"You think the government cares about you and your health?"

And you think corporations do?!

Billionaires might travel to the US for gold plated concierge level health care, but 3X more Americans travel abroad for healthcare than those who travel to the US. The reason? Ridiculous cost. The US healthcare system is the most expensive per capita (X2 or X3), the most wasteful, most inefficient and least effective in the industrialized world, and that is with a substantial portion of the population with no coverage at all.

Yes.

The explanation is quite simple.

People with weapons will tell you what to pay.

There, nine words is all it took.

[Gerald Davis]

The state is my friend.

Is it fair for doctors to charge you 120$ just to send you to another fucking doctor?

[Adil Yusuf]

No a bad start, but is insurance a right or a privilege?? Is it fair to take money from doctors??

I ask for a prescription to relieve my back pain, and she prescribes me naproxen or some shit. Not only are the side effects stomach pain, nausea and stomach bleeding. The medication didn't even help my back, it worsened my stomach symptoms terribly. I possibly have a peptic ulcer now, and i'd have to pay another 120$ just to fucking tell her what an idiot she is. This shit is all one big scam.

[Konohas Oyabun]

Fuck all health professionals and lying hospitals. I pay 120$ to see a doctor, she gives me twenty minutes of her time asking my symptoms. Then she sends me to get a 250$ ultrasound, I go back to her and she cant even tell me what's wrong. So then she schedules me to see a Urologest and overall spent 30 minutes combined on me. I tell her my symptoms are back pain, stomach pain and nausea.
