I recently broke my wrist while skateboarding, I'm 34 so that is my first mistake
I had two X-rays and anaesthetic and need my hand pulled out of my forearm and the bones manipulated back inline with eachother. I've got an appointment next week, if my bones have moved I'll need surgery to have my bones wired together
That is all free on the NHS, I did a little look in America what I've had done would of cost me $6-7000 if I had no insurance. If I need surgery it would be an extra $10,000+ more on top.
What's your views on American healthcare?
Is insurance cheaper than what I pay in taxes?
Do the insurance companies try to screw you out of care?
How much do the premium costs rise after having surgery or care?
I know Trump cut out the middleman on medication, how corrupt is the system with so many people making money in between the gaps?
I'm completely ignorant on American healthcare system but I personally like free healthcare, I know such leftie talk is not welcome here but I'm happy to hear your opinions.
Edit: I'm asking how the American system works, most people want to just talk about the NHS and it's failures which there is many. What are the pros and cons of American private as I have no idea about it
I know you just stuck your fellow countrymen for tens of thousands in surgery and physical therapy expenses from a skateboarding accident and are quite pleased about it.
That's info you gave me, I'm not assuming anything.
How am I pleased about that? What did I say? Or are you just a dickhead.
Yes, yes he is.
The US health cartels successfully tied health care (erroneously called "insurance") plans to the workplace. Employers pay in per employee and the employee also pays in by force. They must go to in-network doctors who follow the insurance company's directives for care else they get expelled/not paid.
Alternatives still exist but they're making it harder each year to have medical freedom by centralizing and monopolizing care under the cartels.
If one can find a independent group share plan, everyone pays in and covers each other without the cartel rules. If one has money saved up they can have their own funds cover themselves, but must negotiate "cash prices" for care.
Some enterprising docs are banding together for subscription care, called different things but essentially one pays their group directly and gets all care or cheaper a la carte care, even house visits, with that practice or group.
Thank you I'm trying to build a picture of how it works in America and the other comments shown me how it works but your comment shown me how the elite are trying to corner you to relying on them.
I wasn't expecting that but it's appreciated. I see why there are strong opinions on not letting the cabal strangle you into surrendering your right to choose a plan that is not interfered by them.
I hope you have a lot more doctors coming to your defense.
We look for alternatives, but they tend to get run out of town, so to speak. Many truth-tellers have been killed along with their families over the years, especially if they gain followings and awaken people to the benefits of natural medicine (it seems that the world was designed to provide what we need). DOs, Drs of Osteopathy, are holistic and worth seeking out.
