Dan Bull - America Lyrics






America, America
Here's to your health
America, America

Now tell me
Why's the country that's the most wealthy also amongst the most unhealthy?
There's probably a lot of theories out there
But mine's got to be the lack of national healthcare -
A category of welfare that happens to be well fair
Whether there's wealth there or whether it's elsewhere
Now you can probably tell where this is going from my accent
Or you're thinking "Why's this British guy rapping?"
I like America, the music, the people
That's why I want to see improvements to each of them
There's problems here too, Britain's got its fair share
I'm sure you know about our questionable dental care
But there's one thing that stands better than the rest
And that's the NHS, yes
Where nobody faces rejection
Just because to treat them would be a dangerous investment
Where what the doctor prescribes is what you're given
Instead of having to wait for your insurer's decision
Where prescriptions are a reasonable price
If you need something lifelong you can even subscribe
Where if you're old or young; unemployed;
Then it's free, and the price tag becomes null and void
Where you can go home without paying one penny;
Where you've still got the option of a private company
It's unbelievable the stuff they've done for me before
Months in hospital and I've not paid a fee at all

[Hook:]
America, America
Here's to your health
America, America
Here's wishing you good health

Insurance firms are about saving dimes
Before they'll even think about saving lives
So say goodbye to your treatment if there's even
A minor loophole in your legal agreement
Is your system victim free?
There's fifty million Americans who evidently disagree
Fifty million without health insurance
That could die just because they couldn't afford it
You don't have to pay to have a fire extinguished
And you have the police, not private militias
So why should this difference apply to the systems
Providing for victims requiring assistance?
Nothing should be held higher than citizens
Putting wealth over health? I am sick of it
Insurance firms are commercial businesses -
They're not concerned what your physical fitness is
They're only interested in what the interest is;
Over here we have a different incentive
A lot of you are incensed at this
And I don't intned to be insensitive but listen
There's several myths about the terrible British
Medical system that I better dismiss, quick:
1. You can't choose who your doctor is. Not true -
There's a long list of doctors I've gone to
2. One of the most stupid lies is that
Old people are euthanised when they're due to die
Not true - if there was institutionalised
Granny killing don't you think there'd be a public outcry?
You don't have to use the NHS anyway -
There's still plenty of private firms if you want to pay
But the proof's in the pudding, come to Britain for a bit
I bet you can't find anyone who would get rid of it

[Hook]

America, America

  1. B.... B....

    dam Dan buddy, car wreck?

  2. I.... A....

    I believe that shit about old people in Britain my Nan went into hospital perfectly healthy they found something going on with her lungs I went to visit her a day later in the morning gust after breakfast she looked like shit she couldn’t breathe with out a machine she was weak couldn’t talk properly and she needed help with going to the toilet about 2 weeks later she died so she was perfectly healthy gose to hospital saying she was in pain then she dies she was 78 years old but seeing her all happy smileing then a day later seeing her in bed needing help to breathe was a shock when my parents get old am moving them somewhere

  3. J.... S....

    Dan, stick with rapping. Universal healthcare will bankrupt America. And it's so far been awful for Britain and I'm surprised you aren't against it as well.

    J.... S....

    the only reason the British people don't like the NHS at the moment is that the government is trying to privatize it and make it more like the American system. as someone who has used both the Ontario provincial healthcare system and the UK's NHS, as well as being an economics student, I strongly encourage you to either present some compelling evidence or reconsider your point

    J.... S....

    Dude, step down

  4. S.... S....

    and then we get obamacare and our taxes go up to a point some people cant pay for. taking away their right to put food on the table and be healthy.

  5. D.... B....

    Thanks for the hospital visits when i came as close to death that i've ever been

  6. D.... B....

    The best health care available is free... well it costs faith i guess for GOD knows no limitation

  7. D.... B....

    why is this British guy rapping ?

