I live in Norway and got diagnosed with testicular cancer. Surgery, CT scan, freeze down sperm, 4 consultation, appointment with a social worker to help with economic and family, chemo therapy and a lot of drugs. I payed around 100$ in total. For everything. Everything.
Wow.here in the us,someone may fall into dept upwards of $100,000 for that type of healthcare.i may move to Norway lol
Dis u loosw both your testicels i Gogh Chevrolet for testicular cancer and They didnt find any thing
I am a Norwegian. In 2015 i was diagnosed with cancer of the prostate gland. Operated by robot (!) at the St Olafs Hospital i Trondheim. Big hospital, 11 300 people work there. 2016, by bloodtest, it was found that som cancercells may have survived, so I underwent 35 rounds of radiation. With all travels (free) all medicins (heavily subsidised by the system) - the whole affair cost me around 400 dollars. Since then up to 300 dollars a year in medicins.
That´s all. No need to think about insurance, not much waiting time anywhere.
And that robot - well, its controlled by a surgeon, of course - was really, really something!
Here in Ontario, the most populated province in Canada. Prescription medication is now free for all people under 25 years old. As long as you have an OHIP card (provincial health card) you can get your medication costs covered. It's not ideal but it's a step forward.
I am a Norwegian women. 3 year ago I was hiking alone in the montens. Very steep. When I was almost at the top, I felt that somthing was terribel wrong. I Called 113 and after 10 miutes the helicopter came and picked me up. It was a heart attack. The helicopter took me to the airport, where the ambulanse playn fly me to the hospital. I got a stent. I was in for 3 day. I have 3 meal a day. I tok regular flight home and taxi from the airport and home to my hous. All THIS Cost Me nothing. I'm glad i live i Norway.
@Madasin !. To bad. 😢
Thank you Bernie and panel. #SinglePayer #MedicareForAll NOW!
my professor moved to US for her marriage and gave us in depth knowledge of Canada's system / pros and cons. After group analysis and research we compared several healthcare systems different countries / US did not come out on top. Drug prices obviously the high.
I can`t belive that this only has 2372 vews. Get this out to every american before november! They have to understand!
what amazes me is most americans prefer the american Health system... talk about beeing brainwashed...
I remember as a kid when i Learned that in the US, healthcare is not a right. That you have to pay before they can treat you. I dont remember the movie i first learned about this, but the plot was that they had to sell everything they had and beg for money to save their father who was in the hospital dying. They could’nt operate on him before the money was on the table.
I remember being so disgusted. Thinking how barbaric it was. Where is the love for one another? I remember being so angry and sick. That money ment more than people.
I learned then that the world is far from perfect. As a kid in Norway it is hard not to be happy. We have everything. Everywhere is safe and people will help you when you need it. I Remember feeling sad for the people living in such countries like the US, and how lucky we were.
And still, all the Norwegians i know are complaining about how boring and bad it is here. If they only knew how bad the world really is....
wow!
we need to get the information out to the American people, they simply don't understand it. I am a physician and have worked here and in Norway.
Not all Americans do understand their own best.
The limit in norway per year is around 270$ (around 2200NOK) having "free" healthcare and school helps build a country in so many ways.! More people in work/school. people get better education wich increases and brings in fresher and " updated" new people into new types of work. wich again helps in the longer run towards new technology and ways of living. and it keeps poverty AND crime low! wich is a win/win! search for (Where in the world is it easiest to get rich? | Harald Eia | TEDxOslo ) it explains in so many ways why these things help a country in so many ways. aswell as giving people a good and long life happy!
And payed vacations:-)
@@ronnyandersen5521 its not paid vacations, you are deducted 10.2%-12% of your paycheck each month to save up for this, thats why you are not paying taxes on this money as you already have done so, also its the employer who save the money for you so you do have money when you take a holiday.
Basically it is your own money, that the company save for you.
Most people in the US has a health care insurance via their job. Now 30+ million US citizens have become unemployed, I guess they lose their coverage too
Bravooooo
I've lived in a country with single-payer healthcare my whole life. When I think there are countries where access to healthcare is not a human right I struggle to understand why that happens. It's not that hard, it's not that expensive, many developed countries in the world are doing it, why does the US keep behaving like an underdeveloped country when it comes to that?
Is your IQ blue. Like a baloon🤔

Thats so American of Bernie. "Lets do Norway... Okay, Canada, go." lol I know we have funny names but that was an awesome americanism
We have the same type of health care systems all over the Scandinavia, with some differences between the countries.
