It's not that I can't pay, I don't feel like paying

Any other Americans know this feel?

No because I'm not a nigger and I have a good health insurance plan.

Only niggers, spics, and kikes don't pay hospital bills.

no because my insurance paid for it

In July I broke my foot, had surgery on my foot, spent 2.5 months laying in bed injecting myself with shots of Heparin everyday so my blood wouldn't coagulate; and I didn't pay a single dime for any of this. In fact, my insurance firm added 500€ in my bank account because I wasn't able to work even though I've never even had a job because I'm 19 years old and still studying.

4 years ago I had surgery to correct my nasal septum and after 3 days in hospital they gave me prescriptions for the medicines I had to take and a sheet from the hospital stating that the cost for the surgery + hospitalization was of 2600€.

All paid by my taxes.

Didn't pay for it anyways.

>>68878859
Yes but they are expensive. My Obamacare plan was $180 a month. I had to pay $20 to see a primary doctor and $60 to see a specialist doctor. $5 for prescriptions.

Most plans have deductibles. Mine was $6000 a year . That means if I go to the hospital or get surgery I had to pay up to the deductible and then the insurance would pay the rest.

As you can see its still ridiculous with having to pay monthly and still having a high deductible.

You must be literally retarded if you don't want to pay a little bit of tax every month in case you get sick rather than to have a fat fucking hospital bill slapped in your face when shit actually goes down

>feels good to know that if I get cancer or some shit it's all prepaid for me
>>
>>68879328
The funniest(or saddest) thing of all is that many people without insurance avoid going to the doctor for small things that sometimes later balloon into emergencies wihch have to be treated but will hardly be payed off by the individual.

This causes the whole system to be more expensive in the end than a publicly funded one that covers every individual

It would be hilarious if it wasn't so sad.

People don't want their taxes paying for spics and black people. They don't pay tax so white people will have to pay for everything.

Switzerland has the best healthcare system while having low taxes. It isn't socialized.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthcare_in_Switzerland

>Healthcare in Switzerland is universal[3] and is regulated by the Swiss Federal Law on Health Insurance. There are no free state-provided health services, but private health insurance is compulsory for all persons residing in Switzerland (within three months of taking up residence or being born in the country).[4][5][6]

Pretty much a far improved version of obongocare

I accidentally hit my eye at work. I went to the ER because the pain wouldn't go away after a few hours. I basically just stayed their for an hour, they put some dye on my eye and looked at it under a blacklight to confirm I have a corneal abrasion, and gave me a prescription for painkillers and antibiotics to keep my eye from getting infected. Somehow it only cost $51 + the cost of the prescriptions. But I don't even have to pay it, since it happened at work it's covered by workman's comp.

People who go to the ER and then don't pay jack up the prices for people who do pay. So the spics and niggers that just go to the ER when they're sick still raise your healthcare costs.

This is a lie. States that expanded Medicaid under Obamacare have actually seen a rise is hospital costs.
>>
>>68880153
rural whites do it too, as someone who has worked in a hospital in a all-white area. poor people in general do it regardless of race

ERs are usually losses for hospital systems regardless. they closed the trauma center in southern chicago (Chi-raq). I think only now they are opening another
>>
>>68880153
Don't forget all the doctors that have to pay off half a million in student loans.

>>68880186
It's not a lie. Them going to the ER and not paying still costs more than if poor people were refused treatment. Obamacare is a hugely complicated law and costs are going up for a lot of reasons.

They aren't going to the ER because they have Medicaid and a primary care doctor. Despite the lower ER visits those states still haven't decreased costs.

The other day a watched a documentary on rural America.

It was about an all-white town that used to be next to a big coal mine.

Once a year a team of doctors that toured the state showed up and treated people in the town gym for free, like fucking doctors without borders.

Pretty much half of the town stood in line in front of the gym for hours in order for treatment because all of these people were uninsured. Those who needed addiotional dental treatment had to stand in line two times.

It was just surreal, like straight out of a post-apocalyptical movie.

Kek spoken like somebody who has no knowledge of insurnace here apart from memes and copy pasting the same images of hospital bills. Austardia is a joke.
>>
>>68879655
You're already paying for them!! They take their fat black asses down to the er when things get bad enough which inflates the prices for everyone else. If we focused on universeal and especially preventative care for everyone I'd bet costs for everyone would lower substantially.
>>
>>68877062
because they are supposed to be greedy?
>>
>>68880550
yeah it's bad in some areas
I saw a news report of these evil doctors who set up shop in rural America and were handing out opioid painkiller prescriptions like candy on halloween. they were making around 10k-15k a week from the addicted townsfolk. took several years for them to shut the place down because they are technically legal practicing doctors. then they just set up shop somewhere else

sad fucking stuff
>>
>>68880550
On average America is actually a rather poor country. Dilapidated areas like Appalachia are easily Eastern Europe tier.
>>
>>68880550

There was this one women that had missing teeth and was using a shitty dental prosthesis that didn't fit at all and she was trying to get it adjusted.

Luckily, the dentists classified here as an emergency so she could leave the gym with her dignity restored but I suspected that the fact that the TV crew was following her playe a major role in this.

No, it's not. We pay twice as much per capita than the rest of the civilized world. And if you think health reform is bullshit then you're literally the epitome of 'a good goy.' None of that cost trickles back down to you, the consumer, like the $200 saline bag

Why is our system so stupid

half the people don't pay

the other half need insurance in order to have their army of lawyers and strongmen to break hospitals down to asking for a much smaller bill which they'll then pay

so bizarre
