MrBeast, the biggest YouTube content creator, is advocating for a cause.
This is not the first time the social media personality has utilized his platform to voice his support for humanitarian causes and philanthropic work.
In his latest video, MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, talked about the US healthcare system and highlighted the struggles of amputees.
He could be seen giving people, who can’t walk, artificial limbs, detailing how much it costs to buy prosthetics and that not everyone can afford to buy them.
“It sounds crazy, but most of the people in this video either cannot afford insurance or did not have adequate coverage, meaning that, if we didn’t step in, they may not have ever walked again,” he mentioned.
MrBeast explained, “I wanted to end this video a little differently than normal. I wanted to say that the fact that some of these people had insurance and were denied, some of these people had insurance but didn’t have the right coverage – it just doesn’t sit right with me.”
“Their only hope right now of getting a prosthetic leg so they can walk again, so they can go get a job, is for a YouTuber to step in and help them. Which is absurd,” he further criticized.
“I don’t know what the answer is, but I wanted say this so the 100 million people watching this can get inspired. What I saw when filming this video was obviously not ok,” MrBeast further stated.
