Every step of the way you've disagreed
they're tremendously expensive, but far less so if you ***don't use credit or insurance***
Read the part in bold
Having no money and having a credit card are not the same thing
Cover an expensive medical procedure then you can't cover the cost of the expensive medical procedure and will go into debt just to get healed
Be a fucking adult, learn how to negotiate, and make an agreement with the hospital
it's how we did things before the insurance scam
Such negotiations are out of your hands when dealing with medical procedures
They hold all the cards your bargaining posture is dubious at best
Factually incorrect, my mother and grandmother negotiated, one with Duke and the other with Sentara
Okay but can you use examples to come from reality?
CareCredit is a thing
And it's going to cost you an arm and a leg to get your arm and leg back
My family members aren't real? lol
Anyone can pull a name out of thin air and attach bullshit stories to them
People are so heavily indoctrinated they simply don't know you have the ability to negotiate with doctors
not all doctors will do it, however, it's not an absolute
nothing is
No you can try to negotiate with them you'll get laughed at and sued for wasting their time but you can try
Best case scenario a $20,000 procedure will get bumped up to say $40,000 if you pay it over the course of the rest of your life
Since they would be waiting to see that money they're obviously going to want more money for the inconvenience
people spend more than that on a car 🙄
I honestly don't want to hear it lol
Using the 1% is an example to Define what the status quo of the market is isn't very honest
There is a very good reason doctors are beginning to refuse medicare/medicaid etc.
Not exactly a strawman and I don't think it technically counts as cherry picking
the 1%?
You have lost your God damned mind
I'm literally living at poverty level
You can't honestly think everyone out there is buying Tesla's
and I purchased a $20,000 car
it's paid for, 100$
If you were living at the poverty level and spending over 40 Grand on a car I think it's your own fault honestly
100%*
I own a business, purchased the equipment for that too
Pfffhaha
Oh so now you're not at the poverty line
This is just hilarious
owning a business and/or buying a car doesn't have a single thing to do with whether your income is considered at poverty level or not
You and a dude in a different group have made this day very entertaining
When you own a business and are hiring other people in to do the work for you you're a bit better off than the hobo across the street
