The seemingly monster size discrepancy between for example "Blue Cross Blue Shield" insurance and "medicaid" and the ever huge medical costs as we understand now and the perception a near even across the board universal health care system is seamless in its reality, together or entirely different, really how it's perception is seen publicly.
With virtually zero prescrption coverage from any governent or private paid insurance company used by millions, the company Good RX for example dramatically lowers the price of prescriptions without insurance almost to pennies on the dollar in most cases.
Not seen on Cape Cod that I'm aware of is the 2010 Fort Worth systems approach to prescription cost, charge and payment. For five dollars freely given by the hospital to me, I without seeing the $5 received a filled prescription from the hosptial pharmacy and that pharmacy i restate is from the same building as the financial office who in my humble opinion was wasting time and effort for calling it paying for medicine when the same hospital merely shifted money, not payment at all.
A on the average $3 prescription for medicaid patients, $10 for Common Health care, state sponsored step up but a arm of medicaid for those who earn over the poverty line but unable to get private insurance. My 80 year young best friend pays in full for Blue Cross but also pays after the "donut hole" an additional $350 for insulin. Until Trump did dramatically lower insulin costs to $35 for seniors, he uneasily faced the rest of his able bodied life of working over 25 hours a week. He's diabetic, type 2 and recently had a aortic valve replacement and last month pace maker put in yet he by his love the business choice, works over 25 hours a week. At least now, the sense of urgency and worry is all but removed due to the fair priced cost.
The $700 ambulance ride, in total covering less than 150 yards across the Cape Cod Hospital parking lot is over the top outrageous and believe me, I think back and wonder if that bill would look great on my wall, framed. The $35 emergency room bill for two Tylenol pills that another patient wrote of also is a clear example of fraud, or is it.
Robin Hood steals from the rich and gives freely to the poor, hospitals and insurance companies, private and public are modern day Robin Hoods en mass.
But, to that less than minimum wage earning, life risk taking ambulance driver, no doubt, an easy $18 an hour after all taxes and insurance is taken out is long overdue. There's a fine line between fair and balanced and the known ingorance and inhumantiy shown from the investors down to the weekly wage earner. No doubt universal health care has a plan to address wage discrepancy, but as of this writing, I have not read it.
Socialism in its pure unharmed form does work. It's outside forces that lay it to easy ruin.
Is the current situation really that bad? It's going to be awhile but ultimately our Canadian allies will continue to pave the way as to how America could truly afford universal health care, long overdue..
