Universal Health Coverage explained

Universal Health Coverage is about providing healthcare to people without pushing people into poverty. It's an exciting public health and global health tool. Countries that implement universal health coverage provide better healthcare at lower costs (the health economics evidence is clear).

The USA does not have a health care system. It has a health insurance industry. To say that the health insurance industry is a health care system is akin to saying that your auto insurance is your car care system. The USA needs single payer/universal health care.

Its a noble idea .
Implementation of UHC in Africa is my concern. Corrupton is a big problem in the continent. The money will disappear.

it looks to me that the Feds have given themselves universal health care..and a special and separate retirement fund.. that we have to pay for

I have a dear friend whose father is eighty years old. Her mother had been taking care of him by herself for years and can't do it anymore. They have gone to Medicaid, Medicare, and various social services and have been told he doesn't qualify. He is on Social Security and his income is too high, She is dead set AGAINST Universal Healthcare and then complains because her parents can't get the help they need.

Thanks Dr.Greg I been reading a lot about UHC. Thanks a lot for explaining things in a very simple and informative manner.

[mayphyusinoo]

Every piece of this video is so informative!

2023 here and globally, universal health care is turning out to be a huge failure. bravo

[annateresa]

Had to rewatch 2:24-3:00 cause I was more focused on the one guys hand not matching his other. 🤦🏽‍♀️

In the UK. The government raised the tuition fee cap to £9000 from £3500, believing the universities will be competitive and not all charge the maximum. They all ended up charging £9000 a year. 😑

We are all together in this world, breathing, as it were, as one, for each and every life affects those immediately and in the far reaches of the world. Universal Health Coverage (UHC) should be available to everyone.

Universal healthcare would decrease the wages of providers by 13-51%, as evidenced by statistics in other other major countries. This would decrease the supply of providers and increase wait times, etc. How do we provide healthcare for everyone without hurting our providers? Not to say there isn't a solution, but it's going to have to keep the providers in mind. Maybe tax breaks for them?

Marvelous work! The video is brilliant and provides all the necessary information. I like this site. Thanks for sharing this useful post. Thanks for the effective information.

How the hell does an enstranged college student afford health insurance? I work part-time study computer engineering. Don't qualify for Medicaid what do I do? Seriously other that leaving America.

[Candy]

just got in a heated argument with my mom about universal healthcare and she just kept saying "I don't want to be paying for someone else who should just get a job and pay for it themselves!" it's so ridiculous how so many Americans especially Boomers who are so selfish and not open minded

[Drkahtan]

Thanks Dr. Greg for this video and picking up this type of topic.
I would like to ask about the rang of the services covered through the UHC ?

[coderamen]

Private healthcare would be unnecessary in a functioning public healthcare system where the workers are well paid and there is a functioning triage system.

[johnnorland]

At 2:04 you mention another video covering the theory about why market-driven healthcare fails. Could you help me find it?

[dr.gyanaranjanpadhy]

Dear Greg Martin, UHC--excellent Idea--this will reduce IMR and MMR--IN DEVELOPING Padhy
