Why We Don't Need Socialized Medicine video

A must show>

Although it did not address the ethical aspects of profit as it should have. This is still a good video.

I wish objectivists would post stuff like this to some of the socialist bullshit that ends up on youtube.

If I had a big enough subscriber base to generate profits I would post stuff like this more often. However I don't have much time to address all the collectivist idiots out there. Not that I am doing it for them, I enjoy it. Anyway, since we understand that the progression of freedom through of objectivist philosophy has to come about by study. We gather that the best way to put forth our ideas is at the college level. However can't youtube be just as valueable of a source?

Hell, when I started studying objectivism I watched XCowboy2's john galt videos at least 40 times. I also watched john stossel's segments on greed.

I am not sure if I would be an objectivist if it wasnt for youtube. Shouldn't it get more attention? All of you are bright and reasoned. I want to hear some people tear into some popular leftists like theyoungturks.

Oh, you're HowTheWorldWorks? Cool, welcome to OO.net!

I'm already subscribed to your channel, great debunking video. Two small points: 1) I haven't checked, but are you sure that a government-run fire dept is constitutional? Not that it really matters, Collectivists won't call you on that, of course. Although it would be hilarious if they did. 2) You could have been a little more detailed on why a non-government-run fire dept would not work the way the original video claimed. That's quite a bit of uninterrupted and uncommented original footage, which makes the entire section appear to be mostly unaddressed.

Thanks for making these videos. They are well done and enjoyable. I favorited this one, BTW.

Landon, I agree with Randroid on the Fire Department segment. Other than that I love your stuff! Keep up the good work.

A fire department is dealt with at the local level, so I don't see a problem with it

So, I have a question I'd like to ask to the OP of this thread.

Let's ignore, for a second, the difference in levels at which police/fire/water/etc. Is there any other difference, specifically between police, fire, and water? Why is it okay for the government to get involved in these particular things, and not health care.

I cannot see the video at the moment as youtube is down.

What I want to know is how healthcare worked in the U.S before state involvement in the form of medicaid and medicare and forcing employers to provide health insurance to employees.

What is the worst case scenario in the sense of the most expensive treatment and how will insurance work ?

Let's say a heart transplant costs £100,00, I have no idea but let's say it costs this much. Are there/were there specific insurance plans that deal with major surgical procedures, or do they cover everything? and how much per annum would this insurance cost?

Is it similar to travel insurance? travel insurance is very cheap, for 2 weeks abroad you pay £30, yet it covers you to the amount of several million pounds for major operations. Annual plans are also cheap.
