>Minor procedure
>Over 60k

I wanna see the cost of a major procedure.

Nah just put a bullet in my head and carry on.

>implying that even with UHS, the state would actually be willing to chop off the rest of that bill instead of giving it to niggers and rapefugees

>Cedars-Sinai

As the son of a Jewish doctor, I can tell you right now that if you don't have good money or insurance you shouldn't go to a Jewish hospital.

>72,000 dollars for a room.
5 star hotels are cheaper than that.

5 star hotels don't preform surgery or after care, though.

The cost for those are separate, so you can't say they're included in the cost of the room.

I wonder what the actual value of these services are, as opposed to these arbitrary costs. Which are NOT dictated by the free market, since no patient ever actually pays this. They either don't pay, or their insurance pays, deferring the cost across all their clients.

I finally had my gynecomastia surgery today at 11:30 Texas time. Total bill was $4108, after my insurance came in, it cost $2108. Not obobocare. I have private insurance and had to wait 2 weeks just to be approved. Texas is a good state for hospital costs

just kill yourself if you need that much health care

Do what I do and be a nigger.

>Wear my worst clothes
>Go to ER
>They have to see me
>Give fake name
>Get my treatment (was having breathing problems)
>Try to bill me, can't
>Government picks it up

wtf. i hope my country is never goes down the american path

>>Government picks it up

Not even. Hospitals just write it up as a loss which is "tax deductible" as long as those total taxes are less than what they'd have to pay in taxes, which is massive.

Anyone who actually pays these hospital bills when they don't have insurance is a chump.

Appendicitis removal was like couple hundred out of pocket for me.

>you have to pay money to have a surgery

Do they ask for addresses and stuff? what do you give them?

Tell them your homeless. They can't turn you away no matter how bullshit your problem is.

Some homeless do it for a free meal and a warm place to stay when the weather is particularly bad.

The fuck you're paying taxes for, if you have to pay for healthcare?

i think you would have to pay for that as well, it's an elective surgery, basically cosmetic surgery, altho some jew out of it and say they have constant pain and can get it covered

>occupational therapy
>$762.90
what the fuck

Why the fuck shouldn't we pay for services rendered? Why should we expect that shit to be free?

More importantly, why should a substantial portion of my wages be paying for some other shitty person's surgery?

Really sad that hard-working, honest US citizens have to worry about such a basic thing as health-care. The whole insurance system is corrupted and flawed.

Here if you feel self-conscious you get free surgeries:^)

The military I suppose

>Insurance pays the whole bill
>Hospital gets back everything they mark on those sheets
>You as a patient are required to pay the entire fee as listed

I know shits fucked, but its all a game hospitals and insurance pay. Hospitals mark everything they want and insurance chooses what they want to pay. If you have something done that you cannot pay for, you are able to haggle it down to a point, especially if you are actually financially insecure.

>The fuck you're paying taxes for
don't be stupid. who is going to defend israel and pay for their free healthcare?

it doesn't just fall from sky. back to work goyim. Welcome to JEWSA.

Is that a lot?

So what the hell is going on with US healthcare, then? Why are some bills reasonable and some insane? Is it down to the state? Or the choice of hospital? How does it even work -- surely the doctors at the Jew hospitals would be making ten times as much as the doctors at the reasonable hospitals, so why does anyone work at the latter? The entire set up makes no sense.

OP do you live in Los Angeles or Beverly hills?

>its all a game
would you mind calling hospital for me and telling game is up?

Is 200k a lot ? You can bet my ass it is a lot, I'm 20k eurobux in debt and I already feel like shit because of it

They take a pretty big chunk of change out of my paychecks for medicare costs, so that might be it.

It really is. It's pretty sad I have to pretend I'm homeless (although I am pretty broke) to get healthcare, otherwise I'd be in the red and behind on everything.

Something to know about America is if you don't have to provide a legal identity, don't, as they'll somehow try to pin it on you.

I remember I was in a minor car crash once, no one was hurt, but an ambulance came out. I refused to speak with them, as I knew they'd try to charge me. Tried tricking me into giving them my name and all this, but after I didn't, they spoke with the cops and got the information and still tried to bill me $1000 dollars. They didn't drop the bill until I threatened to sue them.

Healthcare is absolute bullshit in the United States.

jesus christ , she should have went top down and fixed that fucked up face first.

