Can lack of insurance be detrimental to your health
Just wondering if lack of insurance in america can be detrimental especially with Hep C
I live in England all my hospital care is under the national health service, a free service for the rich and poor of our country ( and one of the best). I know we pay taxes towards this service if we are in employment but everyone gets the service even if you have never worked or have no income. I know this is not medical question but would hate to imagine lack of money(Income) would make a difference to the treatment available especially in america

Only the top 2 or 3 percent of the wealthiest Americans can expect top-shelf medical care. For the rest, second- and third-rate care--including being sold prescriptions and procedures they don
Prescription drugs and hospital stays cost more for than those that have insurance. Insurance companies make deals with hospitals and pharmaceutical companies reducing cost for members.
Hospitals now sell off their liabilities to collection agencies who then go after people's homes or whatever assets they may have, like a bunch of vultures.
The republican bankructcy bill makes it easier to pitch the poor and elderly out of their homes, if they were unfortunate enough to have an accident or become ill.
A retiree must save an additional $160,000 to pay for health insurance premiums during retirement.
Real nice system
Public Health is infastructure and needs to availiable to all, without the loss of everything you own.
You really cannot see the major problems with the current system?
The richest country in the world cannot afford take of its own?
No doubt the system will break with premiums rising at >10% a year, people will then demand a different more equitable system.

You say.......Those on medicare and many who have insurance cannot take advantage of transplantion programs. Thus they die.
Thats odd, i know someone who had a liver transplant that was on medicare and all it cost them was their hospital co-pay. If only you knew as much as you thought you knew.

This is a rhetorical ploy that involves making a true but misleading statement. Most people have trouble with reasoning involving conditional probabilities and you may think your little ploy takes advantage of it. Exactly how much was the co pay? More than 100 thousand? Did they have the money sitting in an account.
Your post is just anothoer bad example od the right wing 2 step. so prevelant in the US. Another example which I've seen repeatedly involves dishonest attempts to exaggerate the prevalence of syphilis among gay men; the perpetrators aren't up front about the fact that the "sample" in which 35% or so had syphilis consisted entirely of patients at STD clinics.
The fact is most people on Medicare are under 65 years of age and if they have liver disease, the probality that they lack any form of asset to pay a co pay from a transplant is far more reasonable than your shill attempt to defend a system that deosn't work.
