American Health Care Act: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

It feels surreal to live in country where the government is trying pass bill that is legalized murder in the form of shitty healthcare.

FYI for everyone. Barry alive, Robin and Maurice dead.

I found this interesting article: https://mises.org/blog/trump-budget-real-cuts-vs-media-version-cuts

The people that voted for trump are getting hurt the most. trump is a Narcissistic ASS that cares only for himself, and they are getting what they asked for. Too bad it's hurting the ones smart enough not to have voted for that lost idiot. Thank you so very much you fucking turds.

This is the niсeist moviе i ever seе!!! I аdvisеe everybodyyу tооoo wаtсh it :) https://twitter.com/d8e738c8c9691384e/status/858503442515468288

That was a woodchuck not a beaver. Anyways yeah this bill is fucked

We are definitely a third world country in the making.

Hey! Im from Maine! We have doctors!

Robin and Maurice are the dead ones if you're wondering....or are they?

i like how john olivers' copy looks more professional than the original

AHCA should be shitty obamacare in the same way as Sharpay Evans should be nicknamed shitty Regina George

Just remember the government doesnt make its own money, it prints it yes but that makes the value of money go down they make their money from us through taxes so if anyone wants the government to do more they better be okay with paying more taxes

Why don't you cover the fact that the medical costs of our system are the problem not the laws determining who pays for it? We pay twice per capita what most other western countries do on healthcare under the Affordable Care Act and get less coverage out of it. Seems like we are all looking at the wrong problems here.

If our system cost what most European countries cost full coverage for all would be a much easier sell.

barry, born sept. 1, 1946. robin, born dec. 22, 1949, died may 20, 2012. maurice, born dec. 22, 1949, died jan. 12, 2003.

Two words my friends, two words:
Canada, eh?

Spoiler: It's Robin and Maurice who are dead, Barry is staying alive.

I don't think any of us will have to worry long when this orange cock snot is done fucking over the environment.

Morons watch this garbage

I think a good punishment for every middle class American that voted Trump/Republican is in order. Let them eat proverbial healthcare cake. Watch Trump take away healthcare, social security, livable wage, your internet privacy, meals on wheels, public school funding and everything else. Really put the hurt on the middle class who voted Trump/republican and let them feel the pain of thier vote. Maybe next time Bernie won't be such a crazy choice. Bernie 2020! give this country back to the middle class!

ritual hay declare everywhere assembly hear executive slam tie

2:59 unless you're viola davis

It PASSED in the the Republican House! So much for Dead on arrival! Oh you Americans.......

Moe Brooks of Alabama... you are a contribution to the downfall of your country. A disgrace is what you are.

Make America great again MY ASS!!!!!

As if the top 0.1% would give two shits about 100k or even the top 1% saving 30k as if they care.. So what's the actual point it's obviously something a bit more then giving the super rich money they don't care about.

Next time in Trump's America: women can't vote anymore.

-God Bless America!- God save America...

I am glad Canada has free health care. How fun America

Why do they think poor people are just lazy?

lets be honest: this is not a health care bill. this is a tax cut for the wealthy that also kills the poor, sick and elderly

This is theeee niceist movie i ever see!!! I advise everybody to waаaatch it :) https://twitter.com/b9673508732f7f9d2/status/858503442515468288

I'd like to add an update to this video:   2 of the 3 Bee Gees are in fact dead.  Maurice Gibb died in 2003 and Robin Gibb died in 2012.  Barry Gibb's still kicking it at the age of 70.

GUYS I LOOKED IT UP ONLY BARRY IS ALIVE

The Statistic at 7 minutes-ish in the video is really sad. Really very sad. Basically that says "This Income Group had 59% of its members vote against their self interest, for reasons which, quite frankly, make outside parties watching them go: ...Seriously?"

I'm a substance abuse counselor. 100% of my patients depend on state funding to pay. And now 100% of them won't get treated. On the bright side, Trumpcare is a type of population control. . death.