Thanx Bernie, when will the US learn...
What don’t American politicians get. The US government already pays double per capita than Canada for healthcare 🤦🏻♀️
Statistics already show that Canadians have better healthcare outcomes than Americans. Is our plan perfect no but Canadians would never ever give up their healthcare.
I was diagnosed, had a Ct scan and was on treatment for cancer in less than 2 weeks. I never had to worry if I was going to lose my house or go bankrupt. No 9ne ever waits for emergencies as you are seen right away.
The American politicians get paid by the insurance companies. They know. They don't care.
My American sister owes 170,000 USD for surgery she is 79 years old, creditors' knocking at her door I pay 32 Canadian dollars a month in Canada I can have a transplant it will cost me nothing zero including any medical treatment if you cannot afford 32 dollars a month its free
Great discussion of health care system issues.
The variety of health insurance plans in the US is a confusing zoo. A lottery where you bet on how you will do. Crazy.
In Scandinavia we save lifes, instead of kill lifes
You dont kill lifes, you take lives.
Imagine if you had to choose and negotiate which fire department or police force would turn up when you call 911. Imagine if an Icelandic military force was invading your coastal state and you had to look up your Defense Contract to know a) which mercenary force or militia to call, and b) if the contract covers invasions by Icelanders!
In EVERY developed country some basic issues are guaranteed (and paid for with your taxes): Community safety (Firefighting and Police), the well-being of yourself and your family (Health Care) and the future of your offspring and yourself (Education and Pension).
Most developed countries spend an inordinate amount of resources on warfare (called Defense), but there is one country that is geologically invasion-proof but still spends astronomic sums on "defense", but have only used their military forces for actual OFFENSE in the last 70 years, only fighting and even instigating conflict well outside their own border. Their "Department of Defense" should really be called the "Department of Offense". This country is NOT Russia, which has been invaded twice in just a few centuries. Putin's Russia certainly is deplorable, exporting organized and political crime overtly and covertly, but the US appears to be winning the "who is most deplorable" contest.
If the US were to crank down their "defense" spending to suit their domestic needs, the "how are you going to pay for affordable health care and education" question becomes moot.
Healthy people work.
Working people earn money and tax the country.
Profit?
Thats the idea of Norways health care system, parents leave etc. Keeping people working benefits the countries more than people tend to know.
Bernie Sanders 🤗🍷🇳🇴
:-)) Love
My Lung cancer medicine would cost me $2,000.00 a month, if it wasn't for Kaiser I would be bankrupt!
Why did no one ask about how it is paid for in those countries? The girl from France volunteered part of the answer. She said while working there was a medical deduction from her pay check much like our SS here. But did not say exactly how much. In out case the SS is 6% employee and 6% employer. I hear going up. I think that is a easy solution here with employer maybe paying a bigger percentage because they cover part of it now. However, my business has resellers in other countries like France and what I hear is yes they have this but taxes a really high on the employees to pay for it.
I am disappointed in your title on sometimes description “Medicare for All”. It is not the same as Medicare for Seniors now that you usually point out that like it. I will start Medicare in 6 months and have done a good bit of research and I believe I will like it. But it will definitely not be free. My cost based on my income is pretty high premium. However, I feel fortunate and don’t mind paying my fair share. I just think if you’d be truthful a lot like me might become a believer. I think starting out you may really want to consider using actual Medicare but expand the number of people that get it instead of a complete change. Overall I hope this works out because I believe in everyone having healthcare. Just how we get there.
Your IQ is. Blue. Like a yellow balloon.
Actually France has the highest ranked healthcare system
everytime I see Bernie I feel like KFC
🇳🇴
Many people think that medicare for all, paid by taxes is an stupid, nonsensical idea that only works in utopias. I dare you to come to Norway, Denmark, Sweden, or Finland for a visit. Break your leg while you are there, we don't care if you do it on purpose. Our hospitals WILL help you, doctors WILL help you, and we will NOT hold you for ransom while you figure out how to pay for anything in one of the most expensive countries in the world.
You should be ashamed of yourself if you think medicare for all, paid through taxes is not possible. You just have to stop trying to be at war ALL the time, and it's easy. Fuck, if the US cut only half of your military budget, you would have it.....
Lets be honest he american system is a big fucking joke
