It is covered sometimes. Infertility is rough.but I guess my counter to that is, why is infertility never covered by insurance when it is a medical condition? As someone who has spent thousands of dollars of my own money in that space it feels pretty stupid
we don’t all agree on thatThese are great philosophical questions and should be where the discussion is focused upon!
We should all agree that ordinary means of healthcare for all is necessary. What constitutes ordinary vs extraordinary treatment is where the real discussion lies.
republicans in general did not actually agree on universal care at allBack during Obama's first presidential run against McCain, it had been well studied that the US Public was willing to tolerate just under $100B annual budget for universal health care. Unfortunately, imo, there was a great opportunity missed to educate the public as to just what care could be covered for that amount, including care and financial limits, and hospice as a tool to stay within public financial opinion. Unfortunately, the education opportunity was squandered once death-panels were labeled by the Republicans, despite having originally supported the desire for universal health care.
Long-term acute care is another slippery slope. I think the bottom line is that healthcare, like any other good or commodity, costs money because people put their time into it (healthcare professionals, that is). We don't live in a socialized country, so it doesn't make sense that people's time/resources involved should be "free." End of story.
Hmmm well I don't predict that they will win. People have to pay their bills; they have jobs to take care of...the money has to come from somewhere. In case you can't tell, I don't support socialism.premed1875 said:not yet... there are many “progressive” (is socialist) politicians running for office nowadays thanks to Comrade Sandersp
You didn’t realize we are in agreement on this advice and financial mgmt necessary?we don’t all agree on that

and if the payor decides gramma isn’t eligible for a vent and ltac then the payor is now the death panel for forcing hospice. It may be the actually correct medical advice and the name is dramatic but duuuuuude, that’s what it is
No one's talking about eradicating Medicare and/or Medicaid. Some positive benefits of Medicare and Medicaid:fakepremed1234 said:Article 12(d) of International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights: created by the UN in 1966, ratified by 170 countries (not the US though)
Human rights are a covenant between the government and the population it governs, as a way to protect them from oversteps. Healthcare is a second-generation human right, something that is called a "positive obligation" of the government to ensure equality. The statement that healthcare is a human right should not be that controversial (imho) because it really just means that the government must provide a method of healthcare for those who cannot access it on their own: "(d) The creation of conditions which would assure to all medical service and medical attention in the event of sickness."
I would hope Medicare/Medicaid isn't something you would want to repeal (aka saying that healthcare isn't a human right, that the government should not be the ones providing that service to people who can't access it themselves). Expansion of Medicare and socialized medicine is a different story, albeit something that I am fond of myself.
