No
Sick people should be treated
Period
Healthcare is healthcare. You don’t open the door for insurers to cherry pick their clients. Insure one, you insure all.....no exceptions
You idiot. I said They should pay more. I did Not say they should not be insured. You should pay more than me for example because you’re old and unhealthy.
If what insurance companies feel those people should pay is something that they can't afford (seeing as tho tons of families are going bankrupt due to medical bills) -- you are basically saying they shouldn't be insured.....
Everyone has access to health care, doesn't mean its affordable for them to access it....
First, what you said is just flat out not true.
People are simply not just going bankrupt left and right because of health care costs. It was a lie from the very start.
I personally read the report, where they made this claim. The research paper that this made up myth came from, was entirely flaws from the very start.
For example, they included any bankruptcy in which $500 or more was due to medical bills.
Further, they did not look at how much other debt the individual had.
Do you see someone filing bankruptcy on $500? Of course not. The cost of the bankruptcy itself, would be almost as much as the medical debt.
Additionally, even if you had $2,000 in medical debt, and you owned $100,000 in credit cards, and a car loan and other debts.... is that a medical bankruptcy? Were you really filing just because of the $2,000 in medical bills? Or was it the $100K in other debt?
Lastly, and most importantly, they included bankruptcy that was caused, not by medical bills, but because of missing work. So if you had insurance good enough to cover all your medical bills completely, but you missed 2 months of work, and ended up filing bankruptcy because you had no income..... that was also included as a medical bankruptcy.
The entire thing was ridiculous. The idea that millions of people are going bankrupt because of medical bills, is flat out false, and a myth.
Not true.
