Fuckin got my hospital bill today after rupturing part of my spleen and fracturing my kidney. Can't beleive my fuckin bill. ICU is a joke!
 
I got a 67 thousand dollar hospital bill for a 5 day stay in the hospital. I shit you not, that's completely separate from the surgeon's fees. Insurance is still denying to pay for it too.

It's so beyond fucked up what they charge
 
"do you have insurance, medicare, or AFLAC?"

haha sorry i had to use a line from "the ringer"

but for real, wont insurance(if you have any) pick up a good chunk of that.

otherwise, that sucks!
 
^ ha makes me not feel so bad about it now. U.S. hospitals are making skiing an expensive sport for me.
 
o, i just had an MRI on tuesday, and i asked the nurse how much the MRI machine cost, and she said 2.5 million... so they do pay allot for some of that stuff. but yeah, i dont even want to think how much fixing my back is going to end up costing....

 
i had like 23000 for a 10 day stay, numerous xrays and ct scans and a chest tube. either my hospital is really shitty or yours are really expensive
 
wow

thats really cheap, then again i spent like 3 weeks in the hospital

i have a blood condition that made everythibg alot more complcated though
 
another thing I love about living in Canada, one note from the doctor and all the free physio you want. My knees love that.
 
ahh if your under 18 it sure is, and if not is like 30$ a month, nothing at all.....
 
its funny how your insurance company will pay the hospital 10% of their original charge.........and the hospital will simply accept.

anesthesiologists always seem to demand the highest single cost
 
and before anyone starts saying how we need universal health, let me just say over the course of a lifetime, canadians pay something like three times more for healthcare in taxes than "we" (people with enough disposable income to ski) in the US do in insurance and hospital bills.
 
^thats great for you i guess. but guess what! i had a 3 day stay in the hospital and ive probly had over 20 x-rays and ive had an mri and a whooooleeee bunch of other stuff.

only things the rentals payed for were the things i left with (casts, braces and stuff)

personaly i would rather pay more taxes than you and not have the millions of dollers of hospital bills that i would have
 
ya but anesthesia is one of the most dangerous parts of any surgery. that's why they have specialists to do it and they get paid alot.
 
BAHAHAH, thats sooo funny. definetly love Canada:D
free doc note and i get free physio. free hospital stays, free everything geeeze i love my wonderful little purple card :)
 
yours is purple?

Jealous!!

haha i love canada

i cant believe that it costs that much for health care in the states thats so retarded.
 
If you moved across the northern border you wouldn't have that problem. The only problem in Canada is the phenomonal living cost in cities.

In the UK, everything is free. Everything. It's on the government's NHS (National Health Service), which is what the taxpayers pay for. Your ambulance ride, stay, medicine, operations, everything is paid for. Even foreigners get free healthcare. Even illegal immigrants get healthcare that Britain's taxpayers pay for. The NHS is in about 8 billion GBP in debt or something, but that's the government's problem.

I really don't understand the logic behind America's healthcare.
 
damn better have a good insurance if you live in the states. over 200 000 $ is redicolous and even the 15 k after insurance is insane
 
I also hear in some instances if you get hurt in England, not only will they pay your health insurance, but they will give you money on top of that for pain and suffering.
 
i had something like 300k for my surgery and a one night stay in the hospital,, but then aain it was kind of major surgery, either way hospitals suck, i hate doctors too, they are fucking creepers
 
never paid a damn thing for health care. its sweet. you can get drunk, fall off a bike and split your face open and not pay a thing. even for your own negligence its free haahha
 
Well your at least you didn't have to get acute osteochondral shear fracture of the capitellum in a twelve year old patient.

yup, thats me three years ago.

The surg. is basically unknown.

They wrote an article about me too.

A pure articular fracture of the capitellum has rarely if evr been reprted in children less of 12 years old.

I feel like a BAMF. I wanna try to get the article on here, and dude that stinks about what happened i wonder how much my surg was ahah.
 
all we need to do is have the free healthcare for those that cant afford private healthcare and private for those that can. that way everyone will be happy.

theres an add for the ryan sheckler official community on the right of my screen...
 
I split my head open once, had to pay $60 for the ambulance ride! What is the world coming to? next time I'm walking.
 
When I had appendicitis, I had to spend a week in the hospital with a couple of days in the ICU because it ruptured during the operation. My parent had to pay nothing, thats right, it was free because of universal health care.

Makes me think, Micheal Moore was right in Sicko

 
o, no no no. nothing is free, someone payed for your opperation, maybe not your parents, but someone did.

PS, i bet your parents get taken up the ass in taxes, that is why it is "free"
 
I agree, I will gladly sit ands wait 4 hours to stitch a finger if it means Im not paying seven grand. The wait time argument against free healthcare is a joke.

Unless I suppose its a hip replacement. Then I suppose it pays to pay.
 
not only will insurance pick up most of it, they'l lower the price considerably. when my brother smashes his face this past season the bill was 1200, the insurance lowered it to like 350 and paid the whole thing. hospitals and shit always charge a shitload and then the insurance company will tell them how much they're paying, and the hospital just accepts it. thats why ur fucked if no insurance
 
i disagree completely:

Medicine is an unalienable right, and should be equal for all people, not great for those 10% who pay and and shitty for the other 90%!

Shame on the U.S. for not having socialized medicine. Why not spend some of your $300-billion military budget on medicine?
 
I love being european. I would be poor in the States, since I manage to get to the hospital so often
 
My knee surgery was covered by my insurance and I'm gonna get a lil over a 1000 from AFLAC for my injury. Kinda nice to get paid for getting injured. But i'd give it back to be healthy again.
 
Althought that's probably true, you're missing the point of Public Healthcare. Maybe they pay 10 and you guys end up paying 7, but what about the people that can't afford to pay those 7? Public Healthcare is for EVERYONE, those who earn more pay more so the ones that earn less or nothing have the right to be health attended
