Insurance Insanity, crazy !
See how good its is to live in England, we don't have any of this shit paying out thousands of your lovely dollar's each whether your sick on not, all our working lives we pay each week and that is matched by our employers and some times more than we do, all because of the UK's NHS we can just walk in and get seen to for anything, non of this being asked for what kind if insurance we have.
But never mind you now have Trump care, just what you need and more money in his pocket from kick backs.

I realise I'm about to sound extremely dumb and borderline ignorant of other countries' health-care policies....but
In the UK, if something is wrong, heath-wise - you go to hospital/doctor, and need to get seen/operated/etc - there's no additional cost (there might be a waiting period due to demand). It's included in the tax you have paid through work etc previously. But you can also elect to 'go private' - get seen quicker and dealt with but that's depending if the individual chooses to personally pay or has previously made arrangements with a private healthcare company.
Regardless of that though, you can still get the necessary medical treatment (of practically any form for 'free' )
How does this differ from the USA? (for example)Start: Jan '17. Current: BPEL: +0.9" EG: +0.47"

That is only one example. There's such a variety of craptastic options it's hard to sum them all up. What's even better is that people that are broke get even better insurance than middle class folk. Around here they have something called AHCCCS, which I had prior to Obamacare (it's still around, but I don't qualify) and they pay for damn near everything for free. Basically if you're not broke, rich, or have some sort of special circumstance, insurance is ridiculous. What's annoying is when you apply for medical assistance, at least where I live, they go by income only, regardless of your bills. So even if you're paying out 90% of your income every month and can't afford insurance, they'll just assume you can afford insurance cuz of your income. The whole system is incredibly irritating. You also get a penalty fee for not having insurance even if you can't afford it, and that fee multiplies every year.
So yeah, I'd rather have worse wait times than the shit-fest that is the current health care system, if it meant I wasn't going to be bent over for health care.Last edited by Jaw Breaker; 05-05-2017, 03:34 PM.

Interesting. Health care, Trumpcare, a topic on the Glenn Beck show today. Y'a, y'a, I know, Glen Beck! Go ahead and listen to the media hype about him, you know, the mainstream media, same guys that had Hillary in the White House before the election. I challenge anyone to listen to Glen for a week and then disrespect him. Go ahead, I dare y'a!
Anyway, his point today was that the USA, if Trumpcare is past is doomed. Surprised ! Glenn is against Trumpcare? Why? Because it places government in a place of authority over everyone where health care issues are involved, forever!
There was a time, younglings have no idea, when desicions were made by the patient and their doctor. Not anymore, forever! No insurance company negotiating with the drug companies who are now in bed with each other. So now add big brother, big brother is the one with the gun, the IRS, the Justice Department, the Attorney General. It's a slippery slope to socialism, to communism, to fascism, France?, you listening? But here we go.A prayer, is kinda the same as a "Like". If there are enough likes, God will take notice. So "Like" away please. My daughter needs your prayers. Thank You.

So you'd rather the thread just die than to continue the discussion at hand? Cuz that's pretty much what's going to happen. I guess Tamora can start a new thread ... or you can simply re-title this one. I guess I'm just not seeing the need for moderation here. Nobody is doing anything wrong. Sometimes the foot of power doesn't need to be put down. Seems like everyone was having a fairly civil discussion. Anyway I'll shut up now.Last edited by Jaw Breaker; 05-05-2017, 11:40 PM.
