>have to go to ER for asthma attack
> $1200 for ambulance
> $100 fee just to see nurse and general practitioner
> $350 for specialist to accuse me of doing cocaine (I didn't)
> $60 for bloodtest that came back negative
> $400 for steroids
> $60 for random filing fees

And guess what? I have a "silver" obamacare plan that costs me $190 per month.

Please explain why a slightly higher survival rate for cancer makes the American "healthcare" system better than Europoor systems.

>>135759042
It literally isn't. As someone who works on an ambulance I see how fucking awful it is on a daily basis. People without money get fucked. People with insurance that went dry beyond their fault get fucked.

The American healthcare/insurance system is beyond corrupt and needs to be entirely remodeled. There is fraud and corruption at every corner because the primary drive is for profit and it affects patient care in the worst manner. People are treated like cattle rather than patients who have lives and need attention to improve their condition.

Things are in such a bad state right now that I actually WOULD support the socialization of healthcare despite the paradigm that the government will fuck up anything they touch. I honestly don't believe it could get worse.

Why didn't you just use your asthma puffer faggot? Everything you did from the ambulance right up to the steroids was a total waste of money and time. Salbutamol takes 5-15 minutes to work. In future drink more milk or eat calcium rich foods and get 6-8 minutes of sunlight exposure on your skin any tine from 10:00am to 2:00pm. And use your inhaler at the correct times. Save yourself a few thousand dollars.

$4000. Not fucking kidding.

The insurance only covers "in-network" hospitals, the closest of which is 40 miles away (wasn't originally that way, but the "keep your doctor" provision was absolute bullshit). I would have had to pay 300 had we gone further, but there was a subtle change in the fine print last December, and no one was notified.

The only thing that was covered? Steroid prescription. 35 dollar copay.

If you weren't a worthless parasite on society you'd have a job the either already provided a good health insurance plan with lower premium and probably a lower deductible; or, you could buy your own insurance with more coverage, probably lower deductible, and a lower premium.

Why do Americans put up with your current healthcare systems? Don't you see that it's retarded to have insurance companies, since they obviously need to make a profit off your life and thus will fuck you at every opportunity.

A 2.5% tax to replace the current premiums would offset the cost of it, and you would have a more efficient medical system since the hospitals don't need to go through the insurance companies to treat you. And a healthier workforce is more productive, so it's just the more practical decision. Seriously, this makes me mad, the USA should be the greatest country on earth, but you have dumb fucking shit like a lack of healthcare, and no paypass at cash-registers.

Get your shit together, stop being brainwashed by the lobbyists, and get your local politician to vote for this shit

obamacare forced poor people to have to buy insurance when in reality, people who needed healthcare got it for free and almost always retroactively through medicaid when the person asks for it. when the person no longer needed the healthcare, the medicaid was ended to stop costs based on you on the government until you needed it again. it did nothing for the people, nothing for the hospitals except add tons of rules, and allowed the government to gain another avenue of income from the American people, especially the poor. i am amazed that liberals are so fucking retarded they actually support it when it doesnt even help the people

btw your list is the paperwork you got from the hospital that shows what they did and are charging your insurance company, which will say "THIS IS NOT A BILL". out of pocket you will be paying at most $200 for your hospital visit. i work for a medical group that runs all but a few hospitals in my state in billing administration. that bill list is exactly what it would look like before obamacare, dipshit - its the obamacare - the part forcing you to pay for insurance using its calculations thats the difference and problem. otherwise you would be paying around $120 a month for medication insurance individually and getting a bill for around 8-9% for out of pocket expenses from your insurance company, which you would be making monthly payments on like before obamacare

You pay this much because of all the illegals and minorities using the ER as their free Medicaid clinic.

