I went on Obama Care and needed a double lung transplant due to Idiopathic Fibrosis (IPF) No fault of my own. 100% was covered. That is $1,290,000 plus the hospital stay 11 days. Thank you, President Obama, for caring.
As a Canadian, being young and healthy, I've never really had to interact with hospitals yet. Las month, my fiance fainted twice and watch registered low heart rates, we went into ER. He was in in about an hour (admittedly very fast for the area, slow night, I guess) they put him in a bed, did multiple blood tests, EKG, ultrasound, kept him overnight and did a MRI, in the morning. Gave him a mobile ekg to keep on for two days to record and see what what going on, longer term. $0 Once I realized just how much they did, and being more aware of American healthcare than ours, honestly, the awareness of what that bill would have been, was a shock. Really opened my eyes and gave me a whole new appreciation for this country I love.
I am happy for you.This turned out like this. I know europe is suffering a little bit and a lot of things are not covered anymore or only to a minimum and healthcare is declining and waiting periods to see a specialist are completely insane.
@@InTheLight54 And you know this HOW? I live in Europe,(Portugal), and the healthcare remains free! My family doctor spends nearly an HOUR talking with me! The Emergency room helps the most urgent cases first and all cases are classified according to degree of urgency. Stop promoting tropes about subjects you do not know about first hand!
YOU HOT THAT RIGHT, AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE THE ENEMY OF THE RICH, THE EDUCATION, MEDICAL, FOOD INDUSTRY, THE OIL COMPANIES AND BIG PHARMA, AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
About the Asian lady who talked about her company contributing to HSA to cover her health expense, she wouldn't get this if she was a H-1B immigrant worker. This is just one of the corners that employers cut when hiring a H-1B visa worker to save the company money. This is how employers deny jobs to Americans so they can pay less to immigrants. This is not "America First." This is "The Rich First."
My husband has had an H1B and it was the same coverage as now with a Greencard. But it might depend on company or state. Definitely agree with your last statement though, everything is for profit and it ruins the social fabric.
Last April, my husband collapsed in front of me and I started CPR immediately, and then the ambulance came and come to find out he had a brain bleed in the brain stem. And there was no more brain function, but for some reason they kept him on a ventilator without a chance of recovery, and he was in that emergency room for 4 hours unresponsive and and they sent me a bill for seventeen thousand dollars.
It's so expensive, but half of America voted against healthcare bc they voted for Cheeto. ACA had helped me. But now i will have nothing. Thx, Maga. If everyone canceled their healthcare they would send everyone to collectors. They will get their money.
What is the one young dude on about with the stupid dinner analogy? It's a fundamental misunderstanding of the premise. He's just appealing to your greed. Healthcare should NOT be a for profit business. He has no idea what he's talking about. He's also telegraphing that because he can afford special treatment, it's fine. He doesn't care that you can't. So, no, a tiny handful of the mega rich can dictate concierge care. Everyone else gets what they get. That's why 60k a year die from lack of care. We are the only developed nation without nationalized medicine.
He's the sort of idiot who thinks that being allowed into the house makes you part of the family. I hope his stupid ass winds up on the street because of health care costs.
@Scarbonac I agree. Most health problems are unpredictable. It is not like ordering at a restaurant. And we are not medical experts. Honestly, the comment made in the video is one of the most stupid comment I have seen in my life. And he thinks he nailed it. Unbelievable. When I need a good laugh, I come back and watch it again.
Yeah, I’ll need to call for them to reinstate Obamacare cause that’s the best healthcare plan for everybody wrote. They’re not gonna come up with nothing better than that.
