“Don’t get sick. It’s too expensive.”

âDonât get sick. Itâs too expensiveâ: medical debt is putting more Americans in financial crisis

Although both leading presidential candidates have discussed healthcare, neither has directly tackled its biggest issue

www.theguardian.com

Over the last decade, insurers and employers have pushed more cost-sharing onto individuals and families. Now, squeezed by medical costs and inflation, more than 100 million Americans have medical debt and roughly the same proportion report avoiding a prescription because of it.

100 million is an incredible number.
It sounds like a living nightmare. Nobody seems to be sticking up for the patient in this rip off culture.

The person waiting for a kidney transplant has my sympathy. I am waiting for a transplant but I thank the Lord that I am not concerned about the cost of it, maybe losing my house as well.

Maybe trump has the answer to all of this but he isnt saying ? Biden is mute as well. Why do people put up with this ?

But in reality as the article points out, xidenflation really has hurt…but that’s across the board from medicine, to groceries

If you think inflation is a biden issue then you are an infant.
What is trumps great plan ?

Biden signed off on trillions of government spending and you don’t blame him at all? He and Trump approved over $5 trillion, most of it approved by Biden and you see no correlation?

Neither the Democrats or Republicans have a plan, they are bought by big insurance to not ever let health care become affordable.

Thats about the size of it. No good guys in this story. Just victims.

If you don't attribute inflation to Biden's spending policies (facilitated by a Democrat Congress) then you need to learn a little bit more about simple economics. Fiat money = inflation. It's not complicated.

The Guardian is one of the least reliable sources of information in the spectrum of what is publicly available. This article grossly cherrypicks information and examples to make the point that they dare not utter: WE THINK THE U.S. SHOULD HAVE SOCIALIZED MEDICINE!

Puzzle me this: If repeal of ACA will result in MILLIONS OF AMERICANS BEING WITHOUT HEALTH INSURANCE, how does that square with MOST AMERICANS DON'T HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE?

There is no easy answer the the rapid escalation of healthcare costs because it has a number of different reasons. Spending totals are skewed by the fact that once you go on Medicare, the Medical Industry (and I use that word intentionally) sees you as a CASH COW. Fully 25% of all medical spending in the U.S. is expended on elderly people in the last 90 days of their lives. "We" routinely do major surgeries on people who have a short time left to live, even if the surgery is successful. Geezers live out the last weeks or even months of their lives in hyper-expensive ICU's.

Foreigners (and most Americans) are unaware of the fact that under our Constitution, Congress lacks the power to implement a compulsory national health insurance program...but Democrats care little about such trivialities.

Not to worry, Biden is giving debt relief to graduates at Harvard.

That's a good thing. We certainly don't need more poorly educated Sunday school graduates.

So, we need to focus on the other 75 percent of medical costs and bring them down by learning about health and getting healthier. It's not rocket science.

We also have to examine carefully who is getting medical care and why. ER visits by drug overdoses, gunshot victims, and other foolish injuries are a big expense that is passed on to others.

The abuse of insurance is one of the chief costs are so high....Back in the day, it was known as "hospitalization insurance", but now there are the demands that insurance pay for everything anytime you interact with someone in a lab coat.

Who will earn a $million more in their lifetime than many who are going to pay for this relief.

You criticise the source and yet you omit to mention what they got wrong.

I know right, my son should have taken better care of his pancreas when he was 10 so it would not have stopped producing insulin

We have those things over here and yet medical bankruptcies are steady at zero.

Medical debt is the disaster, People getting ripped off so that corporations can make a profit.

 

[Blaster]

Poor lifestyle choices like smoking, drinking, sugar consumption and lack of exercise is responsible for health problems.

Nonsense. We need to join the rest of the civilized world.

It is incredible that there are so many obese people in society.