About 1/3 of the patients you see in the ER have real insurance or an emergency. The rest are illegals or minorities on Medicaid who come in because mama accidentally dropped little Daquan on his head for the 5th time that week or Manuela Garrido Diaz El Quipe Lopez is pregnant with her 6th kid and thinks she has Zika because she got bit by an insect and doesn't realize she's not in Guatemala. Or the town Hispanic got drunk again (what am I saying, they're all alcoholics) and fell down the stairs breaking his ribs for the 20th time. Or one of them stubbed their toe. Or they're just bored and make up their symptoms so they get a free sandwich. Or they are just drug seekers that want some good old IV Morphine and maybe a Percocet prescription to go home with if they're lucky.

Imagine if only certain people had to pay at the drive thru and others paid nothing or only a dime everytime they got a hamburger. They go there everyday for their free meal. Then when you want or need a hamburger they charge you $50 because you can afford it and they need to recoup the costs of being required to give away all those other hamburgers for free.

The health care system here is fucked up. Even if you are near a hospital you will only get covered by in network hospitals, even then thaey might send you somewhere else. My wife is pregnant and we live 5 min away from an in network hospital but they won't let her deliver there, instead they are forcing us to deliver at a hospital that is an hour away without traffic possibly 2 hours if traffic is bad (which it always is depending on the time of day). When we talked with them about this they said, "Many people get hotels near here when they are reaching their due date". Right, a baby is already expensive like we really need to be paying for a hotel for two weeks or more just because they can't get their shit together. If we lived somewhere rural I would understand that more but we don't, we live in a big city. My wife even tried to look into if she could stay at her parents for the end of her pregnancy since they live 10 min away from a hospital that will deliver babies but the insurance company still won't cover it since its an out of network hospital. Also they charge $400 for every ultrasound even though they state that this is a necessity not a luxury thing to do these days, yet the insurance doesn't cover it.

I quite like the health system we have here in Australia. It's not perfect, but it works. A functioning public healthcare system in which you will be treated relatively promptly, for free, if you come in to hospital in an emergency. On the other hand, we also have a well established private system, where if you (or your insurance) pays, you get faster care, your choice of treating specialist, nicer hospitals, etc. And we still have about half the per capita spending on healthcare that the USA does.

That said, there are still plenty of ungrateful shits around. Every time some asshole complains that his operation was delayed by a day because we had no operating theater time left to operate, I really want to just ask them "so how much are you paying to be here again?"

The Obamacare marketplace exchange plans have horrible networks. If you're young and healthy, you're generally better off getting a plan that isn't on the marketplace. Even without the obamacare silver tax credit it's generally cheaper to get a plan elsewhere if you're younger and a guy, and you'll get a better network.

Premium doesn't really have anything to do with how good a plan is. I pay $150/mo for my own coverage and I have a $300 deductible and a strong nationwide network (Aetna Choice POS II), but that's because my work is paying (on average) $10,000/yr for people on that plan.

In New York, Health Republic of NY offered good plans with low rates and a good network. Turns out they were paying high access fees to access a network and what they took in for premiums couldn't cover care, and they went out of business.

>just going to say, this also happens with overstretched public services. There are too many people and not enough doctors/equipment so you also go in and out like cattle.

This can be the case, but people should be well aware that you get what you pay for. I've been working on a plastic surgical unit (public plastic surgery, meaning no cosmetic surgeries, just reconstructive/trauma surgery) which goes through about 100-120 surgeries a week. For the more straightforward operations, it really is like a production line - Come in, get your operation, home same day, see you in a week in our overloaded clinic with 100 other patients to see in about 4 hours. Most people are pretty understanding that they have to wait and that they're getting all this shit for free anyway, but you still get plenty of assholes whining that they haven't been seen fast enough.

Though prevention is always better than a cure, and most of this would be avoidable is people stopped punching lawnmowers and kept their hands away from moving parts on power tools.

My brother is a substitute teacher, he makes peanuts (a little under $20K/yr).

In New York that gets him a $20/mo plan with super low copays. I have great insurance and my primary care doctor copay is $20, his is $10. My generics start at $10 for 30 days, his are $6.

All paid by the nanny state of new york to cover the "medicaid gap" if you make less than $24K/yr.

The obamacare silver subsidy ranges from about $0-$225 a month dependent on your income, but if OP is getting a silver plan and paying under $200/mo then there's a pretty good chance they are getting the tax credit applied to their premium.