  8. J.... B....

    I love this song.. But it does need a bit insight.. Most Americans wouldent be sick all the time if we wernt being poisoned by companies and the government protecting thous companies.. If companies were penalized by the people for producing products that are poisonous such as tobacco, high fructose corn syrup, aspartame, and regulations for limiting sugars in food the american people would be a LOT healthier... Its not about "Be careful what you eat!" Because their are so many regulations of growing foods, and how many lawsuits have we seen against companies that decided "We don't have to put that in the list of indigence.. yea..." And then after they are busted they are allowed to continue business or simply merge for a new name...

    Lastly we could use with a new wave of doctors.. Get the government policies on who can practice as a doctor and open it to the private sector.. I know literally dozens of grandmas that get more effect out of herbs,spices, roots, and stretches then most doctors can get with their medical degrees...

    America isn't sick.. The government just needs to stop going out of its way..

  9. S.... ....

    those Dutch subtitles 🤣

  10. i.... ....

    8 years and only 100 dislikes says it all

  11. R.... ....

    Still the best country in the world.

  12. B.... A....

    This makes me remember Michale Moore's master piece "SICKO"

  13. i.... w....

    Ah yes! Britain the country that let a baby who was born with a deadly heart disease die! The americans said they could have save the baby w/ our advanced healthcare but the British were too stuck up and refused to save the baby! Dan Bull Is A Bloody Brainwashed British Bitch Boy who needs to stay out of America's politics!

    i.... w....

    Lol this is too funny. Just quiet down and simmer

  14. X.... ....

    I can't afford it

  15. L.... ....

    America with dutch subtitles

  16. S.... R....

    Dear Dan Bull you are my hero 💪🏻☺️😊

  17. l.... h....

    The NHS isn't very good. The American system provides better quality but admittedly the NHS does serve more people. In the end it comes down to quality vs quantity, you can't have both without unaffordabilitly. I personally prefer the American system.

    l.... h....

    leo huseyin I have to disagree with your argument. Cost wise the NHS is far better, in America some people stay in jobs they absolutely hate because it helps with their healthcare. In America the cost can cripple people financially and people die waiting to be treated. The America system cares more about the money the person has not the person and their well-being.

  18. S.... ....

    why the dutch subs

  19. M.... ....

    the reason americans are so unhealthy is due to the foods they eat and the lifestyle they have the couch potato. Go look at the amount of food Americans consume per individual

  20. B.... ....

    Think about this: you don't have free healthcare. Nobody has free fucking healthcare. it comes out of taxes.

    B.... ....

    Its not free. Everyone knows that. It is however, free at the point of use.

  21. B.... ....

    Hey, liberals, listen up. Maybe if we didn't have to make up for our pussy, weak, socialist, allies, then maybe we would have free fucking healthcare.

  22. s.... d....

    What is the source of the background video?

  23. A.... ....

    A little more than 7 years later and the president is trying to give LESS Americans health insurance. Man I used to be very patriotic back when Obama was in office, but now all I feel is fear for the future.

    A.... ....

    A13x Premiums skyrocketed under obama. But muh free shit.

    A.... ....

    Obamacare hurt a lot of people, dude.

    A.... ....

    Bilbo_Gamers I never said Obamacare was perfect. What I am saying is that with Trump's replacement for it, it will be worse.

  24. K.... J....

    dan bull what happened to douglby?

  25. h.... ....

    America is all about money grabbing

  26. T.... G....

    i know im late but this is to fucking true. the only time i been to a hospital was for shots becuase of school every time i was hurt or sick i had family or friends help because hospital is to much no matter if i needed stiches or a broken bone or even burned. we took care of are selfs.

  27. G.... v....

    The Dutch subtitles seem quite poorly made, they don't feel like they're made by a native Dutch speaking person.

  28. c.... ....

