Neonatal healthcare is wonderful for parents wanting to keep their babies alive who would otherwise have died and did so generations ago with the same conditions
Years ago, families paid for their medical care. I’m told I ‘cost $75’. Which was a chunk of cash back then.
These parents are asked if they’d like to pay $500G to a million for a baby- who might live a good life.
If they didn’t have a third party payer, what would they say?
MDs bring all this research in and its great, but this is getting paid for by a third party payer who is either the gov’t or an insurance company. Either our taxes pay or our premiums climb, or the other party, the employer kicks in and our hours or salaries or both go down.
It has been this way since third party came in then worsened when Medicare came in, paying for the advances no family can afford nor would ever want to deny.
Neonatal care is the cruelest.
BO simply moved in to take over a sick system acting as a parasite.
After he goes, and he will, we’ll still have this system.
Even military health care will have to cut back and be reasonable.
It is out of control.
It would be real nice to start with denying health care benefits to non qualifyiers.
This family might want to ask how many illegals had been taken care of in that area denying care to a veteran or active duty worker.
the govt has raised these expectations that can not be realistically met....and yes, Medicare did start it...Medicare that we have all paid in for, and I'm still paying a nice chunk in every paycheck, only to find out that its just a catastrophic health care plan, period...
Tricare the same....there is no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. .
and now, we have extremely sick people that nobody can pay for, yet we expect it in this modern age......its going to be a nightmare as we face this, because our health and the health of our families is at stake....
so stay as healthy as you can.
