Majority of debtors to US hospitals now people with health insurance

Analysts say a ‘sea change’ occurred in the American healthcare system from when only a tenth of debt came from the insured

Truly dystopian. It must be terrifying to live under this threat even when you pay a lot for insurance.
Meanwhile the number of people in the uk with medical debt is steady at 0.
Thoughts and prayers.

Medical bankruptcy is nothing new here Tommy ~S~

Some of us have been condemning this for years.

Not surprising, its a feature of America's Risky Obamacare Medical Scheme. The ACA forces people into ultrahigh deductible policies. B. Hussein O's plan lifted all limits on the upside, but that meant the insurance companies had to raise the deductible on the downside.

I thought you were covered if you had insurance ?

Now this problem pre-existed Obamacare but from the beginning it was noted that many who got insurance through Obamacare couldn't afford to use it because of the high deductibles and co-pays.

They've been a part of the discussion for a long time.

If we keep the insurance thru employers then in a way they will keep people in the workforce far linger than they should be in the workforce. We are in a time where we need people retiring in their early 50s. But because of health insurance people stay working. A form of forcing labor?

A good, satisfying bowel movement is dystopian to you, shit head. You Brit bastards let a child die recently rather than let him seek treatment elsewhere. https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/25/health/alfie-evans-appeal-bn?cid=ios_app

THAT is dystopian, you stupid fucker.

So it comes down to the rich vs the middle and lower classes then.

The health insurance companies have been getting away w/murder in this country for decades.

When I talk about the two criminal gangs who rob and shit on The People, health care is a superb example.

The US is the only so-called first world country without affordable health care.

The Democrats' corporate authored ACA is a cruel joke, whereas the Republican non-response to the issue is simply cruel.

For being the greatest nation on earth we've never figured out health care. A sad statement about this nation.

How do you make such a wild leap like that? Totally illogical.

If our health insurance worked on true market principles rather than pursuant to the ACA, people could afford better insurance. My private individual policy premium skyrocketed under the ACA and remains high. People raise their deductibles in order to afford it. If you have a $10k, then you are on the hook for that amount. Hell, I remember when I had a $500 deductible. Today that would cost me $3-4k monthly, maybe more.

Use your head, moron.

Nothing is free. You make a straw man.

The late John McCain is the patron saint of the ACA.

I pay now and have no problem paying going forward.

You have nothing but lame insults.
