My dad spent a week in a hospital for a heart attack and this is what we owe

Healthcare should be free in America like it is everywhere else

[ThomasStivers-hwzc]

Another example of why id rather die than put myself in debt to the point where im homeless. At this rate i think the American dream is only for the rich and powerful.

At 32 years old, i had a heart attack. A trip to the ER, a 20 minute heli ride to a better hospital and surgery. I had a stent put in, was in HP total of 4 days....now at 36, I am still over 200, 000$ in debt because of it... insanely ridiculous, especially when i have BCBS

My dad had his heart attack in Scotland.

Just like almost every other country his healthcare was free.

It's honestly sad to think about how people have lost their loved ones because they didn't have the money to treat them. They were never wrong when they said money ruled the world.

[Tezzisbread]

get an itemized bill. the cost will DRASTICALLY drop down!

[Juggalotus]

Man someone do something about these greedy health care companies

[LVRECORDSINC]

They forgot the real reason why it all started, it was to help people and save lives out of passion, now its all about money

[Northumbergull]

Thank heavens I'm in the UK and, although we all contribute to the costs of the NHS through our taxes, it is almost universally free at the point of delivery. There would never be any bills for something as common as a heart attack.

Makes me grateful to be be living in Australia, where the healthcare is not only free, but of high quality.

[lokisrevival]

Not american (romanian living in Spain) but Deny Defend Depose, we're with you (although we can't help), you deserve a free or at least affortable healthcare like every damn person in this world

[african]

In South africa its free.... current state of our hospitals is poor, but with good managerial skills inside our Government it will most definitely go back to its former self

Thanks for sharing this video.
I am Canadian. Here's my hospital story. My mom and dad visited my aunt Alice in Los Angeles, back in '93. He felt sick after eating food in a casino. Even though he bought the travel medical insurance, the hospital billed him $100K plus. He spent six weeks in the hospital and had two surgeries. He had to pay up before he left the hospital. As the insurance claimed he didn't pay for the proper coverage.
He made a quick sale of the house me and my five siblings grew up in.
I was in university at the time and didn't find out that my parents were not living in our rural home by the lake, but in a crappy two bedroom apartment in a town 30 minutes away, until mid-term break.
My dad lived eight more years and died of cancer.
I was happy he got to hold my baby daughter just before he died.
I feel that not having his home ended his life early. The greed of the medical system has been painful for generations.
God bless you all.

I spent like a week in hospital after emergency CS with my newborn and I didnt pay for it. Anything. America wake up, this is crazy.

[panzerelite]

Did you know if he had 15 more cents it would have added to $131, 047.75

THERE SHOULD BE A LAW THAT THE AMERICAN TAXPAYERS SHOULD RECEIVE THE SAME HEALTH CARE THEY GIVE THE POLITICANS

[leeshackelford]

I had a heart attack in May, and g/f made me walk 3km to the hospital an hour later....

No money for care or medicine. Still alive, and she almost wasn't after i recovered

[Zemplex]

In the UK and EU the bill would be zero . Health care is taken out of income as a tax before we receive the money at a very low rate . Hospital, local GP and ambulances are free at face to face contact. America has a terrible health system.

My ex boyfriend’s dad was an extremely successful surgeon. He took his own life after his cancer diagnosis because he didn’t want to sink his family into lifelong debt.
