Dr.Smasher posted:Isn't Aetna the company that told a 16 year old girl who needed a liver transplant to gently caress off, which got her bumped from like spot #1 on the donor list to the bottom, then got sued and protested outside their global HQ, then as she lay dying in a hospital bed said 'yeah I guess we'll cover it' and then she died before they could wheel her into surgery? Eat the rich and harvest their livers. They'll be happy to know their final donation is tax deductible.

we can't reform the health care system in the us because it would put insurance companies out of business! exactly why that's a bad thing has never been clear.

Outrail posted:Isn't this exactly the libertarian dream? History lesson: Marcus Licinius Crassus made a fortune by operating firefighters. quote:One of his most lucrative schemes took advantage of the fact that Rome had no fire department. Crassus filled this void by creating his own brigade—500 men strong—which rushed to burning buildings at the first cry of alarm. Upon arriving at the scene, however, the fire fighters did nothing while their employer bargained over the price of their services with the distressed property owner. If Crassus could not negotiate a satisfactory price, his men simply let the structure burn to the ground, after which he offered to purchase it for a fraction of its value.

PhilippAchtel posted:Perhaps if they instituted some way of collecting a mandatory fee to cover the cost of a firefighting service? If you show up at a hospital with like, your arm on fire, they will put out the fire and treat your burns whether you have insurance or not. You will be stuck with paying for it but the first priority is to preserve your life, not to collect payment. As hosed up as America's medical ecosphere is, it ain't quite as hosed up as watching somebody burn to death because they didn't pay 75 bucks. This is a slightly dumb analogy but you made it

Bob NewSCART posted:Unironically force all pedophiles and rapists to work in salt mines until they die You are aware how a modern justice system is supposed to give those people therapy and reintegrate them into society as working, non-criminal elements right? Because that "put them into the mines" is some proper dark ages poo poo usually advocated by the GOP/right wing conservatives, which ironically is the kiddy fiddler guild. Of course knowing the US prison industry that fire chief only did his time and never got help, so he will gently caress the next 4 year old in a fire instead of rescuing her/him.

DancingShade posted:And after you get the bill you'll probably wish you did die from the burning arm if the 62% of personal US bankruptcies being medical related is still a thing. Fun fact: a majority of the people bankrupted by medical bills had health insurance. Dr.Smasher posted:Isn't Aetna the company that told a 16 year old girl who needed a liver transplant to gently caress off, which got her bumped from like spot #1 on the donor list to the bottom, then got sued and protested outside their global HQ, then as she lay dying in a hospital bed said 'yeah I guess we'll cover it' and then she died before they could wheel her into surgery? That was Cigna: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/10/08/cigna-employee-flips-off_n_314189.html The thing you are thinking about Aetna is that they are now denying hospital visits if the customer was incorrect in their assumption (so if you go to the hospital for extreme stomach pain because you think it's appendicitis, you're on the hook for the $12,000+ bill in its entirety if you're wrong). They're only doing it in five states though (but plan to extend that to the rest of the country in the near future!). Interesting story about Cigna. They denied me a surgery I needed to help me breathe (no I'm not fat) and they denied it because they said "all known cures for this disorder are considered experimental". Being the complete nutcase that I am, I read their citation and actually went out and got the $400 textbook they cited (OK I bought it on ebay and then sold it back right away but still). They completely made up the citation. I got the book and it actually said the literal opposite of what they said it said. I brought this to their attention, but it was after my third appeal fell through, so they (intelligently) didn't respond to my finding. I asked them where I should report their medical citation fraud to. About a year later they completely changed their policy on my breathing disorder and cover it without issue now. Keep in mind that nothing changed; their policy was the same for decades and the same textbook they were still citing was from 2003. So though they hosed me, I like to think I probably helped saved someone else a lot of grief and aggravation (and tens of thousands of dollars).

if you think pedophilia should be punishable by death then work on changing the law to that end. posturing about how you hate pedophiles so much more than anyone else when everyone except the gop already hates pedophiles is unlikely to impress anyone.
