Uninsured would rise by 24 million under GOP plan to repeal Obamacare | cleveland.com[/QUOTE

FACTS-
We spend twice as much on healthcare as our other industrialized competitors. Yet, our results are about the same in terms of life expectancy.

As to uninsured-We do not deny healthcare to anyone. If, you have no savings etc there is nothing to take so it is written off as noncollectable. Like any other BUSINESS this THEFT is added to the bill of those who do pay.

For two years, before we qualified for Medicare, we paid 12,000 a year for healthcare insurance. At that cost, we had considered self insuring but fortunately we did not make that choice.

I spent four days in the villages hospital for which they issued a bill of 50,000. AETNA our insurance company paid the bill in full for 20,000. If, WE paid the same price for the same service that the insurance companies do, self insuring
would be a cost effective option.

There is nothing else besides healthcare that you do not ask about cost. You do not ask about other perhaps, less expensive options
