It still doesn't change the fact that health care is not a right. Going bankrupt is entirely possible if you have shitty luck. This is why having insurance is so important - which is why I wasn't mad at obamacare. It's forcing risk mitigation on people too stupid to understand the statistics without making health care a federally mandated right.
>>71906166
She bim boo nuffin.
>>71906700
So instead they are forced to pay a premium and deductible that increases dramatically each year. Claim BK and in 7 years it is like it never happened. The whole system is fucked up but BK isn't bad. Fuck I've gone pre se twice in my life time ,Chapter 7, and I'm doing just fine. BK isn't bad.
>>71906700
>without making health care a federally mandated right
What?
While its not a Right, its federally mandated and that's worse.
>>71905951
Those fucking teeth
>>71906700
78% of people who file medical bankruptcy have some form of health insurance. Too bad amiright?
>>71906973
And on top of that, most poor will have to claim BK. Obama care doesn't cover 100% so even if you have the O care you can still walk out owing tens of thousands if you survive the indian doctor and hijab wearing phlebotomist.

A question for United Statesmen
Say I live in the US and I've got decent private health cover, not super expensive but not the cheapest one, from a reputable company.
I have an accident, say I fell down the stairs or something, and broke my leg. What type of costs would I be looking at?
>>71907559
Cool. You will just pay Bernie the $400 dollars and then get your meds for free. Good job.
>>71907687
Don't be stupid, you pay Bernie $600 and get your meds for free.
>>719070
the short answer is that health care administrators across the country were getting fucked. For its faults, it now puts responsibility in patients to do their part. I hate that it had to be federal but in the grand scheme of things, I won't lose sleep over it. People need to stop being morons and take responsibility for their risk profile. Either that or we ditch Hippocratic oath and acknoledge that some people won't be able to afford medical services and allow medical services to kick the sick to the streets. I actually like that plan too - it's the most efficient.
>>71906079

>>71907609

I can tell, because that's where my country is headed too.
Yeah, I'm really happy paying 45% of my wages to go for the free health care and the useless asocial degenerates.
Fuck off you cuck.
>>71908075
Any idea how much it would cost if you had to have day surgery or maybe an overnight stay in a hospital?
I'm just curious because so much is made about how stupidly expensive health care in the US is but there's rarely much info from people who have actually gone through it.
>>71908135
You're a third world shithole too. You can tell because of all the third worlders shitting up the place.
then you're better off now knowing how many go bankrupt because of taxes.
>>71907609
No one knows. The doctors just bill the insurance companies whatever they want, and then the insurance companies pay because they're all a bunch of kikes. And why would you go to the hospital for a broken leg in the first place? Just set that shit yourself and avoid dealing with the faggots.
>>71908187
It depends on your policy, similar to shopping for home insurance. You are paying for the types of coverage you want. My wife spent a week the hospital after our daughter was born. I spent about $600 for that and she had a private room. My mom went to ICU for a few days at a time she was between jobs (no health insurance)and the bill was $10k. What most people outside the USA don't understand is that you can bargain with the hospital to get the bill lowered as the hospitals will take what they can get when they know the patient is uninsured.
>>71906700
Some insurance providers are already pulling out of Obamacare because it's losing them hundreds of millions of dollars, and the ones still in are having to jack premiums through the roof to compensate.
Turns out the people who predominantly didn't have healthcare were a bunch of sick poorfags who take from the system approximately a bazillion times more than they contribute to it, and when tens of millions of those people are all injected into the system by government mandate the entire thing goes to shit.
>>71908628
So, stupid question, is it still better to be insured than uninsured even if you're able to negotiate the fee with the hospital?
It seems that markets are more inefficient in this case.
>>71908479
>And why would you go to the hospital for a broken leg in the first place? Just set that shit yourself and avoid dealing with the faggots.
I already pulled my wisdom tooth out with a pair of pliers and I'm not making that same mistake again.
>>71908827
In the US, there is no national negotiation of drug prices (insurers are weak due to numbers, while medicare really isn't efficient or large enough in comparison), brand name drugs can be advertised, we have the highest paid doctors, and we have easier access to more expensive shit like MRI. Americans also take more drugs on average vs. single payer systems like Canada: (Canada averages 1.8 drugs per capita, US is 2.2).
>>71908688
Actually many of the poorfags use pre-existing services like Medicare and free health clinics (which are literally in every poorfag location). It's the sick wage fags switching providers that fuck companies. Too bad, they should have built that into their actuary tables before jumping into the plan.
>>71907559
>Tfw you forgot to change ID
>>71907609
$2000-7000 depending on the quality, place, reputation. Even with insurance it can still be expensive unless you have an expensive plan. You're also going to get some insanely priced prescriptions too.
>>71908819
It's always better to be insured, especially regarding health care. I can't tell you how fucked I would have been on that MRI.
>>71907479
The medicalcare and insurance markets are anything but free market and that is the issue.
Letting government take over these feilds that it destroyed is like thanking someone for handing you a crutch after they break your leg.

