All insurance is getting someone else to pay for it.How to lower your medical bills?
Get someone else to pay for it...
WTF do YOU know about what "medical insurance" is? Medical insurance is a MARKET CHOICE function. Goobermint HealtCare is a trap for dummies who believe POLITICIANS are omnipotent and wise.
Not EVERYBODY NEEDS the same access or coverage. Insurance allows like minded people to pool together VOLUNTARILY rather than all being forced into the same public pool... I can elect to cover the 1st $500 or $5000 and short circuit the insurance for that much IF I NEED medical services. And the premiums would be that much lower.
Counting on government to manage and report accurately and efficiently on medical demand is a fool's errand. Ends up in perversions of reality like.....
Tens of thousands of NHS patients enduring long ambulance waits
Almost 59,000 patients in England have endured long ambulance waits before being admitted to A&E this winter, according to NHS figures.
Data from the end of November to 24 December revealed that the number of people who waited 30 minutes or longer reached 58,845. Of those, 12,188 waited more than an hour to be seen.
Hospitals are struggling to stick to stringent rules brought in for this winter by NHS England and NHS Improvement, which demand that no patient should have to wait more than 15 minutes.
Now you cheeky bastard -- this is NOT JUST routine care. This is folks with potential IMMINENT life-threatening emergencies.. WHY are they being held in an ambulance line?
Because the Hospital needs to PLEASE the goobermint bean counters with only a 15 minute waiting period inside the fucking hospital..
You maybe think your political leaders are super-hero medical systems designers. They are NOT.. Keep your fantasies to yourself. We LIKE folks building new hospitals and clinics because they are NEEDED. Not because they are just a part of large goobermint budgeting battle...
