“can’t afford healthcare” <> “not getting healthcare”
Illegals don’t seem to have much trouble getting HC.
File this as useless information generated by inaccurate and biased goverment surveys.
Lots of people would see a dr for a hangnail if it was free.
How many people actually skipped a dr appointment for a serious issue due to cost?
How many skipped or cancelled an appointment because the issue resolved itself before the appointment because wait times are so long?
Visual Capitalist is a leftist propaganda site.
Why do you post such crap? And don’t even comment yourself?
The map is accurate for me. In Oregon, I’m spending about 10% or my income for healthcare.
$32k/annually
None. I can tell you there has been a significant reduction of the illegals jamming up my hospitals ER.
It’s nice.
Bkmk
health coverage for old people is stupid expensive. I can now see why some have to make choices between food and medications. America isn’t a financially friendly for older American that paid into this shitty system
Cost shifting of insurance for Americans between 55 and 65, is just flat expensive.
Many who got onto Obamacare as an insurer of last resort, discovered poor health care and huge insurance bills.
Great point.
Because people eat like crap and don't get out and move and get exercise.
This guy really advocates for healthy eating and has a lot to say on insulin resistance and its deleterious effect on health.

This particular video is one of his longest (an hour), but he has many others that are much shorter that deal with it. I just can't find them right now.
ABSOLUTELY!!!!
And being FORCED onto Medicare at 65 doesn’t help any at all.
It is nice.
But guess who will be made to pay for the fact that the utilization rate is down.
And not just in the ER, I’ll bet.
Here’s how they handle it in my neck of the woods...
It takes weeks or months for certain procedures.
And it’s harder than hell to see an MD.
And, yeah, the costs are insanely high.
But then this isn’t really about healthcare, is it.
Technically you aren’t forced.
You can wait to sign up.
But you pay far more if you do that.
In the meantime I would love a catastrophic plan type coverage.
I can’t get that from anyone.
“And being FORCED onto Medicare at 65 doesn’t help any at all.”
Part A normally comes from 40 quarters of work. You don’t have to take it.
Part B and Part D have 10% premium penalties per year unless you take them and for Part B pay a $555/quarter premium.
My Part D plan is ‘free’ for me. I got an antibiotic prescription for dental work.
If you worked hard and you married right (hard worker as well) you can afford good health insurance and you can retire with good health insurance.
It’s not a right period and not a government handout.
“In the meantime I would love a catastrophic plan type coverage.
“I can’t get that from anyone.”
In theory, coverage could be cobbled together outside of the exchanges. You might wish to talk to a licensed insurance agent about your options.
