Yes it is!With >4x the people, its about time.
That it has taken this long speaks volumes.Yes it is!
But they don't. Further, they are fully indoctrinated to accept the CCP's propaganda unquestioningly. For example, some 70% of Chinese believe that the COVID virus is actually from a US lab.That it has taken this long speaks volumes.
Imagine, had the Chinese people lived in an open, liberal, capitalist society.
/——/ If you want to live like a commie slave, go be a commie slave, but don’t drag us into your hell hole.
/——/ You’re whining about something you don’t understand. If you don’t like deductibles, then pay a higher premium or buy additional gap insurance. The deductible means you’re partially self insured and this helps reduce unnecessary medical visits which keeps all of our rates lower.We need a new system.
The one we have is broken.
Case in point, Bonzi earlier in the year had some medical procedures done and the total cost to us was about$650.
Insurance paid nothing... a little thing called deductible.
I have an aortic aneurysm that requires a cat scan every two years, I had that done as well as a stress test to evaluate how well/poor my circulation system works. Total cost out of pocket - $1400
Insurance paid nothing... a little think called deductible.
So out of pocket we have paid $2,050. Insurance - $0
Then you add the premiums we have paid, at the end of the year it will be $7,080.
The insurance received and kept $7,080 as gross profit.
We would have been better off NOT having health insurance. It would have been much cheaper despite several medical procedures.
FACT: Most Americans after Obamacare passed no longer have healthcare coverage. They have catastrophic-only care at a higher cost than what REAL healthcare coverage once was.
The Democrats passed a healthcare disaster that cost every American $1,000's a year that goes straight to the pockets of the very - very rich.
/——/ And yet you praise Communism in China. Go live there if it’s soooooooo wonderful. BTW, China wants to enslave Taiwan at the point of a gun.I've made it clear to you that isn't what I desire for Canada.
But unfortunately, you're only interested in spamming this thread for lack of ideas of your own.
Actually if medical services were subjected to market forces instead of being insulated from them prices would have to go down.I suppose if we all had a few hundred thousand $$$ in the bank, to spare, paying out of pocket would be the norm.
/——/ On this we agree. My insurance didn’t cover a treatment my doc and I wanted. We negotiated a lower price I paid out of pocket.Actually if medical services were subjected to market forces instead of being insulated from them prices would have to go down.
Every single medical service provider should have to post the actual costs of every procedure and product they sell.
Only in medicine do we think it's OK to charge some people more for a procedure than others based on nothing but the type of insurance they have.
I understand it better than you. Obviously by your post./——/ You’re whining about something you don’t understand.

I have $1,000 deductible on my car insurance so I can pay a lower premium. Any minor dings I get, I just pay out of pocket. In return, I pay a lower premium than if I had $500 or zero deductible.
/——/ Then your original post was poorly worded. It sounded like you were just whining about deductibles without understanding them.I understand it better than you. Obviously by your post.
For decades and decades America has healthcare coverage with deductibles averaging $250 to $500 a year. Many plans had no deductible.
Many plans didn't even have co-pay.
The average deductible today is between $4,500 - $8,500 for family.
The average copay today is 20% on top of the deductible.
That is, by definition, catastrophic care and NOT helathcare coverage. If the only way you receive any money from a plan is when a large health event occurs - that IS catastrophic only care plan.
And then there is that little trick they instituted about 10 years ago - "The Spouse Clause". Insurance companies won't cover a spouse if their employer offers their own coverage. Result - people pay higher premiums and have higher deductibles. Insurance companies keep a great deal more of the money
Then your reading is compromised./——/ Then your original post was poorly worded. It sounded like you were just whining about deductibles without understanding them.
BTW, Obozocare dictated those high deductibles to protect the insurance companies you hate sooooooo much
/----/ "Then your reading is compromised."Then your reading is compromised.
I literally said that Obamacare almost immediately cost the average American family $1000's every year that go directly into the pockets of those entities.
And I don't "hate" insurance companies. What I "hate" is the collusion between government and all manner of corporations to extract more and more money from us. It is a system designed to transfer as much wealth as possible from the citizens to enrich an extraordinary small number of people.

Yes. We broke it with irrational regulation and tax policy. To fix it, we first need to undo those laws.We need a new system.
The one we have is broken.

Yep. That's what Congress does. They funnel money to their friends.The Democrats passed a healthcare disaster that cost every American $1,000's a year that goes straight to the pockets of the very - very rich.
Yes, I praise China's communist system for elevating hundreds of millions up out of poverty. It seems that only communism could do that./——/ And yet you praise Communism in China. Go live there if it’s soooooooo wonderful. BTW, China wants to enslave Taiwan at the point of a gun.
BTW, disagreeing with you does not equate with spam.
So you think I'm dragging you into communism?But dragging all of us is exactly what is happening.
Sadly.
That's delusional on a number of levels. First of all, China is NOT a communist system (ask a communist). And they haven't elevated shit. Poverty is still rampant in China.Yes, I praise China's communist system for elevating hundreds of millions up out of poverty. It seems that only communism could do that.
Yes, China is a communist system in which the people are cared for by the state.That's delusional on a number of levels. First of all, China is NOT a communist system (ask a communist). And they haven't elevated shit. Poverty is still rampant in China.
I'm not a fan of the "If you don't like it, get the hell out" response in political arguments - and that's not what I'm saying here. But you really should spend some time in China - at least a year. Maybe you'd love it, you seem to get off on big government. But I suspect you'd be pretty fed up by the end of your stay. Especially if you needed health care.

/——-/ At the age of 70, I’ve never met one person who thinks Canadians are or their country is communist.So you think I'm dragging you into communism?
Many Americans think Canada and Canadians are communists. Can you explain why that is? I think America is getting very close to a fascist takeover under a deranged psychopath.
