- 0:00 Hey guys.
- 0:02 Today I want to also talk about healthcare.
- 0:05 Um I wanted to ask a question and see what you guys think.
- 0:09 But do you guys think that healthcare should be free for everyone in the United States?
- 0:13 Um healthcare is probably one of the biggest dates in the debates in the US.
- 0:17 Some people believe that it should be a basic human right that everyone deserves access to doctors, hospitals, and medicine, no matter how much money they make.
- 0:25 Others think that a government-run system would be too expensive and then would lower the quality of care.
- 0:31 They believe that private insurance and competition to keep the system better and more efficient.
- 0:35 They sorry, they a lot of people believe that private insurance and competition keep the system better um and more efficient.
- 0:42 I think there's truth in both sides, honestly.
- 0:44 I don't think that anyone should go broke paying medical bills because they got sick.
- 0:48 Um but I think that we also need it, we need a system that rewards good doctors and innovations as well.
- 0:54 Um I don't know if the answer is all public or all private.
- 0:59 I think it primarily should probably be a mix that makes sure everyone gets the healthcare that they need without overloading the system.
- 1:06 You know, I know a lot of people these days they're drowning in medical debt, and it's kind of heartbreaking to see that because a lot of times it's life-changing treatment or life-saving treatment, if that honestly.
- 1:19 And it's uh it's a pretty pretty interesting topic, and I would like to know what you guys' thoughts are on that.
