right, so many
Americans are so selfish. They don't want to help anyone. But there are
good people here. We elected Barack!

so you would rather have the american system? i know i wouldn't, infact i
don't know anyone in the UK who would!! the NHS is the UK's greatest
recource. i think you'll be hard pushed to find any independant medical
expert or economist say the american system is better when its 50% more
expensive in the U.S than the UK or canada, with complete coverage for
everybody (in UK anyway) america has the worst ranking healthcare of any
1st world country, but yeah its so great

One wonders if Zarathustra already knew that in Europe they don't just pay
to treat sick people, they pay to help people be healthy? It is so sad that
people in the USA don't get it at all. Other modern, social societies
should be examined very closely. Unfortunately, most American think we are
the end all and ubermensch of humankind. I see you are from Belgium, maybe
you could tell us a bit more about health care in Europe? Pros? Cons?

Welcome back, Z! I have no problem with free markets, but I do have a huge
problem with them being unregulated which will invariably benefit the
biggest and most powerful. After watching your video, I have to ask you -
based on everything you say here, *why* would you not advocate for
universal health care? Encourage small business, regulate and tax *fairly*,
and provide a social safety net. Makes sense.

from the UK but have been watching alot of the debate on healthcare. the
amount of lies being spouted by fox news is ridiculous and its no wonder
reform is so hard to achieve. the NHS has problems but it is a fantastic
system. if you need treatment you get it right away and despite what fox
say we don't refuse treatment to anyone, regardless of age!

Its also interesting to see, how some americans react on new healthcare
idea. I mean if someone is afraid of turning to sosialist country, why not
take middleground? Here in Finland we have both public and corporal
healthcare. Basicly its garrantee of healthcare for all, but if your
willing to pay extra you get threatment faster in private sector.

i really look on in disgust/disbelief watch this whole thing. you's are the
richest country in the world, you so many don't want you to take care of
your citizens. i hope you get a public option, i hope in the near future
you go one better and join the rest of the civilized world and have
universal healthcare.

I live in a relatively small state as far as population goes. We have two
choices to choose from for health insurance, that' right, only two.
Employers therefore, keep changing between the two every time their
contract expires and the prices only go up... The whole system needs to be
ratified.

American mega-corps yern for the good old days when people worked 70 hours
every week, lived in tar-paper shacks ate bean and potatoes seven days a
week, and died at age 42, long before they could hope to get a retirement
check. I think they called it the industrial revolution?

@bonfirejovi Sure, a free market for health care is one in which those who
can afford it are free to obtain it and those who cannot are free to live
in discomfort or die. Somewhere in between are those people who are free to
be financial slaves in exchange for healthcare.

There are no polotical parties in the United States that seriously serve
people. The Demopublicans and Republicrats both play to the megacorp while
giving lipservice only to human beings. The social progress of Europe in
the last 75 years has left American is the past.

From the BBC article -- Unhealthy living 'almost universal' in Scotland
"The Scottish results are similar to those in a recent survey of English
behaviour, and suggest both nations are more unhealthy than many European
countries, and even North America." OUCH!

I did a calculation on what someone earning minimum wage in the US and
Denmark respectively, earns in a month with 40 hours of work each week. The
Dane would earn just about 2.5 times as much, after taxes. that might be
something to take into account too.
