[04:55] Isambard_Prince The ACA says you get a subsidy if you're within 400% of the poverty line for your household size. You get Medicaid under 138%. Besides, they upped that to 700% for subsidies and even the Republicans realize they want to keep something like that. [04:55] Isambard_Prince That means that people who aren't exactly poor are getting cheap health insurance. [04:56] Isambard_Prince When you get a subsidy up to nearly $110,000 for a single person that's pretty wild. [04:57] Isambard_Prince You know, my mom's friend from church is only paying $47 a month for a Gold plan from the marketplace. [04:57] Isambard_Prince It covers almost all of her expenses. [04:58] Isambard_Prince In 2004 I quit a job and got a COBRA letter in the mail stating that I could continue my employer sponsored plan if I paid the entire cost, and I could keep it for 6 months. It was going to cost over $900 a month, in 2004. [04:58] Isambard_Prince Yes, really. [04:58] Isambard_Prince Health insurance in America has never been cheaper or better quality for most people than it is right now. [04:59] Isambard_Prince To say that we've eliminated pre-existing conditions (and everything was one if they could get away with not paying), mandated preventative care, zero cost vaccinations, lots of great things, and then it's down to where someone could pay $47. Some people don't even pay anything. I mean it depends on what you make. [04:59] Isambard_Prince But in the NHS, you pay it because it's called taxes. ● Dec 01 [05:00] Isambard_Prince You see whatever doctor can't make more money in the US. [05:00] Isambard_Prince They tell you who you'll see. It's the guy there is. [05:00] Isambard_Prince If it's Dr. Sexton and he wants to do the wrong arm surgery and screw things up worse, that's the surgeon. [05:01] Isambard_Prince I mean, I had options, nobody said I had to go to Dr. Sexton, and I quickly found out I didn't want that one. He didn't know what to do. [05:01] Isambard_Prince But in the NHS he might have been the surgeon. [05:01] Isambard_Prince I mean, someone always pays somehow, and there's a lot of ways to do it. [05:02] Isambard_Prince I think if there's anything rotten left in our system it's that there's too many highly paid executives at health insurance companies, but when you look at how many people are covered by each company, that bloat is only adding a few pennies to each policy. [05:03] Isambard_Prince I'm very happy with Medicare. There was no wait, I got to see who I wanted, get it done at a research hospital that's years ahead of everyone else. [05:03] Isambard_Prince By a surgeon that I looked into before I agreed to anything. [05:03] Isambard_Prince You listen to what the people that already had that guy had to say about him. [05:04] Isambard_Prince schestowitz[TR2], I'm glad that your friend randomly got good results from the NHS. [05:04] Isambard_Prince I wonder if everyone is that lucky. [05:04] Isambard_Prince I know of many doctors, competent and otherwise. Outstanding and horrible. [05:04] Isambard_Prince And when you pick where you go, if this guy doesn't have the goods, you keep looking. [05:05] Isambard_Prince I followed my doctor into another state as the local hospital system is collapsing. [05:05] Isambard_Prince It's collapsing because there's too many undocumented immigrants here that don't pay. [05:05] Isambard_Prince That's not their fault. [05:05] Isambard_Prince That's not the fault of the immigrants. [05:05] Isambard_Prince It's our fault for failing to cover them in a less stupid way than having hospital failures.

[05:06] Isambard_Prince There will be a process, but you get to stay. Like a probationary period. [05:06] Isambard_Prince You cause one problem during that period, you get deported. [05:06] Isambard_Prince You work and keep your nose clean, you get papers. [05:07] Isambard_Prince If you can make it five years in this country without getting into any criminal issues, I think you should get a green card. You should get a work permit for that five year period though. [05:08] Isambard_Prince At the end of that five years, no criminal stuff, paying your bills, good moral character, you stay. [05:08] Isambard_Prince We need more people like that, honestly. [05:08] Isambard_Prince There's too many people like Brian Gonad's family. [05:08] Isambard_Prince "Do they still have their hymen!?" [05:08] Isambard_Prince "I ont some meat!" [05:09] Isambard_Prince If they get to stay and are usually out of prison, why complain about immigrants? [05:10] Isambard_Prince So the hospital flops because of uncompensated care. That's actually a problem brought about in part by our batshit insane immigration laws. [05:11] Isambard_Prince It's not a problem about which insurance you have or do we do Obamacare or Medicare. [05:11] Isambard_Prince It's 13 million undocumented people using the system but who can't purchase insurance. [05:12] Isambard_Prince It's fucking crazy, and it costs so much to deport people that that's not an answer either. [05:12] Isambard_Prince It costs more to deport one person than it does to buy health insurance for them for the rest of their life.

Since the shots weren't "medically necessary", they also wouldn't over the visits to get the shots even if he wanted to pay the cash price of the [17:39] Isambard_Prince shot. [17:40] Isambard_Prince Those private Medicare plans are horrible. They rope people in with "extra benefits" then 69% of the people who get the plan never use a single penny's worth of the "extra benefits", and now they have a company stonewalling them with denials, pre-approvals, and waiting periods.

[17:47] Isambard_Prince Google is suppressing autocomplete for "Vitamin D and COVID" [17:47] Isambard_Prince And it returns misleadiing information that contradicts most studies. [17:47] Isambard_Prince schestowitz[TR2], ^ [17:48] Isambard_Prince If you scroll down, most of the links to university research studies show that Vitamin D supplementation probably does help many people. [17:48] Isambard_Prince But the "AI" summary suggests it's not helpful. [17:48] Isambard_Prince Most people are being conditioned to rely on misleading "AI" summaries.

[17:50] Isambard_Prince They simply won't show the public how they ever arrived at these conclusions. [17:50] Isambard_Prince And the vaccines are "so safe" that the government said they'll tell us how safe they are....in 70 years. [17:51] Isambard_Prince It's because they're not really a vaccine. It's more like "some product". [17:51] Isambard_Prince And so this makes people wonder about actual vaccines, and they even stop taking those. [17:51] Isambard_Prince Which is how we get the surge of Measles and Pertussis and probably all sorts of things like Hepatitis, really. [17:52] Isambard_Prince So you wonder "Does the RSV vaccine work or not?" Well, if it works and it's so safe, why do they only give it to people over 65? [17:53] Isambard_Prince If it's so safe, why don't they do like the Pneumonia vaccines and say "Well, it's mostly for people over 65, but we'll let you have one if you want it."?
