Its not even the Democrats fault, its those damn foreigners putting ideas in their head about the free health care Shangri La they live in, as if America ever could be made as cost effective as Canada, the UK or Portugal.

nooneman said: 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.
6 years ago to get a broken arm set and casted the cost was around $3000, my daughter broke her wrist, it wasnt a compound fracture so there wasnt any surgery or any of that shit to deal with and even if there was it still would have been around $16,000. in fact "decades ago", a person would go to a hospital with a broken arm and an orthopedic would be called in to set and cast the arm in a single visit, now it's a trip to the ER, an appointment with an orthopedic and then a few follow up with the orthopedic before they remove the cast
now tell me, how does all this sit with your false claim that it's always cost $32,000 to have a broken arm set and casted, I can tell you without a doubt that the cost of all this shit has gone through the roof due to obamacare
http://health.costhelper.com/broken-arm.html
here's that rattle snake bite a few years ago at $89,000 http://time.com/2897/north-carolina-hospital-bill-snake-bite/
here's the treatment on a coperhead bite a few years before that at $55,000 http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/woman-snake-bite-treatment-costs-55-000-article-1.1424383
tell us again how it's always cost $150k to treat snake bites
Well, that's wrong, isn't it? You guys are getting robbed.

Quote:
I'm not speaking for others, but I was pretty glad when I heard about Obamacare. Because I thought you guys would be getting the same deal we have. We have all heard the horror stories of families being destroyed by insane medical bills, so excuse me for wishing an end to that.
you didnt read the bill though did you, I did. I knew we were getting fucked because it wasnt universal healthcare, I'd said it thousands of times that it was a tax scheme to tax insurance and fine the uninsured, I told people it was going to cause more people to become uninsured so now instead of 45 million uninsured in america we have 70 million that are uninsured and everyone is being taxed or fined because we cant afford insurance now that obamacare is in place
these are the people you encouraged the US public to trust when you made the same assumptions based on what they had told you, that it would be universal healthcare but for some crazy reason, foriegners dont read the bills being introduced in congress, they dont look into our politicians, they simply weigh in on our political system as if they have a fucking clue. most dont even know what's going on in their own country

what? I guess you are far more clueless than even you believe, the bill passed without a single republican vote, republicans voted against it, how exactly could the republicans fuck it up when they werent even involved in the creation of the bill that went from 600 pages to more than 3000 pages while sitting in committee in the democrat controlled senate before going to the democrat controlled house and then to the democrat controlled executive office
please tell us, what did the republicans do to fuck shit up

You're LESS fucked if you anticipate proactively.
Work towards getting out of debt and having a bit of a wealth reserve, of which a portion in cash in your home in case the system breaks down and you can't withdraw money for a few weeks.
Have at least a months worth of food, drink & whatever it takes to run a household, including camping stove to cook on and toilet paper.
If you use banks at all, only for payments, NEVER for savings, instead invest your savings. If you use them at al, be EXTREMELY strategic with credit cards and try to avoid debt creation in any way.
Particularly in the US, obtain a weapon you can carry concealed and become proficient in its use.
In a friendly non alarmist non nutty way guide your family and friends to do the same so that you build a network, a network you can rely on if you need something and who can rely on you if they need something.
Stuff like that. Stuff that doesnt hurt if you do it, but rather than breed fear, creates security and some independence.

i don't mind obama care, it has allowed my x who was in need of a surgery but would not be approved for insurance due to pre existing conditions to be covered and get the surgery he needed.
yes his premiums are 800$+ a month but that beats the 5 years waiting he did in discomfort previously.
the issue with health care in america is it is for profit, it should be for care and wellness not to turn people into dollars.

There is no free health care. Even if you make doctors and nurses slaves you still have to feed them and house them and clothe them. Maybe not the hot nurses.
Bureaucracy has made our health system expensive. In Europe those costs are hidden in government agencies. If we just paid directly it would be cheaper. Every doctors office has at least one person dedicated to filing paperwork but at least we don't have to wait several months for surgery.

the only lobby groups that 'own' american politics are the ones you oppose hence the reason the anti-GMO crowd claims Monsanto owns the politicians and the anti gun bunch says that the NRA owns them and the liberals say it's the Koch brothers but not a single one of those groups see that the lobby groups they support dump just as much if not more than the lobby groups they oppose
Warren Buffett and George Soros are the same as the Koch Brothers, Green Peace
and the Anti GMO Project are the same as Monsanto and Sygenta, for some reason, the lefties dont want to see that their lobbiests and doners are just as wealthy and dump just as much into the campaigns and since they all seem to dump money into both sides with no guarantee of anything, it seems like a piss poor excuse to claim they're bought and paid for.
it's conspiracy drivel

If demand for residential solar continued to soar, traditional utilities could soon face serious problems, from “declining retail sales” and a “loss of customers” to “potential obsolescence,” according to a presentation prepared for the group. “Industry must prepare an action plan to address the challenges,” it said.
The warning, delivered to a private meeting of the utility industry’s main trade association, became a call to arms for electricity providers in nearly every corner of the nation. Three years later, the industry and its fossil-fuel supporters are waging a determined campaign to stop a home-solar insurgency that is rattling the boardrooms of the country’s government-regulated electric monopolies.
Politicians in bed with the fossil fuel industry make it very hard for green energy to get a foothold in the market. This is what happens when government picks favorites,

A problem with solar energy is that if the SHTF then your whole neighborhood can see that you got something they want.. solar panels.
Solar panels may make a target of your home if you one of the very few.

and because of his $800/mo coverage I am also forced to pay more to aid in covering him, my insurance for me and 2 kids went from $327/mo through my employer to more than $600 a month through my employer, something that has already risen to $750/mo to cover myself and 2 kids under the health care market place the premiums were over $900/month, I couldnt afford any of the incrases so I now have no insurance and apparently I dont qualify for any of the subsidies unless I decide to lose my home. they dont give a fuck that I have 2 kids and 2 disabled adults living with me that I have to provide the support for so now I and my 2 kids are uninsured, part of the 20 million newly uninsured that had coverage before obamacare.

do you think that all these foreign systems arent also for profit? are you aware that there are charity care providers in the US, they range from county health departments to full fledged hospitals, lucky for us, Obama care and the policies of the obama administration to turn a blind eye to the influx of illegals is helping to put them out of business
