“Pay for small injuries and the insurance pays for large medical problems.”
That is exactly how it should be. Homeowner’s insurance, by comparison, is not supposed to be to pay for fixing the toilet, but in case a tornado blows the house away or a fire destroys it. Same with healthcare insurance: It should cover catastrophic, unforeseeable events, like accidents or ailments. It should be much cheaper that way.

It makes so much more sense. Kind of like how you don’t fail a claim with your auto insurance company when you need an oil change. If oil changes were handled like our health plans, they’d probably cost $250 and our policies would skyrocket.

I like his concept of health insurance.

Did you know an MD in Russia earns less than a garbage man! So welcome to socialism/communism and don’t be upset if you take a pay cut. I am seure you won’t mind since you are driven by helping people and not monetary rewards.

Oh, right, comokate, because health insurance companies were all non-profit before the “takeover”, right? Please, you clearly have no clue why health insurance has gotten so expensive despite your alleged experience in the industry. Peter even tried explaining a bit of it to you but you evidently refused to listen. Too bad.

Bottom Line: Youtube battles are for squares. 50% of the people you interact with online are condescending pricks(and who cares if ur a MD, act like a prick, get treated like one). Everyone knows corporations are greedy to some extent or another, thats why they are “for-profit companies”.
Insurance in this country is fucked. As is the election process across the board, you got money, and important friends? you got a campaign, go out and become politician and exploit the flawed system we have.

1) What you non-MD peons fail to understand is that no matter what you say, I will always be right in my assertions, and nothing you can do will dissprove me!
2) You are clearly clueless your Youtube debate skill is far surpassed by my keen eye for hipocrisy, and powerful typing finger!
3) Hah, you are all retarded and clearly have no understanding of health care because of the sheer incompitence of your remarks, they are like a 2 dimensional object, they hold NO water.
4) Mwauahahahahahahaha

Insurance companies hike up fees because they are looking our for the profit margins of their stock-holders. There are panels of people that make fat bonuses finding ways to deny coverage…and THAT is a fact . Private hospitals hike fees because they too answer investors who are looking to make money, not to heal people. That’s why gastric by-pass surgery is becoming more and more common; it’s a risky surgery being pushed by the board of directors because it is so lucrative.

1) As usual, since you are not in health care and do not have any facts to back up your mythology, you have stated a falsehood. U.S. employers are NOT forced by regulation to provide insurance for their employees !! This is completely false and such an outrageous lie would be laughable except that You have an active imagination. Some states are trying to do this, but there is no across the board “US Regulation” to do so.

We will never have enough food, water, energy or health care until we redesign our world to look at ALL people’s needs over a FEW people’s profits.
The government is NOT the answer either. All governments are bought and paid for by the international bankers and corporations.
We need to look at the ROOT CAUSE of all these problems and that is the monetary system. Without money the only question is do we have the resources and technology to create an abundance of life’s necessities, YES WE DO

actually you have no idea what you’re talking about. the healthcare is expensive in the US because regulation forces employers to get insurance, which makes insurance companies hike up prices since they have a guaranteed pool of people to insure and hospitals hike up prices because they have guaranteed insured consumers. by the way, the US medical system rates #1 in speediness, satisfaction and other shit. also the lowest mortality rate on all major surgeries.

Coyote you need to be a bit more concise with your vehement exclamations, taking up a whole page. Alright your a md for 3 decades, this is still the internet, compose all the detailed explanations you want about whatever topic you so desire, however people are still going to say/think whatever they want, Im sure your familiar with cognitive dissonance.

Okay I believe you, that’s what I get for going with my gut.
But you know some people aren’t who they pretend to be on here. Can’t be to careful, I mean. Next time I’ll keep my right hand on my mouse clicking onto the next video, and my left hand in a bag of my favorite potato chips. Mmmmm….

If you think it’s cheap get a quote for someone over 40, then add a spouse and kids to the tally. ( Oh and by the way it’s “catastrophic” not “catastrophe”. When private, for profit companies got into the medical field, as was advocated by President Richard Nixon, health care became a commodity “fir profit”. *That’s* what made the increases in health care go so high. It’s unfortunate people believe the dangerous mythology spread by people who have little knowledge of what they discuss.

Oh really? I’ve been a licensed provider for 27 years. My “interests” are in providing care for all Americans; I’ve done volunteer work in community health clinics because I actually care about other people. I’ll be 50 in less than 6 months and I’ve seen health care get taken over by corporations for profit; it did not used to be this way. I have a degree in the field in which I practice and am licensed in my state to deliver health care. What are YOUR qualifications to judge me?

For one, it isn’t “Mr.” and don’t lecture me on knowing what goes on in health care since I have been treating patients for 27 years of my life. Wanting decent health care for all US citizens isn’t being an “American basher”, so maybe you really need to get *your* facts straight before bashing an American health care provider. I work within the tangle of health care insurance every day, do you? You have NO IDEA what you are talking about.

Did you not hear the mention of catastrophe insurance with a high deductible?
Its cheap and even poor people can afford it.
If its a knee injury you make a payment for a while
but its YOUR KNEE. Much less than a car payment but MUCH MORE important. PAY YOUR OWN WAY. Government/Politicians are already distorting insurance by taking kickbacks. Get rid of the government and your flourish.

What is Schiff thinking about? He has access to international statistics. The US has one of the WORST health care systems in the western world. Also the US has the most expencive one. All other western countries has a “socialized” health care system. Explain that and stop talking rubbish!!!

What if a person, who happened to be too poor or too stupid to get a health insurance, was subjected by a hit and run? Should he/she be left there to die in the street? What crazy, evil idiots would even want such a system?

I’m 40 and when i was a kid we(single mom 2 kids) had no health insurance. We didn’t run to the doctor for colds, ear aches, snuffy noses and all that crap. But when we did have to go my mom paid or set up payments and was able to make them. Completion kept the prices low because people only had major medical.

Agreed. we need a fair balance. Government to be sure that the providers do what they say will do and free market to allow for competition to keep rates low and affordable for all Americans.
