Comedian John Oliver Makes Case for Medicare for All, Debunks Right-Wing Talking Points

"You can get fucked by taking an ambulance, you can get fucked by going to the wrong hospital, or you can get fucked by the going to the right hospital and getting the wrong surgeon," Oliver said of the current private insurance system. "The American healthcare system gives you so many choices as to how you want to get fucked. Under Medicare for All, that scenario would not happen."

The US healthcare system is ranked 37th.
