Under M4A this will be the norm. When you have a guaranteed customer prices will go up. On this the government is picking up the tab and insurance companies are being forced to pay.

@TRAZ4004 polls are unreliable. If you tell those same people that taxes will go up and they will lose their healthcare insurance M4A becomes unpopular.

True. This virus situation is becoming a scam. Now that the riots are calming down the media is talking about the virus again. People are pushing for lock downs again. Good luck with that.

You do know that COVID 19 care is being paid for by the government? This is what I have been saying for a long time. When the government pays healthcare providers jack up the prices.

Kyle rips on the private market when he, early on, said that the federal government is either picking up the tab or insurance is forced to pick it up. He is contradicting himself. Also, there are private fire departments in some places. Fire departments are ran and funded locally where around 70% of fire fighters are volunteered. Is that the type of healthcare system Kyle wants where doctors and nurses are volunteers with little to no training?

It wasn't a bill, it was a break down of cost. He is paying essentially zero as he is on medicare. This is common in healthcare where you receive a break down of cost but pay nothing.

This happens everywhere. Should we spend a trillion dollars to save one person's life?

@AshDemonYoung other nations place a price on people's lives as well. They eventually stop offering care where people die.

@auntjemima8243 all these people do here is complain as they have no real solution. They do not understand the challenges related to healthcare. I am on a group project where we have to discuss healthcare and already, in the 70s alone am I reading multiple studies and reports related to healthcare. These people feel they can just pass M4A and things will just fall in place. It isn't that easy.

@Delicious_Oreoz that is not true on funding. The tax payer funding on drugs is very vague and produces almost nothing.

On the first point that guy was not charged 1.1 million dollars. He is on Medicare and he will pay basically zero.

Malic Bk you do know that I support healthcare reform and never said the system did not have problems? Also, on the guy's first point, that man was not charged 1.1 million dollars, he is on medicare which will pick up basically all of the cost.

@JollyWanker not true. The government is picking up the tab for covid 19 treatment.

@josephheston9238 I never called Sam.

@JohnnyCageRock no he did not. Medicare is paying for it. What he got was a breakdown of the costs. This is common in healthcare. I get it via my insurance where it breaks down the costs, what my insurance pays and what I pay. But again, Medicare is paying for it. I recommend you actually read the story. Also, we have been having regulations in healthcare for decades. Medicare and Medicaid established in the 60s. The passage of the HMO in the 70s. Obamacare, etc. Federal government has a large hand in healthcare.

@AlexAustralis he was not charged. If you do not know how the current system works how can I take your serious? He was given a breakdown of the cost. But Medicare was charged in the end. He was not given a bill. With me I am given an "explanation of benefits" where the overall cost is given but what I have to pay is much lower than the overall cost. Have you guys ever had to deal with healthcare and healthcare insurance? A this point I doubt it.

@princessannabelle4524 he isn't ignoring it, medicare is paying for it. Also, even if it is sent to collections he will not go to jail. When filing for bankruptcy collectors cannot contact you. Your credit history will suffer but that's it. Also, with these high prices this is a sign that when government picks up the tab prices get jacked up.

@kfcfingerlicker9292 I do have morality, problem is that the far left goes too far on it. On economic issues, at the core, the left bases their ideas on emotions and the right bases their ideas on facts and reasoning. Not saying one side is better, we need both. However, people here become too emotional and lost logic. As for morals, I have a lot. If you really know what I support I support more local government as you end up with a community effort and more connection. To many here want to expand the federal government and simply have some organization, which whom they have no connection with, handle it. Take M4A for example. They just want the federal government to handle it and refuse to accept the challenges that will take place such as who will decide what is elective? Who will determine prices and based on what? Easy to just pass the buck. I volunteered many times in my life. When a family lost their home to a fire I helped raise money for them. It was a community effort. Actions speak louder. One of my friends recently died with cancer. I helped raise money for his family where he is leaving behind a wife and two young kids. There are subjective and objective side. The subjective side is much more challenging to handle and thus should be done locally, not federally.

So let me get this straight. The federal government is willing to pay for COVID 19 care (they do pay for treatment), and forced insurance to pay for it, and prices are high? This is what I have been saying all along. That is why I am saying that under a M4A system it will not cost less as providers will jack up prices as they know they have a guaranteed customer.
1
@jonblaze4244 how so? What makes you think they will? Why did they not do it in this case? As for the USPS, where are places that UPS and FedEx do not deliver? Also, the USPS is not very efficient.

@Savageincarnate no it has not. Here is an example. The federal government is paying for this and look how prices are high.

@AlexAustralis other nations regulate prices by limiting access to care. What we are seeing here is a guarantee customer, thus prices go up . The problem with our nation is that we do not want to reduce the amount of access of healthcare we have. "The reality is that with M4A, they will have all the benefits they had under their previous insurance and likely more at a lower cost. " Not true as that is economically impossible, period. Other nations spend less because they offer less. We offer the most advanced testing in the world at shorter wait times. That cost money.

@Savageincarnate the testing
1
@AlexAustralis in Australia you are offered less care. In the US we offer the most care as in we have access to the most advanced testing and care along with shorter wait times. Now there are arguments for and against that but that is the reality. Very basic economics is that if you set a price ceiling you end up with an inefficient system. You also say "some wait times for non-essential quality of life procedures such as knee replacements, laser eye surgery, etc. " Which, to be blunt, shows you ignorance on the topic. To start, laser eye surgery in the US is not covered by any insurance. Next, in Australia, according to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, some "elective" surgery include heart and neurosurgery where up to 7000 die a year waiting for such "elective" surgery. So right away I know more about your healthcare system than you do.
