Healthcare thread

Health care needs to be more accessible and more affordable, that’s all I was trying to get at.

To say the media has over blown it is border line ignorant. Any news on how to deal with this or what is being done and not done about it .......is not the media blowing it out of proportion and to throw blame there is trump like stupidity!

“You always have to hope for the best, but you absolutely have to prepare for the worst,” said Dr. Anand Parekh of the Bipartisan Policy Center on Yahoo Finance’s The First Trade.



Parekh served as U.S. Department of Health & Human Services deputy assistant secretary for health from 2008 to 2015.



“I think the critical thing here for the American people is not to panic, but to be prepared,” Parekh added.

Walking in Baltimore i have far more risk of violent death then catching coronavirus. If you are under 40 and healthy and catch the coronavirus you have less than 2 in 1000 chance of dying.

You wouldn't think these based on the hyper coverage from all the media.

With all that said, the last sentence of your post is absolutely correct,

“I think the critical thing here for the American people is not to panic, but to be prepared,” Parekh added

To you the worst example to make your point is a "Homeless drug person from baltimore" I understand that ,you're bias with an agenda .Now my example is and are children .They don't have to be homeless just sick enough that their parents can't save them no matter what they do.Most young children have young parents who are struggling and just one diagnosis of cancer can wipe the family out .... only an example but as you say you're fine with the rich getting it all and hopefully it will trickle on down to the lonely poor, lower middle class , middle class and upper middle class ......you know the ones that pay for everything. The ACA .....Obamacare to those that hate it, is and was a great idea that has problems but would have gotten straighten out like all big plains do at their beginnings . Trump has seen to chop up and destroy it so much that it is pretty much useless now. He is rich and can pay for any healthcare he or his family needs.
My question is what happens to a child born with a heart problem , yes he is on his parents Insurance but at the age of 21 he is off it and working trying to find Insurance but guess what, he can't, .....he has a pre existing condition his heart and can not get coverage , I would like to know what you would say to him? If he asks you why can't he be insured or get care please tell me or his parents why he doesn't deserve it?

The ACA was a crap policy that was built off lies. You can keep your DR. LIE Rates will drop for the average family $2800. Lie rates went up. You can keep insurance if you like your policy. LIE

If I purchased a policy conforming to the ACA this year for a family of 3 my premium would have been $1,700 per month. The real kicker is that each one of us would have a $6,000 ded. So I would have to pay $27,000 before one person would have any coverage.

We still have 30 million people uninsured and then you have the people that have insurance that is useless because their deductibles are so high.

I wanted to honor the other thread and make it stay non political so I'm putting this one here.


The man is a fucking moron!Yes it's that simple!

Trump rallies his base to treat coronavirus as a ‘hoax’



NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. — President Donald Trump on Friday night tried to cast the global outbreak of the coronavirus as a liberal conspiracy intended to undermine his first term, lumping it alongside impeachment and the Mueller investigation.

He blamed the press for acting hysterically about the virus, which has now spread to China, Japan, South Korea, Iran, Italy and the U.S, and he downplayed its dangers, saying against expert opinion it was on par with the flu.

He never said it was a hoax get your facts right.

This thread is kind of weird.

To say our healthcare is dependent upon the health of our weakest link can only apply - albeit in a very loose manner - in the case of a new communicable disease against which there is no built up herd immunity. It doesn't apply in any other way.

Coronavirus is definitely more dangerous than the flu. How do you measure danger? If you get it, what is the probability then that you will die? The chances of dying once you've caught Coronavirus are much higher than the chances of dying once you've caught Influenza. Coronavirus just isn't nearly as prevalent... yet. Chances are it will hit a wall like SARS did in the summer when it gets hot and humid, when viruses generally don't hold up. Notice there are no outbreaks in the southern hemisphere, where it's currently summer?

By then hopefully we'll get a vaccine in place to stop it when it pops up again in 2021.

Healthcare is about everything from managing chronic genetic conditions to recovering from catastrophic traumatic injury to managing your blood pressure and cholesterol to getting enough exercise to maintaining your blood sugar for diabetic patients... and on and on. To boil it down to a discussion specific to a brand new communicable disease is kind of asinine.

He never said it was a hoax get your facts right.

Why are you so silent when I asked you to point out these lies you claim I made?

This shit is just downright irresponsible
