Watch how shocked British people were at the cost of healthcare in the US
When JOE took to the streets to find out how much British people know about the costs of US healthcare, a few people had their eyes opened – and not in a good way.
Ambulance call out? $2,500. Childbirth? $30,000.

Joe: An inhaler?
Woman: $100?
JOE: $250 to $350?
Woman: For an inhaler? Man, so if you’re poor, you’re dead.
Please watch this.
We're so lucky to have the NHS. The Tories *are* going to sell it off bit by bit.
This gives you some idea of how expensive being ill will become https://t.co/v6QM4XBvLf

Americans watched the clip and had an important message for Brits.
To our friends in the UK: please cherish, protect, & continue investing in your healthcare system!
Once Big Pharma & special interests get their hands on it, it could take generations to regain.
Millions of people in the US are fighting to have a system half as good as the NHS. https://t.co/gPR2oq7ZSw

A whole video of Brits being sweet summer children when told the cost of US healthcare. Yeah, guys. Do NOT let Trump and BoJo fuck up your NHS. We'd kill for it. We're literally dying for it. https://t.co/jl6J57o31A
