MrBeast criticized YouTube subreddit mods for removing a post about his comments on the U.S. healthcare system.

The post was focused on a segment from his latest video, where MrBeast discusses the limitations of US healthcare, especially regarding access to prosthetics.

In the video, MrBeast shares his philanthropic efforts to provide prosthetic limbs to amputees in various countries, including the US, Guatemala, Kenya, and Ecuador. He specifically addressed the fact that many amputees are unable to afford prosthetics due to exorbitant costs, which can range from $5,000 to $50,000, or because insurance providers refuse coverage.

MrBeast voiced his frustration on social media, claiming the post was gaining traction and was about to reach Reddit's front page when it was deleted. He accused the moderators of the subreddit of censoring content related to him unless it was negative. According to MrBeast, some individuals in the US who had insurance were still unable to access prosthetics, highlighting the shortcomings of the healthcare system. He pointed out the absurdity of YouTubers like himself stepping in to provide solutions, rather than the government or insurance companies.

In addition to his criticism, MrBeast also shared his confusion over why providing prosthetics, which enable people to return to work and contribute to the economy, is not a priority for insurers and healthcare systems.
