The problem is those people who don’t qualify for Medicaid just don’t pay - same thing with the citizens - many qualify but don’t apply and when they go to the hospital they just don’t pay


Easy solution…have the state take their baby away from them until they can pay.

I hate to tell you, but that might just be the hospital’s portion. You might get additional random bills from the OB/GYN and Anesthesiologist too.

$10k for me with insurance, at a Catholic hospital, with zero complications. And the bills trickled in for almost a year. 2015. It was a learning experience. If I ever accidentally have another, I will handle that process with more wisdom. I won't just blindly pay shite anymore.

Because Medicaid pays what they want with the state pointing a gun at the hospital.

This is the part where I point out that we're already covering all of these costs and it would be exponentially easier to move to a Medicare for all model.

How does Medicare for all fix this?

well then why doesn’t private insurance fight for cheaper prices for their customers?

Hospital just called to tell us our bill to have our first child will be $4,200 out of pocket after insurance. The average American has less than $5,000 in savings. We can only assume Louisiana is below this average. So I have private insurance, get hammered by federal tax income, work over 40 hours a week to provide for my family, and have to pay $4,200 cash to have a child, but someone with Medicaid pays $0 and has the government front the bill?

Wait until OP finds out about nursing homes, and who pays for it and who doesn’t, and how ridiculously expensive it is.

Just be glad that they actually told you the cost upfront


And they will still find a way to increase that amount and nickel and dime the OP into paying more and slipping in some other bills and possibly miscoding some line items and getting hit with an out of network charge or two and say that wasn’t in the estimate.

And don’t forget if it’s a boy, the circumcision may not be covered with insurance.

Luckily most doctors will do it for few hundred. If you wait till he is older it is a few grand.

You're baiting lefties with a false premise.

Oh, no ambulance will pick up an illegal dying of a stroke because angry taxpayers. horseshite. Everyone gets treated with immediate lifesaving care. Not one EMT responding to a car crash checks the financials of a patient. Breathing, bleeding, breaks, and burns. (The order may have changed). No part of that is finding what the credit limit is on your Visa.

Cutting off dicks, fixing a finger you broke while roofing is not our (the government's) problem.
