I’ve been reading a lot of @pulte / #TwitterPhilanthropy and many of the cases are intractable and hard.
One father has a daughter with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. Both parents work. The medications are expensive. Medical bills pile one, wages get garnished. Mortgage default.

Legitimate compassion is rare. Liberal media trafficks in outrage. Conservatives often glib, saying things like, “Well you should have saved up more money,” as if a child getting an auto-immune condition is a luxury expense.

Liberals say pay for it all, but we all know that’s not sustainable especially as they all said illegal immigrants get full coverage. Conservatives have this mindset on sick children.....”furniture.”https://twitter.com/benshapiro/status/817968543211790336 …

There is an has to be a third way between childish liberalism (pay for it all, even everyone who can get past the border) and heartless conservatives (lol you should’ve saved up for that cancer medication).

People are working hard but wages are low so most people eat cheap processed food, which leads to even more sickness and auto-immune diseases, and the cycle continues, and it’s only going to get worse until we grow up and face it.

These are the kind of ideas people should be coming up with re: healthcare. “Those credit cards that roundup and send to a fund? Make a card that does this. People can opt in for a tax rebate. All their card purchases round up and go to desperate families in need.”pic.twitter.com/sLouoEsZDJ

That's a tough one for sure. As an extended exercise consider the same couple deciding to have a second child even after their doctor informs them that the child has a high probability of the same affliction.

The problem with the ACA and current state is that although money was provided for insurance companies to cover everyone, the cost of care i.e pharmaceutical, did not get guidelines. Lobbyists I’m guessing encouraged this to happen. Here is a scenario 1/
-
Patient wants to have a colonoscopy and hospital has agreement with Medicare that a colonoscopy costs 10k. Medicare says it’ll pay for 5k. Hospital agrees. Patient has private insurance and high deductible. Insurance says we will pay 2k but patient is responsible for remainder.2/
-
Patient gets bill for 8k since hospital is required to charge the same amount as what it charged Medicare/Medicaid. So the person that isn’t on the system is punished for those on the system through price agreements.
-
Many will say “hospitals charge too much”. The problem with that theory is if hospital said we will charge 5k for a colonoscopy then Medicare/Medicaid will say they will pay $1500. Hospitals drive up prices bc of Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement.
-
Idk what the solution is as if you regulate price, the hospitals will bankrupt unless taken over by the government, which in my opinion was what they hoped for long term anyways so they can force us into socialized medicine. There needs to be a fix as rising costs are bankrupting
-
If people think socialized healthcare is good, look up the time it takes ppl needing hip replacements or diabetic meds. It’s about 2 year wait. Whereas in the US it is about 6 months. Cancer survivor rates in the Uk are also much less.

Most auto immune issues can be fixed with proper diet, exercise, nutrition and rest.
