Oahu woman gives priceless Thanksgiving gift
An Oahu woman blessed another family with a priceless Thanksgiving gift. Doctor Maryellen Markley gave up a kidney to help...
This is wrong on so many levels I don't even know where to start. But looking at the dialysis center Fresenius Kidney Care clinic in Missoula jacking the price up from $235 to $14,000 for a four-hour session just because they know they can jack up their patients who have no where else to turn is a start………….
First you lose your health and then you get billed by the filthy Greedy.
Then you have to give up everything and downsize because your income is worth just getting by. Social Security is nice but it's only barely enough to get through the month. Now you have to pay a Group of Pen pushers that enjoy million dollar homes on your suffering.
What Tony fails to highlight is how #M4A would make this problem disappear. With #M4A (Jayapal's bill is #HR1384/Bernie's bill is #S1129) there are NO in/out-of-network distinctions. All docs/hospitals are in + dental/vision/hearing/long-term care are included with ZERO premiums/copays/deductibles. Have you called your House & Senators to demand that they cosponsor these bills?

#feelthebern #bernie2020 Medicare for all
I work in dialysis, for a non-profit dialysis company. Im the biomedical equipment tech/maintenance guy, etc and I'm over technical dept for two dialysis clinics in my region. We use the same Fresenius 2008T dialysis machine. Cost per treatment is high and they usually ate dialyzed 3 times a week for 4 hour's each time. More and more people are requiring dialysis.
Even for out of network, the cost should not be this high. I can understand 2x what the insurance company pays , but NOT half a million dollars. How is that even moral?
Medicare For All !!!!
Payment plan 20$ a month
this is ridiculous
This should be illegal. If you have insurance you should be able to go any and everywhere to get the help you seek, need, REQUIRE. Dialysis or die⁉️ And prices should be the lowest available. $235 vs $14000. Should be illegal.
not surprised kidney dialysis is a cheap my mother goes through it herself and they charge about $40,000 a month if not more
I would just have to die, I don’t have 500000 dollars
The people get the government they deserve, keep putting republicans and moderate democrats in office, this is what happens.
Bandaids and needles cost 1000X’s what it cost them. Mark ups are ridiculous. It’s called, businesses eat it, or else just cut the guy up and sell his body parts.
Is this the much fabled American exceptionalism? They say you get the government you deserve. This is shameful.
US shitcare system.
Nothing will change in this country as Bernie Sanders said. The greed in this country is beyond redemption and it will a civil war to change it. Political
just book a flight and come to India.. you will get better treatment and care for 1/16th of the price!
Work for 30 years, the hospital took it all in 14 weeks. If US doctor said you do dialysis or you die I would be like thanks for the advice going to Mexico. Don’t you touch the US healthcare scam system.
And you wonder why Bernie Sanders is so popular
OBAMACARE SURE FIXED EVERYTHING ….RIGHT …SEND THE BILL TO OBAMA BECAUSE HE STOLD TRILLION OF DOLLARS FROM AERICANS OR SUE HIM MAKE HIM SELL A FEW OF HIS HOMES THAT HE GOT AFTER BEING IN THE WH
EDUCATED STEALING
Heres the thing – im old , fallin apart bit by bit , and i contemplate who i will take with me when i go.
I think the United States Healthcare System is evil. Nobody should be allowed to make money off the pain and suffering of others.
Medical need is a road to be homeless. This is America
Ima say it for like the 400th millionth billionth time do t trust doctors these days man but oh wells
This is why we need medicare for all…
The real question is why healthcare is free in all first world countries exept America!
This man has a private insurance, which pays for nothing.
People pay taxes, but get nothing in return.
Who sold this system to Americans?
NOW that's what I call capitalism. MAGA
This is why we need medicare for all!
To bad they are citizens. If they were undocumented democrats the procedures would have been free, care of John and Jane taxpayer.
Go to Canada to get treated
