The major problem was that politicians and the public NEVER understood how health insurance works!
Obamacare was destined to fail. Without young healthy people coughing up $3,000-$4,000 a year in premiums and over $6,000 total before the lame ass bronze plan pays even one dime there's no money to pay for the sick people and moochers. Do young healthy people just getting started in life have that kind of cash laying around? Hell no lol.
AND do they NEED health insurance ?
But Obama LIED about 46 million uninsured when he counted 18 million under 34 that made over $50,000 and DIDN"T WANT or NEED health insurance!
Plus one of the simplest and cheapest methods of reducing health expenses is COMMON SENSE being taught in schools, i.e. how to respond to dangerous situations.
For example don't do stupid ass activities that WILL put your health at risk!
Simple things like teaching kids DON"T DO THESE things!
The researchers examined data spanning two decades and found that more than
64,500 U.S. children and teens were treated in hospital emergency rooms each year -- about
176 a day --
for skateboarding-related injuries. Fractures and dislocations were among the most common injuries, the study indicated.Apr 27, 2016
Skateboard accidents land scores of kids in the ER every day
And that is just "skateboarding"!
But no matter what you call it,
ATV riding is a risky pastime, sending nearly a quarter of a million fans of these all-terrain vehicles -- 2
30,666 to be exact -- to the hospital in 2010 [Source:
NEISS].
The popularity of cycling, from training wheels to extreme mountain biking, lends itself to the higher number of injuries and a chart-topping
541,746 ER trips.
But there's one more factor that makes cycling more
dangerous than any other sport: other vehicles.
(Personal note!... These bike riders that insist on being considered like a car i.e. riding in a car lane while a perfectly good sidewalk borders them! Most disgusting!)
5 Most Dangerous Recreational Sports (with the most ER visits)
Just these 3 activities count for over
836,912 trips to hospital emergency rooms at an average emergency room cost of :
$1,233.
Uninsured patients face additional charges for things like x-rays, shots, lab tests or casting a broken bone. As a result, the costs for their care can be much higher. Average emergency room costs vary wildly based on treatment, but a 2013 National Institute of Health study put the median cost at
$1,233.
Consider this as a total estimate cost of stupid dumb activities that cost over $1,031,912,496 estimated! Any wonder health premiums continue to climb?