    Dear everyone who is against universal healthcare for arguments of "I don't want to spend money on other people's health": While I COULD argue against your heartless nature, I can understand it if you're not wealthy, I'd hate government mandated charity. But: 1: That's what insurance IS. If you're not claiming on your insurance, a portion of that money goes to the other people. So that argument doesn't work. 2: You'd be RICHER with universal healthcare: Insurance companies are just a middle man, that's their entire purpose and point.
    Dear everyone who is against universal healthcare for arguments of "But there are long queues for treatments and people come to America for quicker treatment": You ever notice how often this is spouted by the kind of rich asshole who only knows other rich assholes and probably spends money on surgery for a boob job or something? That's why they claim this shit. In any country with universal healthcare, you are prioritised based on NEED, not on WEALTH. If you have cancer, you're not told "yeah, but this rich cunt wants a penile enlargement or some shit, so you've got to wait before we'll save your life."
    If anyone has any other arguments against universal healthcare, whether your own, or just ones you've heard from others, please, I'm curious as to why anyone who doesn't work for an insurance company would be against it. (And yes, "works for an insurance company" includes shitty american oligarchic politicians.)

    c.... ....

    it would cost 32 trillion dollars idiot. Over a 10 year span we would have to pay 32 trillion dollars for shitty healthcare (government supplied healthcare results in longer wait times and worse care. Canada doesn't allow obese or smoking patients surgery). So that's 3.2 trillion dollars annually for the first decade. The U.S. takes in roughly 4.1 trillion annually to spend. So after paying out the medicare for all, we then only have 900k to run the fucking country.

    c.... ....

    so taxes will have to be risen, around 60% to pay and run the county. That means your whole argument of us being richer is false. The average annual cost for insurance for an individual is a little under 3k. That means while the average US income is 60k, one would pay over 30k, half their income to pay for the system.

    c.... ....

    Have you looked on how much it will cost? Plus its about volunteerism not being a prick...

  29. B.... B....

    A much better capitalistic approach to the healthcare of the american people is to allow competition between healthcare products and services. Not only will this be much more effective it won't drive up taxes or rob people of their liberty.

  30. D.... M....

    Of course universal healthcare would be great. Problem is: money. We just can't afford it.

    D.... M....

    Mister Magnanimous Seriously? you're the richest country on the planet, and you spend more on healthcare per capita than us anyway because markets are inherently inefficient.

    D.... M....

    america has the best health care on the planet.They have the best treatments invent the most products have the most doctors and least amount of waiting time for any major surgery. They just do not do preventative care due to be gluttons socially.

  31. K.... K....

    That's why you shouldn't blame a socialist if you live in the US...

  32. c.... g....

    it's funny now the NHS has gone to shit...

    c.... g....

    blame brexit

    c.... g....

    No, don't. It's just socialism doing its magic.

  33. S.... M....

    Why do we all follow these people? Presidents? Prime Ministers? Give me a fucking break!
    YOU. Yes, you, who are reading this comment, who and what told you that little pieces of green paper, completely useless, who decided that you should live in squalor if you don't have any?
    I'm not some Anarchist, I'm someone trying to wake everyone up.
    Our world is dying.
    Will you, the reader, be the one to unite us under one flag, and save our people?
    To be the first leader in a millennium, to care?

    S.... M....

    yes... yes i will...

    S.... M....

    lmao stfu

    S.... M....

    You're not an anarchist, or a communist, or an intelligent person. You're just an edgy degenerate.

  34. M.... ....

    this is a really good song dude! thumbs up!

  35. S.... P....

    I live in a country where we've had the same ruling party since our independance, with a corrupt as fuck government, but *we* have free healthcare. Sure it's low grade, but its better than nothing.

    S.... P....

    What country is it?

    S.... P....

    Malaysia.

  40. H.... ....

    Man hurts since I can't afford treatment for my broken leg right now.

    H.... ....

    That really sucks man,good luck getting better!

    H.... ....

    @Taylor Stephenson
    thanks

    H.... ....

    That's sad man I broke my arm two weeks ago didn't even have to think about paying for it the treatment, just went straight to the hospital and got it seen to.

  41. S.... T....

    If you have aspergers syndrome you can't get health insurance in America? wth, why?

    S.... T....

    Nixon tried to implement universal healthcare during his term of presidency, the democrats blocked it

    S.... T....

    @TryZar3pic fair enough that makes sense

    S.... T....

    coz insurance aim is not to serve polici holders but owners/shareholders. Driving motivation isn't to provide healthcare/pai out on polici but to extract revenue from suckers to turn into fat bonuses and dividends.

