Enjoy this video of Brits, who for generations have enjoyed nationalized healthcare, being absolutely stunned by the cost of basic health services in the USA. https://t.co/BSiWTqVib1

when I try to explain how my insurance works here to british people they're like "wait, so you pay your premiums... and then you pay more when you actually go to the doctor?" https://t.co/4lMGmFHmYq

Watch this. Why do we accept this as normal? https://t.co/L0QD4OVsnx

America: Share your premiums and copays.

I paid over $10,000 in 2019 alone for a health plan (covers me and two kids). A single visit to the ER is a $600 copay. Meaning, $600 gets one of us inside the door.

I have taught my kids how to live inside a hermetically sealed bubble. https://t.co/XhGJUlu2uA

I feel so incredibly lucky to live in a country where healthcare isn't a complete rip off... where it isn't even something I have think about.

The NHS is always there, ready to help if I or my family need it. I want it to stay that way. https://t.co/3XkC9PAYEf

This is what happens in a civilized country when they hear about our barbaric healthcare system in America. They genuinely asked, "So, if you're poor, you're dead?" Yes! If you don't have health insurance in America we let you die. Unreal. #MedicareForAll right now! https://t.co/k5yz9zQYtG

I have made a lot of new British and Canadian friends over the past couple of years and almost every single one of them has these sorts of reactions whenever I talk about the U.S. medical system. https://t.co/f0f0Pd1IO3

Watch this video of Britons freaking out about how much Americans pay for health care, get angry, and then join the fight for #Medicare4All. Health care should not be a for profit industry, it should be guaranteed as a human right as it is in every other part of the first world. https://t.co/YeCuPOcfjy
