Even if you put $1,200 away a month one hospital stay would bankrupt you.
one hospital stay would bankrupt you
Because of Insurance companies...
So go check into any hospital and see how far your money will take you without insurance.
Do you think hospitals and their staff are going to take pay cuts to make this happen.
It’s a great idea after everything collapses but for now it’s not feasible.
A ruptured appendix is $189,000 and they do nothing except remove it and give you iv antibiotics for 10 days.
If private hospitals that don’t except insurance started popping up then it would work but the hospitals and insurance companies are in on it together.
I've never paid a hospital bill and I've never had health insurance. So it seems it doesn't really matter how much the procedures are. They just sell your debt to a collection agency to which you owe nothing unless you agree to it. There's more than enough tax money to pay for it all. Stop defending a broken system. Maybe its time to start fresh... instead of continuing to deal with the bullshit...
