[QUOTE="klein, post: 608628, member: 23950"] My mom lives in a small town of 2400 people. 2 and a half hours outside the city. She is 74 years old. Last year, she fell of her doorsteps. Ambulance took her to the town hospital, but they discovered she needed a hip surgery, that was to complicated for this little town to do. So, after a day or 2 (xrays, and getting her ready for transport). She was ambulanced all they way to the city. Got her surgery done, recovered here for a week, then was ambulanced back all the way to the town hospital for further recovery. Cost was ZERO, and she was well taken care of. She has fully recovered, and walks as if nothing has ever happened to her. Your dad lives in Massachusettes. You forgot to mention that. One of the very rare states, that insurance companies must obey state laws, and accept anyone. Regardless of pre conditions. And why do you support insurance companies, you have shares in them ? For every dollar you give them 20-24% goes on admistrative costs, and pay thier CEO's millions in bonuses. Plus ofcourse, they want some profit. So, 70cents is all what they'll pay out. Then you got profit takers all the way down the line,as well. Also every medical office having extra staff, just to deal with the insurance paperwork. When everything is done, all profits and admistrative costs are taken. Maybe 25 cents are left on the dollar for the actual price of care. When you shop for a charity, which one do you chose ? For profit, or non per profit ? Which one would you shop at ? A goverment doesn't decide who gets care or not, it's the Doctor ! No questions asked. Unlike Insurance companies. [/QUOTE]