I'm starting to think maybe John Oliver is only here to make fun of Republicans.

Tell everybody about your revocable trust you and your wife have so you can conceal the $9 million townhouse you bought in the city dodging Taxes you piece of shit tonight

Hooray for Europe healthcare system based on solidarity and not on lowest bidder system like in USA.

sounds like we need to introduce some communism

when you need your weekly dose of lies and half truths paid for by your corporate masters, look no further than John Oliver.

To that stupid iPhone reference, I have to make this comment: I am a college graduate with 24 years' experience in my field of Public Works Administration; I hold 4 certifications in environmental regulations and municipal grants administration, and was selected as the Employee of the Year in 1998.  19 months ago, I was laid off from my position as Public Works Director of a small city in Central Florida.  Since then (probably due mostly to my age of 52), I have not been able to land a position in my field in my geographic area.  I've been working 2 jobs, one full time position as a substitute teacher, the other a part time spot selling parking spaces for a theme park.  I routinely work 45 or more days straight without a day off, and average about 55 - 60 hours per week.  Still, I can barely afford to live on the salaries I make, and it is a constant struggle to afford food and even gas to get to and from work.  I couldn't possibly afford an iPhone, and as a matter of fact, use a basic trac phone through a government program.  I have no health insurance, as neither of my jobs offers it, and I cannot even hope to afford it otherwise.  I am not alone.  Most poor people whom the far right-wingers would like to paint as lazy, irresponsible bums are in actuality hard working Americans who are working like hell just to stay alive.  The notion that we go around spending what little money we have on smart phones and other luxuries while ignoring health insurance is absurd, and a reprehensible assertion to make.  Sorry for the long post.

At some point I'm sort of expecting the U.S. to implode. Maybe Canada will take over what's left. It's like agar.io but with countries!

Insurance is the business of avoiding adverse risk in order make a profit. Knowing this if you think insurance works for healthcare you must be an idiot or very uncaring.

Dtrumpf is a backstabing president, all those who voted for him are going to be purged from this earth when they get sick....

oh yeah, a shitty version of already shitty obamacare!

5:36 how does it feel to have laid out 300 billion as how much they might cut out, only to find they instead decided to double down and cut out 1 trillion dollars from medicaid?

G! I wonder why!

While the rest of the modern world has had basic healthcare for decades America has been finger pointing there way to death.America has become a ME society not a WE.I suppose that's what happens when your media and Govt wants to keep you divided.

still waiting, in the great state of crrrAZ, still waiting for any rep to have a town hall within 300 miles of phoenix... even in an any R will do state they are running scared.

Haven't laughed this hard in a long time! Hysterical!

Meanwhile in Canada

Meanwhile in france we have an universal healthcare since almost a hundread years

Completely forgot Caillou was popular outside of Canada. I just sorta assume anything popular in Canada is only important in Canada

😢. Every time john Oliver uploads a video on a proposal, plan or anything related to trump it ends up helping him lpm john Oliver yetaaaa (don't know how to say it in English sorry)

More like the Absolute Horseshit Care Act.

Where are the millions of Americans who realize they are getting fucked over by this ?

hold that L

John Oliver ....total fucking cuck .. totally one sided . .total fucking scab on the slashed ACL of unbiased reporting.... so many of these guys are all the fucking same...the only way to keep afloat as these guys is to completely polarize, because that guarantees a certain percentage of the sheep

I keep watching the "You get that, right?" part and it always makes me laugh!

How is your health insurance so damn high. $13,500 in credits for health insurance and you likely still pay something out of pocket for that insurance? For a person in Canada making $50K in Ontario their total federal and provincial taxes is about $8400. They would get full health coverage under that tax. Even if that person spent all their net income in that year the total taxes would be $13900 amusing everything they bought was taxable.

