Pho Conservative Group "Call Congress, and tell them that President Trump has no right to subside healthcare"

you mean, reverse all the fucked up shit Barry and Biden did in 8 years that netted you inflated prices because you no longer had to compete...Big Pharama and Big Medical Insurance can take a very long walk in cement shoes off a very short pier.

Big insurance wrote the ACA. Big insurance is the single most malignant tumor in our healthcare system, of course their solution was merely handing them the keys.

In reality, it is not. Health Insurance by law have to pay out 90% of their revenue, and only can use 10% for overhead and profit. that is a lower margin than just about any other business. It is healthcare costs that are the problem, not insurance

What do you do if you can only make 10% profit??? you make sure cost go up, when cost go up so does your total profit. The insurance companies do not care how much the service providers charge because they will always end up making their cut so the more the better.

Wow. Interesting. But doctors haven't had a great situation either, so if we aren't profiting from rising costs, who are ... ?

Part of you insurance premiums goto paying the salary of the person whose whole job is denying your claim

Part of your doctor bill goes to paying the person who has to argue with that person.

Thats a dumb wasteful system.

Those massive buildings, computers, electric bills, corporate jets, people doing the job, managers pretending to manage, etc all cost money. There's not mathematical possibility that this comes to 10%

Either your son was a deal, or your daughter is amazing. I am betting on the daughter. :)

The only two factors that I'm aware of are:

  1. My son was born in December. But we never burned through our deductible in the space of a year.

  2. My son was born before Obamacare. My daughter was born after.

Edit: Same exact health plan. Everything else was the same.
