But you're also full of shit on much of what you say.
I've had Blue Cross/Blue Shield thru 2 jobs I've worked over the past 30 years. Not once have I had anything, not one thing, turned down. And I've had my share of surgeries, mri's, concussions, breaks and injuries. And not once did they sue!
Now are there a few bad insurance companies? Yes. But to paint with such a broad brush is ignorant of the facts. Which it's obvious you are.
Oh and btw, our group has been involved in running and promoting motocross races here for over 25 years. Luckily we've never been sued, but I know promoters who have. 90% of the time it's the parents or family doing it not the insurance companies. Although I'm no fan of insurance companies of any kind, they do serve a valuable purpose.
But we pay "sin" taxes on things like tobacco and alcohol. The additional taxes find their way to subsidizing our healthcare costs.
So you could say you're rewarded for leading a healthy lifestyle, in that you pay less tax. If you're going to drink a flat or a fifth a day and smoke two packs, your going to pay more in tax help cover the cost of your unhealthy choices down the road.
All good if you just need a regular doctor visit. Good luck if you need a test like an mri and/or surgery. Guy I work with is born and raised in Canada. Blew out his knee playing softball. Waited 6 months for an mri and 5 months more for surgery. If I had that happen here I could have the mri and surgery in the same week.
That said, our system needs work for sure. But I do believe we have some of the best doctors in the world.
What about a person in Canada who has heart disease and another condition but has to ration their medication so only treats one condition.
These are realities in America, so if the trade off is your mate has to wait 6 months to get a specialty surgery then that’s a fantastic trade off. Because that was a luxury surgery that he may have paid for if his insurance covered it but for anyone else it wouldn’t have been possibly or it would have been hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt.
So I feel bad for your friend but if that’s as bad as it gets then that’s a fucking good trade off.
Get a clue dude!
All good, I'm not being a bully or offensive. Certain things are just clear and peoples ignorant responses are hilarious.
Stay safe people in this strange time where it's apparently OK for the government for public health even though a private system will fix your knees quicker...
Pit Row
Besides we have government run healthcare now, it's called the VA. How's that working out? It's not, it's low quality shit show.
Guess what I owed?
$0
And the people in the country that payed into the single payer Medicare that covered me and other Australians injured the same pay half as much as you at for healthcare...
I was 20 and Working part time, in America I would have potentially more than a million dollars of debt. At 20. And now a paraplegic...
Public health saved my life and livelihood. And I didn’t have to start a go fund me to pay for it...
Do you wanna know why the VA doesn’t work.... it’s the same reason Obamacare got so expensive.... when have a system that allows the private insurance companies to pick a do choose people they allow in based on risk, then those at higher risk including coming back from war are forced into what is available to them, meaning those become overloaded. A public system fixes this because the pool becomes 300 million people so the cost comes down as the high risk and low risk are all I the pool. The cost comes down for everyone because there’s not publically traded insurance companies as the middle man who is legally required to do everything possible for profit.
And your grammar sucks!
Nothing I said was irrational. If you can explain why that would be great. I’m open minded and focused on facts.
But if you bring personal experience of a $3000 mri after paying I assume a minimum of $12000 a year in insurance then I’ll bring my experience of public health saving my life and flying me halfway across the country for urgent surgery without billing me anything. So what makes you prefer an expensive private system?
And yes there’s private health insurance in Australia as well for people that want to jump the cue but after paying the Medicare levy and the personal private health insurance it’s still less than the cost in America. Crazy right?
Please tell me what I have wrong about the American system and why it’s really good for America as a whole?
It's abolutely brilliant and free
Lots of people top up with private healthcare which helps you get quicker treatment if it's non urgent
Any urgent help for trauma would still be through public system as private healthcare is not set up for emergencies
