Yet they spend less money than we do on healthcare per capita and their systems are rated far higher than ours and they are happier with their healthcare than we are.
You just have not gotten sick enough yet. Its coming. Its coming for all of us.
Sure I haven't I've had some very extensive surgery. Very very extensive. So I'd be willing to bet more than most.
I have a friend who had heart surgery and ended up in the ICU for a month. His bills exceeded $2 million, How much were your surgeries? Would you just write a check if that happened to you?
Of course you would save money if we were all paid Medicare rates.Here is an article you probably would not be too fond of
Limiting Private Insurance Reimbursement to Medicare Rates Would Reduce Health Spending by About $350 Billion in 2021 - Issue Brief - 9656 | KFF
Introduction The United States spends nearly twice as much as much per person on health care as comparable countries, and much of this is driven by higher prices paid by private health insurers. The high and rising cost of private health care has led to premiums and deductibles for...www.kff.org
Or like they take our money by force they will take your service by force.
If you read into the article, it says that people on medicare have an easier time finding doctors than people on private insurance. I assume that is because the network is bigger.
Not entirely true depending upon the care needed. I had dislocated jaw that Medicare first said wasn't covered since they interpreted it to be "dental" then after I paid thru my cheeks to get it resolved, it was then determined it was covered. But at a doctor that was 92 miles away. The "helpless" desk for medicare is staffed third party staffed that frankly is clueless. They cost me a ton of money. Recently I had shoulder surgery and the ice therapy machine should have been covered but was denied. I was able to find the specific code that proved it was covered and I finally got reimbursed 8 months after surgery. No explanation of the refund check just shows up exactly what it cost. My experience with medicare after 2 shoulder surgeries is become fluent in coding which isn't hard to do and double check all the codes and approvals. Even had "fight" with ortho clinic on correct coding and won that as well. You just cannot believe the level of incompetence out there on total medical billing management until you audit the work provided. Don't back down if you believe you have correct coding and ratchet it up the food chain to get resolution.
