    Health & Medicine on Khan Academy: No organ quite symbolizes love like the heart. One reason may be that your heart helps you live, by moving ~5 liters (1.3 gallons) of blood through almost 100,000 kilometers (62,000 miles) of blood vessels every single minute! It has to do this all day, everyday, without ever taking a vacation! Now that is true love. Learn about how the heart works, how blood flows through the heart, where the blood goes after it leaves the heart, and what your heart is doing when it makes the sound “Lub Dub.”

    I'm in a healthcare professional grad school. This video was linked as part of our "prior to class" material. This should have been a "prior to graduating high school" material. so much covered in such a little amount of time that is easily listenable and easy to grasp. I listened on 1.5 speed and realized I needed to slow it down to fully grasp. Thank you again for amazing content. Y'all rock.

    The USA does not have a health care system. It has a health insurance industry. To say that the health insurance industry is a health care system is akin to saying that your auto insurance is your car care system.

  • @charliedallachie3539
    @charliedallachie3539 Před 4 lety +11

    Today in 2019 it seems broken still. Decent Insurance shouldn’t cost as much as rent and an ICU stay shouldn’t bankrupt someone. Even if you pay monthly premiums, you’re still at the mercy of insurance companies since they may deny to cover a critical surgery. What’s the point of paying thousands a year to be denied by it. Employers are slowly shifting costs to employees because of the rising costs.its nothing to sweat about if you’re wealthy but if you’re the rest of the 90% it’s expensive

    • @jimremedes8576

      2021 and the U.S. healthcare system is as broken as ever. Try to find good doctors. When your OWN insurance company denies the surgery your doctor says will fix your issue, something is VERY wrong. Oh, but look deeper at the problem. Insurance companies are in the business to make money for themselves and their shareholders. Doctors number one priority is to improve your well-being. Unless the insurance companies primary motivation is changed, healthcare will only become worse.

  • @56jmoney

    The last line Sal says is, "It makes a ton of sense." And it does, theoretically.
    My question is, how much profit are these insurance companies making? And if their profits are exorbitantly high, with patient care being overseen by management (HMO, PPO), could that money be better spent on patient care?
    A related question is: is patient care subsidiary to insurance company profit?
    This is not a political question, but a human[e] one.

    • @asrr62
      @asrr62 Před rokem +1

      well all the money i ever gave them has gone straight to their profits because they wont cover surgery. which means that i have to save up money for surgery. i cant work either right now because i need surgery too so yeah i think i give up with everything. such a fight.

    Insurance companies have large profit margins, even without the use of copayments. It's not really about minimizing abuse of the system, but rather maximizing profits. For every sick person there are many healthy people who pay monies to their governments or insurance providers, more than enough to pay for services for everyone. This is the conflict of interest that arises from privatizing healthcare. Healthcare is a basic necessity, and should be provided to all without prejudice. In Canada t

    "More money spent under the control of the health profession means that more people are operationally conditioned into playing the role of the sick, a role they are not allowed to interpret for themselves. Once they accept this role, their most trivial needs can be satisfied only through commodities that are scarce by professional definition."
    - Ivan Illich

    My friend, who's a macroeconomist thinks both funeral care and health care do NOT need to be a profiting business. He said that as long as health care remains a profiting business, it will always be a slave to insurance companies.
    He gives huge amounts of money to Drs. Without Borders.

      @Kelly-vv8nd Před 6 lety

      Linda, that is simply not true regarding profit in health care. Read Deadly Spin by Wendell Potter. Insurance companies run largely on making money off of the healthy then dropping the sick when they get too expensive.

      THANK YOU!! I found that completely annoying throughout the entire video. Obviously Mr. Khan knows this concept but for the layperson learning... We would not be saying "riii riii". We would be absorbing the information. I found it so annoying at the 2:25 minute mark where the presenter made the mistake of saying that the patient would buy the insurance company (insurance policy) and Mr. Khan jumping on that immediately. Super annoying and unnecessary. Ugh!!!!

  • @MrNintoku
    @MrNintoku Před 10 lety +14

    Glad my country has it made. Everyone gets free healthcare but 1.5% of the tax you pay or 8.7% of my countries GDP goes to providing that healthcare. But you also have the option to pay for a private health care plan which enables you to not have to wait in massive waiting lines and get other specialist services not covered by the Government Medicare (not the same as American Medicare).

    • @MrNintoku

    • @MrNintoku
      @MrNintoku Před 8 lety

      ***** That's the misunderstanding. I'm not taxed more. It's just a % of my taxes go towards providing everyone including myself access to basic medical care. Then for things like private health insurance or buying a new car or home and contents insurance etc I can salary sacrifice and end up paying less tax.

  • @Junoncross
    @Junoncross Před 3 lety +1

    Other guy is still wrong. Underutilization of services is still a much bigger problem than over utilization.
    The group that is the "Patients" actually loses more money and value in terms of dying population (that should have gone to the hospital) than the insurance company would by under-limiting us of health care resources.

    Are insurance co. and hospitals corporations or are they non-profits ? if they are corporations then their main concern is profits not health care. By law; a corporations first concern is profits for their stock holders. So any way these two insitutions can cut costs or increase income will effect the patients care. One more thing who is deciding what treatment a patient will receive the doctor or the insurance company ?

  • @xyzsccr
    @xyzsccr Před 7 lety

    So personally why would I ever choose an HMO policy over a PPO considering that the PPO is more flexible with who I see? Sometimes I would like to see multiple doctors to get second opinions, especially with surgical procedures, it doesnt seem HMO's offers that flexibility. So as a consumer is there a preference for one over the other?

    • @zerzim
      @zerzim Před 6 lety +2

      The only real advantage is that HMOs have lower premiums. Of course an HMO might end up being more expensive if you're not careful about seeing people within your network, so PPOs are generally preferred. But some people simply can't afford better healthcare insurance so they have to use HMOs.
