Hey guys, welcome to Relatable. I hope everyone is having a wonderful day. Today we're going to talk about a very exciting subject, which is healthcare and healthcare insurance.

Isn't that fun? Aren't you so pumped to be talking about this? I am. Just kidding. I am excited to talk about it. I'm always excited to talk to you guys.

The reason that we're talking about healthcare, even though it doesn't sound like that exciting of a topic, is because it's a very popular subject right now among presidential candidates, particularly Democratic presidential candidates.

And it has been for quite a few years, because the fact of the matter is, frankly, people don't really know what healthcare coverage is, how it is distributed, how to pay for it.

And so there's a lot of confusion about this industry, and I will say that I'm not going to offer all of the clarity that a human being can give on the healthcare industry. Why? Because I myself am not an expert in all of these things.

I am coming from a very well-researched perspective to gain all of the knowledge that I possibly can, the most truthful and holistic perspective that I possibly can.

But I'm not a healthcare professional. I am not an insurance professional. And so I'm going to tell you all that I can from all of the research that I've gathered. But as always, please feel free to fact check me.

Those of you who maybe are in this industry and know all about government subsidized healthcare and what that plan is, insurance, healthcare, all of this stuff.

If you want to correct me, fact check me, send me an email. Please do so. I love to learn more from you guys. But know that I'm at least, at the very least, going into this, having done a lot of research and trying to give you the full perspective that I possibly can.

From my position. And we are going to talk about what the Democrats think about healthcare. We say healthcare. We really mean healthcare coverage. We really mean insurance. How people are going to pay for healthcare. Healthcare really isn't the topic of debate.

It's healthcare coverage. How people are covered. How people are insured. How people pay for healthcare. So that's also important. It sounds like a small difference. It's not. When people say healthcare is a human right, that's different.

Different than saying healthcare coverage is a human right. But you might hear me say healthcare sometimes just as a shortened way of saying healthcare insurance. But know that's essentially what we're talking about. So you might be in high school.

You might be in college. And if so, you're probably on your parents insurance. You can remain on your parents insurance until you're 26 years old. Maybe your parents don't want you to remain on their insurance when you get your first job. Maybe when you're 21 or 22.

But you might be on your parents insurance. So you might not know all that much about how our insurance system works or maybe you're in your 40s, 50s and 60s. And you still don't really know how healthcare coverage works. And that is all good. No matter what we're going to go through the basics together.

And we're going to talk about Medicare for all. We're going to talk about healthcare for all. We're going to talk about the current US system.

And the very good sounding promise that Bernie Sanders and other Democratic presidential candidates are offering that healthcare coverage will be free. And it'll make our lives so much better.

We are going to see if that is actually true.

So first, let us talk about what the US healthcare. Well, let me say something first. Let me say something first, because maybe you're listening to this episode on a recommendation of a friend and you are either in the middle, maybe you're even center laughs, maybe you're even far left. And if so, I welcome you.

And I just want to give you a pound on the back and maybe even a hug if you would let me for being here knowing that this is a conservative podcast. You're opening up your mind to a different side of the debate. And I really respect that no matter what your views are.

So let me just say though that neither side, okay, neither side to you, my new liberal friend wants people to die. Okay, no one wants people to die. Republicans don't hate poor people. I promise you, there's a reason why Republicans give so much in charity in general compared to their liberal friends.

There's a reason why there it is typically Christians and conservative religious people that are running charities and organizations that actually directly help the marginalized and the poor and those who don't have healthcare coverage.

It's simply a difference in what we believe the best methods are to care for the people that cannot care for themselves or who cannot afford to care for themselves.
