To end my medical debt crisis, I had to declare bankruptcy. There was NO way I could pay the $540,000 hospital bill when my youngest was born 2 months premature. This bill was after insurance covered 80%.

@@AConquerorsVendetta my favorite are the people who don't understand how insurance works so they insist that I am lying because "insurance covers everything after your deductible." No. No it does not. There is a cap and people who reach that cap unexpectedly get to feel the full force of what that means.

You might not believe this, but KZbin's censorship policy is part of the problem. If I decided to respond to one of the biggest issues regarding the health crisis, my post will be ghosted. But like I’ve said many times before, people love voting for free without demanding tangible benefits. Back in the seventies, this wasn’t the case.

Can we not call patients in need of health care "consumers" anymore? Health care should be a right, not for profit. Just like we wouldnt call disabled people "disabled rights consumers", neither should anyone exercising rheir rights ever be referred to as "consumers" of their rights.

The solution is well known, Affordable comprehensive universal healthcare like that of more than 30 countries. The private healthcare monopoly pays the Congress to hold these Blah Blah sessions to delay and avoid talking about the solution

We need single payer healthcare, like European countries. In the USA, the entire medical industry makes a profit when you're sick and need medical attention, so our food, medicine, anything we consume is made to keep us sick. Whereas in European society the medical system loses money when you're sick, so everything they eat and consume is geared for health and a healthy lifestyle is promoted and rewarded. Their system only saves money when their citizens are healthy. I had to see an ENT for hearing aid fitting, the ENT looked in my ears, said I needed another hearing test, billed Medicare $675 and was paid $515 fir just looking in my ears, I had to have 2 more appts for that hearing aid fitting. My last hearing test was 4 weeks before, the ENT demanded another one. Now they turned me over to collections saying I owe an additional $118.

That 340b program absolutely contributes to medical debt. Allowing hospitals to charge exorbitant charges for medications that they get at a discount simply pushes debt onto patients.

My husband died recently. I lost him and his income. I ended up having three major surgeries and hospitalized 3 times, December to May. My bills are now coming in. I am scared. I did nothing wrong. I just lost medical coverage because I was on my husband's plan. Trying to figure this out. I need a plan I can afford going forward, and I have to figure out how to pay off all the copays. The bills are phenomenal. I am trying....I am back at work but I don't make enough to cover it all.

I am currently being called multiple times a day every day, even weekends, over the hospital bills i got from child birth. This is why i was strongly considering just giving birth at home without pain management or a doctor nearby to help. Now i don't know what to do. I mean, I'm a sahm with no money, no car, no job etc. If they sue me, what would they even be sueing for? I have nothing. Surely they must know this. Why are they harassing the poorest people in the country?

I have United Healthcare care as i have not for 10 years. I went through cancer which they did not want to pay for. Onky The Hospital told them they would suing them for muder if they did not. Well they paid, now from chemo radiation it messed up my right shoulder tearing the muscles. Went out if town to a specialist who was in their coverage. Only the day of my appointment I was told that untied Healthcare took them out. Surgeons said they do it all the time. They scheduled me for surgery on the 23rd of this month. They told me they would call Insurance and if they would not cover. They would find a specialist they trust that is covered. Only there's no way to say they will be tye day of surgery. I can not move my right arm, if I could afford the $50,000 for the surgery I would pay. Yet i xan not and should not have to. I have no credit after going through cancer because they reprted over $100,000 stating i owed.

Dr. Bai is right on point on what needs to be done to start fixing the system that's producing this problem. This is a Congressional Policy Failure Matter. Policies in favor of Insurance and Big Pharma. But what strikes me most of all about this Lip Service Hearing are the empty seats on the Senator side of this chamber. There are more witnesses than there are Senators here. That should give us a clue as to where Congress' priorities lay.

Instead of defunding the police what should have been done was a massive defunding of all levels of the judicial department. They are fat with greed. The USA is going from being the most tyrannical country which imprisons more citizens than any other country; despite its wealth suggesting those monies are the root cause of evil here. We are a military and prison industrial complex which has excessive costs to be cut right at the military & justice departments. Per the National Institute of Corrections there are 10.35 million people incarcerated worldwide of which we incarcerate the most of any country with 2.2 million and we are no where close to being the largest country. For additional reference: China has the largest population of people but statistically has a higher freedom rating due to their low percentage of population to imprisonment rates. We have again 2.2M incarcerated out of 335.9M population VS China population of 1.425 BILLION with only 1.6M incarcerated. That only happens if the system is corrupt. You can’t tell me Americans are just that messed up - this is suffrage at astronomical levels - more so when looking at the demographics of those in jail. Look at Florida for example where the government imprisons many people suffering from mental health disabilities and it fails to provide adequate health care coverage to them. They imprison those in Florida the populations deems mentally inadequate and it’s a sick practice occurring across USA.

To add, The financial issues of the public is pushing families to turn away from helping others during this inflation crisis; which is why so many turn to homelessness. America’s corporations have built a competitive market which only favors a rich few and pushing more into poverty. Besides healthcare, there is housing issues with AirBnB and tax dodgers on the corporate side causing average American to compensate for more families being broken apart thus qualifying for more programs paid by tax payers. Until Citizens United is overturned and bribery made illegal (with lobbyists beheaded - preferably) we will continue to see money pervert family values by driving them apart further due to financial stress.

Tell me what the employee count is vs what is actually needed. Tell me what everyone is (NOT) getting paid. Tell me how the level of employment from the ground up is actually being met. As s result, not just in terms of wualitydo to having to many needs to meet for the staff from the ground up, but their skills per their tasks vs their actual positions. Nice try Dr Bull$hitter. How you live with yourself is completely and utterly beyond me.
