Actually, he went to a private hospital and paid out of his own pocket.

I see the point sailed cleanly right over both of your heads.

The vast, overwhelming majority of hospitals in the US are private and/or not for profit. Duh! What does that matter in terms of how they are paid for the procedures and treatments render??

Here was the point, even in a place with the most "socialized" health care system it had no bearing on his treatment nor his choice. Sheesh!

As far as him paying for it out of his own pocket..:dunno: Does that mean he doesn't have insurance or felt it worth his while not to claim it since they found nothing wrong with him??

It means that he didn't experience the socialized health care side of it. By paying out of his own pocket, he did not deal with any social or government program to pay for his treatment. Now, I heard his show when he explained his experience back then and he said he has no insurance because he doesn't want to deal with it. And because he paid out of pocket he actually got a lot of discounts since it simplified the process by leaving out having to go through any private or government insurance.

You know, how sometimes some insurors, even government insurance like Medicare, refuses claims? That whole claim process was left out. I personally have had experience like his, where I once had an accident, did not have insurance, but paid out of pocket for my treatment. It was MUCH cheaper than I thought, of course, I didn't see a specialist, but I didn't really need to see one anyway. Total for 3 doctor visits, 2 sets of x-rays, crutches, pills, bandages and medical supplies with no insurance: $300 to 350

So what will change for you or Rush under any variations of the proposed plans? Check-mate in 2.
