Let's talk about how we try to enjoy our lives, then end up paying for our faults! Or accidents!
Everyday people get injurged. Now why should we pay a bill to get treated? Doesn't anyone want healthy and strong people in our world, or am I the only one?
Recently I got hives from what I found to be from an allergic reaction. I would itch throughout my nights and days until I got fed up and went to the hospital. At the time, I was on a health plan that only covered so much. After going to the hospital three times and an allergist twice, I ended up with bills adding up to more than $1000. Now tell me where I am going to get this money? I could only think why me. I didn't know I was allergic to someting. It wasn't my fault. I just wanted to get treated.
I'll probably have those bills over my head for who knows how long. But all I know is... by the time I graduate college and if I have so much of even half of tuition in medical bills you better bet yourself Im paying for college first. My education is so much more important than paying to be healthy and alive. Clearly noone cares about this issue enough to make health care free, at least that's what it seems.
I honestly do not see why people can not just go to doctors and get treated. The old saying "you break it, you buy it" must be true for all cases. We all deserve to be healthy and if that means to pay a $1000 medical bill just to get an ambulence ride, then bill collectors will have a fun time annoying people.
I understand some people, or fiends, may try to get medication for all the wrong reasons but that's not everyone. These people should not be given medication unless hospitalized.
Makes sense to me, what about you?
I do not understand this sentence:
ReplyDelete"I understand some people, or fiens, may try to get medication"
I think choosing to pay college debt instead of medical debt is foolish. First, because student loan debt is likely to be at a lower interest rate. Second, because of the consequences of a default. Defaulting on student loan debt means... not much in the short term. Defaulting on medical debt means that you are more likely to get second-rate medical care.
I'll conclude by asking you a question. You wrote, "...we try to enjoy our lives, then end up paying for our faults! Or accidents!" If not you, then who else do you think should pay for your faults and accidents? Your parents? Your future children? Strangers?
I am simply saying that we should not have to pay medical bills at all. It is not our fault if we get a kidney stone or cancer, is it? No, so why do we have to pay to get treated on terms where we do not cause the incident? Thanks for your comment.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that it would be nice to have free medical care, but unfortunately this seems impossible in America. If we don't pay health bills, then how would medical centers receive sufficient funds for care? Without income then our centers would not be able to provide the the health care that we need.
ReplyDeleteI'll ask a second time. What does "fiens" mean?
ReplyDeleteYour lifestyle choices (career, diet, exercise) have a definite impact on your health. For example, you're much more likely to get lung cancer if you're a coal miner or oil worker. You're more likely to get a kidney stone if you drink cola and juice instead of water.
As for your comment on payment... The current incident of a hurricane trashing the East Coast is no one's fault. Who's supposed to pay for it?
