Don't lose your insurance for more than 6 months, don't live in a red state, make more money, and don't have any major medical issues until you are 65 and you'll be fine (and probably come out ahead financially) under the AHCA.

I'm assuming that, since they're coming up with a new bill from scratch, there are going to be major differences from the version passed by the House. they have to thread the needle of pleasing their versions of the freedom caucus and the moderates. collins, murkowski, and portman in particular are concerned about the losses in coverage. the first two are also concerned about taking away funding from planned parenthood. basically there's probably going to be a conservative "yes we love death ahahahaha" bill and a moderate "less people die (but people still die)" bill and their gonna butt heads. in the house the HFC got to something they liked and bullied the Tuesday Group with the fig leaf of the upton amendment which doesn't really do anything. issue is that senators have much longer viewpoints and have to represent whole states rather then hyperpartisian districts. otoh you've got repeal and replace as the promise to their base and no one wants to be singularly blamed for letting that fail.

On the one hand, Senate Republicans are by and large much smarter politicians than their House counterparts and the more vulnerable among them won't vote for something that may cost them re-election. On the other hand, Senate Republicans would happily order every one of you killed if it gets them a tax cut.

SourKraut posted:Engineering. This. Good engineers are almost always in demand, and going into a large field more or less guarantees good employment opportunities at large stable companies (that also offer good health care). It's not a panacea, but if you're considering a major right now, think about going into the field.

The current level of private venture capital flowing into really terrible ideas is an unsustainable bubble, just like healthcare costs and college tuition increasing by double digit percentages annually when real inflation is 2%. Things like that juice bag squeezer should not be able to raise 9 figures of investment in a non-bubble market.

My friends mother is in her 50's and is on disability/medicaid and apparently has a private plan as well to supplement medicaid. She's had some constant fairly serious medical problems but I don't know exactly what. What kind of outcome would be expected if the current bill passes in roughly the same form it's written. We're in Texas so any state options will probably be gently caress you.

We're in Texas so any state options will probably be gently caress you. Realistically, it depends on how quickly and precipitously state legislatures move to cut Medicaid and exactly where those cuts fall. The biggest change with this bill is not the preexisting conditions changes, it's that this bill will allow states to cut medicaid services, in a way that current federal law prohibits. So, once and if it passes, states will have the power to start cutting essential medicaid services, like nursing home care, organ transplants, etc, and there would be nothing anyone could do to stop them. REalistically though 65% of nursing home care in this country is paid for by Medicaid so that's a huge pot of money that will eventually be cut once states have the power to cut it. My guess: presuming the bill passes, she'll be fine until she needs something unusually expensive, like a special wheelchair or complex surgery or long-term nursing home care. That will then be denied for pretextual reasons and she will begin a precipitous decline after that point. Hieronymous Alloy fucked around with this message at 03:54 on May 7, 2017 |

Eh, that article's failing is that he (almost) completely avoids pointing any consternation at where a huge part of the problem lies: for-profit insurance companies operating in the medical space, while then casually throwing out an anecdote about how doctors are considerably more interested when someone pays in cash versus using insurance. My wife is a nurse practitioner who worked in private practice for several years seeing patients and then now works for a specialized clinic at a large hospital, and there was no "Oh they paid in CASH, let's make sure we see them!" as the author tries to insinuate. I'm sure it happens, but I can also say that far and away the largest part of the problem are the insurance companies themselves.

Removing for profit insurance is only part of decreasing costs. You will have to lower doctor and healthcare salaries for universal health insurance to ultimately work.
