Rebuttal on paragraphs:
1) SSDI is determined by a medical doctor. The patient has the decision to apply, but after that it's a judgement call by "professionals". I used quotes because the system is severely flawed. Getting a dissability lawyer involved early is prudent planning. It shouldn't be this way, but the system is severely flawed.
2) Just rambling?
3) agree
4) not totally free. Agree "lots of providers won't let you in the door."
5) I belive you get Medicare after two years on SSDI? The people I knew who were on dissability were all relied on state medical benefits. In California, they relied on Medi-Cal. Most doctors won't accept medi-cal. Sure, they got free hospital visits. Depending on where you live, a hospital might be your only recourse. Yes it's free, but it minimal quality of help. Many drugs are not on an approved Formuliary. They purposely make getting benefits very difficult. Going to a hospital should be the last resort? The system forces some people into going to the emergency room. Still not fixed, even after Obamacare?
I don't know. Let me ask you something? Why would you pay a hospital bill you have absolutely no control over? I see some noble people trying to pay off their padded hospital bills, and I don't get it. I would understand it if their wasn't collective bargaining, and some standard way of computing hospital costs. Right now they can charge you whatever. My father was given a gift basket by the hospital staff. Months later he looked at the bill. That gift basket was $300.00. He refused to pay even his 10% of the adjusted bill. (Had great Union insurance.)
If someone qualifies for free medical care; why do you care? Our medical system is not a free market entity. We like to think it is, but it's a closed system.
My congrats to any collective barging entity(like Medicare, and many private party insurance companies) that keeps prices down for its members. Actually, they just refuse to pay the bill on many cases because they can.
Obamacare gave us a few rights. They look like they will be history though?