>>71909079
Looks like he just decided to answer his own question.
>>71908075
Which provider and plan? Monthly premiums? HSA? Family and Individual deductible?
The reason why people go bankrupt from healthcare costs in the United States is because our insurance companies don't negotiate. Medicare, Medicaid, private insurers will all pay whatever price demanded by medical companies, no questions asked. What happens is that medical companies and doctors make way more money than they have any right to make (80/hr for a surgeon, fucking really?) and the idea that medication is expensive becomes normalized so now individuals have to pay ridiculous prices if they don't have health insurance. And if an individual tries to negotiate to bring medical costs down to a reasonable price, it simply doesn't work because medical companies will write a story about how they can't lower the costs of service.

>It still doesn't change the fact that health care is not a right.
The word care implies ownership or guardianship. Noone has a "right" to that. "Medical services" is the non-slave term.

>>71910208
The right to die waiting for a bed to open in a Canadian hospital is much more humane. You're right.
>>71910284
No, you don't. If you've done a chapter 7 you won't still own those cars as they can't be exempt. If you owned out right why would you even C7?
>>71910380
You can keep your primary residence in Chapter 7.
Instead people just die in waiting lists in those countries
>>71905848
Anytime you actually ask Americans "do you support Medicare for all" almost 60% of them say yes. It's just the medical industry spends a lot of money lobbying and astroturfing and paying shills on websites like this one to pretend our system is not a complete morally indefensible nightmare.
>>71910478
You can keep your primary vehicles and your primary residence under chapter 7. Chapter 7 doesn't mean they take everything any you walk away with nothing.

>It still doesn't change the fact that health care is not a right.
Do you not understand how the concept of "rights" works, you fucking retard? It is something people collectively decide on based on their ethical beliefs.
A society could decide that food, housing, healthcare, electricity and internet are all human rights that every citizen should have (and many countries come close to this already) It cannot be a "fact" that something is or isn't a right in an absolute, universal sense, you worthless piece of garbage.

>>71910830
Surgeons used to be people you picked from the streets, gave a bit of on-the-job training to, and let them operate from there. There weren't any problems besides sanitation problems because nobody knew about those back then. Then some supermeme came out of nowhere and now to become a surgeon you need several years of expensive schooling and once you become a surgeon you somehow make $80/hr for a job people did for far less (adjusted for inflation) back then.

>>71911001
>How can a person even go bankrupt?
Too much debt; not enough income to pay that debt. The individual petitions in court to have the debt erased (after paying creditors what he or she is capable of paying). Credit is fucked for 7 years.

It's a right. No one can turn you away from purchasing healthcare.
Same as guns are a right. No one can turn me away from purchasing a gun. Any law that says different is an illegal law.
Neither rights are paid for by tax dollars. Though that seems to be what you are implying. Rights have nothing to do with covering costs. Gun rights advocates do not ask for free guns. Get it?

hahahaha what?
so absolutely no context on how they ended up on their respective situations? business decisions? schooling and education? criminal records? you know that results isnt the only thing you look at when discussins a subject, right? thats kindergarten level of arguing
as i said, there is no moral highground for taxes, and especially not forcing doctors to give you free healthcare
>>71911413
>Sorry if I dont get how American healthcare works
Well right now it's pretty stupid. Basically, if you work and couldn't afford healthcare before, not you still can't afford it and are getting fined for not being able to afford it. Thanks Obama.

