For the record, healthcare for all will possibly (high likely actually) put me out of my job.

But I'm not against it. I hate having to deny people help sometimes.

Kim's doctor yesterday vented a lifetime of frustration on us. It was like, "I keep people alive until they're expensive for healthcare providers..." - David Mar 4, 10:29 4
- Yeah even having insurance is a pain in the ass when the insurance company decides they don't want to cover something anymore. -- (edited) - sycor Mar 4, 10:32 3
  - On the flip side - what about when a payer decides "fuck you all" we want to pay less...so, either agree to it or we'll set you as "out of network."nm - Turd Ferguson Mar 4, 10:41 2
    - Sorry my post above was meant to complain about insurance companies. Edited for some clarify. I have no problem with my doctor. -- nm - sycor Mar 4, 10:44 1
      - Ahhhh...ok. I thought it was a really weird post the way I read it. :) -- nm - Turd Ferguson Mar 4, 10:57
what about supplemental insurance? -- nm - rollo Mar 4, 10:28 1

Yeah, any kind of full public healthcare is going to take out all or most of the health insurance industry -- (edited) - ty97 Mar 4, 10:21 6
- I would expect a significant portion of the workforce would transition instead to federal jobs, but yeah, not everyone. -- nm - znufrii Mar 4, 10:25 4
  - Exactly - it's not like we go to Medicare for All and it wipes out all the people who work in the industry. nm - Turd Ferguson Mar 4, 10:36 3
    - It would reduce fairly meaningfully. Insurance brokers, claims determinations would presumably be much more limited, etc. - pmb Mar 4, 11:01 2
      - Probably so - but you also have to factor in that there will be even more focus on waste and proper billing. - Turd Ferguson Mar 4, 11:08 1
        
        I think you have that backwards. Insurance companies profits depend on not paying for things they don't have to. If you think the government is - pmb Mar 4, 11:15
- Here Medicaid is actually a disability based program. We follow the same rules and guidelines that SSA use -- (edited) - sycor Mar 4, 10:25
Sorry this should have been down below. Oh well. -- nm - sycor Mar 4, 10:19
