[QUOTE="MorkandMindy, post: 71263708, member: 172332"] As you can see I don't know very much about this topic. I applied for and was given last year medicaid by reason of my income, which I didn't use, and was then fined on my income tax because it was the wrong kind of medicaid. I then spent a week investigating and found out the system was far more complex than I had thought, and for the cancer test it seemed nobody actually knew if it was covered by medicaid, I would just have to wait and see if I got billed or not. IIR the US medical system costs 17% of GDP, more than twice the cost of the next most expensive (France) as a proportion of GDP, and gives results, well, a life expectancy of 3 months more than the average in Cuba. Isn't there some way to fix it? What happens if we get an epidemic? Do we use the system or just go around it? [/QUOTE]
