[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the past 18 days we've had 1 daughter with covid, dh had the flu and my 18 year old who is set to take her state practical esthetician licensing test this Wednesday has been diagnosed with carpel tunnel syndrome and has been to the er and 1 orthopedic doctor who referred her to another. So financially it sucks because we have a $6000 deductible and the medical bills are coming in already.[/quote]

I hear you.  I had to have emergency major surgery on January 3 a few years ago.  OMG, the bills!  Not a happy new year then, for sure.[/quote]

I love the United States and I am proud to be an American. I feel like as a country we are being taken for a ride. Our healthcare expenses are absolutely insane. [/quote]

Only 1st world country that has personal bankruptcies due to medical bills (and it’s the leading cause of personal bankruptcy).

It’s nuts that it’s a massively controversial debate over telling drug companies that you can’t sell your drugs to other 1st world countries at significantly lower prices than what you charge Medicare and US insurers.

Nobody is even telling them they need to lower their prices here…just if you charge the US $10 then you can’t sell to France for a $1, you either sell to them for $10 or lower the US to a $1.

Just one nuts example.[/quote]

We are subject to a corpocracy.[/quote]

And thanks to Trump, seniors on Medicare and people on Medicaid just lost their $35 insulin.  Breaks my heart, because I've been in a pharmacy picking up insulin and had people ask me if there was any way I could get them a vial (of course I can't).  It is essential for some people and costs just a couple of dollars to manufacture, yet the insurance and pharma industries have people over a barrel once again.[/quote]
