Burgers getting fucked for a longtime on their healthcare.
1) Pre-existing conditions. You need a operation, suddenly they check your backround and that cough you had 18 years ago counts as pre-existing condition, so you lied on your application. Operation denied! >b-but i-i paid p-premiums for y-years! Yea well should have told us about the cough, kbye
2) Getting asked for your creditcard before you even enter the ambulance 3) Massive deductibles 4) Still having to pay, even when you have insurance
So Obama tried to be a good boy and change all this for everyone. Hey if Europe can do this (UK, Germany, Belgium, Toothpaste country), why can't we?
My full-never-pay-out-of-own-pocket health insurance is mandatory, cant not have insurance. Its 102 a month, but because i'm a student and earn less than xx.xxx a year. I get 78 subsidized.
Obama tried this too and it worked for like 3 months. Then the insurance companies found laws to bend and money to be made and eventually charged whatever they wanted.

Yup, there are even people who have Obamacare and say it's the worst shit in the world. It's funny when people say that they won't repeal it without a replacement because that's a fucking lie. It's just going to get repealed and the insurance companies are going to go righty back to fucking us in the ass. I called this shit a long time ago, drumphkins don't want America made great again they just want to see it burn because lady liberty won't cook them their tendies

Can someone seriously explain these prices.
I've had similar procedures to these (cat scan, er visit, etc) and paid out of pocket but the bill ran up under 2500. Still high but nothing compared to this?
Where are the prices so high? Also >going to the fuck ER for stomach pain People need to realize the ER is for fucking emergencies, too bad it's generally the first place people see when they enter a hospital and hospitals are ever so glad to treat people in it cause the prices are so high.
Robert Peterson
My mom had a CT scan, paid zero They found out she needs a metal leg Paid zero
Lets face it. Whatever you guys are going to bring. The insurance companies will still find ways to buttfuck you And otherwise they will just do a 'campaign donation' for someone else
Dominic Murphy
She paid in her taxes, but yes I'm not arguing with you I'm sure it came out to less than probably what I paid.
The insurance companies are the devil in the US
Jacob Davis
Many reasons
1. The malpractice insurance that doctors pay because unscrupulous lawsuits 2. The cost of the equipment has been inflated and the cost passed down to you 3. Refusal of companies to compete 4. Marketing which shames only Americans for some reason and tricks them into paying more for health services that people around the rest of the world don't 5. Lobbyists paying politicians to look the other way
Evan Ramirez
Insurance companies should not even be involved with this because insurance is usually used for catastrophic events, just look at other types of insurances. The price of health care is the problem itself, it is too high and shouldn't be.

