free healthcare again??? do hospitals open for free, surgeons work for free, nurses the same, how about administrative staff?

Healthcare is not Free anywhere...somebody pays for it. You just want someone else to pay for yours...

By the way, I think this is old news, at least according to AI "Anthem withdrew a proposed policy that would have restricted reimbursements for anesthesia services based on insurer-mandated time limits. Under their official Anthem Anesthesia Services Policy, they still stipulate several exclusions where anesthesia will not be reimbursed"

Well since BCBS provides coverage to 1 out of every 3 Americans, that will eliminate a sh*tload of companies. How about we pressure the insurance company to reverse this policy instead?
OK, I'll work on it....

Resolved....see post #5 above....

This is dumb. You are dumb.
Great response. Bravo!!
you know how many more problems this country will have if we had free healthcare?
Hospitals will have an ever harder time because everyone will be going for any sort of illness.
Many businesses will close down because great health insurance is all they can offer.
Oh and one of the larger hospitals in Iowa will be hit with both of these instances. The University greatly under pays its staff and many work there because of the benefits. What’s going to happen when they all quit and we’re down one of the larger hospitals in the state?
So as I mentioned before, find a job with better health insurance if it’s an issue for you. Only problem then is you won’t be able to pay any bills because your pay will suffer as a result.

Dude, you act like I don’t understand this topic. No country in the world would trade with what we have here. We’re doing it wrong. Their doctors say here’s the treatment. They get it. HERE, billionaire insurance companies tell our doctors no. Stop being so ignorant.

Please cite where I said healthcare should be free? Affordable and accessible, absolutely.

just like food and water
Ok if not free, are you still expecting the government to pay for a large majority of healthcare costs? If not, where is that money coming from? Why not just have free healthcare if the government is paying a large portion of cost. If it’s not paid by the government, are you putting that cost back on employers? If so, why are employers expected to pay your healthcare?

You're easily triggered. An Anthem spokesman said "It never was and never will be the policy of Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield to not pay for medically necessary anesthesia services. The proposed update to the policy was only designed to clarify the appropriateness of anesthesia consistent with well-established clinical guidelines.”

Also FWIW this controversy occurred when Biden was president.

The policy never took effect. It's amazing how easily some of you get triggered.

Yeah, insurance companies are always on the up and up. They'd never done anything shady in the past like this. It's amazing how quickly you turds will suck from the propaganda teat without questions

Hopefully you never get F'd by an insurance company but if you do......good. Your gullible *** needs a good dose of reality

I was responding to another poster Mr b who was saying we should get a different job if we don't like our healthcare coverage. Try reading better before you respond to my posts please.

So you want to pay all of it out of pocket? Is that the human right you want?

Humans need food and water to survive, why do I have to buy that with the money I make from a job? Want me to keep going?
You're apparently unaware that farmers are heavily subsidized by the govt and your f'n water is provided to your home by the govt. You people are so breathtakingly stupid.

What do farmers getting subsidies from the government have to do with healthcare or me having to pay for food?
How is the government paying for my water that I get from a well that I have to maintain and make sure the water quality remains drinkable?

You sound like a poor sap. Apparently, working the drive-thru doesn't pay as much as you thought it would.

Most people realize that when they get out of school, it's time to get a real job.

What are you talking about? What about that comment makes you think I’m poor?

We already had this discussion and you were too dumb and poor to understand it. Will await more sophisticated responses.
Yeah, and you never understood it. Are you telling me that you and the Republicans are SOOOOOOOO intelligent that THE REST OF THE WORLD HAS THIS WRONG?!?! No citizen in the world would agree with you. We’re doing it wrong and you’re effing proud of it. Dumb a$$.
