Oncologist's Emotional Story About Medical Debt  

She's using the term "seemingly" deliberately. It's not to demonize the healthcare system as a whole, but to highlight that in some cases, it can be detrimental. This way, her statements aren't directly challenged by positive stories, allowing for a more nuanced understanding. People generally resist being told anything outright, whether it's bad or good, especially as Americans.

Yes .. but you have to remember that these companies are owned by shareholders and they are not a charity .. the issue has to be addressed in another way

You have to remember that these companies are not a charity that they have stockholders.. the issue has to be addressed in another way or people just have to go ahead and pay for more insurance

I came here to say this too

@@valentingarciaablepay for more insurance….with what money? Between taxes and utilities and everything else there is no extra money for extra insurance.

The people are brainwashed

Because we are a capitalist society, for profit "healthcare" is our horrid reality.

Because our government invests and okays this. Our taxes are wasted on foreign wars and support their hate for us and others. Also, it would be nice to gather all the money these "officials", both elected and unelected, have stashed in accounts overseas from payoffs and stealing funds from projects. That includes the companies that earn billions from us paying insurance for healthcare machines and medications/treatment.

Because they are profiting off of it, too

We are one of the biggest Debtor nations in the world. Yet our congress members and US Senate and President(s) borrow money to pay for wars and illegal migrants.

I wouldn't even say healthcare, it is a disease management industry.

You are not lying. I lived in a very nice apartment in downtown Hartford, CT for 3 months. I was surrounded by beautiful sleek modern towering buildings with patios of colorful umbrellas. All insurance companies. Really disgusting when you consider the number of people who are destroyed by debt or die to pay for that lifestyle!

Amen

@christina, The Industry goes for European countries too. But our health care system is better. Insurance too; I never had to pay for insuline, and during my period of repeated hospitalization, I was never billed for anything. America should be deeply ashamed of itself.

Disgraceful. I hope we learn as human beings that the purpose to life is to love and help each other feel and be loved.

Then we must vote them out. Take them by suprise but stand them down

Maybe its the plan that we die …. There are too many people in the world so maybe all the conspiracytheories are really true that someone has a Dark plan

Newsflash the senators don't care about you either especially the left.

That part of the reason why I stopped voting.

You hit it right on the nail. They absolutely don't give a damn until it messes with there pocketbooks.

Stop blaming the insurance companies; they are not the actual problem. They are a business; it’s unrealistic they can pay for everyone’s medical costs, even if they wanted to.

I am so sorry. This is tragic. I hope things get better and will say a prayer for you. 🙏

I am so sorry. The system is disgraceful and the only thing is that it has to be disbanded top to bottom before a new system, more equitable, can be put in place. The problem is the country is so large, with so many people. Successful, well-run medical systems operate in smaller countries -- Holland, Switzerland, Denmark Sweden, and Norway are examples. England's, unfortunately, is overwhelmed by too many using the National Health and underfunded in many capacities. It had started off as a good system but now waiting lines for operations are sometimes a year or more. Still, it's affordability services many people without putting them in bankruptcy -- unlike the American system. And in the US, having health insurance is dependent on whether you have a job. If you have lost your job, that also means you lose your medical coverage. And even when you have health insurance with a job, it doesn't mean that it isn't expensive. I hope you will find a solution.

They only want to insure healthy people and only as long as they stay healthy.

There needs to be a smoother way to get the healthcare needed without having the industry turned over to government, who will do it in an even more inefficient and costlier way than it is now. Some people have turned to the "co-op" kind of method (not sure what it is called) where you pay a doctor a certain sum of money yearly, and then he or she covers anything your family gets ill with or needs help with for the duration of the year, aside from the major accidents. For that, you take out the type of insurance to cover just those catastrophic cases. When enough community people jump in the wagon in this manner, the hometown doctor knows ahead of time what kind of budget he's working with, and it can bring them peace of mind, along with the fact that the community can trust they've got someone covering their backs without major extra costs.

​@@staceyschmidt3149- Universal healthcare for all is the only way.

and the Gov't owns the insurance companies!

😢

She hasn’t turned the system around; she’s simply saying what all who’ve been at the mercy of the insurance machine has been saying for decades. Nothing has changed as a result. Greed governs this nation.

Why didn’t you have health insurance?

​, you are tone deaf.

