Stop buying insurance...but save the money you would pay, so you get to keep the interest...

If you remain healthy...that's money in your pocket...

If you have a health issue, you pay cash...until you can't pay anymore...

How is that different than insurance...they cap what they will pay..... :twocents:

And Wedgie...go ahead and remove all profit from medical care...and see how long your small community hospital remains open... :coffee:
That joke of a fucking hospital needs to close, nobody can afford to go there, and there is real hospitals in Billings just 90 miles away. Half the communities retards work at that hospital, McDonalds couldn't employ them all.

Question? Is it owned/operated by a for-profit company...a non-profit...or the city/county/state government?

It is for profit, but the garner 3 mills from a special district, there are two hospital districts in the county, and last I knew a mill in their district is worth about 150K, and it really is a hell of a complex for this community, all buildings are newer than 15 years. So you know the three mills does very little.

I do believe we will take the risk as you suggest when the wife gets her cornea lazered later this year and start putting the dough in a medical IRA type account. I don't like the idea of it, but this policy is just too cheezy. Guess if we run up the big bill and can't pay it, y'all get to chip in on it. :nod:

Hell. That is the government plan in a nutshell. Except for the sending back the part they don't need.
Who you trying to **** skippy? Wait until your insurance package starts costing 14 hundred bucks a month and covers nothing. 8-)
My plan already costs near that now (about $1250) and covers all that I need. If it didn't cover so many things that I don't need, things that are mandated by the government to be there whether they are wanted/needed or not, it wouldn't cost so much.

Out of the first 10K spent, $8,500 is out of pocket. The old plan was $5,200 out of the first 10K, we never had a claim on that.

My mortgage never was over $800.00/month.

I love how this thread has gone. :rofl: I started it to see how long before the two major sides faced off with the "well you guys suck more than our guys" and the "yeah, our guys are crooked, but your guys are crookeder" bullshit. :roll: What I didn't expect was that it would become yet another discussion of the healthcare debacle. Way to miss the fact that we are all being duped and abused by the same fucking morons that so many of us seem to think somehow give a rats ass about anyone but themselves and how they can consolidate and hold onto the power they have. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Dear lord... please allow this dangerous combination of hair spary, bat slobber, and D.O.T. four automatic transmission fluid to excite my mind, occupy my spirits, and enrage my body, provoking me to kick any man or woman in the back of the head regardless of what he or she has or has not done unto me.

Carry on!
I'm sure this will cause Hoagie, Z, T and a few others to stroke out but... I think what we need to do is remove the profit motive from health care... since that's where the cost explosions are coming from (combined with a medicare being a guaranteed payee)
Of course! Better to have an UNprofitable system. All we have to do is find someone else to pay for it.

Um... Whoa there my Communist Brother
Removing profit from the Pharmaceutical & Medical will guarantee complete and total failure... Unless you believe Medical School should be free and Pharm research should be federally funded...

I don't know about the insurance end of the system...
but the research training and science end would fail
