Here's a couple excellent articles on this. What this fails to mention is that 60% of Americans disagree with the Supreme Courts decision handed out today.
This money pit needs to stop.
A good friend of mine with insurance was knocked out when he got bucked off a bucking horse last fall. With insurance his medical bill was over $8000. He was taken to the hospital by ambulance which was 5 miles away. They sat him in the hall way as the ER was very busy that night. He was taken for a CT scan to make sure everything was okay and released. He was in the hospital for less than 2 hours. The people in there were mostly un-insured as the nurse told us including one on a suicide watch, it was the third time in a month he had been admitted for it, and the 25% of them illegal aliens.
The CT scan itself was $5600 and took maybe 10 minutes. A new machine probably runs in the rhealm of $500,000 and if it was only used twice an hour at that rate they could pay for the machine in two days!!! But yet he paid for probably 10 of the 20 individuals that were in the ER that night.
This is the root of health care issues. By using insurance you can artificially inflate costs and prices against a hedge fund that is used as an investment option for those companies and their partners. (Hospitals, Doctors, Pharmasutical Companies). In other words a ponzi scheme where the only person that gets hurt is the end-user.