I've been to the emergency room like 8 times in the last two years. Total bill is little more than 10k. OP pic is getting ripped off.
Levi King
We can narrow all of American's healthcare problems down to one thing.
The fact that you can sue anyone for anything at anytime, and not be scared to lose. Because whoever you sue, pays there own defense, regardless of the victor and lawyers do not take civil cases unless they know they are going to win....so insurance costs a fucking ton for doctors.
Julian Jones
Nearly 7k for CAT scan. Fucking theives. In UK CAT scan is approx $500.
Levi Morgan
>>going to the fuck ER for stomach pain going to ER to try and trick the staff into giving me more opiates because i am dope sick and its so terrible. Need more sick to keep me sick so i dont feel sick for 3 days.
Caleb Hall
been to the ER once, never going again, 3 grand for 8 stitches and a tetinus shot. Glad i tracked bloody footprints through out the whole damn hospital when dad dropped me off on wrong side ofhospital.
Cut off wheel with no guard on the tool exploded and went through front of shin, hit bone and came out side. pretty bloody.
Asher Perez
Wtf I love ancap now
Nolan Jenkins
>still burgers defend healthcare bills like this lel They have no insurance you retard. Look at the top. Get health insurance and it won't be a problem. Most employers give employees free health insurance. If you're complaining about this, it's probably because you don't have a fucking job. Also you're not even in America, which is why you hate on it so much. If you lived here instead of the shithole you're currently in, you wouldn't be such a jealous cunt.
Kevin Johnson
CAT scans here cost €200-€250 depending on which body part.
I have a feeling healthcare providers in the US just asks whatever the fuck the can get away with.
First they save your life, then they ruin it.
Ryan Gomez
Why in the fucking hell do we expect employers to provide health care for us? Does this make any sense in any world? And why only employers with more than 49 employees?
They don't pay for my mortgage, my groceries, my car insurance, or my property taxes. They don't pay for my kid's schools, for my gasoline to get to work, for lawn mowing, or the new roof for my house. But health insurance? THAT'S YOUR EMPLOYER'S JOB.
I don't get it.
William Foster
Maybe you shouldn't fucking waste people's time at the emergency for stupid shit like stomach pain. Take a shit, swallow some fucking anti-acids and you're gonna save 12k$ or take an appointment with your physician. People here go to the emergency for free and they go for dumb fucking shit such as stomach pains and it costs everyone a lot of fucking money. >I'm sneezing, better go to ER!
ERs are always fucking full or retards with too much time on their hands.I only went to ER 3 times in the last 9 years. Once for an appendicitis, once for a tooth abscess and another for a broken finger. Some people (usually elderly or on welfare) are there weekly.
I'd rather have to pay a private insurance and keep these fucking retards out of ER than have to pay a quarter of my pay for these fucking idiots. Free healthcare coverage insurance in the US would fuck the country's economy because ER would get fucking filled with the kind of leeches we have here.
Ian Long
Nothing is free, your employers negotiate pricing and you pay however much your company was charged. Also stop shilling, you know you are getting ripped off but you are too proud to admit it. There is a reason why the rest of the world thinks Americans are retards when it comes to money.
Dylan Reed
Of course nothing is free you dipshit. When you have free healthcare you're also getting ripped off there too through taxes. It's the same end result which is why trying to argue for one being superior over the other is a waste of time.
Carson Cooper
giving the US universal healthcare wouldnt make it cheaper. Sanders' plan was going to cost $18 trillion dollars over a decade. you'd still be paying for insanely expensive healthcare, only through taxation instead. insurance companies would still be making ridiculous money, better perhaps as i think they'd further monopolise the market.
you guys should be protesting for de-regulated healthcare, to practise a doctor needs a license from an association that deliberately hands out very few of them, allowing the doctors with one to inflate their prices.
Ryder Reed

Nurse practitioners provide the majority of health care these days. Docs just walk into the room after you've been waiting there 20 minutes, ask you ten questions, tell you "good job" and hand you a bill for $700.
t. fractured, ORIF'd collarbone 3 years ago. Billed at $34,000. My deductible and OOP co-pay was $7000. Insurance settled rest for $14,000. Thank god I wasn't a "cash" customer.

>living off of welfare People who work for a living and pay taxes can't afford insurance because they are footing the bill for worthless niggers like you.
Owen Parker
The price is spread out over millions of people rather than hundreds or thousands of people, even if you have a small percentage free-riding the cost is still negligible. Having 70,000,000 pay for health insurance through taxes is far better than trying to have a single company with only a few thousand people trying to pay for the same thing.
Xavier Sanchez
I only went to the ER once in the last 5 years and that was when a dog ripped a 7 inch long hole in my leg a 1/4" off my artery. Have pretty good insurance, still received a $5k bill.
Michael Davis
the medical industry is a scam meant to decrease the population, just like feminism and other degeneracy
why would you think they would want it to actually succeed in healing people?
its part of the depopulation agenda
and that is why the west is seducing migrants to a trap the policies of the west are based on coordinated and militarily-engineered depopulation effort
the migrants are being brought in not to thrive in your countries, but to become the next batch of victims to the depopulation machine
successful depopulation policies include: >peddling homosex, feminism >creating economic crisis >increasing cancer rates (cancer is now as common as the flu), suppressing cures >chemtrails, gmo etc
Oliver Miller
Hospitals jack up prices because they don't expect you, the patient to be the one actually paying that much.
two things you need to consider is that millions of shitskins get healthcare and just don't pay for it and insurance companies negotiate prices down.
if you actually ask your doctor how much a procedure will cost or simply tell the hospital that you won't be able to pay the full bill, they almost always give you a lower price that is significantly more manageable. most people that don't have insurance just lack the agency to negotiate with a hospital.

