Video Description:
Back before he ran for president, Donald Trump appeared on the David Letterman show and criticized U.S. healthcare, highlighting how countries like Scotland and other European nations provide high-quality care at a much reduced cost. Jimmy shares this video in which Trump adds that he could provide Americans with a much better, cheaper system (without giving much in the way of specifics).
Jimmy and guest Nick Cruse of Revolutionary Blackout Network wonder what happened to this Trump before they launch into a scathing critique of the U.S. healthcare system that frequently produces worse outcomes at a higher cost.
They argue that a Medicare for All type system would cut costs in half, provide better service, and eliminate the bloated profits of insurance companies and Big Pharma. Jimmy emphasized that universal healthcare is pro-family and can appeal to conservatives because it prevents families from going into debt for medical care. He concludes by pointing out how Americans have been misled into thinking private insurance is superior, while other countries demonstrate that government-managed healthcare is more efficient and equitable.
