As trayertrash said, "US members, call your representative! https://callyourrep.co"

My insurance is currently $120 a month 

 

Estimated financial help: $0 per month ($0 per year)
as a premium tax credit. This covers 0% of the monthly costs. (Although your income would qualify you for help, insurance premiums in your area may not be expensive enough for this help to kick in. For more information, see the FAQ). Your cost for a silver plan: $733 per month

so he's making the healthcare system worse again.. 

i was honestly shocked when i read that americans even have to pay for the ambulances when they're needed (?). 

it seems scary to think that there's this huge rise of conservatism across the globe.

Making America great again, I see....  

[terusama 4,427]

The rise of conservatism is directly related the accumulation of power over time as it enables power-holders to influence those beneath them and suppress their opposition

 

it will only get worse as power-holders use their influence to continue to dismantle the protections of the common man and accumulate more power

 

Gentle pushback in the opposite direction will not work. Their influence is too great. Either we act with conviction or get snuffed.

 

edit: sorry bout my little angry rant here guys

When I had my daughter it was $500 for the ambulance and an additional $10 per mile to the hospital

It's so expensive here. My mother became very sick last week, and she did not want me to call emergency services due to the fact that they're so costly.

It's really sad too, because she should be focused on her health rather than money.

It is common knowledge I have right leaning views but Republicans took a big ass L with this one..

Yeah, it's really fucked up :/ I don't think non-Americans realize how messed up our healthcare system is. People willingly chose not to get cancer treatments because they don't want to survive and be financially fucked the rest of their lives. Not paying them will destroy your credit, which means no car, no home, sometimes no job, and some states, if your medical bills go unpaid for too long you can go to jail.

Please divorce your husband. You're better than this.

Yep, and it costs more if you ask them to rush you there or if it's an emergency and they have to rush you. It would've cost a lot more if I didn't choose to go to the closest hospital instead of the one I wanted to go to that was 15 miles away. 

[Flowerbomb 65,555]

Honestly, living in the UK makes me feel so grateful. I really do feel for you guys in the US. You're health system is a disgrace.
