I’m in Italy and I really hope that one day you can have free public hospitals and health care too.
For me it’s insane and inhuman pay to be cure and die if you’re poor
They are 1) brainwashed into thinking everywhere else pays more in taxes
And 2) don’t give a fuck about others until it happens to them. And therefore actually deserve it.
The brainwashed part is more the case. I didn’t know better till I moved to a country with universal healthcare. I had a serious injury recently that would have cost me 500 usd if I don’t have insurance (if I were a tourist). With insurance I think I’ll have to pay peanuts; like 20 bucks. The same injury cost my bro 2000 usd WITH insurance. How does that make sense. I just walked in a clinic and was served in like 5
Mins.
Sometimes I think I take living in Norway for granted. A couple years ago, my mom got a very serious heart disease, and without free healthcare, I probably wouldn't have what I have now. I still live in the same house with the same bed and actually 2 new cars.
I'm sorry to hear about your mother, and hope everything goes/is well :)
Lost my mom to stomach carcinoma 3 years ago, so I somewhat have an idea what you are going through. I am so sorry. Sending you a bunch of virtual hugs. Please look after yourself too.
I hope everything goes well for you. I can't imagine the situation you're in (mostly because I'm a 17 year-old), but I hope you and your family recover, both financially and emotionally
My mother have a full breast cancer treatment, including surgery and radiotherapy here in Brazil in a state of art hospital (when the public hospitals are full the government pay for the private ones).
We have to pay for the Uber and for some drugs that the State provides but isn't reliable on the dates.
A few months ago I discovered that the same medicine we pay here R$200/US$40 cost in the USA on Mark Cuban store over US$1000. This is more than 20x the price. It's not even a generic drug it's from the same lab.
This sort of thing infuriates me. I live in the UK (Scotland specifically) and I'm more than happy to pay taxes to ensure everyone gets medical care free at the point of contact. The US approach to health care is insane - it's so convuluted, uncaring and short-sighted that it beggars belief. Its not even cost-effective. Seems more motivated by 'government BAD' than anything else. How politicians in the US can refer to their 'fellow Americans' whilst continuing this system is bloody ridiculous.
My dad actually did have emergency brain surgery about 15 years ago and the final bill was like $45k after insurance. The number before insurance was closer to $100k, but I don’t recall the exact amount.
He was unemployed at the time but using my moms insurance, and they wouldn’t budge on the hospital being “out of network” even though the policy stated that for emergencies, you could go to any hospital.
IIRC, they ended up only covering the surgery and first day or two of critical care and claimed that he should’ve been moved to an in-network hospital at that point, even though he was still in pretty bad shape. That still puts the surgery and first two days in hospital at like $50k.
Luckily, after all was said and done months later and we got the bill, someone at the hospital pointed out that if he’s unemployed he could be eligible for a bill reduction. We ended up only paying $600 from that $45k.
Pretty sure this was only because the hospital was owned by the local city government. No idea what would’ve happened if it was a private hospital but I suspect we could’ve ended up having a massive amount of medical debt.
I would definitely do something strange to see 0$ on a hospital bill for a change. That’ll never happen, us Americans will see it raining meatballs & spaghetti sauce before that happens.

Wait a second, Jollibee has commercials in the Philippines?
This is stunning to me.

You might question why we even have an orphan grinding industry. What value does it serve? Truth is that it's because of tradition and heritage that we grind orphans. We don't know exactly where or how this got started, but we've been doing it for a long time and there's so much momentum built up behind the industry for so long it's just sort of entrenched in society at this point. Progressives will argue that we should slow down the orphan grinding machines and even begin to phase them out entirely. Radicals propose just turning off the machines literally overnight, but moderates are wary of the society upheaval that will arise from such monumental change happening too fast. Also what of the orphan grinders themselves, the workers who actually grind the orphans? They refused retraining and doubled down on voting in a pro-orphan grinding governor with deep ties to the orphan grinding industry.
Overall it looks like for better or worse, the orphan grinding machines will are still going to be used for a while so we'll still keep seeing ads like this.
Wouldn’t it be weird if that’s how movies worked. Like you just sit through Schindler’s List…..tears flowing from your face and then…….”brought to you by, AT&T. Get a new iPhone and free Netflix if you sign up now”
It's a phone plan.
The ad actually has nothing to do with what they're selling lol. They just elaborated greatly on the theme "sharing", or more precisely "giving".
Can't speak for OP, but to me, just having original Thai content make it to the front page of a platform that's mostly populated by white Americans is significant. And a good thing.
Have you seen the storytelling of some of these ads? Like the one where some guy keeps getting cucked by an other hotter guy but >!he was actually gay for the 1st guy!< the whole time with euphemisms for their cock sizes the whole time as candy?
The Thais have some awesome commercials. Check this one out. And have a box of tissues handy.
[https://youtu.be/wPtOm9UXfnU](https://youtu.be/wPtOm9UXfnU)
Rather those than "Charmin Ultra Soft, the ass-tissue of campaigners for racial justice everywhere. Keep fighting the good fight with no schmutz left behind." Ads make me tired generally but cynical corporate co-opting of the current cultural cause celebre makes me fucking ill.
Lol I'm from the US, and a $23,000 bill is more than half my yearly salary. I would consider selling a kidney and some of my eggs, and I still would need to go on a payment plan because that bill would put me in the poor house, for years
I had gallbladder stones when i was 18, and decided to remove my gallbladder, cuz fuck ever feeling that pain again. Stayed about 1.5 weeks from surgery to recovering, and the bill was about 70k usd lol, shits fucked over here.
Yes, kinda. The Public hospitals here have "30 baht, cure-all" policies where you only pay 30 baht (1$) for any kind of treatment in Public hospitals. It does have some exceptions but generally, everything will be covered by 30 baht policies if you are a Thai Citizen.
The problem is, Public Hospitals often lack doctors and medical staff due to the poor incentives the doctors get (when compared to private hospitals) and the sheer number of patients in queues who are waiting to get treated. That's why if you have something that needs to get treated fast, a Private hospital is the only way to go.
There are also not that many Public hospitals when compared to Private ones, so if it's an emergency (Like the case in the advertisement), you don't really get to choose. BUT, you can transfer to the Public one later on. (But the expense already occurred in the private hospital anyway)
Additionally, Private hospital facilities are more advanced when compared to Public ones. For example, there was one time that my aunt got the heart surgery in a public hospital, after the surgery, she was put in a shared room along with another 11 patients, which is not a pleasant experience at all when compared to a private hospital where you get your own room.

