- What started as a chat on healthcare justice between Einstein anatomy lab partners grew into a town hall event at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, featuring U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who gave a short talk before answering students’ questions about healthcare policy in the United States. Reise Sample, Sarah Kellner, and Joseph Tharakan represented three groups onstage: Students for a National Health Plan, Medical Students for Choice and Reproductive Justice, and the Family & Social Medicine Interest Group.
The town hall was also open to audience questions, and they came from physicians, researchers, and medical students on such topics as physician compensation under universal healthcare, criminal justice, addiction issues, the lack of healthy food options in the Bronx, and access to healthcare for undocumented residents.

Lots of love from God our creator to make OAC and Medical Students give Health care to all in America and all the World.👍😇😇🙏🏻🙏🏻💖👂👀
Be the happiness you seek... "NOW". You've got my vote 🕉☯️🕉 :-)
Why aren't there more long form liberal discussions like this?
@Joe Maleski
No.
@Joe Maleski "Holes" as in a negative? Everyone has an opinion, but hopefully these opinions are based on credible, respected peer reviewed research papers. There is a difference.
In Canada, it is illegal to have private insurance companies that compete with the government provided, 24/7, on demand model of healthcare. We walk into a specialist/ Dr's office, lab, ER, family practitioner's office with a plastic card that is registered with the province and our every healthcare need is cared for by world class nurses, doctors and surgical staff if necessary. No bills, no premiums, no different sources of funding, no insurance companies. Everyone is covered. I had hip replacement surgery recently and I walked out of the hospital with a hug and a bath reacher (so I didn't have to bend) from my physiotherapist. I would disagree with AOC on the issue of private insurance coverage. It remains overly complicated and open to unfair increases in premiums.
the way she says “people with pregnancies” instead of just “women” is such a simple thing yet it makes me feel so happy
If that's the case then I have a abortion every day. Sometimes twice a day.
AOC is amazing!
@M No, her ideas are brilliant!

I am not afraid, for there is nothing concealed, that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be made known.

passive circulation is able to carry how much?
wow that brings a lot of hope, courage and admiration
You’ve gotta be joking !!!!!
@@johncrete7932 yes it brings a lot of hope. You can have a visit in three months for an operation you may need, like a knee operation. Just like in canada. You know where they treat you in a clinic and you have a choice paying for better service with private insurance. Sounds good right. 🙄 I know people that come here from Canada for procedures they really need. Wonder why.
Amazing talk. Hope to see AOC do a town hall discussing the green new deal. With audience of coal miners and engineers.
Let me tell my experience in an emergency room. I had a fever a few years ago and I had to go to an emergency room, I won't name that hospital. When I got there they had checked me out, taken my temperature, my blood pressure, my pulse and along with other diagnosis, then sent me to a waiting room. I sat in a waiting room over 1.5 hour then the doctor came and gave me two Tylenols and sent me back home; all and all I have spent close to 3 hours in that emergency room. A week later I received a bill over $6000 for 2 Tylenols. Funny huh how the greatest nation on earth charged a patient of 6 grands for two Tylenols. When I got back home, I took two Advil every 4 hours 3 days straight and gotten better. Thank you.
We need more more and doctor to help are healthy and futur for us
AOC is a progressive Goddess she’s heaven-sent. I LOVE HER 👊🏼🔥

