bladefever Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 A friend in New Jersey just had a hernia operation. He's into around $20,000.00 out of pocket. I was thinking of marketing a DIY home hernia kit to sell at Wal-Mart in the United States. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see no way he's out 20k with any type of insurance so assuming without it as long as this is his only real issue for the year prob no worse off than with insurance.

bladefever Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 So all the reported stories about people needing to mortgage their house in the US to pay medical expenses are fake news? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snopro31 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 If Canada turned to a Private/Public system it would be amazing. Saskatchewan has a program where the general public can pay for an MRI and in turn the business does an MRI on the public system free of cost. They have almost no MRI wait where these business's are in major centers. Right now the wait lists for hips, knees, cardiovascular is growing exponentially. The medical system has not actually grown for the increase in population and age of population. We've hit a time where shits gonna blow up very soon and the current system will implode. The system just can't keep up right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All , no. But almost all. Liz warren did her little report showing hospital bills were the biggest reason for bankruptcies. She conviniantly left out the fact that 78% of people who claimed their hospital bills were the reason for bankruptcies had less then $1500 in medical bills.

Not to mention their employer paying 18 grand per year that could have gone to profits or pay raises. Most people don’t get sick until they are older. So they have 25 years at 24 grand per year. That’s 600 grand of your money they have had before they start paying out. Merca. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
