Love that dig at anti-vaxxers.

John is right about the NHS. I used to work for it and was very impressed by the care I got and the care the hospital I worked for gave out. Both were excellent.

Another example of why Americans think that they are "number one." America: a shit hole country.

usa is a broke shit hole

If that coal billionaire is so worried about jobs why not just start some type of clean energy production facility in the same town where he's laying off coal workers? Cause he doesn't care about jobs, he cares about his own immediate profits. Fuck the planet, Go Coal.

The problem is the government over reaching for power sure the current health care system has been trash but it's our problem not the government's

Another huge problem in the states a out rehab is that it often strongly relies on religion, specifically Christianity. One of their steps is to accept Jesus as your lord and saviour as when their faith is strong enough God will take away their addiction. This is as much harmful as that if they fall back they blame themselves to not have enough faith, instead of addressing their psychological problem.

John Oliver produces the funniest propaganda. Love this guy.

Bernie's plan would call for a %52 tax increase to implement this idiotic idea! Keep in mind Hitler and all his buddies were socialists...

Me in 2020 after he some how wasn’t impeached: nervous sweating

Firstly he does not actually disprove any points, he simply says “it’s more complicated than that”. Guess that just outlines how he can’t get his fucking head around the actual truth about universal healthcare. Yes the buzz about it in media is overblown, and perhaps funds can be redirected from other subsidies to actually pay for universal healthcare without a tax raise but no one hears that solution 🤔.

Plus if everyone starts thinking every photo of someone on Everest is a fake, it won't be worth it for those who are just doing it for the bragging rights to go there and mess up the mountain just to end up being accused of being a fraud.

I'm sure Last Week Tonight and John Oliver could afford a 10k donation to that kid's gofundme. You know, the kid he exploits to make his political point. But even when he circles back to her at the end, no mention of helping her meet her goal. 🤔

Why would anyone dislike this video? You gotta be a scammer to not hate robocalls

Sanders will defeat Trump, if the corrupt DNC miraculously begins COUNTING VOTES.

Free Medicare wouldn’t work in the US because too many people are fat landwhales who caused their idiotic medical conditions by EATING GARBAGE!!!

32:00 the look on John's face when he gets that news is absolutely priceless😂😂😂 it's like a combination of stoic Brit face and thinking "oh my God I can't tell if he's joking or not"

Archer in a lab coat

9 days in trauma , life flight , surgeons to save my life , was over 250k . 1 1/2 yrs of rehab to recover from being shot in the back and paralyzed was nearly a million dollars . Who could pay for that , especially being an innocent victim of a shooting??Our medical system is far out of control as is our justice system . Btw , medicaid paid for all of that and still to this day pays for most . The VA pay's for some as well .

I feel like it would be productive for the John Oliver's and Ben Shapiro's of the world to actually debate each other once in a while rather than have their audiences jerk them off unquestioningly.

So that family can't raise more than 10$ for a child's medical care but some guy can raise over a million for beer by holding up a sign at a football game

These owners use their fans fears against them. Shameful, the rich get richer off of the little guy. Yet nothing is ever done about it because Right-Wing politicians use fear-mongering to divide us.

48% - States rights (to choose slavery)

Socialism entails the state controlling the means of production as they do in Venezuela. The Nordic countries are not socialist, they are run by social democrats

I understand the need to communicate the idea, but, really ... using the word "race"? How is this still a thing?

Cancer did something Vince McMahon couldn't. It got Roman over

Damn Scotts! They ruined Scottland!

KK4K !!! hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha !!! so so true !!! fascism, race supremacy ideologies at their "best", nice one aaaaah... I can't stop laughing ';D p.s. if you ever wonder why racism was mentioned... then have a look at the videos of what REALLY happens in China ;)

Medicare is the reason medical care costs are so high. Most of the time medicare only covers 33% of the bill. This is why costs are triple what they actually need to be.

Who would think Medicare for all is a good thing, except homeless people? People on medicare already know how much it sucks. These are my thoughts as an uninsured working American.

Meanwhile in Iraq, 500,000 children died between 1991 and 2003 from lack of basic medications and untreated drinking water because of a US led embargo on pretty much anything needed to make the country take care of itself and its citizens, HALF A MILLION! Hey yankees, I hope you're proud of living in the greatest nation of earth, a nation founded on life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness and the insane waste of enough food to feed all those in need throughout the world. DAMN.

If the internet is right, and you know how "accurate" the internet is, you owe somebody around $32 John

Everyone who sees this comment, watch "The Slave Circle." It shows you the ins and outs of the mlms. Also, look up "Direct Marketing Devil Corp".

Spot on John Oliver thanks!

