arouns 8 years ago or so, 5 friends (from Croatia) went on a student trip to usa, one month long trip to travel around on low budget and see a bunch of stuff, they had plane tickets with exact dates and all that

one of them developed a pneumonia, roughly 10 days since arrival and they spent so much money on pills and doctors for that one guy that they returned home hungry because of the expenses


Croatia also got free medicare and it is exploited a lot.. so I can't say I'm up for 100% free but there gotta be a sane balance so you don't go bankrupt just because you had to have a medical procedure of some kind

dunno what the best way is, but sucks if it isn't balanced in some way

Then you have never been to Maine !

In Soviet Russia... Cat eat your wife.

Lets get one thing straight here!

It is my opinion that there is absolutely no such thing as free health care. I'm originally from the UK, spent 48 years there and had some great health care but it was never free. In the UK on top of tax we pay National Insurance which is based on your income. 20 years ago i paid around £1200 a month NI. Thats around $1600 this went towards medical and pensions.

Even people who did not work or are on disability still had their health care covered by people who did work. So at least in the UK no medical treatment is free, someone pays for it!

no! I would like to visit there one day though, it's a beautiful state.


Also, not claiming you are wrong. just anecdotally, we have different experiences. I did notice things changed at healthcare businesses when obamacare kicked in and everyone was required to have insurance, the er and hospitals have a person that makes sure patients are insured, and they do ask about insurance early on. but I figured that was due to hospitals need to get paid for their services, ACA is required, they can get both those handled right there right then. people that come into the er without insurance are helped getting it so both are covered. that tends to make sense to me.

Easily. In Soviet America it somehow different? Your cats somehow different to ours, dildo?

Why no single american creature has told me the price of the procedure the regular fucking american citizen can get at any clinic if he had a contact with a street animal? Let it will be a dirty one with cockroaches and only one toilet per a block, but the doctors will do you a full course of analyses (including a HIV test, analyses of your pee and even a heart cardiogram - only God knows why...) These dirty motherfuckers will do you antiviral injections and the antibiotic blockage (in a fuckin' huge doze). They won't even ask any obamacare-like papers. No single fucking ruble will be paid.

Tell me, Americans. Is that possible in your country? All these services for a zero money w/o a medical insurance (fuck, even a food when you are staying in a dirty Russian clinic is totally блять free). Possible, ah?

P.S. As about the food so I'm incorrect a bit. My wife is a vegan, while the dirty municipal clinics deliver meat, so she's really can not eat that.

your country does a LOT of shit to others and yes, everything you do is your fault...its how responsibility works but americans are immune to this because "reasons"...for example you went out of your way to fuck over communism and the 3rd world in any way possible, even though it is none of your business what other countries decide to try...with this shit sniffing foreign policy you literally retarded humanity in general by making all these countries invest in weapons and take economic damage from your terrorist economic sanctions...american foreign policy has done more economic damage than WW2 easily....so has your dishonest business of money printing and dumping your printed shit on poor countries forcing them to import your inflation...everything your government does is dishonest and underhand...

your "great economy" is just one big debt you dump on others...there is nothing free or progressive about this...it is modern debt slavery IRL...impoverish a region and get them in debt and pay for goods and services with printed out of thin air money AND fuck over their own currency and make them have to follow you or collapse...

You can has cheeseburger

serbie is drenched in a gushing flood of putie splooge.

Since I'm, steel alive the answer is no?

Same. I went to the ER last November. They didn't ask me about insurance and payment until I was leaving, I didn't even have it on me.

Wow 20 years ago paying the equivalent of $1600. Today that would be over $2000, maybe even 2200.

Was that for just you or at least a family?

My personal insurance is $450 a month and it's pretty good. Just me, no family or dependent.

...wow, that got weird all of a sudden.. Madonna? ..really? We have other Presidents, Prime ministers, and even the Saudi Royal family come to the US for the best medical care in the world. Sadly, you have to be very wealthy to get it..

Yes, she said that paid medicine in the UK is shit.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

So the medical services are free in the USA right from tomorrow? No Obamacare anymore. No payments for pills and even for food in the clinic? Congrats, you have achieved the new level. You are Russia now!

I <3 my socialist government on that matter as well . . .

Man, if that really happened in the USA, I do applause to your country. No monthly medical fees anymore. A free ER. Free analyses for anything. Free treatment of caner and AIDS. Thank you God it was happened in the USA today! You are great and I wold live in America!!!

My friend just had a triple bypass surgery and didn't pay a dime. He is US Navy veteran and on social security. Don't know who is feeding you info that there isn't free medical services in the US. Must be Russia Today.

US hospitals can't refuse emergency medial treatment regardless of your insurance status, fool. For someone who is so fascinated at hating US you can google it up. Its been this way for many many years.
Let me do this for you - The Emergency Medical and Treatment Labor Act (EMTLA)

PS: God forbids we ever do become "like Russia".

Does this free medicine apply to normal people or just ex paid mercenaries? I bet it just for former invaders...

Hey mr. worldview. You know that people are indivuduals right? No?

Did you have a video of russian cops arresting a rottys owner? I can provide plenty of video of americans rescuing animals as well.

I used to own a rotty, and as much of a gentle giant my rotty was, it is in there instinct to attack people who are being violent to others. Its just a sad fact. Your collection of videos does not prove any point, other than its stupid to put your life in danger for an animal.

Do you also swerve your automobile for squirrels and rabbits?

I will say this though... you are right and you are wrong.

Healthcare in America IS a scam. But it is clean as fuck, like, you could eat off the floor clean.

