I stopped in at an urgent care center Thursday to get antibiotic. Less than five minutes at the UCC and 14 generic tablets cost me $87 out of pocket. I ended up in the ER in 2005 after a spider bite and the bill was over $10k a day. That was almost twenty years ago so it would probably cost twice that now. That level of price gouging when you have no alternatives should be illegal.

Healthcare as a profitable enterprise rather than a service is always going to result in controversy. One day we’re going to look back on the current healthcare landscape in this country the same way we look back on the days when fire departments were for-profit private companies rather than municipal services.
@@sacul139 How much "health insurance" do you need in Sweden which has true universal healthcare (i.e. perfectly adequate care, no more no less)? Zero.
Most Americans have no idea how cheap healthcare is in other developed countries. I’m a Korean-American and here in Korea X-rays cost 5-6 bucks, MRIs cost like 100-150 and most drugs between 5-20
I bet if we paid pennies on the dollar on extra taxes, the government could lower the administrative costs to be more fair, subsequently lowering health insurance costs. I get it, businesses love the idea of having profit margins in the mid teens, ideally around 15%. But health insurance deals with people’s lives. You can’t screw customers over just to keep your shareholders happy. You shouldn’t have to worry about putting your shareholders first. They should have focused on cutting administrative costs such as overpaying themselves with bonuses/salaries or having too many middleman, there is absolutely no reason denial of claims should be so high when premiums are so high and only getting higher.
@@johanalejandrocazadordepin7225insurance companies do not create medicines , pharmaceutical companies do. The American per capita healthcare spending is 2x European spending with worse outcomes American public spending is the same as Europe yet Americans pay out of pocket. Either nationalise healthcare or remove government intervention
Unfortunately that is not how businesses operate. Very few businesses have a 15% profit margin, in most industries a 7-8% margin is already very good. In case of United Healthcare, they had a 6% margin in the last 2 years, but their average margin is around 4-5% for the last 10 years.
@ the profit margin number is just a number and can hide excessive/unnecessary spending. Quite frankly, even if a person looks at their balance sheet/income statement, I’m sure there’s ways to hide excessive expensive in account descriptions that no one understands. So while a 6% margin makes them look humble, no one believes they are
You'll still be complaining when you get a bill for 20% of the charges - which is what Medicare dosent cover. Oh and the Medicare Part B premium of $185 a month.
Sometimes I feel truly sorry for Americans. Our free healthcare is far from perfect, but NOBODY worries about being able to afford treatment for serious illness or injury. (UK).
First, don't feel sorry for us. We are doing to ourselves. Second, one of the arguments against getting nationalized healthcare has always been to point out the imperfections in other nations systems (specifically the UK) and say "See!? Nationalized healthcare sucks!". The 'don't change what you know for what you don't know' crowd is easily swayed by these kinds of arguments.

@@dduntOn point why don't nationalize it like im canada where provincal government's agencies get billed and take it private. It will increase transparency and lower admin costs.
@@ddunt I am British by birth and lived in the UK until I was 30. I have now been in the US 10 years and am naturalized. The US system is FAR superior for those that have the means to pay for the care. I have access to treatments and drugs that I would have had to wait years on a waiting list for on the NHS. The problem is the gap for people that do not have the means.
Defining 'excessive profit' is almost impossible. If that becomes a concern for an industry, then that industry should be removed from the for-profit arena.
You neglected to mention the outcome that the ratio has had: rather than increasing coverage, it increased prices. Health insurance providers have an incentive to jack up the price of care to force the uninsured to seek health insurance. Every treatment needs to break the bank on the ticket price, but be negotiated behind the scenes to what its actually supposed to cost and the amount the insurer ultimately pays. They deny everything they can so they can keep the costs of treatments high without dipping into profits.
Another reason for those ludicrous base prices is to price gouge other health insurance companies for out-of-network services. Of course, in return affordable health insurance plans have shit out of network coverage. They don't want to donate money to other companies. It also makes it way harder for any upstart insurance companies to get a foot in the door.
I disagree with the idea that the faceless company should be the one to determine that treatment is not needed and not the hospital and doctors. Hospitals and doctors are not charities either, but they do know what their patients need for treatment, whereas the company does not. I've heard many times dumb shit where insurance won't cover certain amounts or brands of the same drug, but if you ask for slightly different of the same stuff suddenly their system approves it. It's insane and I don't fault Luigi for feeling like he needed revenge.

Trump made it possible to be uninsured with no penalty. It just drove up costs for everyone else but you don't have to. You will likely be fucked but you don't have to
And good, dispassionate analysis. We need more of this approach on the internet. What I'd like to know is how does a more profitable healthcare insurance provider benefit me? In theory, a more profitable corporation can turn that money around to innovate and make the customer experience better. So, as long as they're not just giving themselves bigger bonuses and not providing better services at the end, more profit is not necessarily a worse thing for us. But I'd like a deeper dive into that.
A dentist charged me cash price of $110 with saying that my insurance doesn’t cover their consultation because I got a maxed out of the consultation coverage. So I paid in cash at the visit and found out later that that dentist claim another $1,100 on my insurance company for 10 minutes consultation and 3 x-rays eventually denied by the insurance company. The scam artists exist out there in an insurance sector as wall as practitioner’s. Be very aware with what the doctor’s office charges you on your insurance. What they charge is ridiculously high. That is how they drive healthcare cost higher and higher for the Americans people.

It will keep getting worse as long as the healthcare companies keep prioritizing revenue growth and profits over patient care and well being. We have a perverse system where the more claims the deny, the more money they make. This needs to change or we might start to see more CEOs in the crosshairs.

I love the American system when I am travelling because cost isn’t an issue for me. But I am also glad to come home to a place where I know my neighbours are cared for.
This guy is wrong. In a public system, the standard of care is determined by medical professionals who weigh desired outcomes with curent research. It is very uncommon to need to reinvent the wheel when assessing patient care needs so the path is well understood. If you do need a new expensive treatment, then there is a process for special authorization. If declined, then you are no worse off than if you had been in private care to begin with!
Dear lord, you can move to India/China/Singapore. You get good care for a fraction of cost. A fracture here costs $12000 in India it is 120$ the only expensive payment will be ticket which you can get at $1200 bucks
Managed care insurers are not medically necessary. They are a cost in the system and create inefficiency such as administrative cost. They do not increase the quality of care, contrary to what they say they do. There should be no business in the healthcare field that seeks to create ever increasing value to their investors. The hospitals, physicians, nurses, etc are also affected by these middle men. Politicians should not be allowed to see or benefit from lobbyists, directly or indirectly. Hopefully, the Dept of Govt Efficiency will take action in 2025 to cut govt and taxpayer waste.
And its only a matter of time before the next guy snaps. Salaries need caps so profit is not the main priority. Something, anything but whatever this mess is.

We save them, but they don't want to be saved, wasting millions until it eventually the drug use and associated illness kills them. In asia, they will be allowed to do themselves in a lot sooner. Insurance has it's share of blames, but they are not the biggest source. Americans like to blame everyone except themselves.
This is not even worth a video. It's simply because decades ago Mr. Obama tried and failed to nationalize health insurance so now it's a matter of pride and spam behavior.
Imagine if people like Bernie Sanders had started an insurance company 50 years ago. We could have perfectly ethical companies. But did they do that? No. Because they are completely wedded to this notion that "the government" should be taking care of people. This is exactly why things are so jacked up.
