Idk, dont a lot of states offer temporary insurance if you have a grave condition? My friend had to have his gall bladder out 2 years ago and the state gave him temporary insurance for the surgery.

my brother has type 1 diabetes and TN doesn't cover the insulin that he needs to take daily, nor does he qualify for medicaid/tenncare. just to put that in perspective, without insulin he will die. so i guess it's only considered a grave condition if it's not, you know, ongoing. fuckin american healthcare system, i swear to fuck.

even when he had insurance, they covered the insulin, right? BUT NOT THE SYRINGES TO INJECT IT. ex-fucking-splain that shit to me, because i'd love to understand the rationale there.

Doctors will probably bail and move to a country where they'll get paid better though

$50,000 transplant my mom got a couple years ago cost us nothing, but then again they did fuck up when she became diabetic a couple monthes later and she got a blood infection that killed'er all because they didn't bother to check if rejection drugs + insulin = bad.

i think they will be sorely disappointed in most other first-world nations. we're just about the only guys who allow our drug industry to dictate preferred treatments to our doctors.

Not that I ever enjoy agreeing with you, but this is what happens when people graduate from Canada's medical universities, they go and become American doctors, because there's more positions paid in American dollars, though Canada pays higher for more clinic doctors to keep them on board. We had a couple doctor shortages when one or two moved countries. And announced a pay hike for any coming into replace.

Most of the ones I have asked actually would love to see the system go universal.

yeah, plus we're like the only modern nation that doesn't already have socialized healthcare... even iraq has it (because we pay for theirs LOL!)

OT: I prefer that my doctor loves his pay and gets to play golf as long as he does my surgeries well.

Lol, so you'd rather have a doctor who is so busy thinking about his golf swing that he forgets to close something in your body up than a doctor who really cares for people (and not just his pocket and his golf game) taking care of you? Wow.

you would be shocked how often that shit happens

You act like the doctor who is paid well is less inclined to do something than someone who is paid moderately.

CAPITALISM



MOTHERFUCKER

I don't have medical insurance, and haven't for years. Whenever I'm sick, the only thing I can do is visit a clinic, and most of the time I don't bother with that, since I can't afford it. I've needed some dental surgery for like five years or so, and I can't get it.

Years is definitely a lot shittier than months.

hey you should get insurance

[Sera]

Yeah Kohan, just go out and "get" it, kinda like Ansem's mom just went out and "got" chlamydia.

[Colenzo]

you dont just get the clam, you gotta get out there and earn it

I go to great doctors, not ghettos.