>getting a fucking cat scan and ultra sound without insurance >visiting the ER when it's not an emergency Those are the person's fault and would have reduced the price by over $10000

Gabriel Harris
>millions of shitskins get healthcare and just don't pay for it Exactly, but the insurance companies know this and will not dare to speak out against it because of the political implications. These people will get a free pass no matter what. I guess you can say health industry truly is racist, to white people. White people dare not speak out against the people screwing them over because words hurt them, if you complain your health care is too much then you are labeled a commie, you mouth gets shut.
Ryder Myers
>Statist faggot >NOTHING IS FREE
Of course it's not free but if we are going to go into debt I'd rather it be for paying for my education and health rather than ..... Roads....... And ........... Something about ..... For get it
Austin Davis
Americans don't protest. The issue you point out, is the real unseen cost in health care, that virtually no one knows about, or cares to do anything about. The problem is that health care does work, for the few times it is needed, for the wealthy and job secure middle class. It is the working poor and young adults. without benefits/job security, who get fucked. I fear that this issue will get a lot worse before we elect politicians that will socialize the system. We probably are still a decade or two away from reaching that boiling point.
Christian Kelly
American's love to give CT scans when it's not needed. They don't even think about the 100x an x-ray dose.

Kevin Jenkins
In 1971, when President Richard M. Nixon initiated the War on Cancer, the average person had a 1 in 10 risk of developing cancer in his or her lifetime. Today, that's changed – for the worse. The risk as of 2005 is 1 in 2.
this is the major cause of rapid decline in western populations
cancer is now as common as the flu, that is intentional. the existing cures for cancer are intentionally suppressed.
the great culling/poisoning orchestrated by CIA, CFR, etc has led to dramatic population declines. the genocide machine is being refueled by new immigrants to pack into the poison chambers

Matthew Martinez
The answer since nobody posted here is that niggers and spics eat up an insanely disproportionate amount of healthcare. Hell some states were signing fucking ILLEGAL ALIENS up for bozocare. Deep down wed like single payer gommie care as that is the surest way of removing jewery from the equation but due do how fucking insolvent the fast majority of Browns are this makes the most fiscal and moral sense relative to being taxed to oblivion like Europoors
You'll all find out when you're 60% with none of the individual freedoms to boot

Yeah, burger flipping is working poor tier. You should aspire to something greater. I'm finishing a BA in two years. I'm looking into law enforcement or teaching. I'm hoping my government provided health care will be as close to medicaid as possible.

You know how many other kinds of jobs exist besides flipping burgers?
Go learn HVAC or something if you don't want university. Drive a truck for UPS they help with education. Hell fucking uber pays more and you're your own boss.

if we taxed you for the US nuclear protection you enjoy, or for rescuing your entire continent, or securing the sea lanes your people trade on (but produce no navy to protect), or our expired patents your government and companies use to provide you healthcare, or simply didn't do any of this for you, we could easily afford to provide this for ourselves, and you'd stop having it.
which do you wish?
Brody Murphy
That means you payed too much.
Jaxson Johnson
When will retards realize that insurance companies caused these tremendous prices. If you morons (I mean our parent probably) never paid for insurance there wouldn't ever have been a damn problem.
Luis Peterson
You know what's funniest? Americans, per capita, pay the most in the world for health but their healthcare is ranked below 30th place by WHO. They were totally brainwashed into believing that this is okay.
Charles Phillips
No one realizes the ticking time bomb which is the American health. Not healthcare but health. Americans are slowly consuming themselves to death because they have been given shit educations and even brainwashed.
It's one of the reasons most americans get 3/4 of their calories from carbs.
Landon Gonzalez
For some reason, some Americans always feel compelled to defend the (really, really shitty) healthcare system and I can't for the love of me figure out why. It would be pretty easy for politicians on both sides of the aisle to get together and come up with a real, complete overhaul for this atrocity. Something that actually makes sense and is based on actual data and evidence, not on partisan ideology. I don't understand what they think they have to lose by starting from scratch, they're already pay more than anyone else.
Parker Robinson
And when they say "that's why we have best healthcare", what a load of bullshit. I never heard of someone going to USA for complex operation. It's always Germany or Switzerland.