    S.... T....

    @kuriousitykat This is very true.

  42. S.... ....

    We get stronger each day we in a progress of making a puslse cannon

  43. V.... F....

    omfg the subtitless are dutch. YES

  44. K.... N....

    I would honestly be prepared to go to prison defending the nhs

  45. N.... R....

    Time to the R - party to take a hike.

  46. s.... d....

    Omg it not free your stupid if u Think it is. Tell me how much is tax over there. And I hate to tell you this but America has some of the best hospitals in the world. And how long does it take to get seen by a doctor in the emergency room in Canada it takes five hours to be checked for a broken arm you might think Its not a big deal but breaking a bone can lead to internal bleeding and sometime death.

    s.... d....

    No one will take you seriously if you include "omg" and misspell "you".

    s.... d....

    Ah yes. Because the medical agreement is fair in many ways for the people getting the money. However, if you were to research the facts instead of talking about a broken arm you'd know this.. Argument ended. Took the internet a while.

    s.... d....

    Of course it's payed for, however... there is a huge difference. Private institutions has a goal you know, and that is to create profit for their owners. Public services on the other hand, doesn't have to make a profit, thus more of the money goes directly into paying for doctors, nurses, medical equipment and medication.

    There is no owner on top skimming the cream, or finding ways to exploit their employees in order to earn even more money. Public health care in Norway, our maximum tax is 40%, and federal tax in the US varies according to wikipedia from 10% to 39.6% in 2013.

    So yeah, tell me again about how great american hospitals is, would you? Why then, is countries far poorer then you higher up on public health statistics? I wonder...

    s.... d....

    stfu stupid

    s.... d....

    Even in the US I've spent hours in the ER with an infant (who when they finally saw her life flighted her to a specialist). Meanwhile, there was a guy with a broken arm, another who had cut off half his hand. It was an interesting wait.

  47. C.... A....

    If we vote Bernie Sanders we could get this!

    C.... A....

    Christian Anderson if you vote Bernie Sanders you'll be in more debt

    C.... A....

    @Joseph Stalin Ironic Stalin is asking this. And the military protects everyone regardless. Healthcare for all makes everyones healthcare more expensive and worse

    C.... A....

    @Joseph Stalin And the SU collapsed and had revolts against their idiotic communist government. Communism has failed every time its been practiced

    C.... A....

    @John Stevens

    It fell like all empires fall when they run out of good leaders and it all turned to shit. The people did not revolt due to their taxes being spent on health. As for communism failing, nearly all the major economies have tried to crush any country that dared try, and even after that China still is the most powerful country on the planet.

    C.... A....

    But we will also be like Venezuela.

  48. R.... G....

    Great song man. Also very true. American health care is a giant scam. I live here and I'm ashamed at how little the health care system in the US values human life. They don't really care if people get treatment or get better, as long as they make money. Obama care isn't any better. The idea of nation health care is a great idea, just seems they don't want to copy a system that works. Mostly because insurance companies would lose money.

  49. D.... P....

    What's with captions???

  50. P.... ....

    Hey at least Canada has free healthcare called Medical care program or Medicare so I could literally go outside right now jump out of a tree get to broken legs and not have to pay a dime and since I have a lot of family I could just stay with them and go medical leave and not have to worry about losing my job. TEAM CANADA + BRITAN!!!!!!

    P.... ....

    england has a shit healthcare compared to the better countryes aka just finland denmark

    P.... ....

    +claus The UK and France have the best healthcare in the world you fucking dumbass.

    @Kwittycat D. fucking hell. You're just a massive racist then, aren't you?

    Have you ever been to Sweden?

    A.... L....

    @Gregor Faulds How was I being racist, all I'm saying is that the massive influx of immigrants into Sweden has made it become the rape capitol of the western world https://www.unodc.org/documents/data-and-analysis/Crime-statistics/International_Statistics_on_Crime_and_Justice.pdf with ~60 rapes per 100,000 people

    why the Dutch text?

