But if you don't have any money and your car breaks down and it's a thousand dollar bill to get it fixed and you can't afford it, you tell me what happens. Yep. All right. Bottom line is you got millions and millions of people, working class people, lower income people struggling to put food on the table. OK, that is the first profound reality.

And the question we've got to ask, why is that in the richest country on Earth? All right. That's number one. Number two, you have a health care system. How's the health care? You tell me. Got a great health care system in America? Well, what do you think? I mean, if you can afford it, it's pretty good. That's right. Yeah, I think that's a better way to look at it. That's exactly right. Yeah.

All right? If you got the money, you got the best health care system in the world. Yeah. But most people don't. How many nations do not guarantee health care to all people as a human right? Do you guys know? How many? One major country. You live in it. Hmm. So here's the insanity. We are spending twice as much per person on health care as most of the European countries.

Guaranteed free health care, not to correct you, but we won't refuse care if you need it. Oh, wait, we will. That's a little bit more subtle than that. Yeah. All right. Let's say you have a $10,000 deductible. Okay. Not unusual. Yeah. Okay. You get sick. What do you do when you don't have any money? I go to the doctor. I go to the emergency room. I say, I'm sick.

And you know what else it results in? The study from Yale was that 68,000 people a year die precisely. You go talk to the doctor. Next time you go to a doctor, say, are people coming into your office much sicker than they should be? And the answer is yes, they are. And that's just avoiding co-pays. Exactly. Okay, fair enough. So people do die by the large numbers. What about our educational system?
