Waaa Waa Waa Just shoot him in the head and let’s not waste our time with him. Health insurance is a ripoff. Has been that way for a long long time. It will keep getting worse.
BTTT
Expensive....
But Obama promised if you like you doctor you can keep your doctor and you would save around $4,000 per person a year in health costs and have an end to pre-existing condition exclusions and drops for expensive care diagnoses.
I trusted that iconic man. 😪 /S
One person I heard today said Obama and his cronies’ real plan was always to make America’s healthcare system so bad and so intolerable that people would demand it end with total socialist government single payer only run entirely under the choices of Washington.
Getting closer.
It all seems a little too ‘convenient’ to me.
But I don’t care enough about the whole thing to try to follow Luigi along the pipes.
CEO’s and senior big titles everywhere increasing personal security measures.
My response to the old treatments not working is that there isn’t as much profit in old treatments. Big Pharma and Big Med’s moneymakers are in new treatments, not established ones.
It takes time, sometimes years, for a new treatment to be paid down to where it is profitable to make money on it by charging a set price for it that is affordable as an off the counter treatment.
The old treatments do work, even if not as well as new treatments, but they work. There just isn’t as much money in it for Big Pharma and Big Med to structure your business that way.
>> people would demand it end with total socialist government single payer
a common perspective since ~2010
My United Healthcare is great. I’m 88 and this year, United paid for all kinds of stuff. Most serious was a compound fracture of my right wrist. Went to bone surgeon here, and he put in a long metal bar and a few screws to hold it together.-Smilar to the shooter’s X-ray photos.
Worst thing that could happen? If I go through x-ray photos at an airport, they’ll see it and would definitely want me to tell them why. Idiot shooter has same metal junk in his bod and that’s the worst thing that could happen to him.
Off with his head!
People travel from all over the world to partake of our terrible health care system when they could, obviously, receive care in their home countries without travel required.
US health care is about twice as much per person as it is in advanced Western European countries.
BTTT
“Obama promised if you like you doctor you can keep your doctor”
and write the checks to pay his/her fees.
“It started with Advil, ibuprofen, until the stomach aches and acid reflux made her switch to acetaminophen (Tylenol). Then the headaches and barely sleeping made her switch back to Advil.”
As I recollect, my oral surgeon recommended taking both as they had different methods of working.
Because much of the costs in Europe are paid for by hidden taxes.
If socialized medicine became a reality in America, you would lose the advance of being able to live better, by one gradient, at identical incomes than the European.
“People travel from all over the world to partake of our terrible health care system when they could, obviously, receive care in their home countries without travel required.”
A very small percentage come and it is generally to get the care of certain doctors.
Our doctors are typically very good, but our system is poor.
The doctors are only about 15% of the system cost-wise.
Yeah, doctors like that part. A lot.
RE: us writing the checks to doctors....
Rodney Dangerfield: I once had a shrink tell me I have a split personality. My brain has two different people in it.
So he gives me the diagnosis and this big bill for it. I told him “Here’s half. Get the rest from the other guy.”
The chance that in NYC some far-left communist kook gets on that jury and deadlocks it is too great.
“This is real personal. He perceived he was wronged, and someone was going to pay.”
That actually makes sense.
If he wants to have a serious defense in court he needs to keep it personal.
If he starts spouting public policy he is toast.
That said—if everyone wronged by health insurance companies offed an executive the only folks left in the industry would be the clerks.
:-)
Socialism averages, so socialist medicine will cover what the average person needs but not fund anything greater than the average. In some countries, like Canada, they outlaw private medicine so you could not get the advanced treatments even when you are willing to pay out of pocket. So, to the States people go.
