you pay 10x as much for health care because a bunch of fat retards can't pay for their own life extending surgery

scam
every country will heal you for free

>because a bunch of fat retards can't pay for their own life extending surgery

Also because medical corporations and the pharma industry jack up the prices on everything because they can

in the USA? not well

>go to socialist country
>get on welfare
>have health insurance

>go to socialist country
>get on welfare
>your kids get raped by shitskins
>explain that you dont like that very much
>go to jail
>get raped by shitskins, then killed

I'll take the expensive healthcare, thanks.

What if you are a shitskin?

pay while ur healthy.

stop paying when ur sick

gives doctors incentive to fix u

you have to buy it on the free market from locally based insurance cartels within a small window of time each year called "open enrollment"

It doesn't. You work for the insurance company

it doesn't, you have to move to a 1st world country.

It's easier to get opiate then it is to get antibiotics in the USA, while you can get antibiotics easily in third world shit holes. This is truly the biggest tragedy facing america today.

You pitch in to help cover medical cost whenever your friends/family got sick/accident, they'll do the same for you

this is a big part of the problem. all the bullshit you need a perscription for is so fucking expensive and totally doens't require a doctors visit in most places. In Korea my wife got birth control OTC for like $2 a month. In the USA it ends up costing a fortune.

it took me two straight weeks of shitting blood, seeing an urgent care, my primary, getting a stool test, then going to the emergency room and getting a CT scan before they FINALLY gave me the antibiotics that are fixing me.

it's funny because it would be cheaper and less time consuming just to fly to costa rica for a week

>have some pain in my elbow for a few days
>go to doctor

>I'm fucking 27 years old
>doctor doesn't ask any questions or examine/prod me for pain or other symptoms
>he offers me morphine right then and there
>this doctor went through a decade of med school to push drugs
i fucking hate (((modern))) medicine

I'm gonna be fucked by the ER bill, and my health plan doesn't even kick in until 2250 dollars

What did you have the ebola virus or something?

Have a medical problem. Pay an emergency care facility a few blocks away from where I live 150 dollars to see me within the hour. Pay 75 dollars for the prescription. First time I have seen a doctor in months and that visit cost me half of what it would be to have health insurance with a high deductible/co-pay. Scam.

you pay for health insurance and then when you need it they don't pay for anything

I don't even know man, the stool tests came up negative for every bacteria. the ER gave me meds for bacteria and amoeba infections. so it could be one or the other

You work five hours every week to pay for Pablo's antibiotics and Dindueesha's diabetes medicine. When you take your family to the hospital, Dr. Ranjeev and Dr. Chong still charge you $1000.

Good thing you were a good responsible goy and paid $3000/year for that ER bill that won’t even be covered.

sorry boomer you have arthritis now. doc just wanted to help you out but you decided to have a mid-life crisis about it

>Pay cash
>get first line antibiotics for any sickness
>if it doesn't work, get second line antibiotics and so on

>has insurance
>must get blood works, ct scan and shit before prescribed the same antibiotics if you paid cash and stay for at least one night for """observation"""

Higher premium means less upfront cost before the insurance kicks in.

How about neither? I want to open a gym that includes health insurance for members. Immediate subsidies for attendance, gains, slimming, etc. Would ve cheap bc most there are healthy. Include liability waiver in signup so that gym related injuries arent covered.

$100 says this is similar to the model Amazon is working on.

lol

you bet a jew that you will get severely sick or injured.

if you do: he pays for your extremely expensive treatments

if you dont: you pay him some money

its as retarded as it sounds. just dont smoke, eat reasonably and exercise once in a while

Redditfag pls go.

The (((insurance company))) determines the price of your health care. Talk to any medical billing department. They hate those kikes more than you do.

Cash pay rates are like 40% or less than what the jew gets billed.

That's disgusting. Lay off the receiving anal for a while faggo

I have had juvenile diabetes since I was 14, am now 30. Never been able to afford health insurance, got gibsmedats insulin in Washington state and moved to Texas to get a job, but can't get gibs and missed the enrollment window for my jobs overpriced health plan. Currently taking Walmart insulins that cost me around 60-75$/month and am constantly going to DKA or hypoglycemia at work, but suck it up because of fear of being fired. I make 9$ an hour right now.
How fucked am I?

Why no Medicaid?

Because have job and white. Also tried for medicaid but didn't qualify, because have job and white.
>job is literally pharmacy cashier

Not to be a dick but evolution is real.

It sounds like you need to be on rapid and long-acting insulins. They're very expensive without insurance but the companies that make them have patient assistance programs that you can apply for. I have patients that get them for free from my pharmacy.

Thats some heresy right there most foul nonbeliever.

