They Really Have a Lot of Balls Calling It "Healthcare"....
....when basically it is just another Insurance Scam. In the olden days, doctors who treated patients successfully, made a living, and then even made very good livings applying their trade to treat and cure illness. And they deserved to turn a profit, certainly if they knew what they were doing.

How the hell did things get so bad demented that the "System" morphed into a "For Profit" Gold Mine that was so ridiculously profitable that it is now able to support a massive army of Lawyers, Insurance Executives, Administrators and Political hacks that all feed off of the proceeds like kings? Is it even morally right to fleece the sick, the infirmed and the dying out of so much cash? The Stupid, well you know what W.C. Fields said about them - he was right, they deserve to get hosed.

I heard a radio commercial on a NYC AM station a couple of years ago that touted a certain hospital. The line of shit they were spewing went something like...

You would pay any price for one more week of life, for one more hour, for one more minute. When your life is on the line come to our hospital because we love desperate sick people".

Paraphrasing somewhat, nonetheless the message was clear. If this is true and too many Americans feel this way and are willing to fork over every red cent they have for the honor of carrying a plastic card in the wallets, then you may as well cue the Fat Lady because the opera is almost over.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74823649


The private sector has been decimated with skyrocketing premiums and part time, rather than full time employment, while the public sector continues to receive not only high pay but extremely expensive healthcare and bennies. In our Township the politicians dismiss the cost for our 30 municipal employees at $246K a year, but when you add in healthcare, pensions, benefits and all of the insurances they require the true cost jumps to over $620K! It comprises 23% of our total yearly budget.

While I begrudge nobody any of the perks they can wangle, this is clearly unsustainable. And we are not even talking about the "Cadillac Plans" that the DC scum get!

That is what it is, a scam. Another way to bilk people out of their hard earned money. For insurance that they can barely use and in many cases will not cover treatment for serious medical problems.

Whats more, it was codified so if you don't pay up, you can be fined.

There is no substitute for genetics, to be sure. I saw a news story last July about a free dental care event that was held like a flea market in Virginia last year. From what was shown in the clips, most of the work was extractions.

 Quoting: Big Duke6


Yes, Medicaid, the gift that keeps on taking. My longest old time buddy is an RN that works for a “healthcare” corporation. He makes big bucks administrating the Medicaid patients that he is given to oversee. Through legal technicalities we are actually allowing millions of foreign nationals to come to the US, sign the proper paperwork that will allow them to be medically treated for their ailments once they hit the ground. Their maladies vary all over the spectrum and when they are done they are even given prescriptions for OTC analgesics such as Tylenol, because by doing so, the government will pay for them as well. These people then go back to their home countries, where my friend maintains contact with them and makes sure they go for their follow up treatment back home with wellness visits and prescriptions all paid for buy US?

Yet all of us, including the government yawn when these facts are brought to the table. The government does not care because they and their corporate masters are all profiting greatly from it, the people don't care because many of them are playing the system and the rest are too bust staring into their Tecnno-Baubles entertaining themselves or looking for a good Chinese restaurant.

In the end, the problem will grow, the disease will spread and it will all grind to a halt. THAT appears to be the only option for saving money and doing thing right - by not doing them at all.

LOL
look at what the prices for insurances are.
look at what the price of that bs "penalty" WAS via the irs.

how much does your doctor charge to be seen ? the prescription?

if gawdforbid you are injured/require hospitalization etc ..then you sign on.

we tried to explain this to others BUT BEING THEY ARE BRAINDEAD ASSSHOLES TO BEGIN WITH
could not do basic math and COULD NOT SEPARATE AND DEFINE CARE as in HEALTH CARE versus the word INSURANCE
and figure out the distinct difference,never mind FREE things within any nation.
remember THEIR MANTRA :one outta five AMERICANS are UNINSURED AND GO WITHOUT ? do the math.sixty million?
where the hell was anyone to PUBLICLY CHALLENGE THEM ON THAT ONE ?
and as for REFORM ? any motion via this feral government containing the word REFORM IS TO BE SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY.
immigration REFORM ring a bell ?

they have succeeded in DESTROYING the insurance system THAT WORKED,
succeeded in closing down entire hospitals due to severe delays with their SELECTIVE state reimbursements to hospitals NOT providing abortions and supportive of LIFE as in giving the most basic LIFE SUPPORT to elderly,chronic brain damaged,impaired etc.leading to bankruptcy and these hospitals total inability to finance THEIR equipment maintenance and supplies and staff on and on.

democrats remains the SCUM OF THE EARTH and now the UNIPARTY
is right there with them.

Back in 2002,when I went on my last hospital orientation, they stopped calling admitted people "Patients". We were to refer to them as "Customers ". That's when I knew healthcare as I'd known it was over. Besides, healthcare being on the stock exchange, shows they just want to make a profit.
