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

Now that's fiscal responsibility! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

so this corp (unnamed) sends nurses remotely every day to do a insulin shot for these patients and it takes like 5 hrs 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

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.

I thought they zeroed out the mandate?

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)

That story was messed up. I remember hearing about a past college study where they had normal, neurotypical college psychology students commit themselves to a psychiatric facility and then see if they could talk their way out. Turns out they couldn’t. They were still called delusional and psychotic and even though they said this was just an experiment for a research paper, no one believed them. Lol, it went down as a black eye on the reputation of psych facilities. But this was at least a decade+ ago

Lol dude

The second part of his study involved a hospital administration challenging Rosenhan to send pseudopatients to its facility, whose staff asserted that they would be able to detect the pseudopatients. Rosenhan agreed, and in the following weeks 41 out of 193 new patients were identified as potential pseudopatients, with 19 of these receiving suspicion from at least one psychiatrist and one other staff member. Rosenhan sent no pseudopatients to the hospital.

See every side is insane.

reason: we closed asylums

I've had five times now in my entire life been psychiatricly "hospitalized" tho the facilities weren't really hospitals.

Several of those where months long.

I'm not going to say I was wrongly imprisoned or whatever. And they where certainly not good times.

They all sucked. And the last time I didn't want to go part of that was causing me a great deal of stress. The others where for failed suicides.

These facilities could easily be improved and the Federal government and insurance institutions stands directly in the way of progress of this.

Idk. Maybe I'm an outlier. Because who's so bad at killing themselves that they survive it 4x? Idk. Last time was much less voluntary and more... like the police escorted me for safety reasons.

Really tho. It's pretty fucked up. However it's also necessary.

But if I was capable of it. I'd be a revolutionary. Instead of a stack of psychiatric case files and sucidiality.