@@speaktruth9313 income - household bills - school expenses = no extra $ for insurance offered at job. No one else to help with bills and then doctor wouldn't release me for work. It was a rough time

there was no Obamacare 20 years ago. Hilary Clinton tried to work with Congress to get some form of healthcare passed when Bill was President but got voted down by repubs.

​@@speaktruth9313- So called Affordable Healthcare is unaffordable for countless Americans. And even if you can afford it, you can't rely on it. It's an industry that profits more from your death than your survival.

No, it doesn't. It's illegal for an insurance company to put a lifetime cap on your medical portion of your policy. I'm not sure about the medication part, but I know they cannot put a cap on his medical benefits. So idk what she could be talking about unless the insurance company did it and she didn't know better. She can sue them. I'm a retired nurse and I was pretty sure, in the US, they can't cap his medical benefits, so I did some research just to make sure its still that way, and it is!

​@@JustJerseyJo95Her story happened before the ACA in 2005. Her husband succumbed to cancer in 2007. But her claim is that even today cancer specifically has too many out-of-pocket costs that are not being covered by insurance companies that can amount to up to a third of someone’s income. Also, according to HHS website there are two exceptions for limiting lifetime and annual limits for coverage which are for health care services that are not considered essential health benefits (your state determines which services are essential) or for grandfathered plans which ended as early as 2010.

This is an abomination! The US system is injust and inhumane.

Try billions!

The rich who abusively grab more money & power by spreading lies and fear behind the dysfunctional health "care" system as well as America's dysfunctional "justice" system. Just like a spouse being abused in a domestic violence situation, those of us who are being abused need to find ways to take our power back. Exposing the people who are lying and revealing their motivations will start the process. Thanks for recognizing the pattern when so many people are just blaming the victims.

Stop with this victim narrative. It wasn’t designed to rip off the poor; the rich also use healthcare. It rips off EVERYONE. It’s not targeted at the poor; it just affects the poor more than the rich. But even the rich can become poor with major medical bills.

No. It used to be the poor couldn't afford insurance. It was middle class and wealthy. Primarily for major issues that were likely to never happen. But, as health has decreased in this country, more people needed it because they can't afford it. Neither can insurance companies which is why they don't take people who are already sick. Until Obamacare made them. But, they still can't afford it or they'll go bankrupt. So, they often have limitations, caps, or refuse to pay out. If it went to the way it was - it would only be for dire situations like this and they'd be able to pay it out like they used to.

Accountability and transparency = Kennedy.

The insurance companies own the Supreme Court

Majority of congress is profiting personally from them.

@stephanytollefson9565 Do you think these politicians have health insurance with a cap? Don't forget, they opted themselves out in having that wonderful insurance called Obamacare, while every American was for Ed to take it and penalized if they didn't. Secondly, don't forget that all these illegals crossing our borders, are able to get financial assistance for housing, health, and food but we have homeless vets living in the streets. My family was told our sister only had a few days to live. When I went to visit her, my other sister was putting a wet sponge to her lips because they said she couldn't swallow. Shortly after, a nurse comes to give her morphine and put a tube of morphine to her lips to swallow which she did! So basically my sister starved to death.

I’m so sorry for your loss. Saying a prayer for you right now 🙏

I am so sad for your loss. May God give you strength and peace to help you now and always.

My heart goes out to you. ❤️‍🩹 Sending you hugs, love, light and strength. 💝🤗💐🌼💫🌟🌈 xoxo

My heart goes out to you. ❤️‍🩹 We are living in a very cruel world but thankfully the larger Universe is benevolent and your beloved Andrew is alive and well in the next realm where we will all be reunited soon enough. Earth is a school we voluntarily come to for certain experiences and lessons before returning to our true nature which is not physical! 🎉 I know how difficult it is to feel the apparent separation so I send you hugs, love, light and healing energy. xoxo 🤗💝🌟💫💐🌼💞🌈 xoxo

Sorry for your loss and heavy load 💔 May God bring you some peace.

My best friend's brother, he was an adult at the time, got hit by 3 cars and was basically left a vegetable. Her parents couldn't afford his care, the deductibles and coinsurance was too much for them to afford the care he required. So his parents turned him over as a ward of the state. This made the state legally required to pay for his care.

