I said that already, no one seems to want to listen.

An uninsured friend of mine had his appendix out in an emergency operation.  Total cost, 15k.  After going through an arbitration he is going to pay 5k over 5 years.  Reasonable cost for an operation and 2 nights in the hospital.

Thanks to the wonderful way we deal with health insurance all our costs are grossly overinflated, but no one ever pays full price.  Insurance companies have deals with providers to pay roughly 1/3rd of the cost, the real, actual cost before bloating.  Anyone can get the same deal since hospitals would much rather actually get paid than have someone declare bankruptcy and never pay them.

The funny thing is medical bills do not go on your credit report and it is illegal for them to take your house over medical debt. I don't know if that's just florida law or national law.

I hope you're trying to be offensive just for the hell of it...I hope you meant swilling...I hope you notice you're confusing classes here...Tory munches crumpets, Al has bad teeth. Both swill tea. Of course that would be theory, reality might be different.

Senator StatesRights, you used to have fairly liberal views on healthcare a few months ago.

I didn't mean offensively. It's a great thread.

Both US and European systems are in the end of the road. I think the best healthcare system would be a mix between market and welfare model. Let's use the healthcare vouchers!  My solution is a model where 1) healthcare is guaranteed for all by the government 2) private healthcare companies product most services 3) Consumers choose what service they use (works only in cities, though) 4) Government borders costs by competition and controls quality of the services.

I don't know how radical that sounds, but it's a very (right-wing) radical view in Finland. 

What I meant to say was our technology is leaps and bounds above any other nation in the world.
