@sɪᴅɪsɴᴏᴛʜᴇʀᴇ How can the free market work if no one knows the prices of operations

2020-03-23 19:57:28 UTC  

They do, that's the point. In a market system prices would be more transparent, due to the abolishment of the complex third party payer insurance system.

2020-03-23 19:58:43 UTC  

@sɪᴅɪsɴᴏᴛʜᴇʀᴇ Insurance isn’t the problem for minimal price transparency, it’s hospitals

2020-03-23 19:59:14 UTC  

Actually it's related, it's called the "third party payer system"

2020-03-23 19:59:22 UTC  

I have to go so I'll give you a link if you want to read more about it.

2020-03-23 19:59:22 UTC  

And do you genuinely think that out of the goodness of their heart in a system with decreased regulation that hospitals would release prices

2020-03-23 19:59:47 UTC  

Ok, this was a really nice discussion

Despite making up 13% of the population...

2020-03-25 11:05:22 UTC  

Race issues?

2020-03-25 11:05:29 UTC  

Just quit being racist

2020-03-25 11:05:59 UTC  

smh

2020-03-25 17:54:32 UTC  

Facts

2020-03-25 19:37:10 UTC  

@Snubbi Let's talk here, the thing I'm for is a private healthcare system fully.

2020-03-25 19:37:29 UTC  

I think the US is well equipped to handle the Coronavirus though, infact it's the best prepared in the world.

2020-03-25 19:38:41 UTC  

ye but you should consider the problem

2020-03-25 19:38:52 UTC  

3000 $ for a corona test

2020-03-25 19:38:59 UTC  

imagine all the homeless people in new york

2020-03-25 19:39:19 UTC  

or youre sick and cant do it because you arent able because yo uhave less money

2020-03-25 19:40:23 UTC  

I think we should have a mix of both, like we do now, but just move the standards to lower income so people who really can’t afford coverage actually get coverage

2020-03-25 19:40:32 UTC  

Coronavirus tests are free for people who have insurance.

2020-03-25 19:40:50 UTC  

And it doesn't cost *that much*

2020-03-25 19:41:01 UTC  

they are free period

2020-03-25 19:41:09 UTC  

in the united states at least

2020-03-25 19:41:19 UTC  

by government mandate

2020-03-25 19:41:24 UTC  

really but at the start it wasnt

2020-03-25 19:41:38 UTC  

only for like the first couple of weeks

2020-03-25 19:41:51 UTC  

so imagine you got corona in these weeks

2020-03-25 19:41:53 UTC  

Those first couple of weeks definitely had a negative impact

2020-03-25 19:41:59 UTC  

That’s a good point

2020-03-25 19:42:00 UTC  

and infected people because you cant afford the test

2020-03-25 19:42:07 UTC  

there weren't enough tests in the first place

2020-03-25 19:42:19 UTC  

That’s not necessarily a good way to combat his point

2020-03-25 19:42:24 UTC  

they could only do like 2000 a day and they had to send it to the cdc center in georgia

2020-03-25 19:42:25 UTC  

That only shows more incompetence

2020-03-25 19:42:31 UTC  

yep

2020-03-25 19:42:31 UTC  

nationally

2020-03-25 19:42:50 UTC  

i think every person has a worth
