Yeah, i guess for a snake bite that's a bit of a stretch. Theres a plethora of other instances where that would hold true though, major surgeries included

Yeah that's a pretty weak story, they don't include shit for info... dude needs to check his heartbeat and stop bitching..

Much respect for all involved, that saved his life on the fly..

Insurance companies are more than likely o blame for these absurd medical expenses.... I hate the health care in this country... You can literally fly to france get the health care, live there for two years, and fly back for less than what this dude paid.





insurance companies have been jacking up their prices but the doctors and
hospitals have as well, all of this was due to obamacare, the insurance
companies have done it because the bill eliminated a lot of competition
and because they now are forced to cover preexisting conditions so now
instead of someone with diabetes paying a higher premium we all pay a
higher premium that almost matched what they were paying preior to the
bill's passage


my $32k bill was without insurance, I had it only 8 months earlier but
had to drop it because I could no longer afford the premiums since they
more than doubled, under obamacare marketplace they were triple and only
covered me where my prior insurance covered myself and the kids

Im sure ive posted this before but ive literally had doctors tell me the reason why care is so ridiculously expensive is because  "we know they will pay that much"




What sucks is people without insurance pay a lot and insurance companies pay a little for the same service. My sinus surgery would have cost me $30,000 without insurance, but the insurance company payed less than $12,000.

This all sounds so dumb. How did we get to this point?? How did obamacare get upheld?

Hate to burst your bubble guys, but insurance companies have been charging this much to uninsured people for decades. I've known lots of people before Obamacare who had medical stuff done while uninsured. Their bills always looked like this.

Well in the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Jim, albeit a big dude, gets bitten by a rattlesnake and lives by eating the snake and resting for a day and a half. I would try that first and probably die before going to a hospital.

This is an easy situation to deal with. Just sue the rattlesnake.

I was just saying fuck obamacare in general. Not necessarily towards this bill.
It's worse than what we had before. Far worse.

Unlike gun control which effects me because guns get smuggled into Canada I don't care at all about other nations health care systems.
Since having a stroke I can't find anyone who will sell me health insurance for trips to USA/Mexico so I just go anyway and hope I don't get sick. I don't pose for selfies with snakes or gators though.

imagine that. get taken to hospital almost dying of a snake bite. wake up 5 days later with a $150,000 hospital bill. now that is some bullshit.


i think i'm going to get into the hospital game in america though. 150k for 4-5 days seems like a pretty solid margin to myself

from what you're saying though this obamacare system sounds pretty ass backwards.

i.e. the uninsured, usually low income families who can't afford insurance, get charged more...? That does not make sense to myself at all

i'm gonna take a long shot here and say that Obama wanted to get ahead of some sort of "curve" and said that this plan would be difficult to settle into but that it'd pay off in the long run.

someone, explain this to a Canadian.

It can't be explained. No one read it when they voted for it, and no one has read it since.