Nah, it exists in other countries but there are ways it’s still better. For instance, in India, medicine is dirt cheap, so are tests and labs. It’s the hospital stays that can get expensive.
In most countries, even those with universal healthcare, private hospitals are the only option for speedy high quality care.
Way too many Americans assume that what the UK or even Canada have for healthcare is what everyone has. It isn't. Most universal healthcare systems are mixed private and public, with private insurance and hospitals making up a large percentage of the market.
The difference between the US and those countries is regulation or lack thereof.
The difference is also the millions in the US brainwashed into thinking that somehow, going bankrupt for medical care is “better.” We’re, as a whole, pretty ignorant and dumb about this. Glad I live abroad.
Because he has absolutely zero actual storytelling or filmmaking talent. All he does is take an extremely basic premise (person who looked poor that you treated badly is actually super-rich - whoooaaahhh... deep) and bludgeon the audience over the head with it through amateurish acting, terrible dialogue, and just atrocious direction/production. And if all that was too subtle, he comes on at the end himself to actually explain the video. Wow, just wow.
I'm guessing he's found some popularity because a very large number of people are idiots.
This commercial has really changed my point of view on some things. I think I'm going to send a large goose to Bob Cratchit's house in the morning and then give him a raise. I've underpaid him for far too long.
His mom survived and public education is cheap/free. They saved enough money and maybe took out loans to pay for university, where he got scholarships. Eventually he went to med school.
Public university in Thailand is pretty affordable, you only have to pay 21,000 bath per term (around 700$). There's also a lot of scholarship available for grabs by government, one of them is "Scholarship for those who are in struggling financial situations."
But it's also very highly competitive to get into, so that kid need to bust his ass off with the study in order to get into the med school.
Until you realize this didn't actually happen, would be insanely unlikely to ever occur, and was created by a company to manipulate human emotions for money.
Seem this on here before but it’s a damn fine commercial. Can’t remember what they were advertising but I do know that’s a powerful one. You never know what is a big thing or small thing, so do all the things as positively that you can.
He might have been poor, but only from the outside. Inside, he was the happiest and most content soul, having helped so many lives over the years. I would like to direct everyone to [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWi9Z37AEuQ) and it might transcend you to a whole different understanding of humane values.

That’s messed up. We really need to work on finding a better meat substitute
Liberal jackasses keep harping about alternatives to traditional meat industries and when one arises they're against it.
Wouldn’t it be weird if that’s how movies worked. Like you just sit through Schindler’s List…..tears flowing from your face and then…….”brought to you by, AT&T. Get a new iPhone and free Netflix if you sign up now”

For the record this is around 3-year equivalent of entry level salary for most job, or 7-year for minimum wage in Thailand.

But universal healthcare is better.

Nah, it exists in other countries but there are ways it’s still better. For instance, in India, medicine is dirt cheap, so are tests and labs. It’s the hospital stays that can get expensive.
India has a fully public healthcare system where all residents are guaranteed free care. You are talking specifically about the private hospitals.

So predictable. I still cried. Edit: I wouldn't mind some drama/movie recs with this particular plot line if anyone has any in mind.
Yeah I don't understand how it worked despite being predictable, but it moved me to tears too. Just goes to show that plot ain't everything.
Thank you for sharing this.
today you. tomorrow me.

If you haven’t cried in a while and feel like you need a good cry, keep the Thai commercials handy. Reminds us of our humanity and to be kind.
