@ Vendor-Lazarus:Speaking of, how true is it that most everyone in the US is on drugs, legal or illegal?
-
@ Dale Gribble:I see it more so in my parents generation, having a pill for everything. Guarantee any older southern mema or papa has health issues after a lifetime of sodas gravy and fried chicken
-
@ Dale Gribble:Me personally I avoid the doctor like the plague, but that’s mainly because I’m scared.
-
@ Dale Gribble:If I don’t feel good I normally fast for 12-24 hours, take dandelion root/elderberry syrup/golden honey and try to get extra sleep
-
@ Vendor-Lazarus:If you were homeless, they couldn't send you mail. Which is apparently the way to go about "paying" US medical bills. It gets cheaper the longer you wait to pay them.
-
@ Dale Gribble:yup I have like 30k in medical bills I can’t pay. What am I supposed to do? I don’t have it
-
@ Houseman:Just plead with them on the phone, and continue not to pay it. They'll possibly lower it or come up with a payment plan. If it gets passed off to collections, do the same. Just keep stalling. Eventually they will figure that some money is better than no money. But this is just what I've heard. There are many stories like this
-
@ Dale Gribble:Wanna know what’s really funny? 20k of that is from a life saving surgery my wife needed that my insurance decided was elective and only covered 40%
-
@ Battousai:Do you americans not understand that you are legit the only people who have this insurance bullshit or what? And I don't even mean free state healthcare or anything like that, seriously I pay a private medical insurance company and this shit doesn't happen, its illegal. Bro I pay about 154 USD a month and I get a full coverage, come on man. This is making it seem like you all need to do the same as Luigi with every single insurance executive in the US until the message comes through loud and clear.
-
@ Vendor-Lazarus:It does sound bizarre indeed. I may pay 30% wage tax, 30% income tax, and 30% sales tax at minimum, but I've had at least 4 surgeries and only paid 100$ each visit.

@ Arnox:
Well, how you gonna fix that? Oh, you need Congress. Well, how you gonna get Congress to pass bills to regulate it? Oh wait, you don't! :) I mean, we have a budgetary bill going through Congress right now and they were told to lower the national debt. Their response? Keep most of the bullshit programs and cut Medicaid.Battousai said: -
@ Vendor-Lazarus:Sort of related/unrelated, but I heard the ATF is going to be folded into the DEA.. (also cost-cutting?)
-
@ Battousai:
This is all well and good, but given all I read its making it sound like this is just an exception and not something that should definitely be the rule. You can't be charging a regular joe 30k dollars for a surgery to save a family member and then they are indebted for a couple of generations, shit is ridiculous.Vendor-Lazarus said:
