And the costs of healthcare seem pretty crazy in the US, so you don’t want to be without insurance. If you weren’t working and had no income, you’d definitely want to sign up for your state’s Medicaid. And if you have income but work isn’t offering an insurance, you definitely want to go to the insurance marketplace and pick one. You never want to get saddled with an out of pocket cost. Luckily there are usually options like what I mentioned to prevent this In regards to alternatives, there’s completely socialized medicine. And Medicaid is fuckin amazing, I’d love to have that be for everyone. I just don’t see it as possible, expense-wise | |||

The thing about healthcare costs is that by having health insurance, it doesn’t matter as much how ridiculous Hospitals want to change
My surgery I had in November was pretty reasonable, $1200 for slashing my elbow open and putting my ulnar nerve back into the bone groove it was supposed to be in (it got displaced by me aggressively masterbating to the Human Centipede movie on repeat, at least that’s the story I gave friends sometimes). And the doctor repaired my carpal tunnel in my wrist by slashing open my hand in going in with a scope or something. That was $1100 So both being done on the same day + hospital fees was $3000ish. The anesthesia was like $2300ish. I had already paid 2k-3k towards my deductible earlier that year, so paying the rest of my deductible was only like $1k But if the doctor wanted to charge $50,000 for each surgery I don’t give a shit. My deductible is still 4000. That’s why I am stressing the importance of having insurance and being in your network with your procedure | ||

Luckily for us, lots of people live at a poverty line that don't have the same luxuries we do! They're forced into a situation in which they need to stay below a certain salary or they lose their insurance! Here's the best part though! If they ever try to get a better job, if they slightly go over that salary limit, they lose that health insurance they rely on! Fun right!? Haha! That way they get to stay perpetually locked into poverty because any gradual upward momentum would cripple them! Remember, just one wink and finger guns every morning, right in the mirror at those pearly whites! | |||

Not that there aren’t procedures that could actually run $250k, but it sounds like exaggeration just for the sake of hyperbole. So like I said, if you gonna just make stuff up, go for the gold and say the patient died too due to malpractice And yea, like I said I’d love for everyone not just the poor to get free health insurance. After all, health insurance is a human right. Oh wait it’s actually not. Regardless, I’d still like for them to get it, but the cost would be in the trillions, and I just don’t see how our government could make that work. However, I greatly respect people like you who donate every extra penny you make to those who don’t have the means to care for themselves | |||