GG america

The medical system in america seems very complex. The main problem is that its most expensive system in the world, without even giving full cover to everyone. The way you need to think is that you need to cut costs. Take away the possibility of suing your doctor, and instead take her license if she does not perform. Give everyone free cover, this will take away insurance and a lot of trades in hospitals. Make people pay for screening themselves, except for the very poorest, this will decrease overuse. If successful you should be abel to give full coverage to everyone for half of what you pay today. Good luck.

karma is a Bitch!!! lol

For the record I did google it: Barry's alive. Robin and Maurice are dead.

The US might point and laugh at us for our 'Two guys in a long boat' navy? But we successfully installed a workable UHCS back in the 1980's without having to hire billions of dollars worth of pollsters & analysts! (P.S: there are 2 guys because one holds the shotgun while the other rows!)

If Oliver weren't such a goof he would offer an alternative, say a payroll tax for hospital bills. A tax based on income level with cost controls in place so hospital systems don't get a blank check. The ruling class is controlling and steering the discussion. Fuck 'em.

Thank god I live in a civilised country where I don't go bankrupt when I get ill

So... how long until a person that is severely ill and can not afford treatment decides to commit an assassination of a senator that supports this kind of medical system?

Ironically people seem to like Pirates of the Caribbean 5. AHA not so much.

holy shit. John, "it's FUCKING important..." lol

Americans you may as well move to Canada. Less confusing.

did anyone else expect a jump scare at the end of the cowboy commercial?

Is John growing a mustache?

Anyone else want to see a skit where the Catheter Cowboy shoves a used catheter down Drumpf's throat?

And John, feel free to use that.

Now i'm really happy i'm Australian, where we have a system where we can get alot of medical things for free

ever noticed that it just looks like trump is using this bill to assist his own old company?

Obamacare wasn't great, it just made everyone get insurance and pay higher costs. ANd just because you couldn't be denied doesn't mean they can't jack up your rates. Did not address why costs were so high: INSURANCE COMPANIES. And this does nothing to address that flaw in Obamacare. Seriously this is just nuts.

Basically, the entirety of Republican politics are, "As long as you've got more money than you could ever spend in your entire life, we'll make sure you never have to spend a single cent! :D "

And in the U.K. We get free health care 👌🏻

john oliver has to use smaller words and talk slower otherwise trumpets will never understand the message behind the show

did anyone actually find out if any of the beastie boys actually died

hmmm I keep telling people this but they just don't believe that republicans are evil and only love the rich hahah

HBO should fire this asshole what a MORON. do like that democrat pig faggot said JUST DIE!

He's right, I have no interest in googling it.

So if this or anything like it passes, I'll be dead. A diabetic, living on minimal social security(<800 a month), and ESRD (end stage renal disease) on dialysis. Lose my medicade/Medicare- no dialysis for two weeks and I'm quite literally dead. Gee whiz thanks pres!

13:14

That is a really nice tie

I think the base problem all around the world causing political unequal decisions in favor of the rich is that idea of getting some that is part of human nature. And sure it's ok to have that idea but why can't we just scrap the b*llsh*it dream term democracy and either make it real or name it oligarchy as it unfortunately is?

I gave up on health insurance. $250,000 in my entire lifetime, not including premiums. I could much more easily just pay $65,000 plus tax for the things I'll likely get in my lifetime.

used to like oliver
gone liberal.

u no america so great. bullshit

with all the money in america there should be free healthcare

the part with the iphone and the healthcare sounds like the modern version of the mentioning of eating cake if the people didn't have bread ...

Does anyone know why his newer videos don't work?

Fuck you guys I live in Canada

Right?

Trump: "Nobody knew health care could be so complicated"
Czech Finance minister: "Nobody knew there could be so many kind of business."
Me: "Nobody knew politicians could be so stupid."

I'm having a great time watching America sink deep into the shit they actually voted for.
Trump's acting the exact way everyone knew he was going to, and no one tried to prevent it. Marvelous.
