The Pussy Boss posted:You all have my sympathy. I'm on Medicaid and I would be so so so hosed without it, like I'd have tens of thousands of dollars in debt already, plus I get to live with the constant worry that I will fill out a form wrong, or make too much money this month, and get thrown off it. And I'm one of the lucky ones.  at least medicaid is sorta like universal healthcare, (if we stay poor and dont get thrown off it  )

i had a kidney stone that was too big to pass, and the doc made me pay at least a thousand bucks in advance to do a little procedure where they put me to sleep and pit something on my belly that sends shockwaves into the kidney to break up the stone. then later i still got a $6 grand bill from the hospital, but i showed them i had no money left and they wrote it off and i had union insurance

the hospitals have the right to randomly charge sick people thousands of dollars out of the blue

smarxist posted:as much as the bronze plans loving suck (they do) you should still get one for free/cheap if you can, and go to your doctors. if you have a condition that needs therapy or treatment or surgery, the insurance WILL at least get that done for you, you'll just owe an insane amount of money when its over, but at least you won't be dead..? maybe? yeah, get the insurance so the greedy fucks at the hospital will actually help you, instead of the bs 'stable' poo poo they do to homeless before kicking them out then get the bill cancelled for financial hardship. or let it go to collections and never pay those assholes either, or settle for a fraction of the bill this system is insane lol

Xaris posted:probably the one good thing they've done. it seems like a huge gently caress-you to unionized places where they've negotiated and striked for good healthcare also it would apply to politicians
