You just have to be able to stomach seeing your family, friends, and neighbors, suffer horribly and die to easily preventable conditions should our economic rationing system for healthcare ever become rational.

I have patients who are sick as fuck right now denied by their insurance sticking away days we will eat as a hospital.

Medical Mutual is the worse commercial insurance bar none. They will approve an intial three days then auto deny in reviews on day four onward. Humana is pretty bad. Molina and Medical Mutual like to set last cover days on Friday and review on Monday for some reason so when they deny Saturday and Sunday are uncovered already, its fucked up. Do you know how much uninsured hospital stays cost? It works for the shareholders.

Caresource is doing something that is going to change inpatient a lot currently but I'm not sure how that will play out yet. It has to do with reimbursals tied to planning aftercare that the patient actually follows up with. That's just not gonna work.

I was looking at a bernie sanders q/a where he asked people about medical expenses, multiple $100,000 + bills, some stuff like $1,400 for applying a bandaid.
In my country this shit just doesn't happen.

I've billed insurances $300 for a Walker that's 30 bucks at a pharmacy. It's because we are paying nurses and aides 24 hours a day to take care of people denied by insurance lol. And all the people who come in without insurance is staggering. Some people are young and at the hospital a lot.

I can always go to the VA and gamble on their shitty hospital for free because I'm a disabled veteran....i have some of the best health insurance available but even great health insurance sucks in the states lol.

I pay for private health insurance because i have cancer, but i almost always just go public because its cheaper and easier.

You mean Juicy "100% exonerated" Smollete

he dindu nuffin sir.

meanwhile black twitter moves directly from "cops never get in trouble for killin folks" to "5 years isn't enough for accidentally killin folks" without missing a beat. maybe that's what they mean by "white people always dance to the lyrics not the beat". no need to question the words when you can just thump to the bass.
