is a trigger warning what, why is it called a trigger warning if you're not going to be triggered vent like a cold trigger. it might upset some people was young. and so those are those there's, there's nothing that's my whole point. there is nothing wrong with you being upset by ideas. those are ideas are not going to harm you. and sheila, you're telling me you're saying that lacy and stuff don't handle you being serious right now? i'm saying that they study also your, your premium section gives the world are challenged. that's well, you regular like charlie lives in. they need, but it's not, it's high. they might need. this was again, you wanna speak, john john, you know, the, me, the hungry. i'm willing to let me get back to you on this horrible it was, give me a chance to speak as well, and had a bit more intellectual debate. this on bottom line is great. no votes written in

the time will challenge and that's the purpose vouch, that's the purpose of literature. no one's got the right not to be offended. it's absolutely ridiculous. we're talking about some of the greatest works of literature here. oh i tell you, well what are we still haven't trigger warnings on the bible or the koran moreno? why i know what we do. okay, great. well, why not have a trigger warning on that too? i don't care. it's not only out of time. okay. i don't really, we do have about a minute or so i just want to get back to each one of you look 32nd summary of your point in the solver. if i can begin with you, please re season is not a challenge. it's not something that you have to entertain, or it's not a necessity. if somebody puts a trick of warning on something or you don't like it is not for you to skip over it, it's not a big deal. garrath. the, the study of texts that may contain racism and sexism,

and other things. the study of those text is not the same as racism. and you have to be able to draw a line between reading about racist ideas and thinking that that is racism direct to that you have to get yourself out of it and be a grown up. and john, what's your take on the story? i agree, one step away from burning books and we know that leads to listen. literature is there. you can read a book, decide you like after a few pages decided don't like it after reading the whole, but whatever you want. but it should all be there or written as it was written, when nobody censoring it, we don't need that. or john on gara, thanks so much all for your time. it's been a great the by could talk to you for a while long run this. appreciate a motive issue, but we'll hope see soon again, and we can maybe discuss further thanks so much. thank you. ok. all right that, so we have time for this. our next route for staying with us here on all the international. see when back in half an hour with more news updates soon again,

that a with a jet you shaken with? well, i'm going to put a line prepared to wait. don't don't know how to get my check. i haven't been able to get them checked since 1982. they have been waiting patiently for hours. i got here that 40. okay. oh my huh.

um. have driven hundreds of miles to get here. with the most. i spent the night in their cars. oh, really to be oh, we need to be paid. i. when i say you want that to me, show me your ticket. you know? yeah, sorry. your with all are desperately waiting for free medical treatment. i can, i help you with how he is 65 with for your eyes.

for these american families are at homeless. most of them are middle class, and yet they have no choice but to come to this clinic. with jap, allison is 26. this uninsured mother has just given birth. i'm going to have that jack, who's 4 days and then junior here, my 4 year old i don't feel great that i have a 4 day old baby out in. busy i mean there's so technically flu season and there's the germs everywhere. but i mean, we had to be here. so i had to take him with me. i had any glasses sent high school . he graduated like 10 years ago. so i've just been wearing the same payer

so i definitely knew i had to come to get some new ones today and where it's free and it's same day i can leave when glad it's frustrating. it really is frustrating that there's just nowhere else to go to. actually my, her, i less got a 2 to can't say that at all. like allison 28000000 people in the united states live without health insurance. a originally created to deliver medical aid and developing countries. this mobile clinic provider now operates mainly in the united states. a.

these volunteers give their time every weekend for holding 100 clinics a year. ah, in the world's largest economy. decent medical care is a luxury. most americans simply can't afford. i. every country pretty nearly in europe in this matter of medical care for austin aah! with obamacare is a complete and total disaster ah, united states medicine has become a, you're standing there at that point. you given the money or you die. and, and you,

given me, it is not a fair system. us health care system is lethal. it is killing people. do what no parents should have to deal with that. hold your child. if they die a needless death. ah, human a room. i get up every morning and do some kind of exercise i, i ran,

i ride my bike. not working out to lose weight. it's because i have to just by getting outside and getting my heart pumping and making it strong. so that would prolong my life for years. a normal blood sugar would be about $100.00. my blood sugar is $4.00 oh $5.00. which is extremely high. so yeah, i mean i need to take insulin to try to bring it down. insulin isn't essential to life just like water and just like air, it's life or death. if i don't have insulin, i would die within

a few days. probably. it doesn't take long. karen is 30 and it's been living with diabetes since she was 12 years old, or medication, which would be covered by the state in europe is very expensive in the united states. when i go down to the pharmacy and they say, oh, what's going to be a $1000.00? i'm? i'm used to hearing that, so i just leave without the insulin. my solution right now is just to ration to a dangerous degree. i know that i need to start doing an ah, unlike in europe, there is no universal health insurance in the united states. the only americans to benefit from a limited public healthcare system are the very poorest members of society, any over 60 fives. every one else is either covered by their employers who pay most of the cost of health insurance, or they have to take out an individual health insurance plan like karen and her

husband, eric some point of the site right now to look at the plans for next year okay. although they both work, they can barely afford the costly insurance premiums. oh, so for me, the premium is $695.00 and down them now to be covered in the united states. you must 1st pay a monthly premium. these are very high and the average premium for a family of 4 is $15000.00 a year. and on top of this premium, you pay a deductible the set amount paid each year for healthcare before a plan starts to share the cost darren's deductible is nearly $8000.00.