    C.... D....

    +ByssGamingNL Its a Dutch Documentary

    C.... D....

    Why would a Dutch documentary need Dutch subtitles? :)

    C.... D....

    for some reason dutch documentaries actually have dutch subtitles {idk why '-' ..probably not all but the once I've seen have Subs}

  56. C.... o....

    I love my country...the fact so many people want to complain about how awful our country is...its disgraceful.If you don't like it then leave no one can stop you. Go to Russia or how about you go over to Pakistan?I heard its preety nice this time of year -.-

    C.... o....

    +Cambam Slam Do you like having to pay for health care?

    C.... o....

    @BCB Films Not necessarily all Im saying is if our country sucks so bad go live in some communist or terrorist country that way you don't have to complain.

    C.... o....

    +Cambam Slam it feels like America is becoming so right wing that they are getting very close to a nazi like regime, especially since Donald trump is around. Also, communism as an ideology is ok but the anyone who has tried it just messed it up. But being so right wing is just slowly destroying your country, we all need to be in the middle so the rich don't get richer and the poor don't become poorer.

    C.... o....

    Well I cant argue on the Donald Trump thing but I mean...you might as well make the best of a bad situation right?

    C.... o....

    I suppose

  57. C.... ....

    Why are the subtitles in Dutch? It kind of surprised me (I don't see it very often) Is it a Dutch documentary?

    C.... ....

    waarschijnlijk (if youre english, I said "probably"

    C.... ....

    +Crick1952 if I'm not mistaken the scenes are from michael moore's "sicko" which was only available with dutch subs on YT (at least I couldn't find other versions when i watched it) back in the days. might be wrong tho

  61. C.... E....

    What is the list at the end based on?

  62. C.... m....

    I don't believe in bring forced to pay for universal heath care nothing is free

    C.... m....

    @David Eason "Republican" is an ambiguous term. Republicanism in Ireland means someone who favours a united Ireland. Republicanism in Britian means the anti-monarchist movement. Republicanism in the United States means an adherent of the Republican Party. Do you mean a neo-con? In any case, taxes in European counties are paid through the items you purchase. The value added tax (VAT), charged at 20% on supplies of goods and services. It is therefore a tax on consumer expenditure. Also, you're obligated to pay taxes regardless, so like I said, why not invest in universal and social healthcare? Maybe if the United States cut their ridiculously high military budget, there would be enough left over for healthcare.

    C.... m....

    @Seán Quinn I believe the governments sole purpose is pay the military pave the roads and pay for schools everything else is the states job

    C.... m....

    @David Eason Not every country is like the United States. Many are simply too small or underpopulated to have separate administrative districts. States are subordinate to the government. The health service is not a private industry, it is part of the government.

    C.... m....

    +David Eason "State" can refer to the individual states or the entire country... and government can be either Federal or State/Provincial... or Municipal... and the governments number one purpose and function is to create laws...

    C.... m....

    +David Eason Freedom is free

  63. m.... w....

    I am living and from the USA, I agree with what dan is saying, just wish it was different here and more caring/beneficial like it is in the UK

    same experience here as a Belgian

  65. A.... W....

    What happened to these kinds of songs Dan? Now you rap about how "tanks are big" - oops, sorry, how "big are tanks", and how gamers somehow own the planet. I am just thinking what happened to all the songs about change and the right to free speech? You said yourself one time that you would forever continue doing that, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

    A.... W....

    +Andy Wilderness See Dan's latest video about the fine bros.

  66. B.... P....

    the reason the country is like this is because money greedy assholes that run the country and they try to keep it that way so the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

  67. D.... P....

    America is infected with Social Darwinism, meaning in a social and cultural stand point, the poorest, the weakest, the slowest, are killed (in a figurative sense of course). When someone can't afford to save their own life, then that system of "lets kill another parasite" sets in. This obviously needs to be changed, just wanted to state the reasoning behind our utterly shite system.

    D.... P....

    +Drama Pirate (Pirates) Are you suggesting Communism?

