I paid 1000 dollars for an emergency room visit when I was incapacitated by a muscle in my back. Next day, went to the doctor, still had to pay another 150 dollars. He put his hands on my back like he was doing some sort of Vulcan technique. My back was never fixed and I’m afraid to go back and pay more cause I have nothing. I’m on the state plan. It started at 30 bucks a month two years ago, now its 139 bucks a month. Please, shut the fuck up. We need to abolish this system and actually have social programs for this.
Hey. I went to the ER and didn’t have to pay a dime of the near $100k that I was billed. This is primarily because I was hit by an SUV and they were ruled completely at fault. I did have to setup a payment plan for the $5k that the US hospital system charged for my wife spraining her ankle two weeks before or wedding. Yeah. That was fun. Literally cost more than we could afford for the wedding.
This comment has no relevance to anything. If it was trying to imply that Americans don’t avoid healthcare due to cost, in effect denying Americans healthcare, it’s totally inaccurate. There are thousands of American citizens all over the USA that cannot afford healthcare, and Americans routinely avoid getting needed healthcare just to make ends meet.
Don’t Americans pay way more compared to most other countries because there’s little to no competition and/or price negotiation to reduce the cost of prescription drugs? I thought that was what people were saying, not that they don’t want to pay for healthcare. lol. How intellectually dishonest of you 😂

Fuck this privatized, for-profit system.
Tell me you’re still on your parents insurance plan without telling me you’re on your parents insurance plan.

Even Americans with higher incomes avoid healthcare, and here is a link that mentions that specifically: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/health-care-costs-rising-americans/
