That image of the government is pretty creepy. Cold, unthinking, symbol to be admired and worshipped.

[Amish_Avenger]

Why doesn't this have a million views?

[rcunder]

when will people understand government is the cause not the answer to our healthcare problems, get government and insurance companies out of our healthcare and the problems end

[PrismFalcon]

They should've mentioned that Obamacare specifically banned any new fraternities from paying for the medical expenses of their members. Preexisting fraternities which already offered that (Shriners and the like) were allowed to continue doing so. My pre-Obamacare monthly insurance cost was under $60 with a $2, 500 deductible and it was almost $500 a month for a $3, 500 deductible the last time I checked. The politicians knew that costs would dramatically surge after socialized healthcare. Because the lawmakers knew that middle class people made too little to get government assistance and couldn't afford the jump, they cut off the two logical alternatives available to the middle class. They taxed people who couldn't afford insurance and they made it illegal to form a mutual aid society. If it weren't for Obamacare specifically banning medical assistance through fraternities then we would've seen an enormous resurgence of them.

This is definitely something they never talked about in my lower and higher education courses.

It runs completely against the fallacy that the poor were completely and utterly without any insurance until the government spoon-fed it to them.

[ethercruiser]

Wow, what an important video!! Very few people (including me, a retired MD) knew about this. Sounds right to me!

[ravimattar]

Make one on governments "solving" economic crisis

[DJCosmoDropofficial]

I was expecting this to be typical lefty dribble but this was actually really fantastic. This is really good.

[h.t.]

DAMN just DAMN. I gotta make everyone watch this

[AyameAkito]

This is why Doctors and "upper society" jobs should learn that they aren't above low and middle class citizens, their job is to serve and help other not to lord over them.

[ea]

[aletoledo]

[Epictetus]

How politicians solved the everything "government" crisis: they resigned. At first, everyone was shocked and afraid because they had to make hard decisions for themselves and find their own moral compass. Then they got down to business and stopped letting the cherished slave mentality control them anymore. They went on to live somewhat happily ever after, The End.

[swedishancap]

This is extra clear in Sweden where we basically only have subsidized healthcare and long ass queues to the emergency. Made me lose faith in the welfare state.

[kang]

First ive heard of lodges, very interesting. Thanks for making this.

[varvarith]

"Oi, do you have a loicense for that life saving?"

[FREE_WILL_AAHhhhhhhhhhhhh]

This crisis can also be greatly reduced by eating healthy foods grown locally, avoiding stress by managing ease that does wonders to prevent dis ease. Stress is the number one killer, it's why I teach how to be Heavily Meditated.

Healthcare has gotten so much better.... for the medical establishment.

No matter how much you hate the government…





You’ll always find, it’s never enough.