after meeting the deductible, you pay a percentage of medical expenses. the insurer pays the rest. this is known as co insurance on average. policyholders pay 20 percent. mm hm. it doesn't cover insulin. now. karen's health insurance plan covers very few medical services. ah, the things that are super important for me, they don't cover like and being able to get insulin or going, you know, to have my eyes checked, which diabetics really need to do. so it's almost useless until we reach $15000.00 and even then they might not pay for certain medications. we're spending almost half our income just on insurance. that doesn't really cover anything. so it's aggravating. it's stressful to say the least. so we're buying this plan just in

case something terrible happens. so i would need to go to the hospital. i get hungry. oh. the young couple can't afford to set up, hold 9 years after their wedding. they're still living with karen's mother. i mean i oh, yeah, yeah, honey mustard. ah, in the united states you have to be rich to be able to afford enzyme insulin. is luxury good for sure? my insurance company controls a lot of what i do and what i get this man is a former health insurance company executives, a whistleblower, and reformed insurance, propagandist mm. after 20 years of loyal service,

revolted by the brutality of america's health system. wendell potter cracked and decided to expose the cynicism of his industry. my job, along with everyone else who worked for the company, was primarily to make our shareholders richer than they were. now the most important people to these big companies and it's not taking care of people. if you're denying payment for someone's care, your make life and death decisions and determine who gets to live and who dies to me that's, that's getting away with murder ah profit at the expense of life. the system that benefits a minority. not the majority of americans. ah,

the us health care system we and about $3.00 trillion dollars a year on it. people like to say that that's about the size of the g, d. p of france just for health care, which is a little bit crazy, despite having the most expensive health care system in the world. we have poor life expectancy. we have higher infant mortality. we have more deaths from readable causes. so americans are suffering every day from it. oh, how did this system come about with join me every thursday on the alex salmon? sure. i'll be speaking to guess with the world politics. sport. business. i'm sure business. i'll see you then

o time of war as in time of peace. in 1945, after the 2nd world war, europe adopted the principles of the welfare state. france introduced its social security system. britain founded the n h s. inspired by this model, democratic u. s. president harry truman proposed a universal national health insurance program. harry truman couldn't do it because the american medical association in particular, was very opposed to creating a system like most european countries had. and they began using the term socialized medicine, keep in mind this was during the early part of the cold war when there was a great fear in this country of communism. in the early 19 sixties. now back in power, the democrats again tried to introduce

a european style system. with this plan to met with resistance, a massive publicity campaign was launched to warn the american people of the dangers of socialized medicine. the propaganda paid off and the democrats bill failed to pass. in 1965, they got their revenge. president lyndon b johnson signed into law to public health insurance programs, medicaid for low income families, and people with disabilities and medicare for the over 65 ah,

witnessing 1st hand, the despair of americans who cannot afford treatment, prompted the former insurance executive wendell potter to change his life, ah, 10 years ago on his way to visit his parents, he ran into a mobile clinic close to where he grew up. ah, it's broke my heart to see what was happening to people who are just completely out of the lot. they have no means of getting the care health care that they need if these people don't count i think that's a big reason why i was so affected by the that remote area medical clinic. i had almost somehow walked into a refugee camp. i very possibly could have been one of those people

who a 2008. he became a whistleblower and spoke out in the press against the health insurance industry's expletive practices. mister chairman, thank you for the opportunity to be here this afternoon of a special respect. a year later he testified before the u. s. congress doing something, i think very courageous and very, very brave. i saw how they confuse customers and dumped the sick. so all they so also they can satisfy their wall street investors. he wages his campaign in washington, the heart of power. i know how the game works because i was a part of it on the other side. now the change team said we're working to try to

make this a better system. i like it a lot better, much better. i sleep better at night to achieve his objectives. he's joined forces with other advocates of health insurance for all. for together they help to make it the number one issue in the 2020 presidential elections. i think number one, it get that issue kind of going in people's mind in the talk about that is code the bottom line. healthcare has always been a divisive issue. the splitting democrats and republicans, you guys have really nice idea, boot camp for republic. us say, well, let's leave it to the free market and democrats, they will, that's not good enough, but you've got to also somehow break through the noise and the opposition that the other side is creating. i'm and i used to mean my old job in charge of propaganda.

