If everyone was billed at what Medicare/insurance networks allow we likely could go to a system of mandatory medical savings with contribution from both worker/employer. I recently had three routine blood tests, clinic billed $125, Medicare allowed $30. Couple of years ago had an emergency appendectomy hospital billed $65k, Medicare allowed $8k. Insurance companies make $$$ on the premiums, that the average citizens could save/invest the premium and pay direct.

Meeting the bills is hard. Getting in to see a doc is even harder.

This isn’t even in the slightest funny…we could have universal medical coverage in the States …but the Republicans want us sick and in poverty.

C’mon, Frank. Everyone knows that you don’t deserve to receive health care unless you can pay for it.
