But regulation will ALSO decrease the costs.

2019-09-16 21:49:10 UTC  

It's also terrible

2019-09-16 21:49:16 UTC  

Shit jobs for shit money

2019-09-16 21:50:11 UTC  

Also what medicare for all are u talking about because i swear everyone says they have a medicare for all plan but they are all different

2019-09-16 21:50:20 UTC  

In the dems at least

2019-09-16 21:50:20 UTC  

Yes.

2019-09-16 21:50:21 UTC  

🙂

2019-09-16 21:50:46 UTC  

5k is not alot

2019-09-16 21:50:51 UTC  

Considering I make 60k

2019-09-16 21:51:27 UTC  

8.3% of ur income

2019-09-16 21:51:28 UTC  

Well the way pricing works is that the pharma are given domestic monopoly. That's why you hear about people buying in Mexico. It's the same drug from the same manufacturer just sold cheaper abroad.

The best answer is not regulation. Simply make importing legal. Without domestic monopoly they can't gouge. It *does* mean they would have to raise the price they sell to the lesser nations of the earth to cover R&D but I'm fine with that....

I lose more in taxes than I do in ins premiums

2019-09-16 21:51:38 UTC  

Oh wow

2019-09-16 21:51:53 UTC  

Idk seems a lot to me
Im still pretty young so

2019-09-16 21:51:53 UTC  

I can tell you what happens when medicare is shit

2019-09-16 21:52:02 UTC  

Im only 22 my dude

2019-09-16 21:52:10 UTC  

Im not an old fart yet xD

2019-09-16 21:52:10 UTC  

Im literally 17

2019-09-16 21:52:13 UTC  

People go to private practices and/or foreign nations and get their proper healthcare there, e.g. dental work

2019-09-16 21:52:26 UTC  

Those numbers don't show up on the "medicare for all" shit

2019-09-16 21:52:42 UTC  

@Tiberius

Look into concierge. It's pretty cheap then you just need major medical.

2019-09-16 21:53:00 UTC  

Single payer numbers are mostly camouflaging the shit reality

2019-09-16 21:53:28 UTC  

I have blue cross blue shield I am largely good my man

2019-09-16 21:53:35 UTC  

Part of why it is higher is because I am obese

2019-09-16 21:53:58 UTC  

Costs me an extra 550$ a year to be overweight

2019-09-16 21:54:21 UTC  

But im okay with that because it costs ME 550$ to be overweight not everyone else.

2019-09-16 21:54:45 UTC  

implying if someone's poor enough to need medicare they can afford to just up and go to another fucking country for any fucking reason, let alone medical care

2019-09-16 21:55:34 UTC  

Concierge is kinda awesome. You pay a flat monthly for a group of doctors. They have specialist, do house calls, etc. Not too pricey either because no middle man.

2019-09-16 21:55:37 UTC  

sounds more like a god damn pilgrimage

2019-09-16 21:57:05 UTC  

@Jokerfaic that's *exactly* what my mom used to do with us, and she was poor

2019-09-16 21:57:37 UTC  

Travelled to Hungary, which is right next to Austria, so we could get cheaper dental care, which then doesn't show up both in expenses and treatment in the Austrian system

2019-09-16 21:57:44 UTC  

We're still doing that

2019-09-16 21:58:20 UTC  

>Austrian

2019-09-16 21:58:21 UTC  

oh well if its right fucking next door that might make it cheaper

2019-09-16 21:58:36 UTC  

Mexico is pretty next door

2019-09-16 21:58:37 UTC  

No it was cheaper because it's fucking Hungary, which is its own shithole

2019-09-16 21:58:43 UTC  

Panama isnt much further

2019-09-16 21:58:45 UTC  

Or go to canada

2019-09-16 21:58:48 UTC  

So is canada

2019-09-16 21:58:55 UTC  

Yet there's pretty large costs to get to those places @Tiberius

2019-09-16 21:58:59 UTC
