The lady at 17.42, showing her 3-day, $83,334.33 hospital bill is damning of "The American Way"

@Gusman 320,000 people filed for bankrupcy in the US last year due to medical bills. How is that superior in any way? How is that good for an economy? How does that make for a more productive nation?

@JimboSaturn Make America Great Again? In my opinion, it was never great.

@Gusman Should I tell her about my week long hospital stay that cost me $7.70 (Because I wanted "the good stuff" pain relief to take home??)😷

@whowasthatmaskedman My wife got treated for cancer, got the whole works. All we had to pay for was parking at the hospital

@whowasthatmaskedman Yes, do it. 😄Comment on the video. Show Americans what good health care looks like. 🙂

@Gusman Lets be fair. We couldnt have got through WW2 without America. And from then up to the moon landings they led the world (in more or less the right direction) But like every empire. They got greedy, felt entitled and forgot what made them great..😷

@JimboSaturn And thats as it should be. Public health is a public good. (And get that concession parking if you can. Hospital parking is a rip off.)😷

Never forget though. The war raged on without America stepping up. Only when Pearl Harbour was attacked did they decide to step in.
Granted, they did send ships and planes and food to Britain.
But military might?
They wanted to remain out of the war for as long as possible.
What might have happened if Pearl Harbour was never attacked?

@Gusman Britain had to pay for all of that. US demanded compensation. It really hit the UK hard.

@Gusman True. America was very late to both world wars and never entered a war they didnt profit from.. However, it seems they are trying to make up for that by being really early for this next one..Even if they have to start it themselves..😷

@JimboSaturn Same here in Australia. If I was diagnosed with cancer here in Australia, treatment would be free in a public hospital.

Funny you should ask!
Sir Winston Churchill of Great Britain tried desperately to convince US President Roosevelt to join WWII, but Roosevelt said that WWII was Europe's problem, not America's..
It wasn't until Churchill THEN revealed to Roosevelt that Hitler had 6 German submarines parked below the surface at the entrance to New York Harbor with one sub actually situated abeam the Statue of Liberty within the harbor itself... and Roosevelt didn't know it! They had been there for 6 months, going back and forth between North America and Germany, ffs's!
US President Roosevelt didn't know any of that because the so-called "American Intelligence" hadn't detected any such thing on their own doorstep, but British Intelligence certainly had, at which point Churchill informed the US President that America was about to become annexed by Hitler.
What the Americans didn't know until Churchill told them, was that Hitler's submarines had been sitting 3 miles off the eastern seaboard of the USA for 6 months during the early stages of WWII and had sunk over 670 US and British Merchant ships 3 miles off the coast as they exited NY Harbor, which were supply ships leaving the US bound for UK for the war effort. Those ships of course, never arrived in UK and nobody in the USA could figure out why!
It was British Intel who brought American Intel up to speed on how close Hitler was coming to annexing Continental USA back in the early 1940s.
So when you ask what would have happened if Pearl Harbor wasn't attacked, truth is, nothing different would have happened. It was not Pearl Harbor that got the US off it's fat assss to join WWII in Europe, it was Churchill bringing Hitler's subs park at the entrance to NY Harbor to Roosevelt's attention that got American to sit up and start paying attention to WTF was going on.