    D.... P....

    @Americansoutheasterner17 No, a different opinion of government and suggesting a change, does not mean I am thinking of the opposite of the system

    D.... P....

    You are suggesting Communism. This is what European countries do, and it's literally Communism.

    D.... P....

    If that's Communism, what's wrong with it, other than the word apparently instantly triples about half of America's pulses

    D.... P....

    @Patrick Beart its socialism more than communism. Both are bad and a lot of people in England would agree because while we go out to work hard and pay taxes we get treated the same as drug addicts and benefit scroungers when we go to a&e which is a bit bs if ya think about it

  68. J.... ....

    Dan man write more political raps. I think your an amazing artist

  69. A.... j....

    I am honestly really happy with the way Dan presents this, it's modest yet you can understand the serious undertone. It really points out some serious issues with American health care. The song was amazing and I even downloaded it on spotify. Keep up the good work Dan!

  70. i.... ....

    where did you get these dutch vid frags from lol

  71. T.... F....

    so... not only do you have to pay for insurance to cover healthcare, but insurance companies probably won't cover you anyway? then what's the point in health insurance? they won't even cover cancer! (probably because they wouldn't commit fratricide.)

    It's weird America known as the land of the free is one of the least free democratic countries in the world.

    A.... S....

    When you just make a statement like that but don't give examples, it's hard to take you seriously and not assume your just trying to get attention.

    A.... S....

    England has free speech which is limited. XD by that it is illegal to be racist make had speech etc which i agree with

    A.... S....

    it's the only free country

    A.... S....

    sadly its not that strange. i have a friend who was all on board for removing net-neutrality. saying that its for his good. yet now he is complaining non stop about his net and has payed for better net. Americans are stupid. thats the sad truth. they repeat the same things they are told never looking at who is saying it or what is being said. "we are the land of the free" even thou the gov and at any moment for any reason declre you a terrorist and have their way with you. "we don't need net neutrality in the greatest country on earth" "why is my net slow sudenly?" I feel bad for them.

    A.... S....

    US started the trend of revolts for freedom. However countries with a lack of freedom are those with a lack of free speech, Such as Britain where they arrest people for their opinions

    What dan bull says in this is true

  74. F.... H....

    As an American that can't afford healthcare, you nailed it.

    F.... H....

    @Fanari Harrensen move to europe your life will be WAY better after that and hey free healcare and our coins are usefull WAAAAAAAAAAAT

  75. K.... ....

    All these butthurt americans

  76. A.... B....

    Man listening to the songs about America just remindes me how fucked up it is

  77. M.... ....

    At times such as these, where privatisation of the NHS seems imminent songs like this one could not be more relevant. I've never been overly patriotic, aiming more for being proud of our species but when I first watched this five years ago I felt genuinely proud of Britain. And now we threaten to lose the pride of our country.

    M.... ....

    Indeed, sadly people are blind to it these days, since they won't actually take away the NHS, just make it so shit and inefficient that we'll practically be begging them to take it away.

    M.... ....

    We have been saying that for years and it’s never happened with any government involved. There’s a mutual respect for the nhs across all parties. And sometimes privatisation is the only way it can survive.

  78. T.... M....

    holy shit, first comment on a 4 year old vid!

  79. T.... O....

    can't like it because you're trolling on america. The best country in the world.

    T.... O....

    @gtafan110010 Only stupid Americans think that the America is the best country in the word. The smart ones think the USA is the best country in the world, and they're still wrong.

    T.... O....

    +GingerBagels *Cough* No one's the best *Cough*

    It's because all the diseases coming and or the greedy rich snobs.

    Americans, you need to something about this... you THE PEOPLE need to stand for free healthcare after all "You're American, act like it!" - From a Trans Atlantic cousin :)

  83. C.... ....

    This is beautiful

    Somebody not just complaining about America but pointing out things that need to be changed

  84. K.... ....

    This and John Lennon are some of my favourite songs on the 'Face' album

  85. U.... W....

    The issue with the NHS is that other people have to pay for it. In America, we believe in (or used to believe in) small government, and the lowest taxes possible for the government to do what it has to. Therefore we need to seriously either get rid of other welfare or for the government to make money other than taxes if they want nationalized healthcare. We shouldn't have to pay for some one else's cancer anyway !