What percentage of your wages do you pay in health insurance? In Australia, we have Medicare - our universal health care. All tax payers pay 2% of their earnings which goes into the health system. You can also have private health insurance if you wish. If you need an elective procedure in a hospital and don't have private insurance, you will go onto a waiting list. Life threatening procedures are attended to straight away and there is no out of pocket payment. My husband & I have private cover and he recently had a hip replacement in a private hospital. The ensuing out of pocket payment was $750.00. Had we not had that insurance, it would have been $34K. After being home for a few days the wound started bleeding and we were told to go to our nearest public hospital. He was there for eleven days. The care was amazing and it didn't cost us a penny. A visit to your family doctor is covered by Medicare too, but if your doctor doesn't bulk bill, there may be an additional gap to pay yourself - maybe $20.00ish. Our system's not perfect, but I sure wouldn't want to get sick in America.
@@itsmainelyyou5541 In Oz, if you don't get private hospital insurance by July 1 following your 31st birthday, you'll pay an extra 2% for every year you're older than 31 when you start your cover. It's an incentive for people to join and it takes a pressure off the public system. The loading is added to your premium and can't exceed 70%. You'll have to pay the loading for at least 10 years. After that, the loading is removed. Luckily, for the last 35 years, we haven't had any major health issues. We joined a health fund in April '24, and to cover both of us, the premium is $610/month. This gives us 'Silver Premium' cover. It's a lot of money, but it gives us peace of mind and I can reconcile this by knowing that we've saved about $180K over that time.
I mean look at the salary of the CEO of these hospitals and such, they're not doctors, their ceos, yet they make as much or more money than the doctors
I disagree with the guy who's against universal healthcare. Insurance companies are doing to us what he claims the government will do to us. If universal healthcare can work in other countries, then why can't it work in the U.S.?
Worse than you may think! I witnessed a Stroke victim in an _ER._ There are treatments, if timely applied, can reduce the permanent paralysis. Though not if are a "Walk-In" with a 4-hour wait! Call a $600 Ambulance, get "first-served" status!!! Or call your personal Physician, for some "Kick-along"!
(POV: I'm Danish) "Restaurant guy" has gotten something wrong as I understood him. It's not like our politicians can directly tell the hospital what to do. The politicians set the budget based on input from actual medical professionals and economists working together. When the budget is set, which is usually a multi-partisan agreement as we have many parties so they HAVE to work together, all that they can influence is something like wanting to improve certain areas of treatment and overall stuff like that. BUT they will have to set aside money specifically for those things. After that the power over that money is handed over to the healthcare sector and thus the hospitals do not have to abide to any politician's whim as he claims. Not even our prime minister has that power. 🤷♀️ At the same time, having one major customer (the state) gives a much better power when negotiating with the medical suppliers which makes the medicin MUCH cheaper, both for the hospitals and the patients.
I WENT TO A GOVERNMENT CHIROPRACTOR & HE WALKED AROUND THE TABLE I WAS SITTING ON WHILE HE WAS SPEAKING ON A MICROPHONE & HE NEVER TOUCHED MY BODY ANYWHERE & I DON'T RECALL HIM ASKING ME A QUESTION BEYOND ASKING WHAT WAS MY NAME & THA BILL WAS $489.00!!!!!!!!¡
This would be more relatable if it wasn't a chiropractor. A real doctor such as a physiotherapist or a sports injury or muscle specialist for example. Chiropractors will charge you for doing nothing, whether they touch you or not.
I just went through 5 years of fixing my eye in Australia total cost $46 I have other health issues and I just rock up to my Dr when I need to. Go see specialist for maybe $200 or so but if you go through a hospital it is free.I love Australia
I actually liked going to the clinic, because I got most of my medication for free, I was able to get ozempic for a year from the clinic for free, and I lost $75, now that I have insurance, the insurance company has to approve it first, and they said it's $1,100 for one prescription per month

14:26 Is this guy some kind of healthcare apologist? He just rambles. And comparing services at a restaurant and a hospital is ridiculous and is illogical. There are many ways to make a spaghetti dish with various pastas and sauces. There's only one way to do brain or heart surgery.

People here actually also rather go on a trip or buy a car. Instead, off taking care of a health problem, they have. Yes, I just went through this with a friend of mine who has a very bad health insurance, and she had to pay for heart tests.
