Wed 07:37:18 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But Medicaid would always pay last.
Wed 07:37:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's called a payer of last resort.
Wed 07:37:39 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Medicaid is a safety net program for people who are in poverty.
Wed 07:37:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's hard to even qualify for.

Wed 07:38:33 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's like getting the public defender at a criminal trial.
Wed 07:38:36 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It's better than nothing.
Wed 07:38:54 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Medicare is the program for the elderly and people on disability.
Wed 07:39:24 │ 〖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.
Wed 07:39:46 │ 〖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.
Wed 07:40:04 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ 90% of the doctors in the country take Original Medicare. And almost all of those take assignment,.
Wed 07:40:57 │ 〖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.
Wed 07:41:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But the hospital almost certainly takes Medicare assignment, so I wouldn't have to argue with anyone.
Wed 07:41:47 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ These private companies save money by doing what's called Narrow Networks.
Wed 07:42:04 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ That means that most of the providers you can see in network are very close to the area the policy was sold in.
Wed 07:42:26 │ 〖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.
Wed 07:42:47 │ 〖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.
Wed 07:43:50 │ 〖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.
Wed 07:44:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But we still got him into surgery within 5 months of seeing the first specialist, which we did not need a referral for.
Wed 07:44:22 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So I was looking at your NHS hospitals.
Wed 07:44:28 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They print the wait times for operations.
Wed 07:44:46 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If Mandy needed the same surgery in the UK, he may have had to wait between 18 and 26 months.
Wed 07:46:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If this happened to me in the UK I wouldn't be in surgery three months later.
Wed 07:46:43 │ 〖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.
Wed 07:46:53 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Just from being on the wait list and in pain for five more years.
Wed 07:47:29 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Now sure, when they got around to it, there wouldn't be a bill. That's what the high taxes are for.
Wed 07:47:34 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ :)

Wed 22:08:43 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ At a certain point the bankruptcy law presumes that you have plenty of income and you're just an idiot.
Wed 22:09:00 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] mayube did
Wed 22:09:02 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They'll help you pay your bills by slowing things down and forgiving some of the interest, but you still gotta pay.
Wed 22:09:03 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] at some pont
Wed 22:09:08 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] people make wrong assumptions
Wed 22:09:14 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] and take loans based on this
Wed 22:09:19 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] assumption #1
Wed 22:09:24 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] i will always have a job like this
Wed 22:09:25 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] assumption #2
Wed 22:09:33 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] the pay will rise with inflation
Wed 22:09:35 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] assumption #3
Wed 22:09:47 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] i will move up the ladder and pay grade will increase
Wed 22:09:51 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR3], I'm just glad that I can deal with this surgery.
Wed 22:09:51 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] this is very syramid-like
Wed 22:09:56 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] assume endless growth
Wed 22:09:56 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ A lot of people are uninsured.
Wed 22:10:02 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] like asymptotic curves
Wed 22:10:06 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] maybe you get lucky
Wed 22:10:11 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] and keep at it for 40 years
Wed 22:10:18 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They couldn't do it because the hospital knows that they'll never get the huge sum of money and they don't work for free.
Wed 22:10:25 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] most like you re-fortmulate the loan
Wed 22:10:28 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] my firend took a mortgage
Wed 22:10:32 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] then he struggled
Wed 22:10:34 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] so they changes it
Wed 22:10:37 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] until you are 65
Wed 22:10:40 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If you have insurance they usually do it and "make arrangements" to stagger the remaining bills or charity care or something.
Wed 22:10:40 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] until you are 70...
Wed 22:10:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But they will not eat the full thing.
Wed 22:10:46 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] he was in his mid 50
Wed 22:10:49 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] or early 50s
Wed 22:10:57 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] so you just kick the can down the road
Wed 22:11:00 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] eventually he lost the home
Wed 22:11:03 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] and lost all his money
Wed 22:11:09 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They do a certain amount of free surgeries, but it comes out of a budget. Like, some rich people who feel guilty I guess, give the hospital some money for that.
Wed 22:11:21 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But there's always more people who need it than there is money in those funds.
Wed 22:11:42 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] you are talking about anorher topic
Wed 22:11:44 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] not loans
Wed 22:11:57 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] i was not talking about your operation
Wed 22:11:58 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Hospital debt is treated like a loan.
Wed 22:12:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It ends up on your credit if you don't work something out with them.
Wed 22:12:14 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] btw, the guy who sells me sacks of seeds for the birds has a major hip operation this month
Wed 22:12:25 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] we need to look for another source of seeds for now
Wed 22:12:49 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR3], If they don't work something out with you sometimes it's better to just give them nothing.
Wed 22:12:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ It'll end up at a debt collector.
Wed 22:13:10 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ You can negotiate a discounted settlement and a pay for delete.
Wed 22:13:23 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Get it off your credit at like 60%-70 of face value.
Wed 22:13:38 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ schestowitz[TR3], Mom has done this several times.
Wed 22:14:01 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Hospital wouldn't work with her to get paid in full, so she gave them nothing and worked out discounted settlements with whoever it got sold to.
Wed 22:14:10 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I asked her why, she said it was cheaper to do that.
Wed 22:14:11 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ :P
Wed 22:14:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ If you don't pay the hospital $5,000 eventually some scummy debt collector will take $3500.
Wed 22:15:12 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ They'll take it because they probably paid $2000.
Wed 22:15:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ So this is insanity, right? The hospital could have worked something out, instead they bypass you, lose more money, and then the debt collectors get rich.
Wed 22:15:55 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Everything in this country that involves debt is batshit insane.
Wed 22:16:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ <schestowitz[TR3]> btw, the guy who sells me sacks of seeds for the birds has a major hip operation this month
Wed 22:16:25 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ <schestowitz[TR3]> we need to look for another source of seeds for now
Wed 22:16:42 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Sometimes for the humeral head repair on the shoulder, they graft bone from the hip.
Wed 22:16:59 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ But in my case, they're going to graft cadaver bone. I suppose it's just as well.
Wed 22:17:17 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ This way I don't have them cutting into another part of my body and taking healthy bone there.
Wed 22:17:19 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] lots of people i know have health issues
Wed 22:17:24 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] lots of them
Wed 22:17:31 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] more than say.. 10 years ago
Wed 22:17:45 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Well, you knew me ten years ago.
Wed 22:17:50 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/datasets/weeklyprovisionalfiguresondeathsregisteredinenglandandwales/2025
Wed 22:17:52 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ I was ten years younger.
Wed 22:18:09 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ The people around you tend to age with you and then they have more health issues.
Wed 22:18:10 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] not talking about age
Wed 22:18:12 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] in general
Wed 22:18:17 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] regardless of ages
Wed 22:18:20 │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 │ Even the younger ones?
Wed 22:18:50 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] before covid: 9,177
Wed 22:18:57 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] checking spreadsheers now
Wed 22:19:01 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] now it's over 10k

Wed 22:19:38 │ 〖schestowitz[TR3〗 │] now 10.4k
