[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having battled with Aetna, our insurance system is broken. They profit off people’s illness and withholding care. The fact that the majority of people who declare bankruptcy due to medical bills have insurance, tells you everything you need to know about the U.S. HC system.[/quote]

I have been railing against the US system for years, and even I didn't know this. I just verified it -- :wink: -- and it said the "majority" was around 75-80%.

That's shocking and so so wrong. [/quote]

Yes it is absolutely wrong. This is why I don’t subscribe to Luigi as a politically motivated shooting. Insurance companies f**k over Republicans just as much as Democrats. I truly feel that shooting transcends politics and speaks more about our healthcare system.

I also know of a special ed teacher who has stage 4 breast cancer and is having to work during treatment (both radiation and chemo) to pay her bills and keep her insurance. She was just fired for calling in sick because the chemo is so strong. This country is brutal.[/quote]
Yep I know a few people who had to work through cancer treatments just for the insurance.

I also know people who died of cancer  pre ACA because they either  hit the lifetime max, which is easy to do with cancer treatments, or didn't have insurance.

I know several people in the UK who had cancer and beat it.  They didn't pay anything for the treatment.[/quote]
