True. It also shouldn’t be rich care only, either. Your ability to seek and maintain health shouldn’t be disincentivized due to cost.

Darth Brooks posted:I will say that when I went through cancer treatment last year the insurance company covered untold thousands of dollars in treatment costs. My deductible was 3k which was cheap for what I went through. Further evidence in how broke brains are about the US healthcare system. How much do you think a Swede would have paid? Happy that you got off way way better financially than many of your countrymen, though.

Anyway we're about a month away from 10 years since he died shoveling snow. Yeah. I’m also just expecting hamburger time because I can’t get paid enough to afford any out of pocket costs. Powerful Two-Hander posted:I think that the outrageous US cost of health insurance is cross subsidising the rest of the world because my corporate health plan here in Europe just let's me get anything for £100 per illness. You want an unnecessary MRI? Go for it because the consultant doesn't give a poo poo about the costs and neither does the insurer. I’d say you’re welcome, but I think that’s just because America is the only place the government refuses to hold health insurance companies (for countries that use insurance) accountable for doing their stated mission, which is keeping costs down while making sure clients are able to receive necessary medical care. None of the US money would go to anything that would be positive for the health of other countries. You are still correct, though, as any shady US insurance poo poo probably gets shut down fast since your legislators have already seen what happens when the government makes no rules for health insurance. Point and laugh at the US. We

Punkreas posted:As a soon-to-be doc, you can always let your physician know of your situation, such as the cost (money or time) having you come in less. They'll put in a thing to keep you on the roster - most docs have limited enrollment slots so if nothing is said the office has measures in place to unassign patients who aren't seen in x years to make room for new patients. I wasn't all that enamored with my PCP in the first place and have considered finding a new one for a while so maybe it's time. And I haven't truly needed to see a doctor in a couple of years, so that's...good, right? I just resent the entire come on of the whole thing. "Hey, Boat, last time you were here we ordered a battery of tests, all done at different facilities at different times in various locations and with additional costs approaching $1000 that found nothing really wrong with you regarding your weight loss, but we haven't billed you in a while and we need the money so unless you come in for no reason and skip work to do it then gently caress you because we have bills to pay". It's like when my mechanic notices I haven't had to spend money on my car in a year and sends out a "hey, can you come spend some more money here?" email/text. Maybe my car is running OK for now and gently caress off with soliciting basic needs like transportation and healthcare? If I need either of you, you'll be the first to know believe me, so thank you.

I don’t even know how many patients I’ve seen die of American healthcare. Going to the ER one time is life-ruining for many, no matter how badly they need it

Assuming that's America, not only is that a felony to let your kid that close to a marine mammal, it's incredibly dumb to let a child get that close to a 500-2,000 pound animal of mostly muscle.

That is one amazingly well-behaved sea lion, it gets its point across just fine. I'm trying to figure out where that's filmed, some sort of Pacifica Island? Driving on the left but I don't recognize the license plates.

My local McDonald's Play Place has the Hamburglar painted on the window and I highly doubt any of the kids have ever heard of him. I can't even remember the last time I saw any of the McDonald's characters except Ronald in anything until the Grimace's birthday thing this past summer.

All the Hamburglar had to do to disappear and run free was take off his mask, nobody had ever seen his true face. And that's what he did.

PurpleXVI posted:Actually I've had nightmares about driving cars since I was ten years old. So I figured, "hey, one way to beat this will be to get my driver's license, and then I'll see it's no big deal, and it'll get better." But no, it turned out the terror just passed into the real world and I'm terrified of driving cars there, too. And the nightmares continue. OP used the word "just" to mean "simply". Leon is joking that they meant "recently". mobby_6kl posted:Outsourcing always bites you in the rear end Ha, amateur! If there's one thing I've learned from the shitton of Hitman I've been playing recently it's that you always get caught trying to move the body, and it works out much better to just leave them where they lay. Then you only get "oh my god, a dead body!" rather than "oh my god, that man is dragging a dead body!"

I've also seen people spread rumors that they retired the characters because they'd secretly been having to pay royalties to Sid and Marty Kroft the whole time, but I haven't seen any solid evidence for that.
