One hospital stay for something like a cardiac bypass or valve implant will pretty much zero that out.
So from then on, that Medicare patient is riding in the cart that younger workers are pulling.
Interesting to know that you are apparently in favor of spending every single dollar on Medicare patients that they desire to consume.
Guess we'll just have to triple or quadruple the tax on your grandkids and greatgrandkids to cover that.
Hey, why not? The ungrateful little bastards would just piss it all away on those eye-pads and tee-voes, anyway.
You truly are an idiot. It is no different than pre paying insurance premiums. You obviously don’t care to understand basics.
And a kid who has worked 5 years and paid......? Has a Car wreck and has two have to legs reattached and years of rehab? Insurance is simply a way of distributing the cost over a large group.
There has never been a hurricane where I live and their will never will be, but you can rest assured that, when NoLo has one our rates are affected.
Same thing with car insurance, I have never had a wreck, but every time a kid has on, or because the area you live in has a lot of high dollar cars on the road, my insurance rate is affected, so old people have paid through the wazoo for plenty of stuff they have never personally benefitted from.
Not to mention Insurance companies, unlike the government, use the money we pay in to make money.
Maybe we should figure out ways to make health care more efficient, rather than just close the shop to certain people.
I recently had three stents put in, all told took the doctor about 2 hours, about 4 hours on a bed until I could get up, and go home. Why should that cost $125,000.00? Blue Cross paid them a little over $5,000.00 and I was not responsible to pay the rest. Maybe they over bill a little?