>mfw euros wait 3 months to see a doctor about a lump since no one pays for visits, they clog the shit out of the system and cause huge delays, but at least gypsies get healthcare, and everyone gets the same substandard healthcare as the gypsies unless you decide to go private, in which case you pay twice over :)
>mfw doctors make like 60k euro a year in london and protest regularly because the shitty system is collapsing
>mfw ppl dont realize that if the doctor doesnt have to please anyone or answer to anyone, he can do as shitty of a job as he wants and you have no recourse unless you want to wait another year for a recommendation to a specialist or what have you
Gavin Thomas
I don't know about your country but over here it keeps getting worse. If you don't have private health care unless you don't have some life threatening illness you will be put on a waiting list. I spend 6 months waiting to get an operation for a hernia. Had to use long service leave because it was too painful to work. Once I went back I started paying for private health insurance
Ryan Long
I think I've heard of that, and their high-end healthcare ("the best doctors") really is very good and very well-funded and well-staffed. The problem is that a) not all doctors are equally good, b) the good doctors tend to concentrate in big, prestigious hospitals (that's the same everywhere I guess) and c) shit's way too expensive for a bunch of reasons.
Evan Perez
Not everything is free like in Europe where no one does anything and the government provides for your entire life.
US citizens don't want to pay for free loaders.
Carter Adams
They jack up the prices super high because they know the insurance company will only end up paying a fraction of it. This severely fucks over people who don't have insurance with insanely high bills.
Chase Davis
Socialised health care I'd a meme. Unless you're dying, shit like this is all that happens to you and you have to pay for all the accessories anyway. Britain literally gave up any chance it had of salvaging global influence by paying for this bloated waste of space, so be prepared that the minute you do it will be the minute you lose the world to China.
Just because you have a fancy thing it doesn't mean you need to use the thing on everyone.
>morphine for stomach pain Well Ok then.
Way I see it, it's mostly a problem of hospitals doing tests that are not needed and handing the bill to the patients. But that new shiny MRI isn't gonna buy itself!
Landon Jones
>$6867 cat scan >used to be $5000-ish in 2008
>$10 of electricity per scan >$30 of operator wage per scan >$100 for doctor to sneeze on screen >$4000 because fuck sick people
Technology, folks! Look how its made everything cheaper!
Ryder King
how are you to diagnose stomach pain that the patient wont describe anything about? they also expect people to have insurance so it's not supposed to matter that much
if it's bad enough he had to go to the ER it's bad enough they're goign to do scans, it's not just 'give him morphine and call it a day'
Thomas Hill
One of Canadas fucking PMs came here you mong. Europoors and Canuks come here all the time because the fuckers get tired of waiting months for a procedure. Health care and medical care are not the same shit.
The Americans that defend health care are more than likely working under an employer who provides insurance unlike the other lazy niggers that bitch for moar gibs
Nolan Smith
That's because the WHO factors in things like muh accessibility and not outcomes. There is a reason Canadians with money come here, it's because waitlists with every degenerate mudslide on board don't seem so hot when you have money and need orthopaedic surgery ASAP. Fucking Berlusconi came here (not Germoney or mountainjew) when he needed his ticker fixed. Go look up how long Canadians have to wait for shit that gets done pronto here if you have any semblance of providing for yourself, then kys
only a handful of european countries compare to the US on number per capita of these machines, and in MRI's, are BTFO
i guess you could just die in line instead of having the ability to pay
