Hi gigimo,
That's a fairly easy one to answer. I've called my provider before going to seek medical care. If an insured presents their issue as being fairly serious, then the provider will generally recommend that the customer go to an ER. One has to understand that when your insurance provider talks to you about your issue, all they have is your voice on the other end of the phone line. So, they have to assume that you're being honest with them about your condition. I can call my insurance provider and tell them that my arm's turning blue like it's not getting any blood flow and they're going to direct me to an ER, especially after doctor's hours.
However, my point wasn't whether or not you could get your provider to recommend that you go to the ER. My point was simply that it is, hands down and without any doubt, the most expensive option for handling health issues.
You're wrong about just about every point that you've made in this discussion. However, I've had discussions with you before and I understand your nature.
God bless,
In Christ, ted

Hi TED!!!
When you try to slyly insinuate that somebody is dumb/stupid because they don't believe the politically correct "popular rhetoric" that you believe, sooner or later they will ignore most posts of the same rhetoric and consequently adopt an attitude similar to what is in my tagline, have a nice day TED...

Hi gigimo,
Well, I try to answer questions and present ideas with supporting evidence. So, while my responses are directed to questions or statements that you made to me, you're certainly free to skip reading them. It's your choice. I'll still be ok.
Consider though, that short 10 word sentences aren't always able to provide sufficient answers. After all, it took God some thousand pages to tell us all that He wanted us to know. Some people write whole books to research and answer sometime seemingly simple ideas. I imagine such lengthy prose can be difficult for people with seriously short attention spans.
God bless,
In Christ, ted

Hi again gigimo,
Let me give you an example. I will try to be short. Can you quote or copy some dialogue that I wrote in post #64 that is what you're referring to as politically correct "popular rhetoric"?
God bless,
In Christ, ted

Since I don't know anyone involved in this on a personal level, then the answer is "yes". Nice try at a smear, though

Hi DL,
I'm not sure what you mean by a smear. The person I was responding to was particularly distressed that his mother had been inconvenienced by not being able to see her regular specialist and he blamed it on the ACA. Although it isn't clear why the ACA caused the problem. What he said was that the doctor didn't want to see her any longer because of the ACA. So, other than the doctor apparently just deciding to up and not see her any longer, there hasn't been any evidence offered that it was actually some regulation of the ACA that prevented her from being seen by her regular specialist.
He now thinks the ACA is a terrible program because of this issue regarding his mother and apparently wants everyone to have some amount of sympathy for his mother's plight in this. On the other hand, the fact that repealing the ACA will likely put some 20 million people back out of health insurance, as they were before the ACA, doesn't seem to be of any bother to the poster.
So, I asked if his 'love' that he claims I'm not showing for his mother, was only for those friends and family of his and not worth extending to just other regular folk that might lose their insurance due to such an action by the legislature. I think it was a valid position.
Then, other posters piled on with the 'love' issue and apparently insinuated themselves into this particular discussion in agreeing with the initial poster that I wasn't showing any love.
BTW, since you are living in Denmark, I'm not sure that you're qualified to offer up rebuttal regarding this American issue. Are you particularly familiar with American health insurance and how it has been around here for the last 40 years?
God bless,
In Christ, ted

Let's see. Before Obama and his wonderful fix on healthcare, I paid very little, and had virtually no deductible.
Now, I can't afford my health insurance at all, and I would pay thousands of dollars if I ever use it.
Whatever all y'all decide to foist upon me this time, I don't think I'll be able to afford any more fixes.
