Family policy at work went from $1900 a month to $2100 this month.

I know a guy that just had a 6.5 hour heart operation and there were like 5 people present in the room including the surgeon, during the procedure. The crooks at the hospital charged the insurance crooks $1,500,000...for 6.5 hours work...hehehe.

He told me they could have paid the surgeon and his 4 assistants $10,000 per freaking hour, and it still would have been WAY cheaper, at about $350,000.

These people are living in a dream world..

You know insurance is what in the end drives up medical costs. Who’s being charged? Not the person being treated but insurance. Insurance has removed any sense of checks and balances. Theres a need for insurance,no doubt,but it’s like some monster from 1950’s sci fi that has to be constantly fed or else it will eat you too.

The reason medical care is so expensive, is because hospitals can’t turn anyone away, and those who have insurance have to pay for the medical costs of people without insurance, many of whom don’t have insurance because they want to spend the money on other things, so they are freeloading on the responsible people, who buy insurance.
