If something terrible happens to me, i don't want others paying for it - i'll pay myself. But i don't want to be penalized for not having health insurance when i'm completely healthy.

They also can't grasp the concept that they are in charge of their own health, that they produce the state of their own health through their actions, that they have so much power, a great deal of power and control over their own health, and that they can act independently of any so called expert or authority in the matter of their own health. They don't have the ability or desire to read extensively from all angles and think for themselves, do their own research and their own experimentation, and evolve their own flexible and changing attitudes about what is best for them at any given time. Even if they pay lip service to natural health modalities, when push comes to shove they will always run to the doctor and then bow to the pharmaceutical option. They buy all the mass media propaganda that insinuates that herbs, supplements, vitamins and minerals are more dangerous than pharmaceutical drugs. If you tell them that the medical industry is the 3rd leading cause of death in the US killing over 200,000 people every year, it has no effect on their thinking or actions at all. Even after years of unsuccessful, brutal treatments at the hands of the medical industry, they cannot see through the prison of their own thinking and they willingly go back for more and more. I am talking about my own family members here, who are well-off, educated, clever people. Six surgeries later for the same problem and they are far worse off than when they started, but they have never seriously looked into any kind of alternative therapies or acknowledged anything they might be doing that might be contributing to the problem. So good luck with medical insurance, as if more access to doctors, drugs and hospitals is going to solve anything. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 75007635 ![]() 07/08/2017 07:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In hospitals, most of the duties now are involved in keeping JCAHO accreditation. Much less time is spent on direct patient care. It's all about administration, accreditation....it's scary. In pharmacies -- more time is spent on administrative and insurance. Drug interactions aren't even being checked. Drugs kill at least a million people every year....but pharmacies are too busy dealing with insurance problems. Pharmacists are over-educated, and nobody will allow them to dispense drugs without a prescription, despite the fact that we have more knowledge about drugs than doctors do. Why? Because doctors stand to lose money if pharmacies can prescribe/dispense without a prescription, like almost every other country in the world. It's a joke. And yet, nurse practitioner, get ONE semester of pharmacology, with OPEN BOOK TESTS, and they can prescribe?!? And doctors are worse. They are arrogant as hell. When doctors don't know what's wrong (especially in women with chronic illnesses or autoimmune illnesses - instead of admitting it - they call the patients neurotic or crazy. And hospitals totally know what tests to order so they can make the most reimbursement. We just need to get health insurance companies OUT of health care. Go back to dealing directly with doctors. Negotiate with the billing person in the doctor's office, not with the health insurance companies. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 69670014 ![]() 07/09/2017 12:32 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I do not believe that there are too many people out there in America that are not well aware that "medical insurance" is not really "insurance" for human health or for medical treatment as much as it is healthcare insurance companies "profit guarantees". Looking just at the moment at the Medicaid system, where MSM estimates for fraud range from $75 to $250 BILLION dollars per year... Quoting: Black Knight [link to www.bankrate.com] ...it is a wonder, at least to me, why no body seems to notice, nobody seems to care... I am not sure what is meant by "fraud" however, because what I know from my oldest and dearest friend about the subject, leads me to think that the "legal" part is really damned bad as well. My friend is an RN who works for a huge medical insurance company and his job is to follow up with "patients" who are foreign citizens, living in foreign countries and are receiving "legal" treatments, prescriptions, and therapies that are all paid for by the US Medicaid system. These patients all started out by coming to America and filling out forms such as those that request "protection" for political asylum in the USA. Once they get off the planes they go to hospitals to seek treatment for conditions, diseases, and maladies that they happen to have. Once they are done, they return to their countries and continue to receive treatment, prescriptions, and therapies for these conditions under the Medicaid plan. My friend's job is to follow up with each of these people every month to insure that they are reporting to their doctors for monthly "wellcare" visits, are continuing their prescriptions, and getting the therapies that were prescribed. They are even prescribed over the counter drugs such as Tylenol so that Medicaid will pay for these too. Why is this being done and why is it legal you might ask? Because it is very, very profitable and is paid by the government so nobody cares, remember... So I suppose that the only thing that can be said for the poor, dumb, loser American taxpayers is....Shut Up and Pay! They can't receive treatment in their home countries, the providers would never be paid. Accepting Medicaid requires a state provided Medicaid ID number in order to be paid. |

Because when I try to offer information or suggestions not only do people not know what to do with it, but they almost get offended, like I'm accusing them of something. It's tied in with the idea of victimhood being the highest good. I mean we live in an either/or world right now, so if you're not a powerless victim, then you must be a hateful, exploitative oppressor, right? So certainly if you catch cold 4 times a winter, it couldn't possibly be anything you have any control over, if you thought you had power over circumstances and events, you'd be some kind of juggernaut power-freak, right? I mean the mental illness and delusions and confused thinking are running so deep right now that no one can even have a conversation about a topic or subject, everyone is so full of assumptions and jumping to conclusions, they can't just entertain an idea for a minute. |
