Peak Number Of Americans Delaying Medical Care Over Costs

[peach174]

Universal Single-Payer, what other nations like ours have, is only the answer. If, that is, Americans would ever grow the fuck up, which they won't.

What part of it's expensive and most are broke don't you get?

The people that can afford to come to the U.S.A. to get away from their countries Universal Single Payer health care would disagree with you.
We are the U.S.A. and we should never be like other nations.
Our Federal government should not be running our health care period.

Ideology, dogma, and nothing like dealing with reality. Par for the course.

Facts.
Health Care BS - CANADIANS RUNNING TO U.S. FOR HEALTH CARE
Why is the hip replacement center of Canada in Ohio–at the Cleveland Clinic, where 10% of its international patients are Canadians … Why is Brain and Spine Center in Buffalo serving about 10 border-crossing Canadians a week? - See more at: Health Care BS - CANADIANS RUNNING TO U.S. FOR HEALTH CARE

Non-critical people don't like to wait at times, but they are all covered, unlike here. It's a not perfect solution, it's Public Health. It works for most and that's enough.

Americans want quality health care for all, not a government system that covers everyone and has lousy quality in many areas.

Peak Number Of Americans Delaying Medical Care Over Costs

That's because most Americans would rather die than bankrupt their entire family and leave the next generation or two at the mercy of the streets and trying to climb their way up from the gutter. If you become even mildy in need of some detailed procedures like surgery, that's it. Your offspring are completely screwed and there's an excellent chance that you yourself might lose your home and source of employment.

This is a perverted violation of basic human rights. We have a right to a military, right to police force, right to education, right to fire protection but zero rights to life-saving healthcare. This is the best manifestation of malignant capitalism I could point to. The people involved in bankrupting folks for becoming sick, as all overworked/strapped people will become at some point in their lives, are the true modern day slavemasters. Actually, I take that back. Slaves were valuable and their prudent "owners" probably took greater pains to see to their wellbeing than our politicians do to the general public today..

Very progressive of you.

What part of it's expensive and most are broke don't you get?

If there are those that can't pay for it now, what makes you think they will pay for USP?

Who pays for Universal single payer health insurance?

Everyone. And guess who gets it? Everyone. Nice eh...

If there are those that can't pay for it now, what makes you think they will pay for USP?
Will it be ran like the other government programs? The VA comes to mind.

Yes, and it's a pretty damn good system when the cannon fodder of unnecessary wars doesn't overwhelm it and you little bastards actually give it the dollars it needs, which you won't.

What makes you think I am a little bastard? My mom and dad were married. Can you say the same fuckface?

As far as paying for it, I would assume it would be a mandatory deduction from the paycheck of all those that are gainfully employed, just like Soc Sec and Medicare.

"
One in three Americans has put off seeking medical treatment in 2014 due to high costs, according to Gallup — the highest percentage since Gallup began asking the question in 2001.

Thirty-three percent of Americans have delayed medical treatment for themselves or their families because of the costs they’d have to pay, according to the survey. Obamacare, of course, had promised that it would help make health care more affordable for everyone, but the number of people who can’t afford a trip to the doctor has actually risen three points since 2013, before most Obamacare provisions took effect."

Nuh-UH!!!!!!

If you could explain to me why we have a healthcare system that allows insurance companies to siphon away billions of dollars that would otherwise go to providing health care, I would love to hear it.

Health Care Plan type of insurance companies are near the bottom of the profit records in the whole health care sector at 4.4%. Medicare and Medicaid allow more fraud than that measly 4.4% by several multiples. Health care insurers bring some discipline and efficiency to medical care without which goes missing thus driving the cost of medical or health care up.

The mere fact that any government plan put into effect causes increases in the cost of health care and that people have to back off of getting proper care is a strong witness to that.

You know that I'm a middle voter. This shouldn't surprise you. There are some of us who actually think with our brains on each subject as it presents itself; instead of kneejerk spewing talking points from our "team" like our collective fate is some kind of hockey match with no real consequences.

You are 100% right about profit ratios..and that's after they've paid out 80% of premiums in CLAIMS... but idiots who can't even count without their shoes off don't get it!!
As far as Medicare... I KNOW Medicare and the gigantic fallacy about how f...king efficient i.e. 3% admin costs for Medicare??? BULLCra..P!
Medicare pays NOT one single claim! The 1 billion claims a year are handled by for profit contractors that AFTER losing money on their Medicare contracts make up from employer business plans!
Proof on how f..kup ACA/Obamacare??
Obama said
"Up to half of all Americans have a pre-existing condition," another gross lie! Numbers don't lie.

Half of 310 million is 155 million according to Obama have a pre-existing condition...
BUT pre-existing conditions are NOT a FACTOR for the 85% (233 million) of Americans have health insurance!

Another ignorant acceptance by the "stupidity of American voter" in believing A bald face lie that was used
to convince the stupid american voter of the crisis in health insurance that was only solvable by Obamacare!

But stupid american voters NEVER questioned that statement and furthermore the insurance industry has proven that
a total of 1.5 million Americans who were denied health insurance or paid higher premiums due to pre-existing conditions.
Obama s Pre-existing Conditions Whopper - Forbes
1.5 million NOT 155 million or up to half of All Americans have denied for pre-existing! Total bald faced LIE!

Use the Internet...look it up and find out WHY hospitals OVER CHARGE Medicare sometimes 6,000% in mark ups!
WHY??? Do some work idiot and find out what EMTALA start in 1986...by the way A GOP congress passed it thinking THEY WERE DOING SOME GOOD!
F...K they just created an avalanche of wasted bills that hospitals well read what a former CEO of a hospital said about EMTALA....

"How do hospitals deal with the cost of the uninsured? Like any business, we pass it on to the paying customers.”