Why aren't psych nurses experienced in crisis negotiations part of the on-call team of police who respond to mental health calls or calls that turn out to have a mental health reason for the call? Also Community Police Officers who are well trained in the management of Crises, whose responses aren't to kill first and think later.
there are a shortage of psych nurses compared to the demand. I agree w/ u tho, there should be more
AOC is a great politician.
Thank u god bless u all
That is going down $1.
This is what the old Congress is up against, young people with new ideas .and it seems the old ideas aren't cutting it for the young.this is what our country is all about. after all its the next generation that is going to take the torch ,and they also pass it on to the next generation.
Let yang adult to pild the green for life and futur for us
Sat in a waiting room for over 9 hours with an open wound my partner had pressure wrapped for me. They took me back and offered me narcos, in which I declined and asked for ibuprofen. They took the pressure wrap off my finger and gave me a rag to wait in the waiting room, where I did 9 hrs until getting stitches. Sadly they want to push narcos and push you back in the waiting room. And we wonder why our country has an opiod crisis.
People like u as doctor we need u to come to work with us and help ower community hunty
In taking care of each other, we affirm our human nature, our collective strength & wholeness, our societal & ecological stewardship, our future. This is Ms. Ocasio-Cortez's raison d'etre.
7:15 AOC.
Can u work with us like her that have good work for are futur and are healthy life good life
Be my first Lady
AOC 💕 KEEP GOING FORWARD AM PROUD OF YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN
I am 75 now. In all of my lifetime I have never - and I say never - been asked to pay a doctor visit - here in Denmark . Well, through our taxes all right. But in this way we all help eachother - go to the doctor or a hospital nor a specialist nor an ambulance - no charge. Is this what the richest country in the world USA cannot afford ... come on (Finn/Denmark)
But how long did you wait to be accepted by a specialist? A specialist to which you had no saying whether you liked he/she or not.
Costs of socialized medical care are not monetary but nevertheless valuables : long waiting times, medicine deficits, doctors that don't really care about their patients, bribery. Check the historical examples of former socialist countries. Verify where the advancement in medical science and technology takes place.
As Milton Friedman said : "[...] after the fall of communism everybody in the world agreed that socialism was a failure , everybody in the world, more or less, agreed that capitalism was a success . And every capitalist country deduced from that that what the West needs is ... more socialism" czcams.com/video/mKhfR8WC4Eo/video.html
@@ovidiucroitoru2290 Ovidiu - none of that has happened. Very decent treatment here. I have NEVER even once experienced e.g. bribery (nor in other affairs). Danes do not think in that way. All of the points you mention belong to less educated countries, Denmark is NOT a "former communist/socialist country" and has never been.
Come and experience. You will not believe your ears and eyes. NONE of the doubts you mention will you ever experience here in Denmark. We are decent people :-)
P.S.: By the way, when ill and in need for a specialist, the procedure is very smooth. Your doctor assigns you to the relevant specialist. Everything goes from there. No fuss whatsoever :-)
@@ovidiucroitoru2290 I echo the Dane in saying that Canada also has universal healthcare and while it's not perfect, I am SO grateful for it. Most Canadians are healthier and live longer than Americans because we can afford to go to the doctor when the issues are small. It ends up saving the country money in the long term to have healthy people! Also better for the economy, for families etc. Net positive all around.
@@ovidiucroitoru2290 Denmark is litterally rated the least corrupt country in the world (US at 25th) and there would never be any real reason to bribe anyone because you get a good service. And why would danish doctors care less about their patient than an US doctor? they get paid their salary just like any other doctors. I dont know about waiting time in the US but i would't call it long in Denmark, you just go online and there is a page were you can see your doctors schedule and see what times are booked and what times are available, then you just select the time best suited for you. Normally you can get a time within the week, maybe the next week. Never heard about any form of medicine deficient in Denmark and on top of that you can get it for free or for a reasonable price depending on situation. To echo Finns point its a pretty smooth procedure to get a specialist and you absolutely have they right to choose another if you are displeased with the service. And just so you know there is big differences between communisme, socialisme and social democracies. In Denmark we have a capatalisme, we just choose to have certain things like healthcare, eduacation and childcare at a national level so everybody gets an equal chance to compete in the free market.
In the US the system is setup by the rich and enforced by the rich, and they fuck over the poor every sigle day in every possible way they can for their own profit. If any form of media
Sorry for my bad English, but i ve to Say that AOC Is Simply a new Hope..i love this so clever girl . I live in Italy, we make a lot of mistakes, we know what corruption Is ,at High level, on our skin, but,believe me,having our public health care , even with all its limits and imperfections, Is a huge luck..huge. do not believe private health Is Better..never do ..
Hey ocasio
We can make it to presidency
Echo.....
Clean up the food Industrial Nabisco Kraft all them making this country sick.
Never that
“If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.” I would really rather be free to earn that “big bag of cash” than be dependent on big government and be their slave. Study history and you will know the ending to big government. It’s so horrific to see medical students no longer believe in the objective truth that life begins in conception and protecting that life is just a choice. They become doctors and they yield the power to choose who lives and who dies. Last time I checked, doctors do their best to save ALL lives - it was not just a matter of choice.
No more fast food cook ur Owen food for ur health
Do we need killer doctor no
Unfortunately those that study well question least.
It's hopening new we need to stop it
Too much greed from all sides of this subject. People are not going to med school to get paid peanuts. Hospitals are a business and we know what that means. Business is about the money. Should they charge something of course, but not a ridiculous amount when you for and x-ray and some Tylenol.
I'm sorry but if you take the time and look into what AOC has actually done about M4A, apart from talking about it, her record is flat out disappointing.

