Yep - but liberals in all their socialistic stupidity added government
to solve a problem that was already solved.

Yeah, prices for a home visit by the doctor were a little more than
the $10 office visit.

I'm glad to see that you pay taxes. Heretofore I doubted your ability
to earn income other than the military.
The government being in charge adds considerable to the cost - they
have to hire a slew of employees to take care of the paperwork and
their wages have to be paid. I get a bill after Medicare but before
Tricare. Then I get a zero bill after Tricare pays. That's salary,
computer and paper plus postage. Like I didn't know the answer before
them.
I had a doctor visit last week. I always present a computer listing of
personal data, medicine/dosage/prescriber, doctors names and info,
surgeries, diagnoses and innoculations to the nurse. Then the APRN
asked about what surgeries I had. I have difficulty comprehending how
dumb some people are nowadays.
Seems like everyone take all the medical cards for doctor visits. I
scanned my cards and take the printout - so I don't have to put all
the cards in my very thin billfold. Can't anyone else train those
people?
>Since you're on socialized medicine you don't care.
I care that liberals were so stupid as to replace affordable corporate
retiree insurance with costly socialist policy. Because Medicare and
Social Security are stupid I'll drain them for all I can. Stupid
liberals were put here to be taken advantage of, not ignored.

What is the alternative to dying? And I griped because the new
hospital was built 12 minutes away vice 5 minutes.

The first response is that socialism is NEVER a good thing.
I know at least one person on Medicaid who pays nothing so there are
probably others. Your position has no basis. I know one family that
works, must pay for health care insurance and can't afford all the
necessities because there is not enough money left.
I know several people who accept only cash for services to avoid taxes
and receive subsidies. But they do good work and are less expensive.
Our starting points are different. You believe the government is
essential to taking care of incompetent people. I was alive when
government was not required for that.
The result of your position has been an exponential growth in the
number of incompetents and the min wage people required to serve them.
And you appear to think that is a good thing.
