[04:45] IsambardPrince Though for different reasons. [04:45] IsambardPrince We're getting failing hospitals in areas where a lot of people are uninsured completely or only have Medicaid. [04:46] IsambardPrince I think the NHS hospitals in the UK are bad in poor areas because the government just doesn't want to fund them as well. [04:46] schestowitz[TR2] we like NHS [04:46] schestowitz[TR2] i worked for NHS for many years [04:46] IsambardPrince Can't have the important people complaining. [04:46] IsambardPrince You probably live near one of the better ones. [04:46] schestowitz[TR2] NHS has many workers [04:46] schestowitz[TR2] the US media ttacks the NHS [04:46] schestowitz[TR2] and you know who owns this media [04:46] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], I have to go to another state to get my arm surgery. [04:46] schestowitz[TR2] so when yopu see bad press about NHS [04:46] schestowitz[TR2] ask yourself [04:46] schestowitz[TR2] why? [04:46] schestowitz[TR2] who for? [04:47] IsambardPrince Because we have so many failed hospitals here that either can't handle it at all or are so not the best place to have this done. [04:47] IsambardPrince You kind of don't want a third rate hospital doing your arm. [04:47] schestowitz[TR2] define third rate [04:47] schestowitz[TR2] and complexity of operation [04:47] schestowitz[TR2] i don't know [04:47] IsambardPrince There's enough things that can go wrong already without having a problem hospital and a doctor who would work at one to go along with the risks.

Cartilage transplant. Rotator cuff repair. [04:48] IsambardPrince Possibly more. [04:49] IsambardPrince They have to remove part of my shoulder joint that broke off and is floating around in there damaging the joint more. [04:49] IsambardPrince Then screw down a donor bone graft. [04:50] IsambardPrince It's not something I trust the local hospital to do. [04:50] IsambardPrince Considering they're $4 million behind on their utilities and property taxes. [04:50] IsambardPrince Doctors aren't being paid. [04:50] IsambardPrince Etc. [04:50] IsambardPrince They have patients wander off and are found dead. [04:50] IsambardPrince This is the kind of hospital you get in the neighborhood I can afford to live in. [04:51] IsambardPrince So who would work in a place like that, as a surgeon? [04:51] IsambardPrince Someone who can't go somewhere better. [04:51] IsambardPrince Which means now you have two problems. [04:52] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], Yeah, I like Medicare. [04:52] IsambardPrince I still have bills but you should see some of these bills. [04:53] IsambardPrince Like $4,700 just for imaging, so they know what's going on in the joint. We haven't even done anything to the joint yet. I think Medicare left me to pay $190 of this. [04:54] IsambardPrince So far I've used over $1700 of physical therapy. I might end up having to pay like $100-150. [04:54] IsambardPrince Same after surgery. [04:54] IsambardPrince If you don't have insurance of some kind, nobody will do the surgery. [04:54] IsambardPrince They want to make sure they'll at least get most of their money or the surgery isn't happening. [04:55] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR2], The whole idea is what mom accidentally admitted. [04:55] IsambardPrince "I've worked jobs I absolutely hated because if I quit I wouldn't have had health insurance." [04:55] IsambardPrince That's the real reason they make everything so expensive. [04:56] IsambardPrince You'll either keep a job you despise, even if just for the insurance, or join the military so you can use the VA for the rest of your life.