@@cpt0118 much easier on the ears in my opinion, and I'm not particularly fond of either of them lol
The American healthcare system is fairer and of a higher standard than UK NHS. But it's meaner for the economically poor USA residents. If there was a way to improve standards at the free clinic level, then that would be a good compromise under the current system.
*Pay higher wages and graduate more doctors.*
AOC is a rising star in American politics.
Some are good some are bad

You mean healthcare EQUALITY not equity?
Equality means everyone gets the exact same thing regardless of whether it addresses their deficits or not (someone with $50,000 and someone with $1 in the bank both get $1000 because it is an equal amount), equity means each person gets what they individually need so everyone is on an even playing field (if everyone was to have $100,000 wealth, the person with $50,000 would get $50,000 and the person with $1 would get $99,999 because that is an equitable amount). Justice is having no one with only $1 in their bank in the first place by introducing policies and legislation that meet the needs of everyone in society.
@@hayley4466 sorry, you’re confused at these terms. That is not the correct difference between equity and equality. Equality is a social term where rich vs poor should be treated equally irrespective of ability to pay. Meaning resources are distributed without any bias. Every day physicians like myself treat patients without any care for their ability to pay. We don’t check their insurance cards before treating them. They get the same treatment if they’re bilionaire or homeless, atleast in hospitals. Equity is a business term which has to do with financial stake in an enterprise, like stocks or shares. Meaning if I’m the owner of a practice, I have 100% equity in that practice. That is similar to you owning any business. Others don’t have any equity in that business. As a consumer of healthcare, in a non emergent situation, you’re free to choose whichever option you prefer. That
I'm not confused, I'm a Registered Nurse and health equity, equality and justice was part of my studies and continues into my practice. My view is coming from living in New Zealand where we turn up to the GP or ED (or literally any type of medical facility) and don't need to bring any form of payment or proof of insurance as our health system is public and paid for through taxes (and almost no one has any type of health insurance because all it gets you is higher up on the wait list for surgeries such as joint replacements). Most of our healthcare is free and accessible by all (the largest cost is $5 for a prescription (insulin, contraceptives, anything prescribed by a doctor that is dispensed at a pharmacy) or $15 if prescribed by a specialist physician) so our health equality and equity issues are largely not financial and stem from a primary health and health promotion point of care rather than a "we won't even look at you if you cannot provide payment" point of care which seems more in line with what the USA is presenting.
@@hayley4466 Equity and Equality are different terms. So is justice. Just because you took a course on them, it does not mean you are an authority in either of these esp. when your understanding of these terms is off. Justice is similar to equality - not equity. Equity is a financial term, equality is an ethical term and justice is a legal term. Yes, there can be overlap in specific situations, but the way AOC used it - it does not make any sense.
As a commonwealth country, New Zealand, like Canada and the UK and a few others, have decided to pay for their healthcare expenses as part of tax collection. USA has not, with the exception of medicare (free healthcare for retirees, disabled and anyone over 65), and Medicaid (which is insurance for those who cant afford it). This policy is decided by the congress, and at times, by the president as an elected official by the people. The congress, elected by the people comprises of House of Representatives and Senate. Congress writes legislation, senate passes it and the president signs it - to break it down to you. AOC is a congresswoman among 500+ members (member of House of Representative). There are others, and they make a collective decision. AOC is what most would consider extreme left in U.S. politics. She is unlikely to have support of majority of the country. In her own party, there is a divide between extreme left and center-left Democrats like Joe Biden who do not believe in medicare for all. No, people in the U.S. aren't dying of 'no insurance', which is the biggest misconception I hear. They need to apply otherwise it would be provided for them at a discount from marketplace. A variety of options exist. And I already told you, there is no obstruction in care being provided to those who cant afford. Sometimes care provided at state hospitals and medicaid hospitals is better than private hospitals. Its the same physicians that staff all the hospitals. Take a look at NYU hospitals - VA, Bellevue, Tisch - VA is a government hospital, Bellevue is a city hospital, and Tisch is a private hospital. The care is provided by same doctors at these places without discrimination.
@@playarf I understand equity, equality and justice are different terms as I explained above. I also studied Law prior to transitioning into Healthcare so I understand how the USA legal and governmental systems work (as much as the systems themselves understand how they work, there are many areas of uncharted legislation and policy). Glad we could have this discussion.
lol this doesn't sound like "free" doctor care. This sounds like a government-run doctor's appointment. lmao I'd like a bag of cash btw.
exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait for health care lottery, who get's care and who gets to wait in line...oh, we will all wait in line...
Or they will create unnecessary crisis
Pls come and work with us to help are community and hunty for futur
bwhahahahaha...just what all these med students want to hear...free medical...how are you going to pay back that HUGE student loan???????????????? Oh it's already here, I have YET to see my new doctor, but I am paying out the ass for a PA..

