hahah....yep....they are known for letting people die in the alley outside the ER over there....hahahah....There are literally tons of insurance plans to keep people from bankruptcy because of medical issues but healthy people don't want to spend the money. Take a look at the federally run education system. It has been a mess for decades. What would happen if the incompetent federal government assumed responsibility for health care? God help us. Notice that nobody travels to the U.K for medical treatment?
Nope.....I don't know who is doing the rating.must be people that don't need any pharmacy assistance.I don’t hear anyone complaining about Medicare. In fact, it is constantly is rated as one of the best government benefits.There are literally tons of insurance plans to keep people from bankruptcy because of medical issues but healthy people don't want to spend the money.

It’s disgusting, yet the wingers somehow think he’s different from Don and rest of the warmongering assholes in DC.Our great and wonderful government no matter who is potus can spend enormous sums on war, but there just isn’t enough for HC.Filings have dropped about 50 percent, from 1,536,799 in 2010 to 770,846 in 2016 (see chart, below). Those years also represent the time frame when the ACA took effect. Although courts never ask people to declare why they’re filing, many bankruptcy and legal experts agree that medical bills had been a leading cause of personal bankruptcy before public healthcare coverage expanded under the ACA. Unlike other causes of debt, medical bills are often unexpected, involuntary, and large.Isn’t Obamacare great?Should medical bills be the #1 reason for bankruptcy in the "greatest" country on Earth? I think the article put it best.
Medical debt is a 'uniquely American problem' caused by a 'very broken' system, expert explains
A uniquely American problem. And before anyone points out that this is still going on even after Obamacare, I NEVER supported Obamacare.
Doesn’t matter if you support it or not. Dems shoved it down America’s throat and it’s wonderful because they say it is.
How the Affordable Care Act Drove Down Personal Bankruptcy
Since the Affordable Care Act was introduced, the number of personal bankruptcies has dropped in half, a Consumer Reports analysis found.www.consumerreports.org
--------------------------------
Yes it is great.
It's still the largest reason people file bankruptcy.
Americans: healthcare please
Biden: Sorry did you say airstrikes on Iraq and Syria?
Americans: no, healthcare
Biden: Alright, you drive a hard bargain, but here are your airstrikes on Iraq and Syria.
It makes no sense to me. We waste trillions on war (I see where Biden is happily going to toss our wealth haphazardly in the middle east some more) with nothing to show for it but millions here still can not afford to go see a doctor.
Americans should be in the streets demanding their government stop nonstop wars.
Yeah funny how those 600,000 never actually showed up in the national All Causes death totals eh? Gotta wonder about that.A lot of cost drivers were addressed. Coverage was expanded. Both in Medicaid and personal plans. Those are folks that would have previously be indigent or fall into bankruptcy.Coverage. Of course it makes possible for people who could not previously afford it to have coverage. That gives you protection from bills that cause bankruptcy. Not the opposite.Obama care does nothing but pile money into insurance company coffers...that's all it ever did.Should medical bills be the #1 reason for bankruptcy in the "greatest" country on Earth? I think the article put it best.

Millions can still not afford the co-pays and deductibles. Absolutely nothing on the cost side was addressed. Sadly the Democrats still won't address this. They seem to prefer on running on "Trump bad" still as opposed to what they have planned to do about health care costs.
It was never meant to fix everything. Hell, the Dems can’t even get buy in from the Repubs to wear masks during a global pandemic that has killed 600k Americans without it being called Marxist or tyranny. Good luck getting them to tackle the healthcare that they hid from while in power. What happened to repeal and replace?
They actually think it will be more available .hahahahah. ...hooboy...letiesIt makes no sense to me. We waste trillions on war (I see where Biden is happily going to toss our wealth haphazardly in the middle east some more) with nothing to show for it but millions here still can not afford to go see a doctor.
So what do you want to see done about it, surrender the rest of our freedom to government via monopolizing our healthcare?

Not sure how we can attack the problem...... If you allow doctors to operate independently...only the rich would be able to afford health care. Having Insurance companies in between us and what we need to survive also has its drawbacks since they only operate if they make a profit and who can blame them for that? I do think that people who purposely sabotage their health should be called out for it....but that can have a slippery slope too....eventually someone may claim that eating meat is just like smoking cigarettes.LOL......how amazingly obtuse of you.... You have a badly managed system that is failing from debt and you want to hand it to the worst money management group on the face of the planet to fix it? hahahahaha...... You lefties are a scream....The #1 reason healthcare should be nationalized.Should medical bills be the #1 reason for bankruptcy in the "greatest" country on Earth? I think the article put it best.

Come up with a better plan.
I know one thing for sure....having congress do the heavy lifting on health care ensures that graft, favoritism and politics will be folded into every doctor's visit.

Allowing the federal government to confiscate money (at the point of a gun) from everyone to offer sub-standard health care including illegal aliens is a bad idea. The government is the worst choice for health care.
really? it’s in a thread about healthcare insuranceI think this post sums up a lot of the issues....folks don't know what insurance is...or much about the topicView attachment 506452We have insurance industry run health care.
Allstate, for example, doesn't offer healthcare insurance.
Nor was the post implying it does.
I don’t hear anyone complaining about Medicare. In fact, it is constantly is rated as one of the best government benefits.
Not sure how we can attack the problem
Of course we should, but let me tell you, people come from all over the world to get our healthcare. As a patient at the Cleveland Clinic, I can testify that when you go to their main campus downtown, you are the person who feels like a foreigner. Our healthcare quality is the best, but it's also the most expensive.That’s absurd. Shouldn’t we expect more from the world’s most expensive hc system?
Lol, according to you. Link it or shut up.Hospitals always drastically cut bills and work out payment plans for self pays. I have heard this story over and over. For years. It's just not true.

Which would be worse? Government run or privately run?
Based on the care my grandparents received I would say the government run shit is worse.
We can vote to change the government but there`s nothing we can do with the $9 million dollar a year CEO of a healthcare company.pknopp

I doubt it’s the best any longer. It may still be for the wealthy, who can afford the best care. It’s not a fair system, but I suspect you don’t care about fairness.Of course we should, but let me tell you, people come from all over the world to get our healthcare.

That is just factually wrong. Simply having more people covered contributes to lower or at least slower cost growth.A lot of cost drivers were addressed. Coverage was expanded. Both in Medicaid and personal plans. Those are folks that would have previously be indigent or fall into bankruptcy.Coverage.

Nothing was addressed on cost side.
I will note that the (D)'s might have had an easier time with masks if the guy pushing them wasn't playing both sides of the aisle.

BTW… there’s nothing political about wearing a mask. At least there shouldn’t be.
