ALBAWABA - Controversial YouTuber and content creator MrBeast recently went viral after uploading a video of him and his crew helping 2,000 amputees walk again, mostly Americans as he further criticized the US's healthcare system for failing to take care of them properly.
The YouTuber took to Musk's X (formerly known as Twitter) and wrote, "Just uploaded a video where we helped 2,000 amputees walk again. Many lived in America and it feels so disgusting that in a country with this much wealth, a f****n YouTuber is their only option to get a prosthetic leg. We need to fix this."
While MrBeast has been involved in several controversial issues, including the horrible treatment of staff and contestants in his games, many users took to social media and commended the YouTuber for helping people in need.

He also posted a short clip promoting the video and claimed that despite some of the amputees having health insurance, they didn't have the right coverage for treatment which "didn't sit right with him."
MrBeast added in the video, "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."
According to the video, the cost of the prosthetics ranged between $5,000 and a whopping $50,000 allowing many to walk again.
During the video, MrBeast was also seen gifting the families several things including money for a wedding, a $65,000 truck for the organization supplying the prosthetics to ease their delivery operations, and many more.
By the time of reporting, the 15-minute YouTube video had already garnered more than 16 million views and a million likes. It featured MrBeast and his crew working hand in hand with prosthetics and research companies to help amputees across the globe.
