If free healthcare is “socialist,” then meet me in the middle and commit to fixing healthcare costs. Commit to holding insurance companies accountable. Why do insurance companies make the final determination of what’s “medically necessary?” They’re not doctors. Make insurance companies do their jobs and pay for service. Lower drug costs by criminalizing price gouging. There are other ways to lower the cost of care than to just make it free but it seems any solution other than doing nothing is “socialist,” and rejected immediately. Actually look at the issue instead of the party it’s attached to before you make your judgment.

You must ask yourself would you rather pay hundreds a month for private health insurance aka a private *tax* (I know scary socialist word) only to be partially covered? OR would you rather pay significantly less money through your federal taxes and be fully covered? Do away with private health insurance. They're an unnecessary middleman who's only purpose is to squeeze as much money from the patient while giving the least amount of care possible. That's the profit motive. As americans let's join the rest of the civilized world that has some type of universal coverage. America can do better than overpriced private taxes.

Nope, they sent me the same bill with no indication of what I was paying for. I said no, nothing you did costs $900. It went to collections, but it never went on my credit score.

Then got rush back to the hospital after being discharged then stayed for an extra week at the hospital for pancreatitis the bill was $17,000. I had to pay close to $2,000 ou of pocket since my insurance did not cover some things. Iam 34 years old. The doctor could not tell how did I contract the bacteria they think i got it from being at the dentist. I hope you are doing better. As for myself iam ok but still some pain where they open my chest. It was a horrible experience. That was the first time in my life I have been hospitalized or being that sick.

There’s documentaries about Canadian or British doctors being content with a couple or few hundred $K a year while American doctors want millions. Think of how big of fools we are donating to the likes of the Cleveland Clinic, Susan B. Komen ($60 million a year!) walk for this, raise awareness for that, coin jars for sick people at every retail location etc. I’m just suggesting that maybe if hospitals and doctors charged less the insurance companies wouldn’t fight payments so much. Yes the insurance companies are crooked but so are the doctors, hospitals and pharmaceutical companies. They’re all complicit in the problem.

My credit score 790 dumb dumb every States different you should know that

That’s crazy, poor guy.

I live here in Germany I had an umbilical hernia that needed surgery, a week before the operation I was no longer able to work, after the operation I had severe pain and I was on sick leave for three more weeks. for the time i was sick i got continued wages (sick money) reduced by 15% which had no effect on my vacation days, and all i had to pay was € 20 for 2 days in the hospital. so thumbs up for german health insurance

If I'm hurt either let me die or take me home I have duct tape

That is why we need medicare for all. Get rid of the middle man (the ins companies)

This is crazy !!

Healthcare costs are so expensive because the US has the highest paid medical professionals worldly. Neurosurgeons make upwards of 600 to 900K/year. Imagine the bill for getting a brain tumor out. We pay for their salaries.

I want to donate money to him 😥 breaks my heart

Republican strategy.. keep them poor, keep medicine high, and prescribe all the time.

That’s crazy.

I wouldn't have bothered paying it.

Like how CBS avoids the elephant in the room. #Medicare4All

I hope you know that it’s still coming out of your pocket when taxes skyrocket, and that’s covering everyone else’s medical bills and not just your own. Then you’ll think it’s unfair having to pay for other people... 🤦🏻‍♂️

ErkFX - Roblox & More! You end up paying less since you don’t have a million different insurance agencies charging different prices. Medicare has the best rates negotiate and you still would have every doctor to chose from since everyone is on one plan. I work in a insurance company as a claims adjuster it’s really one big Ponzi scheme.

Got charged a thousand just for a bunch of nurses to gawk at my ankle and put it in a soft cast.

My colon ruptured. I had emergency surgery. 17 days in hospital. I had no insurance. No money. $300,000 I just didn't pay. I don't have anything they can take away from me except bills. So I came out on top. Thanks America.

He sure does not deserve this mess. This country’s system is greedy and wrong. Bernie will help.

Richard L. T. Canada and Australia aren’t bankrupt and they offer similar programs. Plus we spend more on our military than all of bernie’s programs combined.

He should have come to India. It would have cost him 2500 USD( travel+visa+medical bill).

Throw the bills in the garbage. If we all collectively did, this would stop

If you have massive bills like this, call them 10 times a day, every single day. Keep calling, leave extremely dramatic voicemails, and fight, fight, fight. Eventually, they may get tired of paying employees to hear from you 50+ times a week. You cant bleed a stone.

Reality Swapper this what I did when hospital did wrong coding, got denial and switch my account to self paid. I called them every morning and finally business office worked out my bills.

This is criminal behavior. And this could be anyone. This is why we need nationalized healthcare.

Poor man 🤭😭 I hope it works out for him 🙏🏻

Health costs in USA are a joke!

One chant: “Bernie! Bernie! Bernie!”

US is the most developed third world country🧐

Thank you founding fathers

And I would have sent that bill right back with a laughing emoji, and said try it again.

@S SN QN ironically poor people qualify for cheap or sometimes free healthcare while middle class have to pay for their own.

This is why we need to elect Bernie for Medicare For All.

When prices aren't transparent, hospitals can charge as high as they want. Imagine going grocery shopping and not knowing the prices until you get to the checkout counter?

I feel for this family. Bc this is now, no one knows how things will be when hes older of if he'll need more procedures or special care as life progresses.

Yep 'make America great again' 😂

Couple million spent on my grandparents dementia. Luckily we have good healthcare. Not everyone does tho so #bernie2020

If it weren't for the government, the medical industry would be so much less expensive.

My problem is all my bills came as “this is not a bill” so I threw them out..... 6 years later surprise court date being I’m being sued.
