Whether To Laugh Or Cry.........

"Medicaid is not expensive....the high cost of the program is due to the fact that too many Americans are poor."

‘Medicaid Is Not Too Expensive; People Are Too Poor,’ Democrat Congressman Says | CNSnews.com

Should we laugh ourselves silly over this or cry over it until we are sick to our stomachs??

Well we already know these people have lost touch with reality and their plantation mentality keeps the poor right where they want them, poor. So what can we expect from them? Even when they say something that doesn't even makes sense to reasonable people they believe it is perfectly sane and reasonable when it clearly is not. How can we get them to come back to reality? I wish I knew.

My brother sliced his hand open last night. After they stitched him up at the ER and gave him a tetanus shot, they presented him with a $1000 bill that he is faced with paying. He is a college student and if he doesn't get Medicaid to help him (which will reduce the bill to about $200) he will be pretty screwed.

This as much a commentary on Medicaid as it is on inflated hospital bills.

If evidence is given that he can not pay they will make an adjustment. It may take a bit of work but as long as he does not have the income to support such a payment they will adjust it accordingly, or even write it off completely. It depends on how much income he has.

He doesn't have a job, but is actively searching, so hopefully that will be taken into account.

I'm still wondering how they managed to charge a grand for three stitches.

Right after my wife moved here she had a major heart attack. She had to have surgery and was in the hospital for 3 days and one day of surgery. A total of 4 days was $35,000. She did not have insurance and we certainly could not afford to pay for that so she contested it and they wrote much of it off. We ended up with a 5000 dollar bill to pay, which was still tough but not as bad as the 35,000. If he contests it and can prove his case he should be fine.