In America you are charged $1000 just to walk in the door. No joke.

how much does insurance cost in the U.S to cover everything? (other than cosmetic surgery, etc).
i am planning to move to america in the next few years.
inb4 'fuck off we're full'

their wages and assistive technology used/hired im guessing

You just hurt her feelings

Now she'll have a legitimate reason to petition the NHS for plastic surgery

Ahhhhh Liberalism

I wish we had this in Canada. People abuse the shit out of the healthcare system, driving its costs up drastically. Even if it was just 200$ or so it would give people pause and maybe not go in just cause their kid has a cough or they have a fever.

But where goes all that money?

One of the things we're always told is to get a job that provides healthcare. So if you're moving here, then you'd need to get a job with healthcare otherwise it's not really a job worth having.

>participates in one of the biggest problems with healthcare prices in the US
>complains about healthcare prices

Kill yourself nigger.

Or don't be a worthless fuckwit and get a job with decent insurance, like I did.

good goy

unless you have a corporation paying for it, would not recommend.
Not only the health insurance but so much other bad shit. In NYC area, I know tons of people who have just said "fuck it, let the jews carry my corpse out" for rel minor shit.

don't get sick here, and that's not a meme or a joke. Euro tourists pay ~$500-$1,000 per person for a 3 week visit not to get jewed.

>Just get a good job!
Yes, because I'm willingly poor. It's either be a part of the problem, or don't get healthcare. It's not as if I do it for fun.

>how much does insurance cost in the U.S to cover everything?

Can't be more than the cost of "free" healthcare. Here in Quebec, half of the total provincial budget goes to the health care system. If you make about 50K a year, you're paying roughly 40% of that in taxes, or 20K a year. Half that goes to health care, meaning 10K a year, or 835$ a month.

And you don't have a choice in this. Like in the USA, if you're a fit, healthy young professional without kids, you can get away with a very low premium insurance that covers accidents and that's it. Here you pay the same thing and get the same services even if you never use it your whole life due to keeping yourself healthy.

Socialism is a scam.

i get decent disabledbux money, if i decide to live in the U.S for 5 - 10 years i can still claim it, but i think i need to find my own health insurance.

Covers everything? About $800 a month minimum

>But where goes all that money?

People will say "research!" But that's a lie. Research is almost all state funded via universities before private enterprises snap up the patents for cheap.

The whole health care system is an ungodly mixture of crony capitalism and government corruption.

Not only that, but insurance companies bargain down the costs, every time. That's why the prices are set so high initially.

Well I'm going to tell you firstly to fuck off, as we don't need more leeches on the government's tits.

Secondly, fuck off.

fuck up u faggot

It's a hospital in West Hollywood, so you should expect it to give you the happy merchant discount.

>Anesthesia costs almost as much as my house
Oh god.. America sucks.

>Be Canadian
>Tell therapist I feel like a girl
>Can get my dick turned inside out for free

It's ok. Obama fixed it.

Thanks to those border jumpers on both borders.

And sell it to collection agencies for cheap.

Are houses that cheap in Canada?

>Research is almost all state funded via universities before private enterprises snap up the patents for cheap.
Source?

not leeching from the U.S, i can still claim my australian benefits M8.
and i plan to eventually become an american citizen and live comfortably in a rural area running an online business.

>They either don't pay
Also, when they do actually pay, hospitals are willing to accept a tremendously discounted fee because they know nobody is going to afford their original price. People often pay several thousand in cash for a bill totaling tens of thousands. Only chumps and liberals think the bill is non-negotiable.

implying i wouldnt just put a bullet in my head instead of being some insurance company's bitch for the rest of my life

>they'd have to pay in taxes, which is massive
>massive
Nope. Especially for 501 (c) 3s.

...

>tfw 31
> top notch insurance used to cost me 20 dollars a week when I entered workforce.
>fast forward to 2016... blew something in my knee out, didn't have insurance through my job (landscaping, straight cash) nor Obama care (500 a month).
>gotta act like it isn't hurt at my new job until insurance kicks in

one fucking six month period without health insurance through an employer and my shit gets all cucked up. I'll get back on track though.

Obama care is a joke though. My mom makes brings home less money than she did when she made 2 dollars less an hour and still had insurance before Obamacare. Insurance prices skyrocketed. You can expect to pay about 250 dollars a month through most employers for insurance... Obama care is a another level of cuckery. Good luck not letting that shit cost you less that 375 a month.

I just think back to the good old days... 2003 or so when 20 dollars a week got me medical and dental.

