I'm starting to agree with the posters from the last video. The b&w clips are really annoying.

Sorry for the comment spam. Anyway, one thing I wish more of these videos address were chronic health conditions that prevent one from either getting insurance of are difficult to pay for. I know the concept of paying for "insurance" for a preexisting condition is a bit weird (unless you had insurance from before birth), but I think more should be mentioned into how the free market could make things like diabetes tests and meds affordable oop, or medicines for other chronic conditions. I think this makes a large block of those who cannot get insurance or cannot afford it (despite not being in poverty) and really need to be able to afford healthcare.

I agree that the spliced in clips are really annoying. It distracts from the message. If Michael Moore produced these it would not bother me as much since I have come to expect that editing technique from him. What these guys (Paul, Schiff) have to say is interesting enough to stand on its own. Other than that minor annoyance, these are great. Keep up the good work!

Good video, but lose those black and white clips, i think mostly it detracts from the message.