Add one more issue: Bottom-feeding. That's the real problem. Over the course of decades, a single payer system is left with the worst doctors diagnosing patients with the cheapest antiquated equipment. Universal? Sure. So long as it's a two payer system.

My new tax plan: all companies that pay zero percent in taxes can't use any public services.

Ludicrous. 10/10

Update from the future: Only one republican Senator (Mitt Romney) voted with Democrats to impeach Trump. Trump has survived Impeachment and is now cleaning house firing anyone in the government that testified against him.

Is that Lucas from stranger things? 16:35

On the Ark museum, I remember a line from Bill Cosby's Noah, saying to God, "And you never even looked in the bottom of that ark! No! Who's gonna clean up that mess down there? Not me, I'm telling ya."

I hate how we are always shown two extremes and told they are our only option. I don’t think this will be any better, just different and bad in different ways. At one point we had affordable healthcare with direct pay doctors and lodge care, something the insurance companies lobbied to ban. Switching to this won’t change the fundamental problem and something the American people refuse to see over and over. The United States government is a cheap whore that’s for sale and regularly sells us out for bribes and kickbacks. Whoever wants to buy influence and control will, no matter the system used. It will cost out the ass, just like it does now because the American public is a cash cow and Uncle Sam sells turns milking it. Whatever the new system is, the few will control it and guide its policy and make a lot of money off it. It will never serve us because our government doesn’t serve us. The insurance industry is just the biggest player and pays the most so they get served instead of us. Let me hammer that home even though no one will listen through a mountain of bots, shills and programmed die hard liberals. No system, capitalist or socialist will work because our government is for sale and only serves the buyer.

This guy would never accept a medicare plan over his high-society insurance plan. I remember when Obama said we would have the same insurance as the members of congress (another lie). Congress does not want to share their insurance with the poor. 60+ million people on medicare do not wish to share their insurance with anyone else! You can't even see a doctor anymore in most clinics as the nurse practitioner is now the new normal. Let's just insure the entire world. That is what liberals want, right? Healthcare for undocumented people. I see people complaining about not being able to afford medical insurance holding their $1000.00 iPhone and 200+ dollars a month cell phone plan. What there are saying is that they don't want to pay for medical insurance because they have better use for that money. Let the government-run healthcare? Is anyone aware that MEDICARE will be broke by 2030? Does anyone know there is 80 billion a year in Medicare fraud? Who pays for this? In the year 2000, I was paying 170 dollars a month for a Cadillac medical insurance plan that today is now over 700 dollars, what happened? I see working age 19-year-olds at the dollar store with their EBT cards and Medi-Cal for insurance buying snacks to go home and play video games? Is Mr. Liberal Oliver going to pay for me to have insurance? DiCaprio and the other wealthy Hollywood elites fly around in their private jets while lecturing me on climate change and people buy into this nonsense. NOTHING IN LIFE IS FREE! GET A JOB, WORK, PAY FOR YOUR EDUCATION AND INSURANCE and live without the 1000 dollar cell phone. Grow the fuck up people!

Once I told a Swedish guy "Brazil has taxes almost as much as Sweden" and he replied: "We pay very little tax" ... then I found out he made a distinction between taxes and social security. Can anyone from Sweden tell me if this is correct? The problem in the US is that citizens are hostages of their jobs and they'll do anything to keep them - even if this means going against their own principles ... and as time passes, the principles disappear. My congratulations to Mitt Romney - a man wealthy enough to keep his principles and who actually has kept them.

This warms my soul

I'm not mad at the Donkey. I'm actually happy for it.

GREAT NEWS: Yale recently published a study confirming that Medicare for All is awesome. It would be LESS expensive than our current system, yet cover more people, with better coverage, and save 65,000 lives per year. Below is the link to the file, published on The Lancet. You have to make an account to view it, but the account and the file are totally free. You can also just read the excerpt without doing anything. Please share the file with everyone who will read it; the media will either ignore or slander it, so it's up to us to disseminate it. www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(19)33019-3/fulltext

I have a tremendous amount of respect for Monica Lewinsky. She is a strong, courageous, beautiful, witty young woman. She was sacrificed and burned at the stake publicly by the very politicians that SHOULD have been supportive of her: the political left and women's groups. How shameful that this remarkable young woman was lampooned in order to distract attention away from Bill Clinton's sexual predation upon a young, impressionable woman. Was Monica blameless? No. She was an adult, however young, who had an affair with a married man. But let's be frikking real here! She had the President of the United States coming on to her. The leader of the free world. Yes, she made a mistake, but a completely human, totally understandable one. Monica, I admire you, if you ever by chance happen to read this.

head nod "Thanks"

Something like the Swiss system would probably be the most doable in America

If only they could make my genes to be skinny.

What's eugenix?

