What happens when you run healthcare like a fast-food chain?
You get America’s largest for-profit hospital system: HCA Healthcare.
This is the story of how a pitch for Kentucky Roast Beef—KFC’s roast beef expansion—ends with a few billionaires and a broken healthcare system.

I'm glad they were fucking making citizens pay for their fucking wars
Kentucky fried Chicken stands for killing fucking chickens
met a woman just out of college. she was working to game the Medicare system, or rather she was a consultant that worked to do so for her company
was so appalled that was even a thing. not surprising tho
it's all the co's that are taking from everyone else yall. the ones who need it least
for profit healthcare is blood money. Medicare for all world cost less, and provide better since everyone would be covered
Have you done an expose about the $6.2 billion dollars in government subsidies that Walmart receives in the form of Federal Taxes, in order to pay their employees and undercut the competition’s prices😳 The employees themselves are paying their own wages in order for Walmart to profit. Highest year ever, I believe, was $12 billion! That $12 billion was then allocated to less than a dozen Wally World family members😳 McDonald’s comes in 2nd place for the number of employees on food assistance and/or Medicaid!
😂😂😂If you believe that "non-profits" eliminate monetary gain and corruption, I've got some beachfront property to sale you in Tennessee. 😂😂😂
I wonder how Kaiser Permanente compares. They get away some Wild stuff. They're SUPPOSEDLY not for profit but they do some ridiculous stuff with their patients.
I always hated KFC, and I knew it was destroying people's health, but I never realized it was destroying our healthcare, too! Even more conformation that the business and its product is garbage.
I'm so sick of this "you know like the movie" "you know like the meme" style of filmmaking.
How wealthy people keep getting rich everyday for years 😂😂😂 😆
The things that have me irritated are too long of a list but have you done videos on corporate farming, corporate conglomerates who run our food industry, privatization of prisons, jails, or taxpayers funding that is eroding public schools by going to private schools that are both online or religious schools.
In what other industry do consumers not know the cost of a product or service until months after they receive it? There is no such thing as competition in the US “healthcare” industry. Every part of it is a scam and it provides inferior care across the board.
Oversupply of hospitals and doctors? I don't care when this was. Fuck you from the deepest recesses of my soul.
Then I guess they would never recommend the carnivore diet then huh 😅
Maybe if we stop sending billions of dollars funding senseless wars, we could subsidize healthcare… Thank your poloticians for that.
There’s probably no more pressing, achievable, and no brainer of a change out there for Americans than universal healthcare. All of the barriers to it would crumble if the people understood the issue and spread the word. So everyone here do just that and champion an at least halfway decent future for America once we get it done.
I never expected a video with such a quirky title to hit this close to home & shake me to my core.
I live in the city where those hospitals are located.
Getting assigned to Research Hospital has been a death sentence for my mother, grandfather & multiple relatives.
I have no other words
Poor people and dead people make me so so so angry. Why can't they be more like rich people?
Ha! I knew The Colonel was behind this!
Can you do a deep dive into how Lina Khan is making monopolists upset; and how they’re going after her?
Donnie gonna fix it …
Nothings changed doctors are still unscrupulous mobsters with nothing but profits in mind. Hospitals are still places to go either die or broke…
No they don't because I don't eat that shit! Last time I was in a McDonalds was over 30 years ago! A regular diet of this crap will kill you early!
Thanks for bringing this up. The Frist family's name should be known by every household in the country. Total parasites ripping off the government then gaslighting everybody else for the price of healthcare going up.

Yeah, people will do anything for greed. Especially if they are insulated against the people they are hurting(they always are).
I really appreciate how creatively enlightening this channel's videos are! it's so rare when it's actually something we all are wanting!
The Jones Act. How Congress and Big Corporations exploiting for BILLIONS of dollars each month the human and natural resources of 2 million American Citizens by denying them rights of The Constitution.
That’s right I’m talking about Puerto Rico
@moreperfectunion black farmers were systematically put into foreclosure by racist local governments throughout the end of the 20th century mainly because their own recourse was to scream into a void, probably the worst thing I've heard of recently
Ahhh, corporate welfare. The American dream.
That was former presidential candidate (1996 and 2000) Steve Forbes in the center of one of those 1960s photographs with Frist! Ugh.
If we want to have self respect and be self reliant we can pay to make a new parallel healthcare system that is designed to help us maximize our health instead of just helping us be less sick. If I want some one else (government, insurance or doctor) to be responsible for (or pay for) the health of my own body then I must be aware I may not like all the choices they make.
KFC garbage food
Even though I don't agree with the greed, healthcare is NOT a "human right" any more than having your car fixed by a mechanic. These docs paid dearly for that education and grew skills. Don't fall for the "free" healthcare BS, let's just try to cut the insurance company bloat.
This is why I’m a socialist.
Fried chicken vs roast beef sandwich destroyed health care. And you think Q Anon is crazy? Just shows stupidity of leftist YouTube liberals.

While all MPU videos are beyond informative and well done – they are plaguing my mental health.
☹️☹️SORRY I DON'T BELIEVE IN PEOPLE THAT THE LIPS OR MOUTH GO TO ONE SIDE WHEN THEY TALK 😳☹️!!!BYE☹️
We need Universal Single Payer Healthcare… and we need to nationalize the entire healthcare industry.
How about a video on how the prison system int the US is run for profit, and the cheap labor prison labor used to deflate manufacturing costs for companies like the one that supplies all the major fast food chains with their work uniforms.
Bring back Ruffles Cajun Spice potato chips 1986-1990
bring back wedges fuck kfc boycott kfc
13:18 – Ight bet. Nestlé as a whole.
Great video!! The thing that makes me angry is having to deal with hospitals anywhere. I guess we have HCA to thank for spreading incompetence and greed. I just got back from Colombia where I got 4 small cavities filled, $60, and I had an appointment with a very caring dermatologist for $50. HCA and the Frists may have led corruption in the healthcare industry, but the AMA and the ADA are also totally complicit. I hope I never have to be treated in an American hospital – that I can pass away at home or in a Colombian hospital. The AMA or national nurses association could change things, but they don’t.
Meanwhile Rick Scott who defrauded Medicaid in Florida is running for office yet again. More corruption and profits over people.
Easily worse to piss you off is when the CIA let a whole lot of black men rot with gonorrhea under false pretenses of treatment
In the US, everything seems to must end up as corporate stuff with no choices anymore. Regardless on where you look, everything becomes corporate with no consumer choice left.
Sadly most parts of the world copy this system.
I've already accepted that healthcare always was and always will be a malicious scam. What makes me angry is the housing stuff. I know it's naive but I used to think that I would be able to afford an apartment with money left over one day. Now I know that as soon as I move out I'm going to be broke for the rest of my life and that the American dream is dead.
They are the reason I left healthcare
HCA is the most evil company I have ever worked for as a nurse. They will get rid of everyone from the top position all the way to the bottom and run a department with no resources and put WHOEVER in charge that will push the profits for the shareholders forward. It’s disgusting. HCA is bigger than Nike and thinks slashing labor cost will have same effect….with Nike tho we just get worse shoes…in the hospital YOU DIE!
