Share stories of friends, family, etc. to showcase your opinion of it. Could even be practices they’ve implemented or whatever.

Talk about the healthcare system, let’s make this a forum to talk about it from all walks of life.

P. S. What happened in NYC was downright evil and our country has no place for violence, this is not about that. Let’s FOCUS on having a larger conversation about the impact on lives across the nation.

I hear fraud, doctor’s offices that aren’t compatible with certain insurance costing Americans an arm & a leg, and overcharging, screwing over people also shady business deals. Share your story!

I got free healthcare for being alaskan native. So if that's doable the greatest country to ever exist can do it better.

As I understand it doctors are half the time doing paperwork for insurance companies and not actually helping people. So we save more tax money that's already 2/3 of all medical spending in the industry if we had a single payer health care.

Well I’m happy you are able to get free healthcare man! Really good! Though yeah the system can be better if they implemented such change.

It's not perfect but a for profit company maintains it so the greatest country should be better at it.

A hard part of it is do feel trapped living in one place. Same can be said with people getting health care from employers benefits. We have underutilized experts trapped by healthcare benefits. holding back advancement for all of our country if not the world. Pushing the limits of humanity.

Single payer would be cheaper and un unshackle our potential of carving a better future.

I think the most healthcare insurance companies go out of their way to deny claims anytime they think they can get away with. It. Is sometimes leads to some pretty terrible end results as the recent assassination of the CEO of a healthcare insurance company shows. Making people angry in order to make a profit is a very dangerous thing to do obviously.

Absolutely! If they accepted everybody they would be bankrupt, it is a scam since they know their legal know-how & loopholes with overpriced lawyers can swindle anyone and accept so few while raking in the dough.
My elderly relatives were denied the insurance they paid for 20+ years straight because he “refused care” from stubbornness which comes with the stressful situation with afflicted ailment and thousands of dollars of care were lost when if they just saved the money it probably would’ve been worth getting a private caregiver than trying to get a discount that was in no way going to be cashed out due to these blood thirsty assholes.

It costs $2000 for a woman to give birth in the UK vs $12000 in the US. In the UK we have national health insurance, which cuts out the private health insurance companies which Jack's up the the price of healthcare.

Your system is a finer system that’s for certain.
Love how you cut out the bullshit and help their citizens with this. $10,000 cheaper and Heaven forbid we do something that helps the average American when it comes to letting women give birth without costing an arm & leg to do.

Just more vultures looking to squeeze money from people at their expense

[Asker]

The broken system works for them, we get shafted & never reap the benefits while they always will reap the profits that’s for damn sure.

i think they want ur money , thats what they care about , if you exercise sleep and eat less then u will have less health problems and no need for pharmaceutical drugs

Every industry wants your money. A lot of software companies like Microsoft & Google only want your money at the expense of the consumer in terms of privacy, support, and your data. All businesses are greedy though it is important to know their greed and the expenses of the people so we can continue to speak out & hold them accountable. State Farm stopped insurance in California due to the wildfires since their business only works when people don’t actually cash in their insurance, if people kept cashing in they’d go bankrupt… It is an illusion and scam though it is a scam pretty much all people need to fall into which is messed up.

I work for the state so I have a Cadillac Health plan. My wife is a cancer survivor so we pay extra to get the best one. I had a total hip replacement and I paid a 20 dollar copay.