1% what? Lol

If there was a country that had a better system in my opinion, I would move there! I don’t see the point in staying in a country that’s clearly inferior than another one. Plenty of other people would rather take your place, and you’d obviously rather be somewhere else. What’s stopping all these people from leaving???

Organized Criminal Sedition

ok though for real is the little girl ok?

This comment section is extra nasty on this one.

I broke my leg and it cost $50 in Canada. I was treated within 48 hours. I want to shove my repaired right leg up the asses of people who oppose single payer healthcare My Zumba instructor, Tia Gabby, broke her foot and went to urgent care because the insurance she had would charge her a lot if she wasn't admitted.

No one knows who's kid is who's. Maybe if you come here then don't bring your kids here. Fuckin we have a sovereignty we have to secure and no amount of bleeding heart thinking with your emotions will change that lol. This shit won't change lol.

well excuse us god for bid you have a different view than john oliver on an issue with two good options

Objectivisim is just an exposure of human behavior.

SLAPP suits?! OMG! Does #Davie504 know about this?

John Oliver the Furry. Never thought I'd type this.

Glad I live in Canada.

that guy screaming "MEDICARE" is iconic

Was on the I35W bridge coming out of minneapolis the night before it collapsed 8/1/07 killing 13 and injuring 145

This is exactly what I need. I British guy who fled a rotting socialist country selling me the craptiastic "care" and tax rate he fled. No thanks. My government can't count votes, figure how to run an app, or run a veterans hospital. I don't need that kind of "help". What we have is not perfect. Far far from it. Can anyone tell me a government run program that has EVER cost what the "experts" say it will. Do I really want a doctor who is directed by Washington DC. No thanks there has to be a better answer.

Nope not British colonial law, christianity reached Africa before Europe. Africans were Christian BEFORE Europeans, so they have always been against homosexuality since ancient time.

at 18:00, the psychic made her prediction based off of false information, that distorts the psychic realm.

Why would you get your down payment refunded? You used the car and it lost value.

Why are they all black?

Glad I know a lot about cars

LOL - too damn funny...

wait, 1.5 to 2 hours each way by bus? pfft here in Canada it'd be less than half that by bus

im getting Captain America vibes from this one

People need to stop acting like they know shit

A quiz: Before the 6th minute of the video was history, how many times did John Oliver say "f*ck"? On another note, shouldn't people start determining and doing something about why healthcare in the US is so expensive to begin with? Does B. Sanders have a reasonable plan to address this cornerstone issue besides declaring "medicare for all" for his presidential election campain? That's a big and far from rhetorical question.

I think I'd rather go to hell!

Should've sent anthrax back to him.

Its sad that John Oliver runs a more informative piece on M4A then any national news network ever. Thank you though for doing this love your show!

call me a sicko socialist all you want but i think healthcare is a human right 🤙

Flint is one city that should be commended for this, even though a large part of the reason was a lack of education funding, they merged school districts that were probably 15-20% African American like Carmen-Answorth with ones like Flint Northern which was probably 80-90% African American.

The people that had no idea who he is are the same morons who obsess over selfies and the Clowndashians. Which, unfortunately, are the majority. He is a hero, and is risking his life to do all of this. And for what, to be a footnote? I don't think so. What he did was not done in vain, those with intelligence know, and that's really all that counts. With that said, John Oliver figured out a way to communicate the importance of what he did in the most ridiculous way. Very effective.

They mean waiting 18 months for an MRI.

What a great interview

Thanks John for expressing the all out terror we working class and working poor Americans deal with. I am in my 50s and have always been healthy until lately. I would say I am lucky to have really good health insurance via my employer, and I do by today’s standards, but I still have a large out of pocket share of the medical bills that is breaking me. I would rather have long waits than no care at all like Americans less lucky than me.

It took me two hours to watch this 23 minute video because I have AT&T

Here's some truth, Trump has avoided starting any new wars. He has hawked redoing bad trade agreements of the past 3 decades. Jobs are up, unemployment is down.

I don't want to work at a warehouse anymore you get a job there.

Bernie's a jackass.

For people who know the difference from "believe" and "understanding": Nature is beautiful, what are you doing in a city ?

That's because these people are fuckin idiots. How could they say Jesus wants them to have these riches. When Jesus clearly preached against the rich.🤦🏻‍♂️ God these people are fuckin stupid.

Sorry anyone who has a problem with a form of Medicare for all has never had to experience a friend or family member deal with a major illness or or preexisting condition. My friend who makes middle income money is finding it extremely difficult to leave her job she hates due to her preexisting condition with MS where she needs monthly treatments. The lag between insurances and uncertainty is crazy with one year to before she can qualify for short term leave with a new job is the reality people love with.

I love cars and get cheap parts and fix my own car.
