Would Universal Healthcare Really Work in the U.S.?
Season 4 Episode 6 | 9m 29sVideo has Closed Captions
Almost every rich, developed nation has universal healthcare, EXCEPT for the U.S. Why?
Not everyone in the U.S. can see a doctor without paying a LOT. Some people have insurance that covers most costs, but not everyone. And if you have a major accident or illness, you could end up bankrupt. Other countries cover everyone's healthcare for free, but some people think that changing the U.S.' current system would cause major problems. Should the U.S. have universal healthcare?
