re: Healthcare cannot be fixed

In the world of healthcare wonkery, Singapore is actually really well-respected. Translatability to a much bigger country and of course all the path-dependent issues for translation makes it debatable how much anyone should care.

and then the provider charges your insurance company more to cover the people who don’t have insurance.
This is 100% illegal.

You see this is why you're basically just a child. There's a no moral component to it. I said nothing about the word deserve. But you're a child so that's what you hear

Morally? Correct. Emotionally? Correct

The party who runs on that is the party that will be ousted electorally or violently. Besides, it is in the state’s interest to have a healthy, fit populace.
frick them kids and grandparents isn’t a real platform. Your mind has been cuckolded by big pharma and health insurance.

Nah, she’s just a woman. In her mind empathy is first and foremost the driving factor. There’s nothing wrong with having empathy but believing public policy should be based on empathetic values is always a losing proposition. It’s literally the road to hell paved with good intentions.

Good idea. Stop paying poor people eat junk food and get fat as frick. Obesity is easily the biggest threat to a healthy and fit populace.

I don’t know how these things are calculated but it seems that if most people don’t go over their would-be lifetime maximums, the calculated risk of someone doing so would be negligible anyway.
If I have 1,000,000 people on my plan who have lifetime maximums of 1,000,000, then my total risk is easily calculated.
Now remove the maximums.
You have an incalculable total risk. It can be priced in. But is at a premium versus the lifetime maximum provision.

I used to be part of a committee that advocated on our behalf. Met with congressmen and all that…but nothing would change so I just said screw it I’d rather spend my free time with the family.
I did that for a few years with hospice benefits. It was eye opening. After meeting with my congresspersons from Missouri, and having seen the lobbying process I just said, “Eh. We’re fricked. Someone else can do this.”

What I’m saying is doctor X cannot overcharge patient Y because he had to take care of patient Z who has no insurance. Period.
But the system has figured in its cost of indigent care into their rate setting. If they didn’t, that would be reckless and irresponsible.

That is my point. That poster just sniped in and wasn’t who I replied to…acted crude themselves but wanted to feign sanctimony. Calling them out, not policing etiquette.

Ask Natasha Richardson about "universal" access to care which was/is literally available anywhere in the US.
WhoopsiDooo!
You can't ask Natasha,
because she died awaiting access to care in the Canadian "Universal Healthcare" system.
A few years ago, I saw a statistic from a Canadian cancer advocacy group that said more people per capita are diagnosed with cancer every year in the US, but more people per capita die from cancer in Canada every year.

Not even remotely comparable, definitely an extremely stupid comparison.
No illegal immigrants racking up thousands at emergency rooms
No fat Bertha whos just obese and lazy.
And no.Shaniqua or Consuela with ten kids and no baby daddy in sight.

Wife and I both have insurance, she carries the kids. Anytime we go anywhere and don’t receive what I think is the value of the bill, we just don’t pay it. It’s usually some specialist trying to get a few hundred dollars after insurance already paid out a couple thousand. There’s always more specialist. Screw em