​@@JustJerseyJo95 You have lots of advice and experience with people in this situation. So far your advice have said the woman in the video is lying, that you're a retired nurse and I strange companies never cap coverage 😂, that bankruptcy is a good option, divorcing a sick spouse is the smart option, and now that turning over a loved one to be a ward of the state in order to get care is the way to go. 😮

@@maryarney1350 again, I didn't day she was lying but perhaps her insurance company was defrauding her or there was a misunderstanding. If you don't believe what I said about there are no caps, you can always do some research for yourself. You seem to be saying I'm lying, so before you start doing that, look up the information please. Sometimes people have to do things like getting divorced or turning someone over as a ward of the state to save their loved ones lives. I've seen it happen many times, it's unfortunate, but usually they're left no choice. Some elderly people don't get married and end up just living together because they would lose benefits that they're already getting and they need those benefits to be able to live. Like I said though, no disrespect, but you can always research the subject yourself. Have a beautiful day! 🙂

Why didn't they file claims with insurance company and file suit?

She must have been middle class. I had stage 4 cancer and in remission for 9 years. Praise God, I had no insurance and was signed on to medicaid at the hospital.

​@@sky-pv7ffThat's even more shameful. 'The middle class are who pays most of the taxes. The US will go bankrupt in no time and fail as a country.' We need to get out of this situation!

@karolsorrell827 Nope, I have the right to live.

What state was she in? No one gets refused in Massachusetts!!

I have breast cancer. I got medicaid canceled right after surgury. Saying i have colateral. Im living in my dead parents very old house, with insulbrick falling off, my roof is leaking, my steps outside are rotted. My furniture is from 1070 or older. My cars are 24 years old and 18 years old. Rusty, lots of miles. But welfare said I had collateral. I am on medicare A and B. I worked in retail sales for many years. My legs got really bad from other botched surgury. I have use walker now. Can't work. My breat surgury was botched so bad. I'm facing additional surgurys. I was charged 40 thousand for bloodwork and chemo treatment everything I went. Next day was additional 10 thousand for white cell shot. Radiation is expensive too. My Medicare a and b is refusing to pay anymore. Please other than welfare that canceled me, please tell me how to get help paying these bills. I haven't been able to work in last 6 years. Almost lost legs from other botched surgury. Please tell me how can i get help. No cancer orginazation will help me. $1, 034.00 coming in a month on social security disability. I have run my household on thst, and pay med bills, buy food. I shouldn't have to choose to die, because I cant pay for treatment. 😢😢😭😭😭

Well it left my son permanently disabled, failed to diagnose gangrene in mothers leg (she died a week later), failed to notice aunt's sepsis (she died 6 days later), failed to diagnose sister's cancerous melanoma, left me with serious gynecological problems (followed mismanaged birth), failed to diagnose hand foot and mouth break out in son's school .... thanks but no thanks the NHS is one of the worst systems in the developed World. We have spent thousands dealing with the results of NHS mismanagement/malpractice.

Me too, as an American living in England. I see 3 specialists and always get my appointments for treatments within a week to 2 weeks. I am grateful and would happily pay more for it out of my wages if I had to.

Just like any health legislation (Obamacare) or government program (NHS?), the key thing you want to get in place for the people is called (by quality assurance professionals like me) “continuous improvement”. By the time we finally got Obamacare, it was outdated and could have already had vast improvements. I don’t care if they call it “socialized medicine”. Even if you’re personally rich, unless you’re Scrooge himself who had no one, you have a relative, friend or neighbor who needs medical assistance, preventively or currently. It’s time the richest country in the world makes sure its citizens are in the best health and well fed and housed. It will be a better country for ALL of us. America may not have a king, but we have a very greedy upper class. We need the government to run health care with equal access for all and under continuous scrutiny for cost savings and efficiency in delivering the best.

​@@Julia-uh4lihow hard is it to become a citizen over there if you're lower income? My mom's insurance keeps going up. So does the deductible. It went from 2k a year to 5k a year, and now they're refusing necessary equipment for her surgery. She pays 1000 a month through her job for it snd she's a nurse. I need to get help with ADD and my autism so I can get the medication and therapy I need to figure out how to function as an adult without aid and can go to college to have a livable income. We're in such a bind financially but there's no aid. My state won't even offer me anything because I refused to have kids. If you aren't a single mother or disabled, my state doesn't offer help.

@flossy-kxBkg And yet when people, especially wealthy or royalty, have real medical issues they come to the states.