>>71911406
Well, considering the whole point of this thread is to trash american politics and view of healthcare, weather its a right or not. Id say its pretty relevent. But even so. Say you're a baker.

>>71910284
In what kind of bizzaro world do you think anyone would believe that level of lie on the internet?
Let's assume for a second in the past you had money, paid upfront for the house and were debt free. That's your exemption for a C7 and you're well over it with a 180k house. You've have to be the most ass-backwards retard in the world with money to think that a C7 would be PREFERABLE to a split remortgage to finance medical payments.

Why even bother? Most Europeans are so deluded in their bullshit.

If the society deems food a human right no one would need to come demand loaves of bread from a random baker, as they could get food from the government. If someone did, I would refer them to the government establishment that would give them food.

Yes you stupid slant eyed faggot, when my country is already trillions in debt with no conceivable way of funding more social programs without shrinking the work force's actual income even more...let's just add more. We could save a lot of money if we brought 2nd ID and the others home to let you and your white cock worhsipping whores get fucked by the North. Being stationed in South Korea was one of the worse experiences of my career. Your culture is shit and your women try to replicate all the worse things about my culture.
>>71912339
you seriously dont make any sense
the fact that something is subjective does not matter, because what matters is weather it is moral or not. and morals can be objectively proven, both in results (if we look at history for example) and in philosophical terms
the fact that you dont wanna have an argument because you're a pussy who thinks everything is subjective doesnt change the point that you are still a faggot that is wrong and have not contributed anything to this discussion
>>71912321
You don't think freely available healthcare is something that benefits you?
>>71912068
>If the society deems food a human right no one would need to come demand loaves of bread from a random baker, as they could get food from the government. If someone did, I would refer them to the government establishment that would give them food.
>>71912433
No, you don't understand. If I don't want to pay my taxes, nobody should force me to do so. I simply won't benefit from the services that would be provided by paying these taxes. It's pretty basic stuff. As soon as you force people to pay for a service, you're no better than a mafia.
>>71912264
Police and firemen are funded through taxes. How are doctors and police/firemen fundamentally different? Why is it a "gun to someone's head" when it's doctors/nurses we're talking about but not when talking about police/firemen or other government employees for that matter?

>giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument which was not advanced by that opponent.
wew lad
Well I guess it wasn't really a strawman, because the chink anon didn't even refute the argument he made up.
>>71912522
Yeah, that's a pretty shitty system in terms of getting people food. A better system is just giving people money (basic income) or at least food stamps.
>>71912539
So you would be in favor of a system where you can choose to become an outlaw for whom the services provided by the state, including law and order, are not available?
That's a remarkably consistent position, but I'm not sure how well that would work in practice.
>all the people saying that healthcare is a right on that basis that people say it is, so it is.
IF it's not in the Bill of Rights or Constitution, it's not a right. Plain and simple. That's how rights in America work.
It's illegal for government to stop you from getting healthcare, but not because it's a right, but because there are laws against that.
>>71912469
the fact that something is subjective means that how much it matters depends on who you ask
>morals can be objectively proven,
nope, depends on who you ask, and when, and under what circumstances
i.e. subjective
but yeah im sure YOUR holy paragon morality system exactly as it is now is correct, and that you were born with it (if you werent, then it changed, but must have still been correct all the way)
entire 3rd line is an ad hom
now if you had been paying attention you would see that the fact these positions asserted in this thread as subjective, it is vain to engage in them
then you wonder why, with that understanding, one might choose to not engage in them at all
>>71912676
no, law and order needs to be maintained so we have a fair playing field
but paying for someones food, clothing, healthcare and what not through welfare, taxation and basic income is not fair
>>71912542
Police protect and serve the community and cities they're in. Same with Fire Fighters. Doctors work on what ever schmuck walks in complaining about "Muh elbow feel funny".
>>71912597
A well-managed society doesn't have unemployed lazy niggers in the first place, and as soon as it gets them free healthcare doesn't work anymore - something I think we both know from personal experience.
>>71912632
No wonder your country's beyond saving, Abdel.

