Hi, people in the UK!

I just got a bill for $3,001.36, which is for one visit to the hospital. That amount is what I have to pay *after* insurance.

Vote the Tories out and protect your #NHS. The system in the US is the system they want for you. They want a profit-making health service because they'd own it and you'd be making them richer every time you go to the doctor.

And people in Scotland: in the long term Labour are not going to save the NHS. Vote #SNP. Make Scotland independent!

@bodhipaksa I've posted about this often. As an American in a horrible "healthcare system", I'm watching people I love drain their retirement for illnesses. Insurance is not for the insured; it's for the corporation that has one goal - to take your money and cover nothing. Fight this with everything you have.

@dancinyogi I My insurance company broke one hospital visit down into six different cases, each of which is detailed on a different "Explanation of Benefits" (i.e. an explanation of why they're not paying everything). None of them actually explains anything. I will fight this, but it means contesting six different decisions simultaneously. I guess they do this to make things easier for themselves.
