” I mentioned earlier that Medicare is generally for people aged 65 and older. People that age grew up in a different era where they took more responsibility for their health. Once you start including the younger generations the costs will spiral out of control.”
I dont think its an important point. I know young people careful about their health and old people that ignore it.
This is your go to for every example
elderly, Europeans All super careful about their health. dialysis patients, oh I guess they are too. You made an assertion, with out much to back it up
And no it wont spiral out of control. young people use much much less health dollars than those > 65
“I don’t believe you’ve said that they should all be closed down.”
I don’t think you are reading my posts
Here are some verbatim quotes of mine
” I don’t think health insurance should be a for profit industry.”
and
“Yes for a healthcare company to profit they have to deny healthcare. people need to suffer/die/go bankrupt. There is no other way.(you said this to me a few times as if I didnt get taht, I get it that is EXACTLY the problem with outr current system. IT CANNOT work for everyone)
The only way to have it work for everyone is for the government to step in”
and
“The truth is I don’t fault him or the company. that is their job they profit by denying healthcare that is there entire business model. I fault the business model.”
and
“You say it is a business. Yes I get that I don’t blame him. But I think it SHOULDN’T Be a business that is PRECISLEY my point. As I’ve been saying from the beginning. Business leads to morally wrong decisions and outcomes (as you agree). Healthcare as a business doesn’t work.”
I don’t understand how you could have missed all these
“The massive salaries that the CEOs make can not pay for all the claims that are denied ”
Lets take one a t a time. Lets start with him, he’s a really nice guy
“What part don’t you understand-”
I don’t understand why you keep repeatign this. Yes I know the WHY the ceo makes money. I know how. I dont think he should. I don’t think healthcare should be a for profit industry.
Your response to that has been “well the CEO deserves the profit”. He only deserves the high salary if you think healthcare should be a for profit industry. yes in a for profit healthcare world he desrves high slary. He helped guide thousands of denials! he shortned so man ylives saving the company millions. He definitely deserves his salary. But this is a premise I completely reject (again and again and again)
“As mentioned previously, Medicare works because it’s for a more responsible part of the population”
Yes you mentioned that. I dont think you have any real data to bck that up.
And again i’ll bet the extra expense incurred by the young population that ignores there health is much less than the expenses incurred by the elderly that don’t.
“When I used to take my kids to the doctor for an ear infection I would make sure to follow the doctors directions and pick up the medication right away-”
you get a gold star!
Some of my patients do some don’t I see no correlation based on their insurance
“If they keep paying all the bills (with no cost to the patient) what’s going to discourage someone with a paper cut from going to the emergency room,”
The uninsured already do that . Providing them insurance would ease the pressure on emergency rooms, they can now go to their regular doctor
