I'll be blunt, the sort of docs that are doing that are the worst sort. The rates are not low.


Do you have your own practice now, Doctor Ken?



I pay 20% of those bills. I know precisely how much those doctors get. If you think it's low you're welcome to take my bills off my hands.


(He's lying again).



You mean you don't believe that the doctors are sharing their pay stubs with DK. That is just shocking. I am sure they not only tell him how much money they make, they also show him their stock portfolios and ask advice. And as far as him having to pay out the ass for decent care, well he is under the CMS umbrella so that doesn't surprise me a bit. It's just a shame he blames the insurance companies and can't see it's his own government that is screwing him over.

So, you're not a Doctor. What kind of costs do those 80%'s have to cover, Ken?

Were taxes increased when they initially started the public care in Italy? Most of what has been discussed on these boards has been the NIH, and that is a separate category.

You probably know there is no way to answer this question, and it is also a nonsense because everything has to be compared in costs vs benefits.
Aniway... I suppose when in 1934 a mandatory insurance system (different from the ACA as the contributions were proportional to the income) was introduced it was a new expense but when in the 1978 the system was nationalized costs decreased.


Can you show proof of costs decreasing? Please?

And, what costs decreased? Did cost of individual treatments and services decrease, or just the aggregate amount of money spent?

You are now paying for a private insurance what's the difference for you in paying a tax? is it just a matter of principle?


The difference is I can choose not to purchase insurance if I don't want to, without losing my personal freedom. Not really the case with taxes. And, I can also tailor my insurance to my needs.

The same costs as my 20%. Why do you think there is any difference? Do you think my checks go some place different?

I can give this proof: in the 1977 the national insurnce entities were broken and since the national health service was created the people didn't boke.

When the "proof" is provided it never includes the tax money spent so it is always apples and gravel.

Right. So, your 20% and Medicare's 80% covers what costs, then?

I don't understand what you wrote here.

Certainly. But, I do know that I'm not going to have any more babies, so there is no need for me to spend money to cover that. I'm also highly unlikely to require birth control (being a single male, odds are high that I'll be able to get by without them), etc. If I present a lower risk to an insurance company, why should I have to subsidize people with higher risks?

(He's lying again).

Would you like to start paying my share? I'm getting pretty sick of them myself.

Before you do, every dialysis treatment is $50 (just my share) 3 x week. plus weekly doctors visit with the nephrologist that's another $75 plus my meds (roughly $200 a month until September when part D catastrophic kicks in) plus I see my PCP every quarter (another $25).

Luckily I made a good living so my SSD, my disability insurance plus my savings lets me pay that and still cover the rent. Most people on dialysis are on both Medicare and Medicaid.


His lips were moving....more proof he was lying.

How much would you allow a doctor to earn... er, steal from your comrades


One has to wonder how a $12 an hour broom pusher is in favor of doctors making more money so that his $12 an hour will buy less.

You mean you never run out of other peoples money.
Or do you mean that tax money doesn't count?


What it means is that you think everyone is a fucking moron. Everyone is quite aware that it is tax money. Did you think you were so fucking smart and everyone else so stupid that no one knew that?
Compare that part of your taxes that go to pay for medical and contrast that with what you are paying now in premiums. Now unless you are one of those who had no insurance you would be paying less.

Why the fuck we running costs? Cost are going to be more here, because you have insurance companies that have to grab their pie.

Perhaps because that is exactly how insurance works. For you to act like you do not know that just shows how disingenuous your post are.

Either that, or to set up a way for individual rights are protected. Since the latter is the reason we declared our independence from England (*From the Declaration of Independence: "That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed"), it would seem that "pursuing the public interest" isn't really the reason for government.


We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
