Profits over health care is hurting everyone. Someone had to make a point, sorry CEOs. Things are going to catch you guys.

Hospital Administration is taking a big chunk of this cut

Rejection for coverage based on medically-founded reason is okay, but based on profit is a crime.

This advice does not make the system right.
- "Avoid going to hospital" - why not let the doctors decide it?
- "Ask for itemized bill" - why are non-itemized bills even legal?
- "Question the bill" - this is not how civilized service works. You do not negotiate price in grocery stores

Dr Bill summed it up concise and vividly 👍

Walgreens was my go to for years. Not in a decade however. Poor service. Items mispriced. No wonder they have failed.

Health insurance in this country is too much and if you see the bill cover by insurance is too pricy

[mr.freightliner]

Depends. Crazy when the cost is high but the billion people that have come here illegally don’t complain at all. They are happy. They get it free. U.S. Americans have paid dues for healthcare. I mean you get raises but your jobs healthcare plan they offer takes $450 or more out of your paycheck to pay for healthcare. Veterans have paid their dues and what do they get? Nasty Veterans hospital, full of civilians that don’t give a dang about the veterans, treat the elderly like crap, the veterans that get jobs there sometimes be the worst because they are disgruntled that they actually have to work and can’t flirt with other coworkers all day. Oh I forgot take a look at ECC at Hines…..roaches and silver fish galore. Yet you have “solo habla espanol” get to go to the best hospitals and now have the attitude that they are “entitled” and should get all the great things and benefits Americans get. Nothing wrong with foreign people coming here. You come the right way though. Apply, pay up, and wait until you get approved for your visa and citizenship like all of my friends and family that have come here.

Its with any insurance, they are for profit and thats the problem.

Ummm the Affordable Care act (Obama care) fixed this right....??

Since everyone is so angry, maybe those people should form an insurance company to pay for all the medical issues they care about. Oh wait, you don't want to pay for other people medical bills?
