Donny Deutsch says Medicare for All would turn America into f***ing Denmark. Danish Millionaire shreds him with facts.
Donny Deutsch is worried that Medicare for All will turn America into f***ing Denmark. A Danish Millionaire clapped back and absolutely shredded him with facts.
Deutsch, who has been running his daddys advertising firm since 1989, was a guest on the Bill Maher show where he complained about Medicare for All:

<snip>
In f***ing Denmark, we spend almost half as much per capita on healthcare as the United States. Despite our lower levels of spending, our life expectancy is higher, our infant mortality is lower, and our overall health is much better than the United States. In f***ing Denmark, we deliver high-quality, universal healthcare to each and every citizen, unlike in the United States, which offers for profit consumer choice system that leaves millions of your people choosing to be uninsured and hundred of thousands of others choosing to be both insured and bankrupt.
(Denmark spends a little over $5,000 per person while in the U.S the amount is $10,209. Average life expectancy in Denmark is 80.7 years, while those in the United States average about 78 years and 7 months. Infant mortality rate in Denmark is 3.8 deaths per 1,000 births. U.S. is 5.8 deaths per 1,000 births.)
He doesnt stop there however, Shalchi also talks about how Denmark and its social programs allowed him to become the success that he is today:
You say that your family worked hard to put you in your position so did mine. I was born in Iran in 1961. My family moved to f***ing Denmark when I was a child, after a series of rejected immigration applications, forced separations, and the turmoil in my birth country pushed my family to our limits. I finished my education here, married a beautiful Danish girl and had two amazing children, and built my fortune as a self-employed entrepreneur. I am now a multi-millionaire like you!
While your good fortune began with your fathers success, I credit my good fortune to f***ing Denmark and its robust, inclusive social system that values equality and opportunity for everyone. Unlike the United States, my country has embraced an advanced social tax system that requires people like me to pay substantial and increasingly progressive levels of tax. The people of f***ing Denmark use these funds to invest in the people of f***ing Denmark. Our tax revenues give everyone health care, education and a strong social support system, among other things.

And for all those cheering Denmark, they also have a 25% VAT. You're welcome.

For a relatively contented population, such as Denmark, the VAT is worth it.
