      Getting charged fifty dollars for a single Tylenol or a tissue tells you everything you need to know

      When cleaning out my grandparent’s house, we found the hospital bill for my aunt’s birth. $50 for a 3 day stay.

      Are you trying to tell me it shouldnt cost over 2k out of pocket after insurance for them to look at me for 2minutes, take an xray, and then tell me that i had a pinched nerve in my neck?

      Maybe double check the spelling before posting next time. It’s very quick.

      Still better than damn near everywhere else. There’s a reason is going to New York’s premier hospital than some place in Great Britain.

      America bad but let’s not act like we don’t lead in a bunch of healthcare industries due to how privatized it is

      Someone’s gotta pay for those nurses and doctors’ salaries. Believe it or not, their expertise, their tools, drugs don’t just fall off the sky.

      Hospitals trying to balance bill you while paying their CEOs millions of dollars are just purely evil, not just merely “businesses.”

      My mom is in the hospital for an aneurysm. We have a dog at home so we are making a trip home when they do mid-day quiet hrs. Because of this, we are spending 30 a day on parking, but thank god shes here for more than 5 days so we quality for $10 a week passes now.

      Same in our side of the world. There are cheaper alternatives like our public hospitals, but you got to wait long in lines and not all of the equipment are there.

      Our system’s pretty bad but there’s a reason why about 80% of all of medical Innovation comes from the United states. Is a strong profit incentive. Institutions funded by the state have no incentive to do better because you’re going to pay for it no matter what and they won’t get paid anymore for doing their job better

      And with “free” healthcare you rarely get any help. The doctors get paid the same anyway, so they don’t really give a shit if you get better or die.

      Bruh. Even WATER. $1.70 every time I got a cup in my 5 day stay.

      I had never had heartburn before, so when I got it I went to a doctor’s office because I thoguht I was having a heart attack. They used a stephescope and had me run on a treadmill for a minute or two then charged 500$. The whole visit probably lasted 15 minutes.

      Lmao, I wish they were businesses. When I was in Japan, I would go to the doctor, see the doctor, wait in the lobby afterward, pay the bill (10~30 dollars), and never hear from them again.

      Meanwhile, in the US, you go to the hospital, have ONE thing done, pay for it, 2 weeks to 6 months later receive a bill for something else, and 2 weeks to 6 months later receive another bill for something else. The best part is that the final steps can sometimes keep repeating themselves many more times!

      They are healthcare facilities operating like for profit businesses, to be exact.

      Yep and they pray on employees good will when they cut pay and benefits in order to not have it effect patient costs since it makes them money.

      “We cut your shift differential and overtime but we know you understand as you care about our patients.”

      No, I care about my bills and my check first and foremost as caring about patients doesn’t pay my mortgage. I don’t work out of Charity

      I got charged 800 bucks for waiting 3 hours and for them to check my blood pressure and ekg.

      Vet clinics too.  It’s like “does my dog need this shot?  Or are you just upselling me here?” 

    34. yinchanvo on

      Technically true. What year do you think they should have been socialized?

      Grocery stores in America aren’t grocery stores , they’re businesses

      I work in rural, non profit healthcare. The outlook ain’t so good. Nobody I know is getting rich. Microsoft, Fuji, GE, they seem to be doing just great and really do NOT fucking care that they are choking us out financially.
