PROOF: So many of you cry about ObamaCare, but our healthcare has been insanely corrupt for decades!!!!

If you own anything and can't get insurance...you lose it. It' not a bad system, lotsa folks like it, especially risk takers and those that can afford insurance but would rather spend the money elsewhere. Medical Bankruptcy is unknown in any other western country. I suppose if the plan is to break everybody, this is just one avenue.

Thats why boomers are retiring overseas. Healthcare is so much cheaper, like 10 to 15% of what it is here.

Fuck health care everyone should just die when they're fucking told to!

Obamacare FORCES you to pay for insurance. Currently, it's a choice. 13th Amendment prohibits the government from mandating something like that.

In case you haven't been keeping up with current events, sunshine, we ain't a republic anymore.

Not True

The contracted rate is avaiable and at all Hospita based Urgent Cares via law must be dispayed in a clear easily visible location.

The menue must detail the 50 most common costs

This is true in Florida.

Next question

State Rep. Richard Corcoran recalled a day last year when a doctor recommended an MRI test for his wife's back pain.

When they asked how much it would cost, "nobody knew," Corcoran said. "No one would tell me."

They called around, and found that the price of an MRI varied from $350 to $1,200.

That experience was a driving force behind the health care price transparency bill that the New Port Richey Republican introduced this year. It was approved overwhelmingly and takes effect on Friday.

Urgent care clinics across the state will be required to post on 15-square-foot signs the prices of their 50 most frequently provided services. Those that don't face fines of up to $1,000 a day until they comply.

And it all just keeping getting worse and worse. The more control and regulation they get, the worse it gets and the louder statists scream for more government to solve the problems. LOL

Correct if it was a true free market sytem then we would be competing for services just like Mc Donalds.

At this time Health Care providers can not legally offer prices lower than they would to the Fed Govt.

oh and the Federal Gov. sets the price levels

get it

It's gonna get worse, dumbass. Trust me.

'Dumbass' was a little harsh, you hick. Thanks otherwise for everyone's input.

By the way, the last time an ER tried to charge us $1200 to put a bandaid on my son's forehead, I told them to show me why it cost that much. They cancelled the bill.

There was no way in hell I was paying this type of extortion...and I won't ever.

Socializing medicine would be the ONLY way to make healthcare viable again -- the more socialized the better.

I used to think 'socialized' was a dirty word, too. Until I learned that I'd been programmed to think it was a dirty word.

Sheeple and easy to program.

Man I can't believe, you need insurance to get your health looked at, your country is surely corrupt.

Yep, we're idiots because we allow this corruption to continue. We need a revolution.

Uhm. That's my point. And until we stand up and stop letting this happen, we're sheep.

ERs and hospitals should be surrounded by activists demanding that this corruption stops. Peaceful protests...which of course will be met by police brutality...

The reason medical cost went up in the first place is government involvement.

Medicaid destroyed the health market, created in 1965.

So the government is trying to solve and issue created by them with more government! Man, the government is great.

I don't entirely agree. Costs went up due to GREED in the private sector. Also, people eat very poorly in the western world - restaurant food is 99% crap, processed foods, obesity. And, did I mention GREED and corruption?

Who's ready to protest?

Obamacare does fix anything in the "healthcare industry" it perpetuates it.

ObamaCare is a mess. Of course. But any step toward taking control out of the hands of private industry is a good one.

FOR PROFIT BUSINESSES SHOULD NEVER HAVE ANY SAY IN A PERSON'S HEALTHCARE DECISIONS!!! - But what have we had - For Profit Businesses own the healtcare system!!! THAT'S the nightmare!!!

I have Obamacare and it is insurance . It will just stop insurance companies from cherry picking and denying service altogether.

Yes, you will, dumbass. Your days as an indignant libtard in the doctors office are over. You WILL buy insurance(if you have a job)as prescribed by Obamacare mandates, you WILL see a doctor on the authorized list for your area, you WILL pay all copays, you WILL like it, or you WILL be prosecuted.

Corrupt about as long as the gov has started regulating it.

its a tax to bail out uncle sammy

Yes indeed metered socialized medicine is a real boon to undertakers everywhere just wait until those death panels kick in under obamacare.

Let me refer you to post #4:

"Fuck health care everyone should just die when they're fucking told to!"

Roughly put, but truthful in some ways, and rational in a sick kinda way...

The thing that sucks is if you make over $14,900(just an estimate) you MUST BUY insurance.

Which really fucks over people who are young and make like $15,000-25,000. It's nothing more than a handout to insurance companies.

I was on board with the idea until I realized all it would do is require me to buy insurance.

And who cares if they kill old people. If you're like 75+ years and contributing nothing to society and require constant medical attention wtf is the point?

Fuck I'm a drain on society and i wish they'd... kill me now. And I'm only 20-something.

This.

"They" created the problem in order to offer the solution.

Which will of course, create a plethora of newer, bigger problems that they will be "forced" to solve.

Welcome to hell.

before 1986 and medicare many judges here dismissed cases where medical practitioners directly took unpaid patient bills to court if the patient had representation who questioned the practitioners hypocratic oath.


case dismissed, plaintif to pay court costs, don't like it, don't practice medicine.



still to this day even an expensive private doctor will sell debts to a collection agency who will dog you and make threats for years, but won't take it as far court.

I responded to you and if you can rationalize such behavior with another posters words then you fail to grasp to dismal situation obamacare puts us into.
