That last video got removed. Here is a mirror. Watch for the section on missing baby Madeleine McCann:

Billions donated to cancer research, and what have we got? Zilch.

Hillary will spend billions for Alzheimer's research. Sounds like a great, great plan.

But for me, I'd rather Donald Trump read up on Ray Peat and say "Cancel that research. Ray Peat has already figured it out. Just saved 2 billion dollars!" MAGA!

Zilch?

Persecuting honest doctors and scientists, arresting them, jailing them counts for nothing now?

That's hard work!

It would be earth shaking, to say the least. Revolutionary is more like it.

Never understood the Chinese Cultural Revolution until Trump. While it was very, very disruptive and many lives were lost, as it became a witch hunt, Mao may have felt the need to destroy the pillars of a rotting intelligentsia, and to remold the institutions similar to how Kemal Ataturk revived Turkey after the long and humiliating decay of the Ottoman Empire.

There is a stinking rot among the intellectuals in the US. Newt Gingrich explains it well:

Newt Gingrich: Trumpism explained

Our medical system is an example of how we have lost touch with the simple task of being responsible to our health, and yielded to the false complexity of a system designed to make us sick- and dependent. We are never free from this dependency, even when we know of Ray Peat. Can you recommend a doctor who practices Ray Peat?

We are a long way from medical freedom. Our doctors just need to understand: the shortest distance between two points is a straight line.

Be careful what you wish for.

Besides Clinton being anti-Alzheimer's, she would also have stopped vaccine violence. Just like how trickle down theorists cover the facts about climate change, they also hide the truth about the dangers of vaccines.
CDC commits scientific fraud, inflicts vaccine violence among African American children in shocking exposé
The misogynist elite are specifically targeting African Americans. By causing autism to the African American communities, the pharmaceutical companies are able to make huge profits.

 

[john3333]

The elite have plans to keep the lower class fat,sick, and nearly dead. That's how the pharmaceutical companies profit. Another example of this is the contaminated water in Flint, Michigan. The elite didn't want to help because Flint Michigan is mostly black and poor.
The elite are getting rich by making people diseased.

Wouldn't even wish for it. Besides, you made a good case for how this country is structured to defend its freedom. But it's never been tested in this way. If doom and gloom predictions come true, that would be the acid test.

You make a good case why Hillary got the majority vote. Like you, the majority believes everything she says. Pls. continue to live in the small confines of your echo chamber.

You actually voted to keep this very elite in power.

Republicans keep the elite in power.

Be an independent. Discard party labels. And I mean in name and in thought. Don't play to the tune of the pied piper!

Just read that half of American (personal) bankruptcies happen because of health treatment costs!

Will be very interesting to see what happens with Obamacare. I think Trump is too pragmatic to push 20 million people out of coverage.

Amazing that Americans complain about universal health care and yet you pay the most per person in the world for health care: clearly the "free market" is not working for individuals. Americans spend around $9,000 per capita per year - in UK it's less than $3,000 and we don't go bankrupt when we get cancer, or get refused coverage because of minimal pre-existing conditions!

Amazing that Americans complain about universal health care and yet you pay the most per person in the world for health care: clearly the "free market" is not working for individuals.

The essential problem with "healthcare" in the United States is high costs. Costs are high for two reasons: 1) Excessive regulation and red tape. Administration costs at hospitals and medical practices are out of control, mostly to deal with medicare and a mess of government mandates. The FDA and congress have deliberately driven the cost of drugs up, and these drugs are widely over-prescribed. 2) The system is riddled with various rackets. It is has been exposed time and again that regional hospital networks engage in coordinated price fixing. This is illegal and could be halted immediately by anti-trust action, but nobody does anything.

Expanding "healthcare" coverage by government mandate does absolutely nothing to address the fundamental problem, which is that treatments cost three times as much in the USA as overseas. It's not an insurance problem. It's not a "universal healthcare" problem. It's the various government enabled rackets driving up prices. You wouldn't fix a thing by expanding medicaid out to universal coverage. The expenditures would still be on course to bankrupt the USA in the next couple decades. We are presently on course to financial default because medicare is not affordable. Medicare is "universal healthcare" for old Americans.

If you start the conversation with: Hey, they should just be doing what the British are doing! Well I take that to mean the person doesn't know what they are talking about and is not a serious person. Nevermind that most of these Universal Healthcare systems overseas are also totally unaffordable and driving their respective nations towards bankruptcy.

Yes, there is no free market. A free market will find the lowest-cost solution. The ever-increasing cost of healthcare, that requires an onerous system of insurance to be "affordable," is proof of that.

Can't agree with you more. Healthcare - pharma, hospitals, insurance - is one big drag on the economy. It is an artificial overhead, a burden on our finances - public, private, and household. When this overhead is seen as a job creator, employing masses of nurses, doctors, administrators, lobbyists, government officials, advertisers, handsome and beautiful sales reps, and consuming loads of media - TV, newspapers, magazines, online ads, it becomes institutionalized and pervasive. It is, just like the banking system, too big to fail.

Yet, it is only as productive as warfare - warplanes, aircraft carriers, tanks, drones, guns, bombs, bullets, soldiers, and generals. And the minting of heroes. But with nations and culture stripped. Grand solutions and saviors take the place of mindful avoidance of crisis. We are condemned and ever enmeshed in small fires growing into contagions.

We are helpless against it. We will just let nature take its natural course. And the natural course is for us to reach breaking point. Trump may try to arrest the slide. But society's ills to be fixed needed to go through a painful healing crisis. Whether the country is strong enough to survive the healing crisis remains to be seen.

Lol. Pension spending outweighs healthcare in the UK.

The UK health system works great. The main stress on it has become the 300k a year net migration from the EU. 3 million people over 10 years has stressed the NHS, I think this was a major reason for the Brexit vote due to anecdotal evidence of it being abused by people moving from Europe.

Of course the government would have to control the health care system and not just allow the oligopolies to charge whatever they want. We also have a dual system where many have private insurance through their company schemes (often only say $300-400 a year) which means if you have something severe and really need the best/fastest treatment you have that option too. Personally I don't, I find the NHS to be great.

Are you sure about that? I bet you are in fairly good health. The NHS is faced with a huge budget deficit that they are trying to close by purposeful rationing. That is how government healthcare solves their healthcare budget problems, by delay or by outright denial. I have friends in Canada who are experiencing this there as well.

We actually have nationalized healthcare in the US. It's called the Veteran's Health Administration (VHA) system and it is a mess. They have been consistently caught manipulating wait time statistics to cover up the fact that they are letting patients die due to forced rationing.

Here are a few articles on the NHS I found to be quite telling.
