Is America's healthcare system working?

[@DonaldPeterson-mj2bd]

Healthcare is for profit in this Country and Corporate America pays Lobbyists millions to keep it that way.

Exactly it's pure fraud plain and simple and here these stooges defend it. Sorry excuse for journalism.

[@geneclarke2205]

In 2023, the pharmaceuticals and health products industry in the US spent the most on lobbying efforts, totaling to about 379 million U.S. dollars. In the same year, the insurance industry spent about 157 million U.S. dollars on lobbying. IMO, the vast majority of this money was not spent to improve patient care but was targeted at increasing profits and reducing competition.

It's always nice to connect with a fellow Buckeye! Your retirement comfort will largely depend on the lifestyle you plan to live.

[@WestonStruzzi]

Money management might be a good idea just to be on the safe side. You’re 55, and while the U.S. average life expectancy is 77.5 years, many people live well into their 80s. That $500k will need to last you through that, plus any unexpected expenses. It’s a great starting point though-well done!

Next ask yourself if people should be able ot PROFIT from someone who just needs a place to live, and we are starting to form a coherent thought

[@Annie-t7m9w]

Insurance providers should no be profiting off health. Insurance proveders need to cover what a persons doctar says is necessary. We all know its expensive to have any treatment and we need insurance. But Government shouldn't pay it cause all that means is our taxes will go up. Insurance needs to be reasonable in cost. I for one do not want my Government paying for my needs cause all that means is bigger Government. Nobody wants big Government in our personal lives. But if you do then dont complain when they tell you what you should do in order to stay healthy.

I have noticed throughout the years, that medical staff, true, boots on the ground, medical staff are never consulted on these "major issues". The insight would be invaluable of common, everday waste from EMS not being paid r/t abuse of the system to unavailability of transport for critical patients to ER's over run with non emergent visits which take time away from those true emergencies. Understaffing, overworked physicians and nurses being subjected to violence daily and the never ending denials of insurance claims of those actually working. We work sick, no lunches...on 12 hour shifts without medications we need.. due to denial by insurance. It has been, for years a crushing environment with secrets. You keep them or be fired and not feed your family. CEO's? Do you really believe law makers and CEO's and all your other "sources" care about what's really going on?...Please...

I am from Wisconsin, and I still live there. I've been to a lot of Wisconsin's hospitals for doctor's appointments, and they actually don't make you pay. So you basically do your doctor's appointment as normal, and then once your done, you just leave without even paying. Even if I get medicine from the pharmacy, you usually don't pay. How it works is you basically tell your first and last name and your date of birth, and it takes a few minutes to get your medicine. I'll just stick to Wisconsin's health care for now
