[08:38] *martin has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) [08:38] IsambardPrince It doesn't pay doctors very well, so mostly the bad ones take it. [08:38] IsambardPrince But it's better than nothing. [08:38] IsambardPrince It's like getting the public defender at a criminal trial. [08:38] IsambardPrince It's better than nothing. [08:38] IsambardPrince Medicare is the program for the elderly and people on disability. [08:39] IsambardPrince It pays providers more, so it's usually accepted anywhere private insurance is, even better, original Medicare (the red white and blue card) has no networks. [08:39] IsambardPrince Just doctors that accept assignment and doctors who don't accept assignment (may charge you 15% more) and doctors who don't take it at all. [08:40] IsambardPrince 90% of the doctors in the country take Original Medicare. And almost all of those take assignment,. [08:40] IsambardPrince So for example, If we're in Missouri and have a car accident and get taken to an out of network hospital, Mandy would have to tell Aetna it was an emergency and that's why it should be covered in network. [08:41] IsambardPrince But the hospital almost certainly takes Medicare assignment, so I wouldn't have to argue with anyone. [08:41] IsambardPrince These private companies save money by doing what's called Narrow Networks. [08:42] IsambardPrince That means that most of the providers you can see in network are very close to the area the policy was sold in. [08:42] IsambardPrince Now the good news is this Aetna policy is a Walmart plan sold in Illinois so that means the state should have a lot of providers. [08:42] IsambardPrince Many of their plans on the Affordable Care Act exchange, most of the providers in network will be in the county you live in. [08:43] IsambardPrince schestowitz[TR3], When Mandy needed the tympanoplasty (reconstruction of the eardrum and such) it took longer to get the insurance pre-authorization than anything else. [08:44] IsambardPrince But we still got him into surgery within 5 months of seeing the first specialist, which we did not need a referral for. [08:44] IsambardPrince So I was looking at your NHS hospitals. [08:44] IsambardPrince They print the wait times for operations. [08:44] IsambardPrince If Mandy needed the same surgery in the UK, he may have had to wait between 18 and 26 months. [08:46] IsambardPrince If this happened to me in the UK I wouldn't be in surgery three months later. [08:46] IsambardPrince They'd probably get to me in 4-5 years, and by that time the arthrosis may have developed to the point there was so much damage it turned into a full shoulder replacement. [08:46] IsambardPrince Just from being on the wait list and in pain for five more years. [08:47] IsambardPrince Now sure, when they got around to it, there wouldn't be a bill. That's what the high taxes are for. [08:47] IsambardPrince :) [08:48] IsambardPrince Meanwhile, I'd also pay for people who retained their citizenship, pay no tax, and hop on a plane to use the NHS.

I worked very long (9+ years) for the Schumacher's and ien's ISP company before they kicked me on the street and took my key card with my lunch payments of 14,400 NOK just to demonstrate raw power of their family-run company. It is what happens if workers protest a [22:41] schestowitz[TR3] gainst status quo in a family-run software company. Usually the families are good, devoted religious people who want to help society by bringing goods that the workers get paid for to produce for them and pay for with their salary to the market. Free Software is different, since there is no single family that rules over Free Software Developers and who masters the payment. Payments in Free Software are voluntarily. [22:41] schestowitz[TR3] Since the consumer price of Free Software is near zero, the manufacturing cost comes naturally by those who give donations to workers who are less fortunate than you. Instead of paying family-run companies for software, pay to individual workers you see are devoted to certain tasks such as documentation, translation, release announcements and distribution.
