Got charged $2,000+ for 10minutes in E.R. (Murica the great)

[Cfitz717]

But to be perfectly honest, I would rather have this FUKKED up health care system in the US than have to pay like 1 million for a house that I can get here for 50k. Or 50 bucks for a thing of protein I can get for 20. Everything in the US is beyond cheap.

[SkinCoffin]

WTF @ America's healthcare... I ended up in ER recently. Got an ambulance, all sorts of tests and drips and spent the night being monitored. Even got given breakfast before I was let out and it cost me nothing. Insurance covered the Ambulance and the rest was free.

STRAYA.

[copiusGains]

should have went to urgent care

what's the diff?

[ShreddedTea]

ok srs wtphuck is obamacare ?

[l2ambo]

Glad I live in Canada..

This.

[SycoDan]

Love how much rustling has occurred from this thread.


Hope your pee pee gets all better OP!

[RealOgre]

I love when you Canadians think you have free health care LOL.
You pay for it in so many other ways.
Taxes of peace.
Gas prices of peace.
Canada of peace.

lol pls go with your free health care bullchit.

I would actually choose higher gas prices and a better healthcare system

clearly u must disagree though, we all know fueling you poverty ricer is more important than your health

[juicybacon]

that's what you get you fkin capitalist. you dirty octopus. I kneel at the statue of stalin and promise to rid the world of these filthy capitalist pigs (notsrs)


edit: socialism of peace. if every individual's health in the whole country isn't worth the price of higher gas prices and higher taxes, then move to murica. come at me republicans lol. I think the life of every child is worth more than the biggest landowners property. come at me. already red for believing in some socialist ideals.

[copiusGains]

You said they gave you a shot of rocephin and pills. Antibiotics are definitely a treatment.

whoopdy doo, like I said they didn't do chit. 1shot/ 2pills, took 10min, they didn't even kno what was up

[nilekyle]

Glad I live in Canada..

this

it may not be the most efficient health care system, but if i were to accidentally tear a ligament or break a bone the last thing I want on my mind is "how am I going to pay for this"

[GottaWork4It]

i wouldn't. the canadian healthcare system is good for people with no insurance but if you have good insurance its not a big deal in the states.

canadians pay way more in taxes than the usa.

[RealOgre]

This.

I feel there is nothing at all beneficial to living in america

the "we're number 1" comments seem to come from the patriotically insecure, akin to a dirty pof whore telling u how important moral values are. Unless you're in cali, new york or texas u are pretty much have all of the chitty aspects of america with hardly any of the benefits

[Desi_guy]

lol pls go with your free health care bullchit.

Doesnt matter. We pay 13% tax and we could care less unlike you guys who get a heart attack when you get your medical bills. I would rather pay my health care in my taxes than going to the hospital for a 10 minute check up and ending up getting $2000 up in my ass. Dont be mad bro

Go up to 1k people and ask what country they would want to move to if they could. 99% would say America.

I wouldn't live in Canada if I was paid to visit the doctor.

U mad syrup suckers?

Of course they do and the standard of living in Canada is just about superior in Canada in about every aspect measureable by the development index

yeah of course life would be better if u can afford in insurance but why would I be proud of a society where only the rich benefit from the positives and the middle class is collapsing? I genuinely believe alot of the chitty policies your government enacts require pushing that "American Dream" facade into the heads of most of the idiots there.

BRB we're gonna become CEO10k a day so fukk those poor people scratching a living. They should have done a business degree like me so they too can walk into a 100k a year job even though my experience is lacking and I have hardly any marketable skills

[TheNumberChosen]

I'd rather have a socialized healthcare system than a government who spends 1.6 billion on a war on "terror."

Those opportunity costs that could have been spend in technology, medicine, and ending world hunger rather than, a war on "terror."

Japan has a better social health care system. Look how healthy their citizens. Compare Japan's life expectancy compared to the US. They have cheap and affordable healthcare and can afford regular visits to the doctor weekly.

You shouldn't have to pay and arm and a leg for emergency visits. There are more efficient ways to make healthcare affordable.

Taxes should be better spent elsewhere such as education, technology, medicine, and agriculture, not for wars. I believe humans have vast amounts of potential that isn't tapped into. Compare technology to the last few decades.

We could go above and beyond of what is possible today if our hearts and our minds were in the right place. Everything is done for money. We're not going to live forever, and we're all going to be eventually forgotten. What's the point of having wars and being materialistic if we're all going to die one day.

[devildogJMS]

I work in a Psychiatric Emergency Department...anyone care to guess what Emergency Psychiatric cost these days? And half the human trash that walks in here have no insurance so the hospital has to foot the bill and raise costs for the few people who have insurance...it's such a messed up system...working in healthcare makes me rage....srs

[RealOgre]

Of course they would. Why wouldnt they? Considering they have the most powerful media machine on the planet. An unparalleled propoganda tool doling out fear, bullchit and grandiose expectations to the ignorant masses

Hell, when I was kid I didnt even believe obesity existed in the states until I saw it on the news. Those nickelodeon shows and movies did a damn fine job of convincing me everyone in america is hawt and life is perpetually awesome

[StillFat53]

lol op thinks other countries are magical lands with free health care where doctors/nurses/surgeons work for free & everyone is treated immediately & pays nothing. wake upto yourself.

We have public healthcare brah, the doctors are not as good as the private system but it's better than massive debt or no medical attention. That's the way it should be too. Over people seeking to marginalise the most downtrodden in life and try to make their situation worse.

WTF @ America's healthcare...

Best in the world if you have good insurance.

[Cfitz717]

Life is perpetually awesome in America, its America.

Is your only reason for not wanting to live here the healthcare? What else is bad? Is everything being cheap as **** bad? Having bigger houses and yards for 10x cheaper than anywhere else bad? Best cities and food in the world bad? Best attractions bad? Most talented celebs, athletes, and scholars bad? What else is bad? Lmao, you're 22, you probably won't need any surgeries for some time now.

[oldstock]

whoopdy doo, like I said they didn't do chit. 1shot/ 2pills, took 10min, they didn't even kno what was up

Urinalysis is pretty fukkin complex brah: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urinalysis

It's not like they just hold the cup up to the light, lol. There's a lot of expensive machines and very educated people behind the scenes.

[digitalchi]

what happens if you just never pay? srs

kinda nothing...you can just give them like a dollar a month

[RealOgre]

Best in the world if you have good insurance.

Yeah except it isnt and it never has been

whats your reasoning? That u need to pay for it to be good

by that logic....I am ranked the best basketball player ever provided I am the only one on the list

[2Rude4MyOwnGood]

I'm not seeing the problem here. It only cost you $300, that's nothing dude. Healthcare isn't free here, but it's fairly cheap if you have insurance.