    U.... W....

    Most rich people don't get there by hard work, they are people born into wealth that managed to then went on to form a company of some sort and capitalism supports this very well. You might bring out Bill Gates as someone who worked hard and got succesfull and to an extent that's true. In reality though he was a middle class citizen that was good at computers and built and OS that by luck catched on.

    I still don't get you however, are you seriously supporting a system where the rich people sit there on their pile of money while people are starving? We have tons of rich people in europe, in fact most people are above the middle class paygrade. Most people work, and get paid a good amount to do so. They pay their taxes (in norway around 40-50%) and the people who might have a disability or is unable to work (my step father being one of them, he damaged his back so severely building docks that he can't work).

    If you honestly believe that the road out of poverty is work, you're stupid. Most hardworking citizen under the average paygrade will never get out of it. I'm guessing you're not a super rich person who got there trough hard work, in fact I guess you are a middle class citizen. Why would you not want equality trough something like free healthcare when the only thing it would do it prevent people from dying?

    U.... W....

    The only argument you have against things like healthcare is that less people would become rich, and that the rich would become less rich (even though in most countries with healthcare and other state powered things like that they would have just the same amount of tax as everyone else).

    U.... W....

    @Zquirrelthing No, the argument is that Universal healthcare, while it sounds good, costs $$MONEY$$. That money has to come from somewhere. So, the government just Taxes it out of people who HAVE money, in order to pay for care of people who don't.

    The issue is that this over taxation hurts economic growth. When the government is socialistic, the tax rates go up, so people have less to spend, and companies have less to make their products/services.

    It's not fair at all for the state to take from the Rich/Middle class, to pay for the poor. This is a forced redistribution of wealth.

    Now, the only way universal healthcare could happen, but not lead to over taxation, is for the government to cut spending in other areas, lower the tax rates, and stimulate economic growth so it actually HAS the money to pay for it, without Beating it out of the people.

    Capitalism isn't about helping "Greedy" rich people. It's about creating a free market, so that ALL can do better.

    I don't get why Socialists think that Just because someone is successful means that they MUST fork most of it over to the state, that's called ROBBERY.

    U.... W....

    Capitalism might not officially be about helping the rich people but that's what it has become. And like I said, the money comes from everyone. Even the poor people has to pay just as much tax as the rich. You're still going on about how countries with universal healthcare is the devil and steals from the rich people. You're ignorant.

    Honestly, this argument isn't going anywhere so I'll just leave it at that.

    U.... W....

    @Zquirrelthing Actually, the Fake ass Capitalism being practiced today is really bad.

    True Capitalism doesn't help the Rich, it allows them to be successful. It allows ALL to be successful.

    Your argument is that we need the government to Keep us in check. To regulate business, and to take 2/3's of the Rich's income, therefore discouraging people from becoming successful.

    Universal Healthcare IS NOT the devil ! The issue is how, and where the money comes from to pay for it. It is simply too much of a taxpayer burden if you are a "High Taxes" country.
    However, There are issues with universal health care, depending on how it is carried out.

  86. U.... W....

    These Liberals love to hate america. They attack people who say america's the best ! Even if it's their own country ! We're screwed if we have a generation of Marxist traitors coming up to take the reins.

  87. s.... w....

    I'm an American I'm not mad about this I like Dan he great but I can't tell was he making fun of america

    s.... w....

    @stumpythe wabermalon He's not making fun of America, he's trying to educate the ignorant.

  88. J.... D....

    He's right. Health care should be about the peoples benefit, rather than corporate profit, Sadly, our repube party doesn't see it that way.

  89. T.... F....

    The USA is the most powerful and strongest country in the world, we have the most destructive and effective military in all of human history. Like the steroid pumping body builder we are the biggest in the gym, but at the cost of health.

    T.... F....

