uh huh, they suck donkey balls

I LOVED UHC, fuck I missed them, take me back smurf

How would all of you feel about a healthcare system that works this way:

Everybody is required to pay 9% of their salary and that gives them full coverage with no deductibles, copays, limits, etc. Everyone would be covered 100% on everything ranging from a simple sliced finger at the ER all the way to cancer treatment and transplant, covers any and all medical supplies and medication.

Would you be onboard?

only a fuktard immigrant would think this was worht discussin fuck i hate you nan

If you're wondering WTF did I come up with 9% it's because it's the percentage charged in Costa Rica, in fact it's the system used in Costa Rica, the only draw back is that there is no real control over who is registered or not because it's a damn third world country full of 50% morons and 50% corrupt assholes. It works fairly well for ER visits and major issues, works horrible for things such as dental and regular check ups.

I'd be fine with it, but the premiums here for a plan like you just described would run $5,000+ per person per month.

The way you'd have to make that work is to severely limit options for treatment and control demand with queues. In other words, we'd adopt the Canadian system.

 

[nangiggles]

Yup, Canadian system is an improved version of CR, it's what it should be, but yeah waiting queues for things like specialists and non emergency referrals are a pain in the ass.

The french health care model is where it's at!

 

[mrplunkey]

Specialist shortages and queues are one huge issue. But the other problem is technology lag. The best diagnostic imaging equipment in the US is just as good as the best equipment in Canada. But at any time, the US may be 50% converted to the best stuff while Canada remains only 2% converted.

It's easy to think that a little time lag is no big deal, but my mother's mother died early of a coronary artery blockage that could have been addressed by a stent that become mainstream about two years after her death.

And the other problem with lag is how it impacts drugs and devices all over the world. We would make DI equipment at huge costs (billions of dollar projects) knowing that we'd get a big pop in the US because many people would upgrade early. Then we'd begin selling it into the rest of the world knowing that sales would dribble in as opposed to a big influx. Without that initial pop, the entire pipeline will be shifted backward years.

I'm on the WIC. It sucks waxing my body and putting on makeup just for milk n' cheese.

Or they'd just steal it anyway. So it doesn't really matter either way.