>become an outlaw
Where did I say that? I said I shouldn't be forced to pay for shit I don't want.
>>71912697
im sorry, did those documents/ideas exist forever?
the very notion of a "right" is a figment, man made, and every usage of the term in any law
If you don't want medicare for all then you aren't red pilled. The health of the citizens of a nation is the governments job to protect.
>>71912697
>IF it's not in the Bill of Rights or Constitution, it's not a right. Plain and simple. That's how rights in America work.
The American people can decide that it is a right now. The Constitution can be amended.
>>71912854
How does that boot taste?
>>71912469
ok lets try to simplify this again for you
>the fact that something is subjective does not matter,
how much anything "matters" is subjective
simple enough?
>>71912839
Yes anon thats why it isnt a right
Rights arent actually real
>>71910208
In other words, the right to charity, then. What about the privacy interest in one's own medical records (which under a "medical services" scheme, contract rights would cover)?
>>71912777

>her name is Bimbo
I thought they were insulting her by calling her a Bimbo but low and behold the africans name their kids Bimbo.
>>71912839
You're an idiot if you think this. You're right that "rights" are supported by people upholding them, but they don't exist because people say they do. They're a legal document that has very heavy legal weight. Hence why people go to jail for attempting to violate them.
>>71912854
>The health of the citizens of a nation is the governments job to protect.
What's next? Internet is a human right? Housing is a human right? Owning an iphone is a human right?
You don't get to call yourself red pilled, you dirty commie. I bet you'd vote for that filthy kike Sanders.
>>71912903
same line with everything that has been socialized EVER
>>71912738
again, i see where we disagree
i believe morals can be proven, you dont believe morals can be proven.
although as i said, if we look at results from history, you will see that subjective opinions yield different outcomes. free market capitalism has lead to economic growth and success
communism has lead to failiure, destabilizations, wars and economic misfortunes
rather than learning from this you will go ahead and say everything is subjective and say fuck it all?
>>71912876
And until it is, it's not a right. See how this works? Whether or not 99% of the people believe it is, until it's in the Constitution, it's not. Period.
>>71905848
Healthcare works but only in a 100 percent white society
>>71912854
If you want healthcare so badly, work for it yourself you faggot.
>>71912977
Yeah because that's how it is. You people are desperately clinging to the government as some kind of father figure that should be there to protect you at all times. Let it go.
>>71912791
>If I don't want to pay my taxes, nobody should force me to do so. I simply won't benefit from the services that would be provided by paying these taxes.
Law and order are provided by the state, and paid for by means of taxation. From the above statement, you basically say that if you don't want to pay for law and order, you should be able to choose not to, and that as a consequence the benefits of it won't be granted to you.
>>71912791
The legitimacy of those rules comes from the fact that the state is able to enforce them. There is no other source of rules, whether they are the rules a father makes for his children, the rules an employer makes for his employees or a state for its citizens.
You don't have to like those rules, but as long as they are able to enforce them the rules are legtimate.
>>71913006
>le socialism works if the country is homogeneous meme
No it doesn't. It fucking doesn't. All socialism does is breed a generation of apathetic estrogen filled faggots who think "love" solves everything.

> You're right that "rights" are supported by people upholding them,

thats the entirety of every right, outside from enforcement
> They're a legal document that has very heavy legal weight.
that it is "legal" and how much "weight" it has is subjective
> Hence why people go to jail for attempting to violate them.
depends on how much money/influence/charisma/shrewdness/etc you have
>>71913090
Correct
>>71913001
>And until it is, it's not a right. See how this works?
Yes I do. But you clearly don't see how this discussion works. We're discussing whether it should be a right. No one claimed that healthcare is defined as a human right in the US Constitution. You're arguing against an imaginary opponent.
>>71913056
Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying. I won't be under the protection of the police if I don't pay for it.
>>71913066
You're basically telling me it's the law of the strongest?
>>71913090
A President can't "make an amendment", it need to be voted upon, which happens very seldom. Second, no, he couldn't, because it violates existing rights.
>>71913056
Law and order and healthcare are not the same thing.
Law and order are the foundation of civilization. It's the reason why humans congregated 6000 years ago into villages. To delegate violence to an abstract entity which represents them and (in theory) protects them.
The """right""" to healthcare is one of those 20th century socialist scams currently bankrupting the west, based on "muh feels" type arguments.