    @Anon Tro whoa whoa whoa
    Why the hell is your comment so long just cut it down a bit thanks and really a couple hydrogen bombs and bye bye britan. OK that maybe is true but we have European allies to back us up. Germany is the world's economic superpower. Also America over the past few years have been pissing people off. In Russia the distaste for America is just through the roof. North Korea have a huge army( it is in the top ten largest I think look it up please correct me if I'm wrong but let's just go with it

    T.... F....

    Then you have Isis and people who have already waged war on the west but can't quite reach. Next of all America did not be the first to fly. The first to fly powered. This means oh wait yeah that flight was less than 30 feet so it is I almost as short as your history of girlfriends. Lastly if America keep acting god like they are now it pisses a lot of people off. Someday their gonna go with the big leagues like china and then ass whopping time because the most military spending is American but it is quality if quantity and I vouch for china

    T.... F....

    America still invented flight, whether or not it was powered, that was the point. The fact you had to say it was "almost as short as your history of girlfriends" is just petty. It honestly dismisses half of your argument, because it sounds like you're A) salty B) 12 or C) Both

    T.... F....

    T.... F....

    That's because we have to carry our pussy allies. Also, healthcare comes out of taxes, its not free.

  90. s.... ....

    besides, the dude has been dissing anything he feels is corrupt in any form, and we've all been having fun, but now, oh now, he's gone too far. Keep speaking the truth Dan Bull. A country can be great and still have flaws. It doesn't mean you just go with the crowd and just accept the flaws just because. If you truly love something, and not the superficial love people display you will try to change it for the better 

  91. s.... ....

    typical. everyone misses the part where he said he loved America. And hone in on the criticisms. That's why one can never say the truth anymore, because people are either too afraid of others who will jump down their throats or take offense. I love the country but what one loves, one corrects.

  92. S.... J....

    We are unhealthy because of our poor diets and lack of exercise. I have family in Canada and they have many friends who have died because of how long it takes to get treated up there so you can keep your monopolization of health care. I'm not saying we don't have issues with the outrageous cost of our healthcare but taking away competition only leads to worse care and a stagnation of innovation within the healthcare industry. There was recently a huge scandal with our veteran's government healthcare and they only had to treat a fraction of our citizens. Handing over the treatment of over 300 million people to that same government seems like a horrible idea.

  93. t.... ....

    I just don't get why he made this song.

    t.... ....

    Because he likes America and he wants too see improvements.

    @PewPewPuffin Good luck with that Dan.

  94. P.... S....

    Let's face it; insurance companies don't give two shits wether you live or die.

  95. B.... G....

    I'm an American, and I agree. A better system is needed. And the list you presented sickened me. Among those I saw that hurt the most was Autism, and Cancer. Those are afflictions that require medical care, and if they can't afford it, and are denied healthcare because their to much of a liability, than there is something wrong with our system.

    B.... G....

    @Benjamin Gottsch I know you mean well, but please don't compare autism to cancer like that.

    B.... G....

    Silas Dam I'm 3 years late but you know he wasn't comparing the two, Right?

  96. W.... ....

    I'm happy to see Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome was on the list at 3:23.

  97. W.... ....

    I'm really sick of America's health situation.  Obama care made it somewhat better but I still have issues getting my much needed medication.  'm on Ivabradine which isn't FDA approved yet so I have to order it from a pharmacy in Canada and wait 2 months for it to ship from Singapore.  By the time I get it I've been out for about a 2 weeks to month because I only get 100 pills per box.  I know people who get it in the UK and they can just go to there local pharmacy and get it.  I'm also sick of doctors who know nothing about anything other than colds and the flu.

  98. L.... ....

    If there's one thing we can all agree on is that there's a lot of money grabbing dicks in congress....

  99. J.... S....

    I'm definitely moving to Japan. It seems much more fun there. Its not really nice here in America. Jus sayin.

    @LootFragg What the hell? 1 I'm not eleven. 2 I'm not fucking Handicapped and 3 he was the one who started cursing calling me a bitch. So don't go judging me just because I think differently than you. Good day.
