People strike back at the "healthcare" industry

You and his uncle should spring him out … Here’s your chance to be a hero instead of the resident pest on T Nation

I know you keep harping on this, but the point is they are so intertwined that it’s a meaningless distinction anymore.

Also I did not read the article because it’s from castoli, so I assume it’s garbage.

Seed of Castoli

It’s not, though. And Castoli is being deliberately retarded about understanding the bigger picture, and where the cost of healthcare is generated.

God forbid that orbiter reproduces

Hey Njord if I recall correctly, you work in insurance right?

It kind of is.

While United Healthcare itself doesn’t directly own hospitals, it is part of the United Health Group which does own a significant number of physician practices, surgery centers, and pharmacies through Optum, essentially allowing them to have influence over doctors, hospitals, and pharmacies within their network.

If you can’t figure out that insurance is part of healthcare then you have major mind deficiencies.

And what potential solutions do YOU recommend? Take your time, I will wait for your sophomoronic answers.

@castoli1971 shut up, you’re hurting your own cause.

Second off, are you an old Italian, or a young basement-dwelling currency trader?

And most importantly, do you even lift bro?

And Njord is being disingenuous AND retarded trying to pretend that every other industrialized country doesn’t pay about half of what we do and they all have one form or another of single-payer then denying single-payer works to lower costs, while covering everyone.

And this is germane to the topic, how?

If true, I wonder how many claims he has denied? Or maybe he works in a different area in this bullshit industry, and he is afraid if people are presented with the information on single-payer he will lose his job.

I might disagree with some people, or bullshit with others, but I respect all of them for backing up what they say with proof.

You just sound like that guy who hits on girls and they ask you ā€œDo you have a friend who knows a good gym?ā€

Someone who is probably lying by saying she was a former employee of UHC.

UnitedHealthcare taught us ways to deny claims: Former employee | NewsNation Prime

He’s a Green Beret or SEAL. I forgot which.

Other countries also have muuuuch higher tax rates

Nah bro. Thats me. I’ve actually classed up to space ninja since then.

This has already been addressed within this very thread with cited sources demonstrating relative out of pocket costs are higher in industrialized, socialized health systems than they are here.

An interesting caveat, also discussed, is that total cost is higher in the USA, and it’s because healthcare costs which are covered by insurance are so much higher that even though socialized countries do demonstrably pay more per, our lower percentage is still overwhelmed by the cost of care itself.

A few moving parts to consider together and you’ll need a working understanding of ratios to comprehend as well so it might be a moot point but go read. For like the 100th time.
