I have read that Mike Matarazzo and the other kid who suffered lukemia(Name escapes me) both went without health insurance and both incurred half a million+ in medical bills. Pray for THOSE guys....

Ah yes, the good old NHS. One of the few reasons why living in the UK is better than the US.

Once again, NO.

Look at tax rates. Things look different when you do.

Maybe he does, but his basic insurance isn't going to cover the best surgeon in the country, so he pays because he wants the best. I would too if I were him.

If that is true, then I don't blame him.

Even if you are insured, you may not have free choice.

YESSIR

Yeah...but if this chick were your surgeon, chances are she skipped school to get her nails done, and would have missed the class on suturing, and you'd bleed to death.

Choose:

Yale
Harvard
John's Hopkins

And you will awaken from anesthesia

the money bodybuilders make is comical when compared to legit professional athletes.

the lowest paid baseball player is compensated more than the best bodybuilder in the world.

nuff said.


Average MLB player=3.2 million

You know, as an independent contractor, it is up to you to get health insurance. It isnt that hard. But you need to think of yourself as a business, and cover yourself.  Bob Chick gave a lot of the competitors a plan to get health insurance, and more.  It is up to them to actually do it.

John's Hopkins



Hahahaha, what are John's Hopkins?

You'd think someone would have learned to spell in the 50 odd years they've had.

Crazy isn't it? Imagine a real athlete getting hurt? The team/league pays for their surgeries. THIS ON TOP OF A SALARY.  :o

Believe me...there are examples of big time teams trying to frost players with costly injuries and bilk them out of benefits. It happens.

Studies have shown that those with positive approaches do better than those with negative ones.

Just thought prayer would constitute positive goodwill. Can't hurt :)

Peace,

Your tax rate to pay for your "free" health care is in the 70% range.

If he had one knee done...assuming he was in the hospital for one day (Rarely do you stay longer)...figure about $10,000, without physical therapy. PT can run it up to another 10K.

Meds...even more. If he had two knees done...double it.

Its illegal to discriminate against giving one health coverage due to pre-existing maladies.

the 45 million you hear of without health care includes illegals and MANY younger people who are given the choice of higer pay or health coverage...many take more pay, as they feel they are behind the 'veil of youthful invincibility' and won't need insurance.

The number 1 rule of investingh is PROTECTION.

Have insurance to protect your investments.

Apparently, Martinez skipped this day of school....dumbass

I'm absolutely pro free market and despise pretty well all forms of socialism, but it is an objective fact that Canada's health care system is better than the American system, even if you factor in our absurd rates of taxation.  The Zionist scum who run the US health care system WANT you to lose your house, they WANT you to go bankrupt, and don't care one way or the other about your health.  They just want your money like the human parasites they are.  But the US system, although free market oriented, is far worse than the Canadian system.  I guess not every economic model works out exactly as it does in theory.

Had the exact same surgery done bout 8 years ago and at the time did not have insurance. The Dr charged me $1500. Now the hospital fee was another story.

Hey Matt.

Yeah, our system has problems, but one of the best facets is no-wait policy, especially for emergency services and CT/MRI scans.

I have practiced successfully for 15 years, and have never turned one patient down for care.

Not everyone practices my style, but goodness can be had here.

Same as Martinez?

Wow, that sounds cheap...how was your outcome?

You are looking at:

Anesthesia fee
Doc fee
Hospital fee
Miscellaneous
