I think your friend should look for another doctor or consider medical tourism to Thailand or similar. There are a lot of options which are more economical than the inflated prices the American insurance industry has caused. I had an extensive battery of allergy tests done a few years back. It cost me $800. No idea what they charged non-cash patients, but $20k seems unusually steep. Even if you sometimes have to spend $30k, if you spend $6k a year for insurance or you just suck it up and fix the $30k problem when it comes, $30k is still probably less than $6k multiplied by every year of your life. Especially when your operation probably gets denied if you ever let coverage drop. If you can't do $30k, even on a payment plan, then you almost certainly can't consistently do $6k or more a year. |

Universal healthcare is deeply not the same thing as forcing people to buy insurance which may or may not cover what they need, when they may or may not have access to the proper doctors etc. If we were spending money on clinics or forgiving student loans for doctors who go into areas of practice we need or underserved regions etc. .... well, that would be very very different from just forcing another insurance industry bailout. |

It sounds to me like your peace of mind is expensive, but I wholeheartedly support your right to spend your money on whatever you want, even if it sounds a bit profligate to me. We need to educate people on how to find doctors. We need to get more doctors in underserved neighborhoods. We need to encourage more doctors to go into primary care. We need to have more urgent cares to take the pressure off of emergency rooms. I do not have insurance and your taxes are not covering my ER visits. I go to top doctors and choose who I want to see and I get as many second opinions as I want and I don't have to ask any insurance or government paperpushers for permissions to get medical care. |

The state can mandate if you drive a car you must indemnify the public of any statutorily imposed financial responsibly for liability damages -- auto insurance or post a cash bond with the state to self insure. OK, you can walk and driving an automobile is a privilege not a right. |

Your days are numbered at your age, you think you would be trying to enjoy life while you can instead of being a 24/7 online troll at the age of 70. :helpme |
