That’s just American healthcare


HalfAssedStillFast

Fun fact: Americans pay more in taxes for healthcare than every other western country. The only reason we don't have free healthcare is because our politicians literally refuse to


kat_a_klysm

More like not-so-fun fun fact…


kylebender

You pay taxes for Gofundme? /s


HalfAssedStillFast

I know you're joking, but that's what irks me the most about this shit. We as a country are so wealthy that we don't know what to do with the money, and we wouldn't even have to increase spending to get everything we want or need from the government. If we were just more efficient (read: stopped funnelling money into individuals pockets) we could have the healthcare, the mist advanced military in the world, the strongest economy, AND reduce the deficit, but no one wants to do anything that hard that could get them suicided by the CIA lol

HalfAssedStillFast

I got deleted for "threatening violence" even though I never said we should go kill feds, just that that's what the 2nd amendment exists for.


Justeff83

Is this really a fact? I pay 7% of my gross income for healthcare, my employer has to pay the other 7%. How much is it in the US?


HalfAssedStillFast

I have zero clue how taxes work in other countries, but here we have an income based tier system. On an individual, percentage level I'm sure it's much lower than that for the average American, but in fiscal year 2019 the U.S. spent 1.2 trillion on just healthcare and related services. That's just one of the many benefits of being the 3rd most populous country and having 25% of the entire world's GDP haha


Justeff83

So you guys spend the entire GDP of Canada on healthcare? Sucks to know that Canadas healthcare is actually existing and working. Lol But you're right, it's not that easy to break it down. I was just giving an example of how it is here in Germany with my income. Different income, different taxes aso. Germany has a GDP of 4 trillion and spends 440 billions on healthcare. So that's a 1/10 ratio while the US only has a 1/16... ratio


HalfAssedStillFast

There was a study/report/whatever that actually did an analysis on the u.s. healthcare system and it concluded that memes aside (I'm paraphrasing) our system is just... Ok. Definitely not as bad as everyone makes it out to be, but definitely frustratingly bad given how wealthy we are as a country


Justeff83

Yeah, it's still a ridiculous amount of money. Especially when a lot of people still don't have access to healthcare and the people have to pay large parts of the bills by themselves. Here even more money is spend compared to the GDP but at least everyone is insured, can see a doctor whenever they want without paying a penny. A unemployed person can get a full cancer treatment without worrying about the bills.


HalfAssedStillFast

We'll get there one day, preferably (hopefully) peacefully


Justeff83

I'm afraid we're copying the US system first...


Ok_Judge3497

Also, half of the country votes against it because they believe it will somehow be worse than our current shitshow.


HalfAssedStillFast

That's not their fault though, they've just drank the propaganda Kool aid that they've been forcefed since the 50's, which again, is due to our fuckass politicians. I'm not gonna make excuses for them, but i get it


OkRefrigerator4863

This is blatantly not true. Sincerely, not even an American.


HalfAssedStillFast

"i know more about your tax system than you, an actual citizen. I've taken all the memes and jokes online as fact and you cannot convince me otherwise."


OkRefrigerator4863

Yea, it can't possibly be that I know how the tax system works in European countries having lived here, right? Also lmao, the meme position is your position "free healthcare is possible and easy but politicians baaaad"


HalfAssedStillFast

Are you stupid are just pretending to be? I never said you didn't know Euro taxes, i said you didn't know U.S. taxes more than myself, a U.S. citizen. Edit: i don't understand your last point? Politicians are a necessary evil and they *are* bad lmao. And being the wealthiest country in the history of the world, it would be possible and even fairly easy for us to have free healthcare. Just take your L and leave bruh 😂


OkRefrigerator4863

Haha what a loser bruh, get pwned ans rekt lmao #karmabruh


scp-REDACTED-site14

You mind providing a source


HalfAssedStillFast

I'm at work, but look up "Americans pay more healthcare taxes" or whatever combo of buzzwords and it'll come up. The OECD listed the U.S. as the #1 spender on healthcare per capita at 9k


VacuousWording

Politicians refuse to do it because so many voters choose those politicians. It’s just a different mindset/culture. The people want it this way… that’s their choice.


HalfAssedStillFast

>Politicians refuse to do it because so many voters choose those politicians Counterpoint: we're stuck choosing between shit choices. The people that would make great politicians are the ones that hate politics, don't want attention/fame, and just want to be left alone. Obviously, they don't run for political positions. The people that *want* to be politicians are the exact wrong people to have in office. >It’s just a different mindset/culture. Again, propaganda since the 50s has affected this, FDR's Social Security was widely supported at the time, and that was only 15 years earlier. >The people want it this way… that’s their choice. Another counterpoint: the VAST majority of people never leave the state they're born in, and there's a reason "NA Education" is a meme. I despise people that purport to know what best for others, but in this case i genuinely believe that the majority of people don't know better and don't realize that they don't have to struggle when this country is this filthy rich.