>I have an accident, say I fell down the stairs or something, and broke my leg. What type of costs would I be looking at?
My insurance is with the hospital system I work at and I pay nothing so long as I go to one of their hospitals. Outside their hospital systems I'll have a $50 copay and then some cost, but the insurance will pay me.
When I had a few moles removed to check for cancer it was a $50 copay and then I had to pay $700, but insurance reimbursed me for that so long as I filed for reimbursement. Went outside the system because it was either wait a week to get cancer off my face with their doctor or get it off the next day at a higher cost.
>>71913267
That's a different argument from the "gun to somebody's head" argument. Now you're just arguing that healthcare is not as essential of a right as safety.
>>71913274
I wasn't making a point, I was responding to you asking me where you said people should be able to choose becoming an outlaw.

A better question would be, why should the police and firemen should take care of the lazy or careless folk?

Police and Firemen should be privatized.

You can make amendments to override amendments, but you can make an amendment that violates others.
If I make an amendment that says that niggers don't have free speech, under the 14th, it vioaltes their 1st, and is by existence, unconstitutional. Part of amending a right is overriding previous ones, and unless it states to do so, it cannot.
Do you have any idea how amendments, or government at all, works?
>>71913347
did i ever tell anyone to keep quiet?
>we should all shut the fuck up because its all subjective?

Because police and firemen are not a profitable business. You don't make any profit from dousing fires.

Not really, because you can't really negotiate a price if your fucking building is on fire.
It wouldn't be possible to negotiate individually who pays for what in the event of, say, a natural disaster.
Which is NOT the same thing as going to see a doctor. Excluding emergency services.
>>71913763
You realize the unlikely hood of that ever happening, as the severity of overriding the Bill of Rights has implications for a state to become totalitarian. But you don't think of those things, do you?
The 2nd Amendment will never, EVER, be amended. Neither will any of the other 9 Bill of Right Amendments.
Healthcare is only expensive in America because greedy jews in big Pharma charge hospitals extortionate amounts of money for painkillers that cost less than a cent per unit to make.
Obamacare would have been good if the price was truly reflected.

Where did you answer it? If mandating it makes it so that they are "forced" to give it away then police and firemen are also being "forced" to give away their services. You fail to make a distinction between the two.

What part of that doesnt matter one iota because a newer amendment overrides older ones. All current gun laws already show the "shall not be infringed" is complete bullshit anyway.

A healthy population is as essential to the collective strength of a government as an educated population you dipshit. Why are you happy to pay for someone else to send their kids to school?
And you pay for maternity because a nation needs babies to fucking exist you stupid cunt.
Why pay for someone to receive disability support? Why pay for unemployment benefit? Why pay for roads when you prefer to walk?
It's a society you stupid prick.
And another reflection: things are illegal because it's the law it's not really a valid argument

it isnt only my problem though, its the aggressors problem aswell, since someone has to bring him to court. this cant be done without a police force

Funny thing is that you can actually go personally bankrupt in USA which would be a great thing.
In Finland - one of the holy lands of free healthcare and gibs me dat - you will fucking pay for the debts you have accumulated for fucking for ever. Banks are never required to let go of your debts and there are over half a million people (10% of population) that are still paying off debts and living in absolute poverty because of 90's banking crisis.
It sure is fun living in this social democratic paradise. And hey the healthcare is almost free to the end user, so you can't even die to cancer and shit, and you have to keep paying the banks and the jew money you owe.

I have an HSA with a $2500 deductible. My pre-tax dollars go into a savings account (HSA) and once it reaches $1,000 it invests into whatever mutual funds I select. Right now I have $3347 in the HSA and it's spread across 4 mutual funds (high, mid, low caps and another index fund).
If I broke my leg right now I wouldn't pay shit, I've already been saving for it.
HSA is literally the greatest thing ever if the company administering it allows you to invest the savings. If you don't have a catastrophic event or get sick often, it's essentially an additional retirement account that you can borrow from to cover health costs.
Thanks GWB!

Free to be fucked in the ass by insurance and pharmaceutic dudes blackmailing you for not letting you die like a dog in the street the day you become sick, while throwing money to your leaders in the hope that nothing change.
The real problem with healthcare is when you import half the poor world like we do.
But a socialized healthcare itself is much more cost efficient.
>>71914191
Yes, but that has nothing to do with the fact that a new amendment does not inherently override older ones. You AMEND older ones, you don't amend something that also overrides something else.
You'd have to make an amendment that specifically over rides the 2A, which will literally, and I mean LITERALLY, never happen, no matter how much you want it to.

