USA has excellent Health Care

Feb 28 54 Comments

… but most citizens(not the highly paid folks on blind) can’t afford it.

No one can understand the bills. You will keep getting random bills, messed up codes, insurance and healthcare providers keep playing ping pong with you.

Or be a slave to Mr Besos or the likes for insurance.

      That's not bad healthcare. That's expensive healthcare.

    • Expensive healthcare is no healthcare for most people. No healthcare is bad healthcare.

      You really enjoy billionaires living in a mansion and root for them while yourself living is a shack or homeless (this is a metaphor, not trying to say you are homeless or live in a shack).

  • US need to understand that access to healthcare is not fundamental right, healthcare is fundamental right

    • Those 3 diseases happen to be fairly cheap to “treat” in comparison to other things outside of people’s control. Either way most medical costs would be way cheaper with better regulation. Sadly the current cost would likely bankrupt any of us if we had a major incident without insurance.

      Coinbase idk where you got your data but heart surgery (like a double bypass) is an extremely expensive, high risk surgery. Obesity and diabetes cause many other afflictions, and those afflictions are not easy to treat as anyone hooked up in a dialysis clinic will tell you Eating low-sugar, low saturated fat diets is not expensive at all. Alcohol and cigarettes are the two leading ingested carcinogens that also, are fully preventable from causing harm. Cancer isn't "cheap to treat."

      The only regulation we need more of is the creation of an equitable system, where people who willingly harm themselves shoulder more of the burden for healing themselves later, as wild as that sounds.

    I am from India and when I was a teen in the 1990s, becoming a doctor and going to US was the dream for those who can afford the tuition fees for mbbs or MD.
    I didn't realize then that all those doctors who came here are drawing huge salaries but also becoming part of this huge messed up healthcare system for the people they are serving. Even a dentist easily earns 500k in US.
    Healthcare should be affordable to all. Sadly that's not the case, and the doctors who came to US from countries like India are unknowingly part of the problem

    • Which means we have to work for someone to afford healthcare. Sounds like slavery to me.

      Well we can't think of healthcare with a personal cost-benefit analysis mindset.
      Either we truly believe that healthcare should be accessible and affordable to all of we don't and let the current system continue.
      Also it's not slavery if you understand and ok with a part of everyone's paycheck to go to a social pool available to all.

    It's such an inefficient system.

    Private insurers take profits, private hospitals don't have as much incentive to keep prices low cause the insurance will pay for it or some sucker will go bankrupt.

    We need more administrative people per healthcare provider due to the complicated code system. We don't really limit the medical malpractice lawsuit awards. Most doctors have to pay a large amount of student loans and interest. The list goes on.

      And every time you get the bill there will be tons of mistakes in the codes which no one will fix. Insurance companies and healthcare providers will play football with the patient (patient being the football being kicked post to post).

      Great points. I had appendix out a few years back and the hospital billed the insurance $40k and for years I was getting random bills and then an adjustment which meant I had to pay more money. Such a mess

  • In what way is it excellent?
    In my experience doctors won’t do anything useful unless you’re dying, dentists are only capable of cleaning teeth and replacing them with implants while pediatrics just does not exist - they do not know a thing about how a lot of things can be treated and fixed in first couple of years of child’s life.
    I also had a pleasure of using that scam telemedicine or whatever the crap it’s face - those are just students using this as a way to get some extra cash after hours while googling the symptoms as you describe them.
    Having experienced all of that - I just do not think there is a meaningful healthcare in US.

      Agree with you. I was just being sarcastic in the post.

      a friend of mine fainted while driving. Thankfully she is alive after the accident. No major injury. When she went to the doctor , my friend asked the doctor why did she faint. What kind of disease she has. The doctor’s reply was literally this

      “ why do you think which disease you have ?”

      Later my friend said why would I go to a doctor if I knew the answer.

      Many of my friends have had numerous such stupid encounters in US.

      I am not saying there are no good doctors in US, but many are not. They are just doing some procedural stuffs.

    • Yeah, I saw it as a sarcasm but just wanted to give some specifics from my personal experience. As usual - there are good doctors everywhere but in US they are extremely hard to come by