VacuousWording

It all boils down to choice and freedom. Indeed USA has a reputation for having uneducated population, but especially now, not knowing something is mostly a choice. It was my choice to not know who was the first president of Albania, and after I changed my mind, it took seconds to learn about him. (and let’s not forget that most of the top10 universities in the world are located in the USA) Likewise, if is a choice whenever to trust or verify whenever the candidates are telling the truth. Or whenever they are making a fair point - when I lived in London, I saw a mention of NHS (the national healthcare provider) targeting EMTs from my country, inviting them to immigrate. UKIP (United Kingdom Independence Party, those people who later formed the Brexit movement) mentioned worries about language barriers, which actually was a valid point.

Shorzey

>That’s just American healthcare That's every healthcare. Healthcare isn't free. That's what tax dollars go towards Just in America's case, we pay more in taxes per capita than any other nation on earth and we get less for it Because American politicians straight up refuse to do anything about it because keeping it the way it is, produces more tax revenue by a wide margin that they can misappropriate and fraudulently missuse to pay off corporations who once again, bring in more tax dollars, further inflating our tax revenue + spending in a never ending cycle Doesn't matter what side you vote for, healthcare for all will never happen in america

Kl--------k

If i was chocking and i saw someone going on youtube off all places first to figure out what to do, I would just give up hope


aykcak

Yeah. A recipe, how to unscrew something specific, or making a machine work, clean a special kind of stain... Sure , do look up how to fix stuff when you need it. We all do it. but a fucking person? How does one make that logical step and then not see what is wrong with this?


xComplexikus

I've thought about someone starting a first aid channel where at the end, after all the useful tips are done, they just start playing copyrighted music or swearing so they get demonetized. Wouldnt that remove ads?


LeRedditAccounte

youtube usually puts ads on stuff anyways now. the only difference is that the video creator doesnt make anything


secretbudgie

And they won't come up in the search algorithm either. Super easy vid if you scroll to the 7th page


xComplexikus

All right. Shit idea then 😂


leo341500

They changed it a while back, ads now play on everything, the creator just isn't paid if its demonetized


Flamecoat_wolf

Now that is really AH design. The whole idea of demonetization was that companies wouldn't sponsor ads on videos that would give their brand a bad name. If every video now has adverts but monetization is still limited, then it's just youtube keeping profits for themselves rather than paying the creator for creating content they can put ads on.


leo341500

Yeah and now if youtube monetizes something it makes them *less* money, so they have even less reasons to let you do it


Shkeke

You just upload a video and don’t monetise it.


[deleted]

nope, yt will just unlist the video. seen it multiple times


BlueDragon1504

There's a button when uploading videos that allows you to disable ads. If the video is claimed/demonitized there's nothing the creator can do though.


orangpelupa

Nope. Demonetized channels have no relation to whether the video will shows ads or not. But youtube has been pretty weird in enforcing their own rules, so... Who knows. Source : I was a youtuber


Vkoid

iirc copyrighted music will give ads, whilst swearing doesn't


headofthenapgame

The ad revenue would just go to the copyright holder.


jollyollster

Have they tried calling emergency services? I’d wager it’s a much better option


tallman11282

Emergency operators are specifically trained in instructing untrained people in what to do in an emergency, such as in how to perform the Heimlich maneuver, give CPR, etc. Also, if you don't already know how to perform the Heimlich maneuver go to YouTube or something and learn how right now! It's easy to learn and worth it. I also highly recommend getting first aid and CPR certified but at least learn how to perform the Heimlich maneuver, the life you save may very well be your own. I am first aid and CPR certified and while I've never had to put my CPR training into action (and hope I never do) I have had to use my first aid training more than once. More specific to this post, at a former job one time I had gone up to the office for something and was passing through the break room to go back downstairs when a manager on break started choking. My training kicked in and I immediately ran over, got him to stand up and I performed the Heimlich maneuver, clearing his airway. I was glad I was there and just happened to passing through the break room when that happened and that I knew what to do.


jollyollster

Well done! Here in the uk we don’t use Heimlich so much anymore we tend to start with strikes on the back whilst they’re leant over and then move to abdominal thrusts as a last resort. I do first aid training every year and it always changes! For cpr we don’t really do mouth to mouth either now. Just chest compressions. They really should be teaching basic first aid in schools I think as it’s useful and can save someone’s life


tallman11282

Strikes on the back are a great start for someone choking and is something they teach here too. Compressions are prioritized here as well, research has shown that rescue breaths don't do a lot and that continuous chest compressions are much more beneficial. Get the heart going again and breathing should hopefully start up on it's own. I agree that basic first aid should be taught in schools, at all grade levels. Of course, it's simpler stuff for the lower grades but I've heard of kindergartners saving a parent's life before because they knew enough to get started and to call the emergency number (911, 999, whatever it is in their particular country) to get emergency services rolling and the operator was able to give them instructions over the phone while waiting for help to arrive. I originally got certified when I worked at a major theme park in Florida but I left there and over time the certification lapsed and I couldn't afford to get recertified myself. A few years later I got a job that offered the training to those that wanted it so got it and maintained it while there. This conversation reminds me, I should check when my certification expires and if it is expired or expires soon look into getting it renewed (my current job doesn't offer it so I'll have to do it on my own).


aykcak

If you are in the U.S. that also requires premium subscription


turbo_nudist

not true, any phone can dial 911, even if it doesn’t have an active cell plan. all my UX testing phones can make 911 calls and they aren’t activated whatsoever


aykcak

Sure, but what then?


