No insurance with cost controls for routine stuff (or UHC) and real insurance for extremes with a minimal level of coverage via taxes would be my ideal, your point?
Not everyone gets into car accidents with hundreds of thousands of dollars with medical bills either.
Do away with insurance altogether. People shouldnt be over joyed to go 20-50k into debt over a car but hate having to pay 20-50k for a new knee.
In the old days the town would try to pitch in to save the kid first generally..
True, but the cost of medical care is so screwed up and disconnected from what it actually cost to render service its retarded. Just look at how competitive cosmetic surgery is. You can get top notch LASIK done for $3,000-4,000 easily. Why is that?
Doesn't think there is an "infinite value to life", values low taxes above all else. Your modern conservative libertarian, ladies and gentlemen.
Why do I see coupons out for 200-300 an eye? Is that for a different laser surgery and not Lasik?
Why? What kind of moron thinks from a policy level that it's a smart, efficient use of resources to spend $10M+ to sustain a single person's life?
No clue - they're not long procedures though. Was less than 2 hrs when we consulted on one for the wife.
Considering in man hours you're talking about me spending about $5-10k an hour for the treatments I got - zero hospitalization besides a 3 hr LP one time - there's clearly some cost issues.
Not defending our hugely overpriced medicine here in the USA, but you do know there's a fuckton of money spent on R&D for those medications before a single penny is earned, right? Pharmas arent just paying 2c manufacturing costs.
Yes, but you have some special kind of asperger's that doesn't allow you to relate to these hu-mons infesting this planet. Most of us value life more than your bullshit ideals that you made the fuck up in high school,.
What if the research for the contents of the capsule was paid for by the government, which has a higher chance to be paid for by the government than the actual company?