and it's, it's extraordinarily successful. propaganda is the weapon of choice. while working for an insurance company. wendell potter was involved in a landmark campaign. the year was $992.00. bill clinton had just been elected president a year later, he asked his wife hillary to draft a universal health care bill. after we saw what the clintons were doing, that we would do what we could to keep it from ever passing. so i spent a lot of time in washington working to create this propaganda campaign is to get people to fear change and make them feel uncertain about what's being proposed and to death of those who are proposing it. dis, campaign sabotaged bill clinton's reformed film.

one man learned from this barack obama elected president of the united states in 2008. he made health care reform a priority. it has now been nearly a century. nearly every president and congress, whether democrat or republican has attempted to meet this challenge in some way, and that is the issue of halter. i am not the 1st president to take up this cause, but i am determined to be the last old on the new he would be attacked from all sides to succeed. he decided to negotiate with the 3 powerful players in the healthcare system. the insurance companies, hospitals, and drug companies all were given a seat at the table, not only a seat, they were given the responsibility of actually writing big parts of the legislation

. so he gave away a lot of things that were valuable. i think to him personally, in order to get something, anything done that was important, the obamacare compromise imposed 3 core principles with, with the individual mandate, every american was required to have health insurance or pay a penalty. the purpose of this measure was to increase policyholder numbers in return, the insurance companies promised to lower their rates. obamacare also expanded medicaid coverage from the poorest members of society to a new section of the population. those just above the poverty line. another positive development. no health ensure could discriminate against

individuals based on their medical history and allergy, asthma, diabetes. in the past this was used as an excuse to increase the premiums or even to deny coverage. on march 23rd, 2010, the legislation was signed into law. oh, these measures were initially met with enthusiasm. it made it better in a lot of ways that it offered, you know, 20000000 people received coverage that had not had it before. obamacare was a historic step forward for the united states. the number of americans without health insurance had not dropped as much since the 19 seventy's, but this reform was not enough. every year, 45000 uninsured americans die due to lack of access to health care. i amy layla

lost her daughter 4 years ago. ah. that whole feeling of anger, i had to find a way to let that to release it. nothing's ever going to bring back my daughter. she said mm hm. anything around here? mine's michelin, i remember saying when i 1st moved here, thinking that's so great. we're really close to a it looks like a new hospital and i was very excited about being close to hospital

little did i know what it was going to mean for my family. this building represents loss. members, it represents pain to me. ah, she came here right behind me here at this hospital, red, swollen lake and i went to the emergency room. the 1st thing i asked her when she got in there was, do you have insurance? and she did. it. started with the receptionist telling her its gonna be really expensive. you can leave now and it won't cost you anything. can you get under parents insurance? it started there. and what all the way through to the back was to where she was supposed to be being treated. at the time, her daughter shaelyn was 22 years old. between jobs, she had no health insurance. 3 weeks after being turned away from the emergency

department, shaelyn went to cartier, respiratory arrest amy raised to the hospital and found her sister all ready at her daughters bedside. i remember running down the corridor and i saw my sisters outside of the waiting area and i was yelling, you know, is he still alive? no parent should have to see what i saw. and i remember to sit in the house like please me, strong, strong, pull through please don't die please. and then they told me that she had a pulmonary embolism and i was like, what do you mean? i said, lisa, well, she must. she is, her leg is still swollen. she has a mass of clot, still at her leg. and i remember thinking, wait a minute,

she was just in the emergency room. what do you mean? an ellie's like i don't know how they missed us. and i held her like i had a baby with her hair and i was thinking, so i used to think to her and what i knew they were going to be turning off a piece, you know, with this machine with a flat right. that is the reality of a deepest death at y m, because she could provide proof of issue ah

ah, in the united states hospitals have increasingly become businesses. and so they act like businesses very often in terms of maximizing the revenue they can get from insurance companies and from patients with we keep missing fossil fuels in the way that we're currently doing it. by the end of this century, $2100.00 level of carbon dioxide is necessary. it would be a 1000 parts per 1000000 that we wouldn't have seen that level of carbon dioxide for 55000000000 years. and when that last happened,

there was no washing up on it and as you said, and talked to have plum trees living on it. so the consequences will be a sea level globally of about 60 maces higher than it is today. lou. supporters of student songs playing there is no reason to believe washington's promise that he'll be allowed to serve any us sentencing his homeland australia that has the u. k. hi, port deliberate on whether to hand him over to the americans. around the day i prob, altogether, i've been thinking else who's alone. he would spend the rest of your life in a super max prison in the united states. what kind of life is that with no crime, i've been telling a world the truth, a solution to the energy crisis base and other big issues are being discussed to anthony potomac for when they thought in city verona today, where prominence, future shaping voices from europe and asia are getting together facebook no more,
