Love it!  It's even more sadistic because when they deny your claim, they never do it to your face.  They mail you and then they hire low-level customer service reps to take your distressed call.  The ultimate claim deniers don't even have the balls to say it to your face.

Simultaneously hilarious, horrifying, and completely on point.

@spacepiratecaptainrush1237

Is murder bad?  yes.  Could the negligence US health insurance system be described at a form of murder?  also yes.

@Supremelilbear

If they are OK with me dying, how can I have any sympathy for them?

@howtoappearincompletely9739

I'm not American, but I readily appreciate the sense of injustice and righteous anger you all must feel.

@kimyoonmisurnamefirst7061

But also health insurance companies helped jack the prices of health care so they have a reason to exist... which is next level.

We need Medicare-For-All/a universal healthcare system in The United States! What's more "pro-life" then ensuring everyone living here has guaranteed affordable healthcare regardless of their job? If we all have access to healthcare, we would have the "freedom" to live long lives without having to worry about medical bankruptcies. Taxes will go up, but overall medical bills will go down. If some of us need additional healthcare, then we have the "choice" to acquire private insurance. If every other developed country (Canada, Germany, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Netherlands, Switzerland, Israel, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, & New Zealand) can implement this system & save money, then why can't The United States do the same to help "Make America Great Again" for everyone when it comes to healthcare? Finally, if people in The United States die from a lack of access to affordable health insurance then we are failing our country's promise of defending "life, liberty, & the pursuit of happiness" for its citizens as well as "promoting the general welfare" of everyone living here.

Hi Steve. I'm writing here because I know you often do read the comments on your videos. I just want to say I've always enjoyed your content. In particular I subscribe for your star trek videos, but I've always enjoyed all your work, even when we disagree. 

Id like to tell you I've particularly enjoyed your latest videos satirizing Healthcare, this one included. I say I'd "like" because truthfully I don't know if that's the word.

I hate Healthcare. I hate insurance companies. I hate the truth of this video. I would like to say this video made me laugh.

But it didn't. It made me cry.

I pray every day that neither myself, my wife, nor my children ever have to endure some sort of health issue. 

But even sitting here, in good health and with healthy loved ones, just imagining those going through this is heartbreaking. 

Thank you for this video. I can't say I enjoyed it. I don't know what I feel. 

 But I feel. Thank you, Steve.

If they condemn us to die, we should return the favor.  Free Luigi, make Wario!

I'm not proud of my country for a lot of reasons, we have a lot that needs improving, but when I had appendicitis, I was very glad to be Canadian.

@casey6556

Unrealistic; no way the health insurance guy is even opening up the claim before the first denial

@RaptieFeathers

In that first segment, you got not only the diction down, but the vocabulary and sentence structure. Like... Wow. <3

@jennifergauthier4751

My sister was born in 73 with a congenital heart condition.  Surgery at 6 days old. Then again at 7 years.  ALL paid for by insurance.  Now, same situation,  parents would be in debt til their own death.

@dontcare3430

And your money lasts until the end of the fiscal year, then it has to disappear, for some reason, instead of banking it from year to year.
Hmmmmmm.

"You're responsible for what happens next." Careful, in some states that could get you arrested for terrorism.

@scorinth

That last line. 👌

@cmrsnowflake

It's a testament to Steve's talent as an old timey salesman that even knowing it would end the first half was almost persuasive.

@BS-vx8dg

Thirty seconds in I am just loving the look and sound of this video.

@tessaninetails8065

Awesome job, Steve.

Michael Moore released his movie (SICKO) about Healthcare in the US for free on YouTube. Sadly still very much relevant today

I’ve probably said this multiple times in your comment sections, but the NHS saved my life FOR FREE. I was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2015, and had it cut out a month later. It was stage two and growing very close to some lymph nodes (had it spread there it would have been stage 3 and I would have needed chemo to). I’ve been cancer free for nearly a decade.

I used to live in the US and was often uninsured. When I did have insurance I usually couldn’t afford to go to the doctor because of the copays so ignored the symptoms of a chronic illness I have that likely led to the cancer developing. The US system literally made me mortally ill.

Also when I lived in the US the retina in my left eye spontaneously decided to try to detach (incredibly scary). I didn’t have insurance at the time but the ophthalmologist I saw took pity on me and slashed the cost of the examination to something I could pay (which was less than a typical copay ON insurance).

American healthcare is not fit for purpose. You need universal healthcare. People in every country that have it do not want to give it up, and that should tell you everything you need to know. The healthcare insurance industry can die in a fire.