Try again in English, arsehole - blagodaryu vas, KKKretin...
but how are you gonna pay for it? trick question, you can't. Isn't enough money for that socialized plan destined to fail
@mario Dias well after Obama created Isis, Trump pretty much destroyed them. I'd consider ending a large terrorist organization a win, unless you disagree.
The system would be funded in part by the savings obtained from replacing today’s inefficient, profit-oriented, private insurance companies - and the system-wide administrative waste they generate - with a single streamlined, nonprofit public payer. Such savings, estimated in 2017 to be about $500 billion annually, would be redirected to patient care.
Lol the US boast about being the richest country in the world, but there is apperently no money to pay for basic medical care like any other developed country (and even a lot of countries u would probably call 3rd world)
Has it failed in Europe?
@@fune3487 of course there is, you and I will pay 60% of our income in taxes...can't wait!!
Motives are now another variable to counter.
The health care is the US is awful and I know from personal experience. Because I am 26 and self employed I have to pay for the insurance. Because I have a chronic disease that requires medication I had the choice of paying $1,400 a month for health insurance or pay $5,000 a month for the medication that I need to live and not die..... that’s all you need to know about the health care here
Move to Canada...
@@julestalley1647 last I heard is they aren’t allowing any Americans to move there at the moment! Trust me I’ve thought about it!
🙄🙄🙄
If medicine is the core, why are politics so paramount?
Just like obama aoc says nothing better than anyone
or maybe you just not listening to the message
2 term president. Zero impeachments great economy. President Obama.
Aoc won an international science competition and receive an award from MIT and has an astroid named after her.
I am surprised and disappointed that there was only one question regarding the future pay for the potential doctors sitting in that room. I am a doctor. I understand fully the financial, mental and physical demands that being a surgeon in this society requires. I have news for you wide eyed medical students who think Medicare for all is going to bring you the professional and financial satisfaction that after 12 to 15 years of training should deliver. If you think the insurance companies are greedy, wait until some politician like AOC is in charge of determining what your worth is. The government doesn’t care that you went to school for over a decade, missed spring breaks, Christmas vacations, summer vacations, out on the town with friends, all in an effort to pass medical school exams, state and national exams, written and oral, etc,.. just to practice medicine, then to be told a plumber deserves more compensation than you. AOC didn’t finish pre-med because she wasn’t smart enough. She didn’t purse medicine because she realized how many years it takes to be a doctor in this country. All of those students sitting in that room will one day, if you are lucky enough to pass your USMLES and Board exams, will be on call, missing your family grow, will be sued in court and will have many weeks of 120 hr work weeks. Enjoy it now, students......I promise you, when you get that reimbursement check from Medicare after saving a persons life of which you spent hours managing and the check is in the amount of $76.81........You will think twice about selling yourself short.
Society without doctors would collapse. So definitely doctors are critical. Why do you think they won't be compensated for their work and personal sacrfice?
Agreed, why do you think they wouldn’t be compensated fairly? Why are you using this fear based logic? She’s obviously against the corruption and trying to fix those injustices. I don’t see why Drs wouldn’t be paid their fair wage when they’re the backbone of our societies. And I think she was meant to be congresswoman, call it what you want, this was her fate.
What makes you think doctors wouldn't be compensated fairly? Ppl are still becoming doctors in the UK. no one wants to belittle the jobs of medical professionals. Why fear monger, when you can use compassion and empathy
Right now there are many doctors who make fortunes for themselves and contribute real value to the society marginally....so, if you are going to med school and think your compensation should be in proportion to the years you spent learning it, you are in the wrong pursuit. Become a real estate agent...
@ MSG LLC nice try, insurance bro. You’ve memorized the fear based talking points well. But it’s nonsense because there is nothing that says a Medicare for All single payer plan will reimburse at the same rates as current Medicare. Also, doctors would regain autonomy over patient care, no longer micromanaged by private insurers or burdened by costly paperwork. Buh bye 👋
Wow just no
It breaks my heart to hear medical students support abortion.
Abortion is killing a human in the womb not medical care or health care. 😔
Worse when government intervenes to take away a woman right to chose. Rich white men have no right to make laws to stop a women abortions but do nothing to help her once the baby is born! Especially if she’s a poor single mom!!!
100% agree Lal
I think in cases of rape or mothers health it is important to have abortion available. And included under rape would be taxing advantage of immature women who are socially immature. But in cases where none of the above apply, women have to learn that sexual activity is not a place where women can have a throw away mentality towards pregnancy. It should be a given the voluntary sexual activity means you are accepting the consequences of your choices. And that it is not justifiable to expect that because you made a decision someone else must take care of the results, such as unwanted pregnancies or adoption of babies.
@@juststunned4210 I have been thinking about you. May you see the beauty and value of each human life. Once you see the true dignity then it is impossible to tolerate abortion for any reason.
I personally know people conceived under horrible circumstances and they have a right to life like you and me. Yes, it is hard but punishing the child for the sin of the father or parents is a sorry excuse. I am praying that the world sees life as a gift from The Almighty God once again and not a burden or garbage. May we nurture our children likje never before. Once we allowed abortion, the child abuse rates have skyrocketed not decreased. Very interesting. No?
N soooo many men get away for yrs WITHOUT paying child support! Let's talk about that!
