That Trump should consider putting birth control in Chicago's tap water.

Whats that going to do to fix interest rates which is causing massive inflation in things like healthcare?

many rules and laws cause unfortunate harm. I don't think you can weight this one sob story over the countless others.

I was of course being a little snarky, I don't think Trump should do that. I can't recite any statistics but I've read numerous times of the cost imposed to heathcare facilities for unpaid bills, presumably some from cases where the facility was required by law to treat the patient. Point I'm trying to make is that we should be ditching the socialism instead of trying to make the socialist system work, such as controlling immigration or reproduction.

Should hospitals kick out sick or dying people because of their cost to the hospital?


How should the uninsured problem be taken care of? Some would consider that immoral and "un-Christian". "The richest country in the world can't even take care of their sick?"

Their sick? Why don't we start sending bills back to the country where the patient came from.

Pauper hospitals are the only logical solution..

But then society has to deal with the 'equal rights' bullshit.......

Property owners should be free to do what they wish with their property. I think getting rid of the licensing requirements could go a long way in giving people access to healthcare. Speculation: if government had never attempted to fill the role of charaties/non-profits there would be a much better- more sustainable, more antifragile- system of the poor receiving healthcare, and the absence of such a law wouldn't phase you.

Yeah I wasn't trying to be snarky either, I just see lots of team red people on here blaming things the Fed causes on regulation and Obama and everything but our interest rates and foreign policy. Healthcare is one of the things that usually eats the brunt of the inflation until debt started to liquidate, that's why we will have insurance companies closing soon which would automatically cause health care to get cheaper. The team red people want to stop the insurance companies from failing though because as soon as one bubble bursts the next one is short to follow.

Money goes where it is welcome, and it is still not very welcome here in a Trump administration. Trump is going to destroy the dollar because the globalist know they have a rare opportunity to force the Russians into ousting Putin if their economy tanks enough. I am not defending that policy but it has everything to do with healthcare costs, and if we weren't doing all of that then we wouldn't even be arguing about pennies it costs to give people healthcare.

Common. Legal. Nobody knows how it works. I call BS on at least one out of three.

I'll raise ya.

My guess is that it also works for parents not just the spouse:

http://www.visitorscoverage.com/green-card-insurance/medicare-for-green-card/

"What are the eligibility criteria for Medicare? Can a green card holder apply for Medicare?

A US citizen or legal permanent resident aged 65 years or older usually qualify for Medicare. One of the eligibility criteria is that the person or spouse must have worked in the US and paid Medicare taxes for minimum 40 quarters.
If you are a recent green card holder or new immigrant to the US, aged 65 years or older, and never worked in the US, you may not immediately qualify for Medicare
If you don't qualify for free Medicare, you can still purchase it, if the following holds true in your casee:
You're 65 years or older.
You have recently become a US citizen by naturalization and haven't worked enough quarters to have social security coverage.
You are a lawfully admitted alien (green card holder) and have constantly lived in the United States for 5 years or longer and don't qualify for the Social Security benefits"

1) You or spouse must be a legal resident or citizen
2) must be 65 or older
3) must have been a taxpayer for eight years prior

If you are a recent green card holder or new immigrant to the US, aged 65 years or older, and never worked in the US, you may not immediately qualify for Medicare

4) You can pay for it (the insurance) yourself if you have worked five years prior and are here legally at least that long

Woman in the OP would not be eligible.

I don't know for certain but I'd think the larger harm (price increases) is done by poor government healthcare policies, regulations, and taxes from all levels of government over the harm done by inflation. Both hospitals in my area rank in the top 10 highest property tax payers locally. The fed helps facilitate the shit show so they definitely deserve some blame.

Yep- .gov should not be in the medical business.

I really see nothing unreasonable about that .