The exchange plans have rules that cap the maximum that the oldest/riskiest patient can pay versus a younger one, and caps what a female can be charged over a male of similar demographics. The way this is done is by charging the young and men more on their plans to subsidize it for the more expensive people.

fucking why?
you can't tell me one reason why you should expect a service to be performed for you and you shouldn't have to pay for it.
should your car wash be free?
should your massages, your tech support, your dry cleaning, your food service, your valet parking, etc all be free?
why?
who will pay for your free services?
or should doctors and medical staff just do it out of the goodness of their hearts?

The United States subsidizes Europe's healthcare system.

This. Socialized healthcare is not hard to understand. The money has to come from somewhere. If you're a net beneficiary, that means you're contributing less to society than the average person.

Knowing you will be given medical care even if you sit on your ass is not good for society as a whole. Doubly so when the government imports hostile populations.
>>
>>135768006
>Free

When will you faggots learn that SOMEONE has to pay for it.

I don't want more taxes reaping my paycheck. I worked hard to get where I am, but taxes are fucking killing me already. What could be a $900 paycheck a week ends up only being ~$650 or so. I am living paycheck to paycheck to pay off the fines I owe the IRS, and supporting my own business. I don't get any fucking breaks but yet Haji from Pakistan moves here and gets to start a business for 5 years. Tax free. Then sells it to his cousin that moves here 5 years later.

Fuck off with your "free" bullshit. Get the fuck out of America. Go somewhere else.

Insurance is a fucking scam in the healthcare industry. Insurance used to exist to cover emercencies, ambulance rides, surgeries, etc... It's gotten to a point though where everything is billable through to insurance and the costs for even a check up are ridiculous without it, even more so now that everyone is forced into the marketplace. I don't have car insurance to cover when I buy gas or get a tune up. I have car insurance for when some fucking retard can't be assed to pay attention while driving and fucks my shit up. Health insurance should be the same.
>>
>>135760526

It technically is, no one is refused for not having insurance. Those stories are lies, emergency treatment is an obligation. You dont go to jail for defaulting on healthcare debt. The only americans going without healthcare are the ones who dont know this. If you can afford it you just go anyways and it doesnt matter. I have never had health insurance i just throw the bills in the trash. Since 2005 ive been hospitalized for 2 spider bites, 3 broken bones, several cases of pneumonia, once for bronchitis, twice for seizures, 1 stroke, 1 heart attack, 1 knee replacement, a shoulder replacement and surgery for a blood clot in my leg.

I owe umass memorial 1.3 million dollars. When they call me i tell them im not going to pay, im not going to jail, and there is nothing they can do about it. They argue but i ask, 'is there anything besides this money i will bever give you that needs to be discussed? No? Thanks for playing the game, champ." Then i hang up. Been 12 years, no consequences. Why? Because you can't collect a healthcare debt in the usa, it's inhumane and the bar association won't allow prosecution for healthcare debt. They drop every case that is filed.

So yeah, best healthcare in the world. The corporations pay for it and it costs you literally nothing unless you are fucking brainwashed and think you have to pay your bills.

Be German. Have normal state run health insurance, because private insurance is allowed to discriminate against people with chronic illnesses.

Require surgery in the lower small intestine as a result of Crohn's. Go to hospital and tell them about "state run insurance". They look like "ok, next open slot is in 7 months". I say I am in pain and am afraid to die because of bowel closure due to scaring - as per my gastroenterologist who said surgery should be performed "sooner rather than later". Doctors says "then you should find another hospital".

Ok, fine. Say I pay myself. They give me a surgery appointment in 2 weeks.

Go in there, everything fine. I get out. I get 7 different bills from different doctors and departments (for bloodwork, samples of tissue analysis, the procedure, the hospital bed etc.) costing at total of 2500 euros. Thanks very much.

Me, go to doctor for follow up. "By the way, anon, we better do this surgery again in say 6 weeks, you free?"

Americans think they are the only ones fucked over by their healthcare system. You are wrong, we Germans are fucked just the same way.