But I don't prefer to walk lol. Where are you getting the idea that I do from? I use roads thus have no problem contributing to their upkeep. This is why I believe bike riders should be registered and should have to pay the same road taxes car drivers do.

Thats why I said supposedly. The gun lobby is incredibly strong but there is a shift happening where billionaires like Bloomberg are funding iniatives to make future generations be anti-gun be it in media. Apple already banned any image of a gun on any of its apps. These little things make a larger shift happen. If the entire nation is anti-gun there is nothing the gun lobby can do.

Think about how much a house is worth anon
Crassus buys it for, if they were lucky, a third of its value
Then he sells it again for 3/4 of its value
He gets many houses per day
I modern terms (for a house in melbourne) he could make a few hundred thousand for every house he put out, and if he payed his 20 firemen 50/hr that wouldn't put a dent in his profits
Of course competition would mean he had to buy the houses for more but competition can never drive prices below a profitable level unless the other competitors have a superior system

>It's either everything public or everything private, if we are going down the road of freedom of consumer choice.
No, definitely not.
If you're going to make the argument that you shouldn't be forced to pay for anything, then the logical conclusion is that you also believe you shouldn't be forced to pay for law enforcement either, but that doesn't mean the only options are either full commie or full anarchy. It's just that the basis for the argument isn't a principle regarding forcibly taking people's resources.

Broke my arm. I have a high deductible plan. Also known as catastrophic coverage. These are honestly what the US needs everyone to have to fix healthcare costs.
My company paid the premiums, but they cost about $600-$800 a year. So like $50-$70 a month or like $30 a paycheck.
I have to pay 100% of bill after the insurance company gets their negotiated reduced price. (They inflate costs to pay for people that don't pay their bills so people with insurance pick up the slack). Insurances fights the hikes.
My cost was $800-$900. Would have been a lot more if I did physical therapy, probably a few thousand. When I asked the doctor what therapy costs, he was puzzled and I explained I pay for everything. "So is the therapy worth it?" I asked. He said to just use my arm and squeeze a stress ball. Medicare fags or people that don't pay would have wasted thousands, and they do.
Flip side. I fell and busted my ass, literally, or really my tailbone. Needed surgery. Bill was something like $40,000-$70,000, maybe $30,000 - $40,000 after insurance discounts. My HIGH deductible was $2500. Work gives me $500 to be on this plan cause it saves them so much freaking money. I had like $1500 from work and whatever pre-tax money I threw into my health savings account. Paid like $1000 of my own pre-tax money.
If I was hit by a bus a week later, bill would be $0. Work paid $30 a paycheck so I would be guaranteed to not have to spend more than $2,500 a year, but that first $2,500 I have to pay 100%.
End result is you try not to spend money and be wasteful, but if serious shit happens you are golden. Unfortunately so many fags here don't want to spend that $800 a year, or they don't have $2500 set aside so even if work provided insurance they would use it cause they don't fucking save.
>>71915572
Fucked up laws? Are you just being wilfully stupid?
Laws play no part in it. In America they charge 250 because they can get away with it. They're selling it directly to the people, who need it and have no choice but to pay.
In Europe they're selling their drugs to governments who then provide them to the people who need them, and have to disclose how much their drug costs to make and how much profit they'll make, allowing the government to negotiate a fair price.
Get your head out of your ass.
>>71915572

bro, do you have any idea how capitalism works?

They're expensive because there is virtually no competition for healthcare costs across the states--they have no incentive to lower them as it stands. Remove those boundaries, and prices will drop down significantly.

Jesus you're embarrassing yourself.
How does someone 'come along' and make the drug for cheaper when they've patented it, dipshit?
How many people die or go bankrupt paying 250 dollars for a pill that is sold in Europe for 7 while waiting for another company to decide to make it for cheaper?
How does another company 'come along' and make it for cheaper when all of the drugs are made by one gigantic multi-billion dollar corporation that monopolises the market?
And yes the drug in my image is patented you mong. It costs just 15 dollars in America before a corporation came along and claimed to own the rights to it. Now it costs 175.
