Healthcare costs are already 20% of our GDP and climbing. The United States has the best healthcare in the world, however; greed and corruption have captured that system. It can be saved if the people demanded it, it is just not something we understand or think about until we need it. Not only are hospitals closing, but there is no new blood offering to work as a paramedic, an EMT or a rescue worker due to the low pay or no pay. Those people are actually the ones who will determine if you live or die. Without Paramedics on site fast your chances diminish. Without EMTs there is no one applying first aid or pumping your chest; no matter if it is a heart attack or car accident.
This type of care has been in place for decades and we think it will always be there when we call 911 (just like in the movies), however, there is a big push to kill it in rural areas. Unless we wake up, the destruction will continue and no one will show up to help when we call.
There are doctors, nurses and specialists who are fighting so much corruption, that they too are exhausted. The doctors use to run the hospitals, but now the shareholder does. The government, our government, has their hand out also.
Did you know that in order for a hospital to recoup the care provided they must double or triple charge the commercial insurance consumer? The man that has a job and purchases insurance thru their work has commercial insurance. So, in other words, those who work must pay for those that don't have any insurance. Migrants anyone? This is coming into play in 2024.
There use to be a larger percentage of commercial insurance customers, (working middle class) but this is the first year that percentage is 49%. The math tells the story of doom. There are now 51% of citizens not contributing to that system of having a hospital that can pay their bills, pay doctors and pay specialists.
People can bitch all they want to about our system and level of care; that is until we no longer have a system or a hospital or emergency room. And that is arriving soon. What we will be left with, on this current course, is a class system. Only those who have money will receive care. Only those who can pay a retainer fee for a doctor will have one. It is called MDVIP-affiliated doctors.
Biggest expense other than food/energy increasing year to year. Insurance literally doubled across the board for 2024 with the exception of car insurance which I lucked out on.
Insurance is our family's biggest expense of all, and so disappointed with the level of care EVERY TIME it is used. It is another failed system!
