Americans are suffering from crippling medical debt in a uniquely American epidemic that affects 20% of the population and has accumulated roughly $81 billion in debt. These numbers are expected to increase alongside rising uninsured rates and growing popularity of cheap, bare-bones health plans. For some, the result can be life threatening. Fear of debt can discourage patients from seeking medical attention while existing debt can negatively impact healthy lifestyle choices, exacerbating medical conditions and leading to more debt.

Study: Almost half of new cancer patients lose their entire life savings

Even if you have insurance, it may not cover all the medical costs associated with cancer. From high deductibles to large copayments, cancer patients can end up with a huge stack of bills.

In addition, 40% to 85% of all cancer patients have to quit working while undergoing treatment, which creates a financial burden that can last for six months or longer.

Reading comprehension pwned? The catastrophic insurance that would be affordable yet still prevent cancer from bankrupting you is now illegal because every plan has to offer a broad suite of services you may or may not want. The entire health insurance disaster is owned by the Democrats, who passed Obamacare on a partyline vote with zero republican input.

Oh if only the insurance companies were still allowed to bankrupt people faster by excluding pre-existing conditions!!!!

The tiny violins you pretend NEET fags love to play for catastrophic care plans is the most autistic politics take this bort has ever produced. It literally convinces zero people, which is why the Dems ran on protecting and expanding universal coverage in 2018 and destroyed the GOP in the house despite pinpoint digitized gerrymandering by the GOP in 30+ of the 40 seats the Dems picked up. Just FYI, the fact that this argument is completely unconvincing is the reason why you never see it made in real life other than the 12th paragraph of some autistic Reason Op-Ed or some ghostwritten megacucky National Review article that just transcribes the latest talking points the Heritage Foundation shit out.

If you fags actually want to do something about immigration you will have to acknowledge that corporations uber alles economics and GC tax cuts are going to drive the voters you need directly into the arms of the Dems. The longer you persist in trying to pretend that 2004 policies are what’s needed in 2020 the greater the chance of white genocide in the US.

That's not what this article is about. Before Obama and the democrats passed healthcare reform on a party line vote with zero republican input, there were catastrophic insurance plans that would prevent exactly the sort of problem being discussed in this article.

Now not only are those plans illegal, but Obamacare didn't even make the care it purported to provide cheaper. It was just a vast giveaway to health insurance companies. Obama and the Democrats spent a year creating a policy that made the country worse for everybody. The adults in the room might be able to fix this but, unfortunately, it's only a matter of time before democrats get to pass laws again and there's a strong chance they'll find another way to shit the bed. They're already doubling down on medicare for all as if they didn't just fuck up the health insurance system this decade ljl.

This is a blatantly false claim. Both my kids would have hit their lifetime caps by their third week in the hospital (I.e. their third week of life) if I had the dogshit $2000/month premium plan (bc it covered pregnancy) that I decided not to purchase in 2009 when I was at my “boutique” (shitlaw) firm after ITE. Fortunately I got a new job in 2010.

You need to grapple with the fact that “wah wah my premium was much lower for a shit plan that would leave me assraped if I actually got sick” is just not convincing to anyone anywhere. This is why Obamacare is now popular and a position Dems today loudly boast about, despite years of demonization by the GOP and Fox News and the fact that many aspects of Obamacare are stupid and shitty. It’s not that Obamacare is actually good. It’s that there’s no place to go to the right of it that makes any logical sense.

Now I know you're flaming, and possibly an inhouse bro at a health insurance co protecting your profit margins. Yes, policies with lifetime caps existed pre-Obamacare. But you could also get ones without such limits. It'

Before Obamacare destroyed the healthcare industry, you could buy products, A, B, and C. It sounds like you wanted A. Obamacare made B and C illegal. That's great for you (or the flame persona you're inventing to protect health insurance profits), but really shitty for those of us who B and C would be a better choice.

and ljl at trying to disown Obamacare. Democrats could have passed any policy they wanted, because they did it on a party line vote with no GOP input. They own the disaster they created. They're already running away from it by saying that we should do medicare for all instead, IMPLICITLY ADMITTING that their policy from less than a decade ago is a disaster.

Democrats destroyed the healthcare system. Unless you work for a health insurance company or are a medical biller, you should be furious at them.

Agree completely, I think one of the biggest problems in this country is the propensity of GC addicted consumers to spend every last dollar they make. When an unexpected bill comes due, they don't have the money to pay it which creates a snowball effect of problems that frequently ends in addiction, divorce, and even suicide.

No surprise this gets little attention but further speaks to the menace that is GC and consumerism

A huge part of the problem is how they bill. Get cancer and then see how easy they make it to pay them when you’ve already hit your annual max, and then see how easy it is to get your money back after they trick you into paying too much. One of the badly underdiscussed reforms that should be bi-partisan is forcing insurers to standardize billing practices and pay penalties for overcharging (plus actual cost controls on doctors and hospitals).

you're correct, to clarify, the hospital pays for additional schooling such as nurse practitioner, masters, nurse phd, etc.. the nurse is on the hook for the bachelors but can get away with a state degree since its not a prestige obsessed profession.

the allconsuming materialism that infected America in the 20th century has led to an insane overinvestment in supposed "health" care, but it's just an irrational and desperate attempt to pretend that death is anything other than inevitable.

It's really a failure of education. Basic philosophy and eschatology needs to be taught to every school child in this country, every year, starting in Pre-K. It's far more important (on an individual level) than "math" or "science."
