Healthcare Insurance Corruption (in detail)

[Sharky1203]

OMFG how comprehensively stupid are these people?

Well, I'm not sure. We got Obamacare and things are worse now than before. Gov has never solved a problem, other than with wars.

LOL's. You think that we pay far more per capita when it comes to health care than the Germans because of American subsidies to the "German system"? You're hopeless.

Yes. There is zero doubt about that

The piece you're linking has little to do with why the United States spends so much more per capita than the rest of the developed world when it comes to healthcare. It's dealing with only one component, prescription drugs--and it has a false pretense, that because the bulk of research/funding is based in the US that this is a major factor in why the US health system is so much more costly than in comparable 1st world countries.

In other words, it's typical rightwing/conservative bullshit that's meant to misinform and distort.

Those aren’t subsidies to the EU market.

The ACA reinforced a system of holding hospitals and physicians office to a certain standard of metrics. Infection rates 90 day readmits. That sort of thing. Hold insurance companies accountable as well. If your denial rate falls above a certain percentage, you get fined. If it takes you too long to issue a decision on coverage, you get fined.

Or return to policies for catastrophic care and separate system for normal and preventative care. This may include remaining how and where people get tested for things like strep throat

IMO, I don't want the Gov. anywhere near my medical anything.

With that being said, it seems everyone involved has their hand in the cookie jar grabbing money. Dr. offices overcharge everything. Why should I get charged for a pack of gauzes when they use 1 or 2 (example). Insurance doesn't have competition. We are stuck with just a few so they can charge and do whatever they want. The Gov puts way too much red tape in the way. We need to address all three of these in order to make this work.

What’s your solution? I am open minded on this.

The system sucks. The doctors are good.

They are entirely different things.

This.....and OP is a piece of shit person

Praying disease away is about as effective as praying the gay away. At some point, regardless of how vigorously con artists like Kenneth Copeland “execute judgment on COVID-19,” people need to wake up and realize science, despite its flaws and constant evolution, is not a conspiracy and a pretty good alternative to fairytales and fables.
