america the free, and the greed (35)
methuzelah: this woman called a hospital, emergency, she asked, do you accept my health
insurance? yes we do. the woman landed at ER appendicitis.
a while later, she received a bill for $4202. She called hospital, what this bill?
hospital said, sorry, so sorry honey, we do accept your health insurance, but the
doctor that did the surgery, he doesn't, we're so sorry honey. The woman called
her health insurance, she was told, sorry honey, we can't forced hospitals, doctors
to accept our plans. She didn't pay, so they collected the money from her salary.
Thank goodness I'm a veteran. I had same surgery 8 years ago, I paid $8.00
for medication only. America, I can't live without you. GREED, is the word.
The thing that makes you angry is the price of medical drugs like insulin 20 years ago and the prices of the same drugs nowinsurance? yes we do. the woman landed at ER appendicitis.

Just yesterday I was reading about the history of insulin discovery and its prices that were previously affordable and the prices that many patients were unable to obtain.
Some have lost their lives, some have become poor after selling their property, and some have been traveling to Mexico to get insulin at a cheaper price
Capitalism is very ugly when it comes to education and health

I have lived in the US before and I must agree. Health care there is all about greed which is why you will never be able to change it.
The taxes here, by the way are about the same which I paid in California.
Still, you get what you vote for

"hospital said, sorry, so sorry honey, we do accept your health insurance, but the doctor that did the surgery, he doesn't, we're so sorry honey."
Sounds like the patient was deliberately misled. Good thing we don't have national socialized medicine here, because then you wouldn't be free to "choose your own doctor."

Having no healthcare encourages you to become immortal, don't you realise? We can see in your private healthcare system just how strongly the values of personal responsiblity are maintained, the American people look like Greek gods.insurance? yes we do. the woman landed at ER appendicitis.

Yes but we are free to choose our own doctor. I did.. You only knock free universal health care because you haven't got it and you never will. Your Senators have though lol. University education is free here too by the way which probably makes your blood boil too.Sounds like the patient was deliberately misled.

When I lived in the US I developed cataracts in both eyes. I would have had to have paid there to have them removed.
I returned to Sweden and it cost me just 250 SEK which is less than 30 dollars. That covered the lot from start to finish. There was no waiting time or endless form filling in either.
I am sorry your government is too poor to give you free universal medicare, but it is not the fault of countries which do have it. Like I wrote, you get what you vote for.
