"why does it cost so fucking much"
Isn't it because there are so many people's salaries and companies products/services involved with the "unnecessary" overhead? The last ten times I went to the doctors office/clinic there were 3 to 5 check-in receptionists all sitting behind nice new desks and computers with no one in line. How many people at the clinic are just trying to figure out insurance coverages and costs, and how many people at the insurance company review what's submitted, and how may people's job exists to "fight" the charges? Sadly, too many people rely on and depend upon expensive health care for putting food on their table. Until we come up with a plan (free training/education in other industries, sectors, and areas of need/demand?) people will cling to what they know and their JOBS. Look at accounting and tax reform. The complicated-ness of it is by design according to those that lobbied for and those that implemented it.
- jrs235 7y agoI don't want or need health insurance to cover routine health care/maintenance. My car insurance doesn't cover oil changes. I think we need to start with getting to affordable routine health CARE [checkups]. The fact that many family insurance plans cost $1000s a month in premiums and don't kick in until $10,000+ of deductible is spent first is ridiculous. People that have coverage still don't go to the doctor until they are very sick to avoid the high costs, this compounds things because the cost to deal with a minor respiratory issue is drastically less than when/if it turns into pneumonia.
