\r\nFirst off tell them to quit being greedy bastards and start charging people a decent price from the get go and maybe uninsured people wouuld be able to afford it. Yet they try to gouge the price to make up for the people who won\'t with the suckers that will.
\r\nEveryone has seen a medical bill when you get it after ur insurance covers it. 60% adjustment for having insurance then your insurance handles 80% of that and ur left with ur amount. I mean really? come the fuck on. If you can break off 40-60% off the top then your doing something wrong. Insurance companies should just charge what they charge if you have insurance because in fact your not paying insurance to take care of that adjustment. Your insurance is there to cover your part and they say that shit ain\'t worth what the company is charging then guess what its not worth it. end of story?
\r\n
\r\nNow you put that to people who are already hurting for money and get the astronomical bills of course there is not reason to even pay on a 4 grand bill. 2 grand may be more reasonable to make payments on. Thats why people say fuck their medical bills. Sticker shock my friends.
\r\n
\r\nThats one solution. How about another idea? Telling the people how much its going to cost UP FRONT. I would assume over half of the defaults on medical bills are bullshit procedures and if people knew what the cost was out the gate they would suffer that tooth ache/headache/backache and get on with it.

\r\nSo don\'t give me this we can\'t fix it because we\'re too lazy to try new options before we just give it to big brother because he "fixes" all.

and you quote the insanity definition. Now turn that on yourself. Did handing the government our banking system save us? Indeed it did not. Did handing the government the automobile industry? Once again no. Those are just a few recent follies.
\r\n
\r\nAnd I have looked around the world. The dollar is decreasing in value, we are no longer an industry leader, we have little exports left, our economy is down, we owe huge debt to one of the biggest communist nations and on top of that these radical polititians are pulling us more and more towards socialist beliefs. Canada is looking more and more inviting.

\r\nNo i know there are tons of people who are going to talk shit about that. I LOVE AMERICA. I don\'t love what ignorant, lazy, and selfish people are doing to it. This is not the america I want my son to grow up in.\r\n

ME, and my insurance company, thru the rate hikes, because of the $$ the hospitals/clinics are writing off. \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\nThis is NOT a bill for government ran healthcare. This is an INSURANCE BILL. It will require people to get coverage, or pay a fine. Thats just how it is, and I see nothing wrong with it. Why do you? \r\n \r\nWe cannot straighten this out thru a private system, it DOESNT WORK. Is the government the best solution.........? Its the only entity large and strong enough with the ability to do so. Do you have a better idea? \r\nRemember this tho....Insanity: repeating the same procedure, expecting different results. \r\n \r\nAlso, this country is merely 200 years old. There are 300 million people living in this country. Change is inevitable. Yes, we were all born and raised into a free country. We\'re still free, trust me. Take a look at healthcare around the world, and tell me you would rather be anywhere else, even after the big bad government makes you get insurance to cover your own ass. | \r\n