Fuck. America is land of the cucks and i'm one of em.

how's it looking? Seriously considering it, my tits are terrible from early years of fast food and pot smoking, already lost a bunch of weight and lift/run and they're just not going away

East coast.. There are houses like sometimes 20-45k.. Plus you usually get an ocean view.

Just think about it, this bill would have gone to the government agency overseeing free stuff in Canada, France, or Britain and they would have to pay. With OPM.

wtf burgers ? why the fuck you pay 70k for 'semi private' room ?

Is it 5* Trump tower room with own bar rented for moth or what ?

Not even going to comment on the other shit.

he got a pretty good deal the last time he cut his finger off.

Get the free insurance that the government gives you dipshit.

Well in CAD that comes out to $376,595.90

So yes.

Americans work 10 hour days with one week a years paid holiday and when they get sick from the stress of it all they get charged 200k. Compared to Europe with it's 7-8 hour days 4 weeks holiday and free healthcare.

>$816 for an EKG
Shit I get them all the time from too much amphetamines and redbull.
Thank god for obamacare, taxfags cover it.

I got my pinky severed in a fight with a roided out marine when I punched gravel. Didn't even know it until I felt the cold metal of the handcuffs touching it. The cops let me go and I went straight to the hospital.

They reattached it and it cost me about 3500 dollars. If I didn't have insurance it probably would have been more like 20k.

I know putting a finger back on seems like a big deal, but it only took about 2 hours.

If only the police didn't make me stop thanking him for his service it might have been worth it.

>America’s National Institutes of Health (NIH) is the world’s biggest funder of biomedical research. It pays for risky basic science; companies pay for later stages of development.

This would never fly in a medical free market

It's basically every single thing surrounding the medical industry in the US is hyperinflated. Literally simple syringes (((costing))) multiples of hundreds of bucks.

It's a giant scam between insurance companies and the hospitals and both make untolds amount of money from this shit. It fucks over the government too while they're at it, because some of those giant bills are tax deductible for them so they even get a return on phantom costs.

Basically it should be illegal and the only reason it isn't is because americans are fucking retarded when it comes to understanding that this is what a government is supposed to prevent.

Can I get corrective eye surgery like this

Most Americans work 9 if you include lunch as work and I get a month of vacation a year which stacks up to three times.

Well, Canada suddenly looks like a good place to live.

now show the balance after the insurance is paid

Apparently I make too much money! :-)

I'm not even kidding though. I make ten an hour at part-time and I don't qualify.

>free insurance

It's only free if you are single mum, old, or retarded user.

I looked at Obama care and they wanted 400-something a month for a dude that made a little less than 2k a month.

I was talking to somebody the other day and they said that recently they were trying to save somebodies leg and used about $1,000,000 worth of hardware.

Patient ended up losing the leg anyways too.

If you're paying 40% in provincial taxes on 50k you're doing your taxes completely wrong lol...

You have to stay back

Of course not, nobody would be doing the procedure, except volunteers. People like to be paid for their work.

What if we raised taxes on the 1% and had free healthcare and shit

>whole insurance system is corrupted and flawed.
It runs like government provided medicine, only the payments are by a private company who are generally less stingy than socialist medicine.

Why? Eh?

pm.gc.ca/eng/news/2016/06/28/canada-lift-visa-requirements-mexico

Enjoy my tax dollars

oh you qualify...

qualify to pay 400 a month for decent insurance through Obama care.

400 dollars for something that costed me 100 dollars 8 years ago and was better.

The Affordable Care shit fucked up this country bad... especially the lower middle class single males.

Just remember that in Canada you're looking at 15 to 25% of your raw income being taken from you to pay for healthcare.

Free healthcare isn't free.

R u seriously implyi that we are not all human beans?

i work 8 hour days and have 7 weeks paid vacation that I can take with 24hr notice

I don't know why they printed that, just don't pay. If they want their money so much they can go to the negotiating table for it.

Just to give some perspective Cedars Sinai is one of the most expensive hospitals in LA.

This is the hospital where all the rich people go to.

I added federal to that since a proportionate amount of federal tax is then transferred back to the provinces for their healthcare. 40% combined federal / provincial is more or less what you'll pay on 50K a year across Canada.

>free healthcare.
if I take 40% of your paycheck and then hand you a sandwich.. would you consider that free?

You don't pay until after you had the surgery then you pay it back over many years.
