ok so we have an old person home (it's even a pretty good one by most standards IMHO) here and they have a few skilled staff but they don't have anyone who can give ppl insuline shots because a CNA (certified nursing assistant) isn't allowed to do an insulin shot only RNs

so this corp (unnamed) sends nurses remotely every day to do a insulin shot for these patients and it takes like 5 hrs (they wait for the patients and they gotta walk all over trhe building and there's charting and all kindsa bs regulatory stuff and the pharmacy is in a different place) and the bill is like 100k lol to the insurance company but serio8usly the insurance company has this worked out so this is actually a good thing for them

i'm not inflating or exhaggerating this story

also sorry, if u cant give urself a shot, or ur family cant, or some secretary cant put insulin in a needle and give it, u should fucking definately die and the government is definately killing ppl because almost anyone could do this, a child could with 99.9% safety.

Yeah, isn’t an insulin shot a super skinny needle just into the belly fat? Painless, and the least risk of infections of all the types of shots (intramuscular, intravenous)

I dunno exactly why health care costs became so inflated. I assumed it was because insurances were only offering to pay a portion, so the health care provider just increased the price so that they would get more money from the portion being paid. From doing research, I’ve read there are federal limits on how much you can charge for just about every medical procedure, however. So, Medicaid can point to those and say “this is the most we will pay for this procedure”, and because it’s a federal limit, the healthcare provider will have to lower their price to it

The affordable care act was just how the government divested themselves of the cost of insuring the poor. They were already covered before. There were no tax decreases to offset their now reduced budget burdens.

They e done this with several industries. Same taxes, less overhead; increased budgets

I haven't been to a doctor in 9 years and have zero recurrent prescriptions. I'll probably drop dead working to pay for all of your sins. Seek Christ, and you're welcome.

It's built into the price of premiums. If you have assets you could lose (IRAs, house etc) it's not optional to absorb that liability. Going uninsured is only a valid option if you have nothing to lose (which I once did)
