[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was watching that 1,000 pound sisters show and I shudder at the money being spent on the one sister. She's been in a care facility for a YEAR. She has no means of making a living, she had the bariatric surgery, but then there's the skin surgery - it has to be millions on her, meanwhile there are kids in this country that can't see a dentist. I dunno. There has to be a limit somewhere. [/quote]

THIS. And the fact that we can’t discuss this, and micro preemies (which seem to get smaller each year and it’s praised like some medical achievement) and expensive treatment for terminal illnesses. We have to talk about it - it’s unaffordable and unattainable. Those that don’t see this have large employee heavily subsidized insurance, which still gets more expensive every year. It’s way more than inflation - our ACA plan with no changes went up 25% in a YEAR. [/quote]

Sure, those are extreme examples. But what you really want is to deny medical treatment to these outliers because you see it as somehow interfering with your own healthcare coverage. It's selfish.[/quote]

It is having an effect everyone’s coverage, ACA, employer sponsored, Medicare, Medicaid, you name it. Everyone is paying more because we cover these crazy extremes. [/quote]