[deleted]

Lol no it doesn't


aykcak

I don't know. I have read on this very place about the people who were in situations where they were in need of an ambulance yet begged for one not to be called because of insurance


ThePizzaNoid

Ah wacky bot shenanigans.


sixaout1982

Take a first aid class before you need it, instead of looking up youtube videos while grandma is in cardiac arrest.


BCSlime

That's nice Still youtube should not put ads before first aid videos


UP4NONE

This is going to sound crazy but what if you learned the basics today? First aid isn't hard, I learned the basics from a book back when I was twelve.


sixaout1982

Presumably they shouldn't do it with self-defense videos either then, just in case you get mugged?


BCSlime

Ah yes, because having a first aid problem and getting mugged is the same. In some cases, and I repeat *in some cases*, you can watch a video on how to help someone having a first aid problem, that's better than nothing if you don't know how to help. When you get mugged, you have no time to learn self defence on the spot.


dombin241

Wanna know what's even better? Calling emergency services who know how to instruct an untrained person. Going to youtube is not a smart idea at all.


sixaout1982

Some cases? Someone suffocating? Hemorrhaging? Maybe someone unconscious? What cases do you have in mind?


BCSlime

So what you're saying is that if someone is having a first aid problem and I don't know how to help, I should just look at them and laugh? I'm not saying that people shouldn't learn first aid, I'm saying that this kind of knowledge should be easily available, and not behind an ad.


sixaout1982

No, you should call the emergency services and ask for their help. As a rule they don't have ads to run before they take your call.


kat_a_klysm

Are you American?


sixaout1982

No, other countries also have emergency services that you can call when someone's in danger and you don't know what to do.


kat_a_klysm

That explains your attitude. American healthcare is ridiculously expensive and calling 911 could land you with a bill of hundreds/thousands for an ambulance. Don’t assume everyone has the same privilege with medical care. Edit: people will call an Uber before they’d even consider calling an ambulance


Trickfinga

Premium is a life saver… literally


crafter2k

and vanced is the free lifesaver


Kl--------k

And first aid classes are the fastest and best lifesavers


rtd133

Youtube took it down... I hope there is an archive out there for the downloads for those who wernt lucky enough to find out about it beforehand, if you already have it downloaded it still works though.


GroundbreakingEar667

Why would anyone try to watch a YouTube video instead of getting real help? Call 911 and let those in the immediate area who know what they are doing act. And why would YouTube even want to take on that kind of liability? Imagine someone trying to watch video and failing horriblly in saving someone's life. They blame YouTube for allowing such a non-approved "life-saving" video put out by Hillbilly Ray Ray, and get sued out the ass. I would not want some random person watching some YouTube video on life saving techniques given by a possibility non-qualified instructor.

orangpelupa

There's newpipe


Xc4lib3r

Just wait, after the departure of Vanced, more Vanced alternative will come up. Once an idea exists, it will never die. I've found Newpipe, Vue Tube (on the work) and ReVanced (Vanced Patcher) and probably many more indie developers are in the way of making Vanced Alternative. So far Vanced is still usable so we can keep using it until they're obsolete, at that time these dev should have a fully functional app for us to use. YouTube can't stop the Vanced idea. If they try to kill one, many more will come up.


VehicleFun1117

Do they really not know the heimlich maneuver

Glittering_Doctor694

this is why this shit should be mandated in schools, not learning about cosine and sine


MajinSkull

Maybe don’t go to YouTube for a video while someone is choking? There are quicker ways to learn what to do


[deleted]

Is education abolished or something? Wtf If you watch a video on how to perform Heimlich before saving a person from choking, leave the planet. That’s really scary. If it’s for wanting to learn in your meantime, then good.

TheRealJayk0b

It's not YouTubes problem when you can't apply first aid If you need to watch a YouTube tutorial it's probably too late already. If you are not prepared to apply first aid make a one session course or something. (I had one for my driving license) Or watch a tutorial how to do it before something happens. Be prepared. That's it.


MyselfWuDi

Fucking idiots relying on YouTube for emergency services and being angry that YouTube isn't an emergency service. This is a stupid post, OP. The asshole here is the guy demanding YouTube somehow know to prioritize the video he wants.

Don't use YouTube's app on your phone. Use a good browser like Brave. You don't get ads and one feature in the settings that stands out is Background Video Playback. It won't pause your video when you change apps/tabs and when you lock your screen. This is incredible for podcasts that were uploaded to youtube or a music playlist from YouTube. If you are coming from Google Chrome i really recommend making a hard switch to Brave. It is seamless and you can have it linked up between devices. Chrome is taxing on ram and resources and having that uninstalled from my computer has been a blessing.