If the government is footing the bill for healthcare they have an incentive to insure their population is healthy and that health care is high quality and cheap. Without that, they have no reason to care if you're healthy or not and couldn't care less how much is costs
Health insurance is private. Hospitals are private. The ACA was passed to make sure you couldn’t deny people with preexisting conditions, give subsidies, and allowed college aged students to stay on their parents health insurance Are you old enough to remember? Let me guess you’re just regurgitating conservative talking points. I remember before the ACA when people would die (still do) because of a lack of insurance.
The condescending restaurant guy is assuming health insurance gives af... in a perfect world he's right... but he sounds like a health insurance employee I COMPLETELY DISAGREE HEALTH CARE SUCKS
Let’s cancel our insurance, my deductible is too high, my rx deductible is $2300 and I pay $1000 a month. I pay out of pocket for most of the year while paying $1,000 a month. What is the point? I can only see a handful of doctors most are NP’s. I pay $12,000 just in case I have to go to the hospital. This restaurant analogy is just not true! Doctors have to follow protocols with diseases, a doctor is not concerned if a difficult patient leaves. They could care less.
1/6/2025 Consumers need to learn and study their health insurance policies. Review them. I am guilty of not fully knowing my own. I am not passing judgment. But know your policy and its limitations
In the hospitals do not mind, they need the tax write-offs or they have to pay more taxes, most chances are the write-offs cover all the taxes they would have had to pay anyway
It is a tax write-off for the hospitals, so they don't really care, I went to the hospital several times in my lifetime and couldn't afford to pay it, they will send you a bill once or twice, but you never get nothing from a collection agency or anything like that, and it does not go against your credit score either, so it is what it is, when you go there with insurance they know automatically they're going to double the fee
I think it I was American, I wouldn't have health insurance. Instead I'd put the money that would otherwise pay for that into a seperate account just accruing money then if something DID happen that I needed healthcare for I'd use that money to fly to a country where that's affordable. Doesn't work for immediate life threatening stuff (like getting shot because murica) but for the vast majority of health issues, you're not immediately dying and can wait a few weeks to go overseas and get BETTER care for far less.
I mean if the hospital has a million dollars of write-offs, that's not how much it costs for those hospital visits, those hospital visits may have actually cost a $500,000, so that means the hospital profited $500,000 by writing it off
I moved to Atlanta from Boston... by law i have to insure my ex husband. I pay $450 a month for insurance i can't use because I'm out of network BUT HE CAN because he's in Boston
I think everyone should cancel their health insurance set up a separate account and place what you normally would pay for health insurance into that account and do the same for your children after they are born. Then when you do need health care you will have money to cover it or at least cover most of it and you won't need health insurance. AND since you started early for your children they will never need health insurance.
To the woman who i'll talk to about hospital writing off medical debt that is incorrect. They do not just ride off a medical debt. Bought to will go after it for a long time and then sell the debt to a debt collector and then it will end up on your credit report et.Cetera et cetera. Some hospitals, especially in rural areas, can't afford to lose payments to them and well, hire a lawyer and go after property, you have.
I am disabled and had to pick a new health insurance plan for this year. (My united Healthcare decided to stop covering dental all together and stopped many other things.) I called for 7 days talking to reps on all the different plans that were out there. I had to get a dental heavy plan because i need some major dental work done. I had to finally compromise with a plan that didnt cover some of my drs but had good dental. I see my dr every 3 months and have others that are just as oftten. My medication alone costs 14,000.$ a year. If biden hadnt put the 2,000$ limit on meds id be so screwed. We need Healthcare for all so bad and i dont know why everyone doesnt agree. Its mind boggling. Edit: for the guy that says it's a bad thing, he isn't looking at it right. Healthcare for all would cover all and if you want something extra you will have to get a prior authorization or get a payment plan with the facility. I mean this in if you want something that is considered totally and fully elective. Everything and all drs would be covered. That's the point of Healthcare for all.
You are correct the lies start with this headline. Congress has been on break thru 3Jan. There has been NO vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act aka Obamacare.