I just don't understand all the hate. Why can't we just be friends?

FREE? No insurance? Certainly something had to cover this procedure.

No, no, no, US hospitals can't refuse anyone in critical condition. Even if your occupation is Serbian rapist and baby killer. So if you ever have "diabetic coma", dial 991 and you too can get free insulin, and have doctors check you body for farther complications. That's how my friend found out about his heart problems and had free bypass surgery 2 days ago.

Google "Disproportionate share hospital payments"

You sort of prove my point. “Nothing is wrong. America is great!”

I realized a long time that pointing out American issues on gfy only gives anti-Americans ammunition to use to attack US here.

Nothing gets solved at gfy, certainly not important American issues. I'll stick to addressing those with my fellow Americans in America.

dude...your healthcare is a global joke...if your friend had not been in critical condition, like 99% of sick people are, he would have paid out of ass...this way the out of ass was spread to others...

the first step to recovery is to admit you have a problem...you like bending over to your gov...they brainwashed you in to anal obedience...each month you pay...so your convenient lie becomes much more attractive than the bitter truth: your anus is getting spent...this is your anus right now: :mad:

do not defend your oppressors, rise up and you too can have 3rd world rated healthcare for free, instead of just paying out of ass for 3rd world rated healthcare...your anus will be like this then: :thumbsup

here is what it probably looks like :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I'm not shocked serbie has no idea about everyday American folks.

you can eat off of 3rd world hospital floors as well...the laws of chemistry work on old tiles as well as on new tiles...you can disinfect in the 3rd world for much less money than in the USA...

the bed may not look new, the floor is 100 years old, the walls may be crap...but you can disinfect nevertheless...some dumb snowflake will call it "dirty" but he has poor education and does not understand how incredibly cheap disinfectant is...even the oldest and most run down hospitals are squeaky clean...

You are a fool. They can't of course, but you idiot will fuck up your credit history if you refuse to pay the bill. What a stupid tool you are?

Just FYI: even in Uganda the clinic will not refuse to treat you if you was scratched by an animal, broke a leg, has an appendicitis, a toxic intoxication or you just pregnant because you... a woman. The question is how much you will be charged for this if you have no medical insurance (not at all, didn't paid a dime for it during a whole your life). I will repeat it again, you stupid moron, in Russia it will cost you exactly ZERO of anything. Now what is about America? Is there a person who can stop talking bullshit but tell me the numbers. The simple funckin' numbers for every state you live in? How much it will cost? The Ambulance, the fuckin' (I don't even know how many) analyses, the treatment, staying for a day in clinic etc. How fuckin' much?

Yes, in the US PRIVATE clinic you can eat from a floor. In Russian private clinic you can eat from a super hot girl you can't even dream about in your country. But I'm talking about FREE municipal clinics. FREE, motherfuckers. Do you speak English? FREE.

Dance ruski!

Arresting the owners or killing their pets as american butchers do?

P.S. Yes, according to the Russian civilian (not criminal) code you can be arrested for walking a dog without a muzzle or for pissing in a public place, drinking vodka, having sex etc. Even for crossing the road where is no "zebra". Not a big deal. You will be fined for a literally funny money (about $20 USD or so).

That was just for me, but it's based on how much you earn. I owned a large film effects company so my salary was quite good.:winkwink:

I guess you are too fucking stupid to read 2 sentences.

"Public hospitals, funded by taxpayer dollars, are held to a different standard than privately owned for-profit hospitals. This means that a public hospital is the best option for those without health insurance or the means to pay for care."

We too have public clinics and they are no different than private. Lots of public hospitals have the best specialists from around the country.
So pinkie, you can eat your dirt. Its FREE. We get quality healthcare in public hospitals. FREE.

Lets compare our Public Hospital like Jackson Memorial Hospital and your pig barn where you wive had her rabies shots done. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Here is American Public Hospital



Here is Russian Public Hospital

All of you Eastern Europeans dumb asses are banned in google? Type "public hospitals in the US". Try it. Its more fun than beating up defenseless Muslim women and children. At least I think it is.

Yes, it does not look luxury at all. It's a free hospital somewhere far away from Moscow. If you want to be cured, you will chose this (ugly but with a cost of nothing). If you want to get fun with elite prostitutes and blackjack, you will choose a private one.... for money. The thing is that both will use the same treatment scheme for you. The twin sister prostitutes are cool, but what exactly you want to get from that clinic? Maybe a... treatment?

What an idiot you are. Are these hospitals located in the each part of every American city? So when an average American calls Ambulance he will be delivered in that col and free hospital for free? An American w/o a medical insurance. Free delivery, free analyses, free food and of course free treatment: MRI, the surgery, free drugs from HIV and cancer. Everything is fuckin' free in the USA now? Did I get it right?

You are an imbecile, right?

Every midsize city in America has free public hospital that look just as good as private. We don't have 6 coil spring beds per room with one rusty faucet. We don't have rooms that look like WW2 movies.
And what the fuck are you blabbing about prostitutes in the hospitals? Last thing a sick person is going to need - hooker. Well, unless you are the sex deprived Serb who likes to post about USA.

Yes, you mother fucking idiot. That's why its called Jackson South Medical Center | Jackson Health System. Its network of Jackson Healthcare systems. Just in Florida. Every other state and city has their own. Are you fucking retarded? I gave you link to short list of BEST FREE hospitals. Now if you have one brain cell left, you can do the same and search for every fucking state and city. :1orglaugh What a fucking dumb ass. :1orglaugh

Here, dumb Russian fuck. Public Hospitals in Miami :1orglaugh
