This USA healthcare thing is barbaric.

Truff!

I've had 3 surgeries in 8 month and have never seen a bill.

Because its "free", right?

Free at the point of delivery is the part you always miss there.

And we might pay more taxes so our system is available to EVERYONE. Not just the rich. Bottom line is when someone gets sick or injured here, they get fixed. No questions asked. Down in 'Merica, you have to decide if you are going to save the life or go bankrupt.

The only thing your system accomplishes is making the rich, richer. But thats true about everything down there. Wars, business, etc.

Keep telling yourself your way is better. I'll stay up here and look in envy.

Never said ours is/was better. In fact I think ours is fucked. It's just intellectually dishonest to imply or suggest Canadians don't have to pay for health care.

Don't worry, Republicans are going to pass a Great, Huge health care reform right AFTER the 2020 election.

Be sure to vote GOP straight ticket! Trump will also deliver on that middle class tax cut he promised last year as well!

If you have more or different links please contact me and I will add them to this list. Thank you!

Let me lay the smackdown on this shit.

I make what should be considered good money in this economy. I have some CC debt, a mortgage, tool dealer bills ect. I have ONE drug I take named BRIO that is $360 a month. Thats $12 every morning when I puff it into my lungs. Plus my Coumadin, the Afib meds, the diuretic pills, the Warfarin, the albuterol inhaler, the alprozalam. I am stretched every week to make my bills, and some days I cut pills in half because I cant afford the prescription that week. I've applied for assistance for my Brio, but I make too much money. Nevermind I could choose to lose my house or quit my job and get it. Its the same with hospital bills, if you have nothing, you can get sponsored. If you work and are trying to just get by, you cant get shit. You have to lose your home, job, everything before you can get any help.


And I'm not even going into to $40,000 I owe one hospital, and $19,000 I owe another. I went from a 725 credit rating to a 565 in 6 months. I'm fucked.

I AM the poster child of what universal healthcare would prevent.

Is this with or without insurance?

Without. Again, i can afford insurance or my mortgage - which are both about the same, but not both, and I'm partial to sleeping in a bed out of the rain.

Thats a shitty situation, Don. I hope you can figure something out. Without getting into the understandably personal details, how did you get yourself into that bummer situation where you had to make that choice? Paying for a mortgage and insurance is SOP for most of us. The lack of insurance seems to be the obvious root of the problem.

[AnalHamster]

Yeah fess up Donny, it has to be your fault somehow.

Im a conservative Democrat.

Dude! I almost squirt coffee out my nose!

[CHEEZY17]

Yeah fess up Donny, it has to be your fault somehow.

Literally millions upon millions of Americans pay for a mortgage and insurance every month; myself included and probably most of this board. I did it when I was making $10 per hour. He said himself he makes "good money". I obviously don't know dons situation but it seems to me some choices were made in the past that are now coming home to roost.

Were insurance rates and property values are what they are now when you got 10 an hour?

I don't know what his property values and or mortgage are and I don't know how much he researched insurance options before deciding against it. I do know that when I was making $10 an hour it was certainly not "good money". I bought a piece of shit house with a mortgage I could afford that included factoring in all my other expenses including insurance. If he can't afford both like millions of people do every month then something is out of whack and adjustments need to be made. It's not like paying for both is unheard of or unusual.

[AnalHamster]

Yeah, the reaction that I get these days is similar to the one you two lugnuts give. There was a time when the party was big tent. Not anymore

It's not the concept of a conservative democrat that is amusing, it's the notion that you are one. You are a consistent trump ballwasher on everything.

I'm not going to get into it too much, but I went from 2 incomes paying the bills to only mine, and inherited a load of CC debt on cards that were in my name. I was struggling to keep everything paid and barely hanging on (but doing it!) until I became sick. You miss roughly 7 weeks of work and the bills and penalties start adding up to make one hell of a hole to climb out of. No insurance is offered through my job.
