Yea, gubment money.......It is quite easy to see the numbers on gubment health care spending and see the numbers from the top 10 Hospital companies...

That same hospital that you are bitching about is the very thing that may keep you alive the next time you need emergency medical help. You say that you don't care about life but I bet you will change your tune the next time you are on your death bed from some type of accident and need that medical help to live.

You talk about death like it's nothing. That is a problem that you need to address. It's talk like that that gets you into trouble. You have no empathy for others which is a typical extreme right wing trait.

when uncle sugar pays the bills, and PAYS for **** near everything, and the bills are being paid to PRIVATE / for PROFIT companies, well you have what we have.

Most places that have universal health coverage and that coverage is a "right", also have pretty freaking CLEAR mandates and regulations on profits......Profits at the provider level.

There are reasons our **** doesn't work. And it is easy to fix, IF we want to fix it.

Health care cost are out of sight, that is true. So you want the Government to pay for all health care costs now? That would be nice for poor people who can't afford to go to the Hospital and get medical care due to the high costs and lack of good health care insurance.

I recently had a hospital Procedure which costs around $7000.00. The cardiologist was paid around $1200 and the hospital got the rest. The procedure itself lasted less than 45 minutes. I was in and out. They put me under for the procedure so I could not drive home afterwards. I had to hire a taxi to get home. That was the worst part of the procedure. The phlebotomist got the needle into my arm for the IV in the first try. So that was good. I went to sleep and woke up just fine. My Atrial Fibrillation was gone, and I was back in a normal sinus rhythm. I feel a lot better. And my insurance paid for everything. So I didn't have any out of pocket expenses. I wish that everyone would have good insurance and help them pay for these sky high Doctors and hospital costs.

Glad to hear all went well. And totally agree medical procedure and rx costs are in my opinion criminally higher, price gouging, and ought be audited and squashed to reasonable levels.

Hey Geo, re: old folks and medical vs funeral services. What age do you propose is old enough and no longer justified for medical attention to continue increased life span . My grandmother was over 100 when she passed and served as a volunteer Grey lady from ages 18 till 95. She stopped working and retired because at age 95 she didn’t feel safe walking the 3 miles to and from the hospital where she served. 👍

I’m a veteran and over 65. So at what point am I expected to roll over and save taxpayers my disability and retirement payments?