Forreal that doctor sounds like the bomb I don't wanna go to my shitty doctor's office anymore

I'm buying two types of insulin from wally world, the fast acting and long duration types, along with syringes and keep an ice pack with them so they don't cook in the heat.
How does one go about applying for patient assistance programs?
I don't even have a primary physician down here, I'm just trying to make some money and not starve atm
I tried walking 12 miles to an endocrinology clinic for free samples of insulin and discarded vials, but they didn't have any... Any places that could hook me up with freebies? Can't really afford anything at the moment

You know, user... I keep wondering if I'm not some zombie slave for (((big pharma))) and they are wringing their hands in delight at my miserable existence... Would be nice to have a working body

Should have taken the prescription and run

There was some old doctor in eastern PA that got busted for this shit big time. Among several bottles of opioids he was selling to people, the police also found $1 million in cash he had stashed.

You're taking the ReliOn insulins which aren't as effective as the newer generations like Humalog/Novolog (short) and Lantus/Basaglar (long). Search for 'Lilly Cares Foundation' and 'Sanofi Patient Connection' on google. I think Novo Nordisk has ways of helping you as well. Search and find out.

Thank you for the help user, you're a gentleman :...)

I will never forget you, kind user :...)

In America we have a working justice system where if we call the cops, they will actually come and kill the perpetrator. And maybe your dog. In the EU they will just tell you it's in the perpetrator's culture to commit crimes and you should accept it, so it will go unreported.

Americans are so fucking delusional

Insurance companies generate revenue from premiums-payouts
pretty much that

Don't know because my employer pays for all of it. I just know my deductible is $3k, after which they pay for everything, then I go to the benefits team and get them to refund half of what I paid.

innocent whites don't get shot. aggressive trailer trash whites and dindu nuffins get shot

When it's privatized, it's a business with bottom lines and sometimes a person can't afford to be healthy. This is fair.
When healthcare becomes socalized, it just turns into another "convince everyone to keep doing this through social pressures so it doesn't crash and burn". Fuck the idea that everyone deserves to be healthy and society should support that. The biggest deciding factor of your health revolves around not being stupid about what you do with your body and whay you put into it.

Get trauma cover (it includes life insurance)
If you get diagnosed with any major illnesses, including cancer, you get an instant $100k (or whatever amount you choose) - no questions asked, no need to go through private system. If you're in australia, use oaktree.com (arbitrarily, objectively awarded best insurance products for customers, multiple years in a row).

Private health cover in my country costs around $105 a month for a healthy 22 year old, and around $250 for a 40 year old, and if you get private, it'll leave you outta pocket. I'm 22 and pay $23 a month to know that if I get cancer / a serious illness, a terminal disability / illness or die, I'll get $100,000 into my account. I also pay $15 a month for an extra $50,000 cover for the same things from another insurer, which also covers my homeloan if I get injured and can't work. Finally, I have life and permanent disability insurance from my superannuation provider (our equivalent of a 401K) for $350,000 if I get very sick or die.

I've had a ruger .243 blow up in my face, requiring surgery, was walked straight into emergency, got surgery, and never payed a cent. Later, I had to be hospitalised overnight with x-rays, blood tests and scans; never payed a cent. To0 care, and all through our public system - if I had private cover, I would have been thousands out of pocket to cover gap payments.

*top care.

Feels good to know that if I die, my partner won't have to worry about a mortgage and won't have to work for a year or so. Additionally, my mother, father and sister will have something from it.

It's relaxing to know that if I get cancer, I can quit my job and pay for private treatment if I need it, and not worry about my mortgage or stress about anything - just focus on getting better. Definitely worth the peace of mind.

But then again, I'm a risk consultant and as such, am probably predisposed to think this way.

i fiinished your green text story for you, yw

it works that people who actively live a healthy life pay equal sum of money as people that actively live an unhealthy life, so that unhealthy people can be treated and cured because of their unhealthy lifestyle

if I could design healthcare system, I would incentivise people leading a healthy life so they have to spend less, while people who are actively ruining their body with cigarettes, alcohol drugs just because "its my fucking body" should pay a hefty premium to discourage such behaviour

and FYI who else thinks "its my fucking body", no it's not, there are a plethora of other microorganisms and bacteria that all work in harmony to keep "you" alive, yet you actively ruin them. stop doing that!

you dumbass, healthcare insurance already works like that. If you are a smoker you have to pay more

My health insurance does this with smoking, but only smoking. How would they keep track of who is doing unhealthy things. People lie all the time

fat people are an easy target, same as drug users.

> inb4 you dont know if somebody takes drugs


uhok and it's different for smoking? of course you can find out

German fag here, im really thankful for the health insurance here.

It's unironically really great.

for smokers, fair enough I admit defeat

however, there is no incentive for people living a healthy lifestyle, that engage in sports activities or eat organic and homegrown food for example. we still have to pay as much as the rest and will in most cases never see that healthcare money spent on us. it should be allocated for physical injuries and operations, something that can save lives, not to treat chronic diseases that could've been easily avoided just by living a more healthier life.

In a healthy country its a safety net for everyone. In an obese nation like the USA I'm paying money to keep fat niggers and spics who are on benefits alive so they can continue to leech.

I haven't been to a doctor or dentist since 2011.
