So for patients going to the USNS Comfort or USNS Mercy, for Corona, who's going to foot that bill? It's not like the Navy is going to bill you. So for patients who are sick and go to a private hospital, they get to go bankrupt, but if you go to the Navy, you'll get it for free..
people love posting this to be edgy and trendy but I hope that tha sick assholes who did this have paid with their lives, this is much worse than the chinks with the dogs. POL should solve this crime

We'll have de-regulated medicine before we have socialized medicine. Free market solutions are more efficient than socialized solutions and provide superior outcomes.
Leo Roberts
>It's not like the Navy is going to bill you. lmao, are you new here or something? the navy will absolutely bill them
Robert Carter
>you get to live if you can pay Yes, I can't wait to see who can live on a ventilator for 2 weeks and pay for it out of pocket.
Logan Jones
Exactly how are they going to calculate the billing rates? its not like the Navy has worked with insurance, or know's it operational costs for something like this. It's something they don't have it structure to track like a regular hospital.
Ryder Sullivan
>Ventilator Ventilators are contra-indicated for COVID, dummy.
Eli Gutierrez
Fake and gay. Non-CCPvirus folks are being moved to the naval hospitals to make room in civvy hospitals. Also, the military is part of the federal government, and they will charge you for expenses unless they've been ordered not to. Ignorant slidethread = sage
Aaron Myers
Of course a shill pushing socialized medicine is also pushing a treatment meant as an ineffective cost center.
Adrian Barnes
nooooo not the heckin niggerinos!!!!
James Jones
your retarded as fuck. corona patiens are already getting 30k bills in the mail for their treatments. tick tock.
Robert Campbell
>corona patients are getting 30k bills Any proof of this?
Camden Morris
Are you implying the US Navy is socialist?
Asher Long
>its not like the Navy has worked with insurance Tricare
nothing is free you retards. socialized medicine fags think their trip to their weekly penis inspection is free. no it's not your people get taxes for it
Henry Stewart
>Non-Trump aids folks are being moved to the naval hospitals to make room in civvy hospitals
Thats literally besides the point you MAGA faggot shill
The issue is who foots the bill and your non-answer to that is literally "someone unless its not someone"
Juan Wright
HM, do you verify your sources, or just believe any old cabal rag?
The QBoomer retreats into conspiracy land when faced with facts that contradict his views.
You people are truly pathetic.
Easton Parker
Last time the comfort was in new york was in 9/11. Also if you need to be on that ship you might already be dead. Also >your ass is now property of the fucking navy when you set foot on this ship.
Corona patients are going to normal hospitals, people who are experiemcimg symptoms of corona are not allowed on board the USNS Ships.
Caleb Cook
Let's dig a little. >The Hill was founded in 1994 under the company News Communications, Inc. Jerry Finkelstein, the former publisher of the New York Law Journal and The National Law Journal, was the primary shareholder of the company. New York Democratic Representative Gary L. Ackerman was a major shareholder of News Communications. So...thehill.com is pretty much NYCDNC buying up papers and printing whatever information is most convenient to NYCDNC...$20 treatments for COVID seem to be against the interests of NYCDNC, why?
>Time is an American weekly news magazine and news website published based in New York City. It was first published based in New York City on March 3, 1923 and for many years it was run by its influential co-founder Henry Luce. NY establishment megaphone yet again.
>corona patients are getting 30k bills Do you have a fact-checked source which isn't financially biased towards NY establishment types, user?
Landon Diaz
Civilian on a military Base gets hurt in let us say a car accident, does the Base kick them off Base to a Civilian Hospital, NO, the Base treats them and Bills them or their Insurance, just like any other Hospital or foreign Country does. OP is a dolt

The hasbara conscript retreats into identity and credibility attacks on an anonymous shitposting board. Not very well trained. Doing a very sloppy job.
Gabriel Nelson
Lol just call ICE on the bad hombres in your area. These guys could be anywhere it's just another tick in the lands of a former Iberian colony.
Logan Moore
It’s not like the military is spending any more or less money than usual by doing this user. You probably have to go through a private hospital before getting put on the navy ship anyways, the hospital will still get its shekels.
Gavin Perry
Hospitals already charge people $5,000 for a few bandages and some rubbing alcohol. You really think they're beneath charging $30k for this?
Gonna need some source on this. Most hospital visits for non-emergency services range in the $100-$2000 depending on the severity of condition. This typo is god punishing you for lying.
>>Most hospital visits for non-emergency services range in the $100-$2000 depending on the severity of condition.
That's my point, user. If you have an actual medical emergency, it WILL cost thousands of dollars. Getting bat flu will be just such an emergency for all of the fat, elderly people here.
Joseph Sullivan
Life is risky. Risk can be underwritten with insurance. Otherwise, you really should keep at least a pound of silver in reserve to underwrite medical risk. Conserving resources is a survival skill, you know?
Joseph Miller
no one with the beijing bat lung is going to go on the comfort the comfort is for people with regular medical issues like a broken leg so that the on land hospitals can be emptied for kung flu patients
Brayden Brown
>Getting bat flu will be just such an emergency for all of the fat, elderly people here. This is why we're all thankful Obama's legacy was thrown right back into the trash.
Isaac King
Watching Americans worry about who's going to pay for care is hilarious! Who knew that your shitty, ((()))berg healthcare would be the chink in your armour?
> Strongest military > Mightiest of economies > Outstanding foreign influence And yet, a faggot little virus is all that it takes to completely fuck you guys over. You people would literally watch half your country die rather than some hobo receive healthcare for free.

Colton Thomas
I bet your great grandfather bought snake oil too.
Jaxson Robinson
It was a bio-weapon. The USA was left vulnerable to certain bio-attacks on purpose - by the traitors who previously held power.
The cost is paid in the damage to the economy and the lives lost. Seriously user, this is basic economics. There is no such thing as a free lunch.
Brody Hall
Have you ever even tried snake oil? For some reason a small conspiracy developed around ensuring that only the most profitable cures went to market. Have you not studied the history of the 1900s? PROTIP: the active ingredient in snake oil isn't snake, its pilpul.
I have the money for treatment in the form of cash.
Fortunately for me, that money is in a safe rather than a bank.
If I get sick, I'm not paying a dime. "Sorry Dr. Kikelstein, I haz no monies."
Colton Ramirez
private healthcare can and does live alongside socialised healthcare. One doesn't preclude the other. You can still buy health insurance in the UK and go to private hospitals. And the premiums and costs are still much cheaper than in the US.
Jason Phillips
Except that socialized healthcare is a waste of time and money which invariably lowers the quality of care across the board. Socialized medicine has been thoroughly rejected by Americans because free market solutions are more efficient and provide better outcomes.
Henry Carter
>Socialized medicine has been thoroughly rejected by Americans because free market solutions are more efficient and provide better outcomes.
It provides high quality care that is available to the vast minority of the population.
The UK version provides both medium quality available to the entire population AND high quality to the few.
Why does government backed healthcare lower the quality of for-profit healthcare?
Juan Cruz
It doesn't matter what sources i quote because QBoomers don't believe them anyway. Theres always some conspiracy reason for why the source cant be trusted. That's the genious of the Q conspiracy theory is nothing can be verified or proven and all sources just get written off as deepstate cabal. It's really not suprising so many gullible people like yourself have been taken in by it.
Liam Jones
yes being bankrupted for simple medical treatment is far more efficient and better than the european system. look i realize that for rich people like yourself it appears great because you can actually afford it but for everyone else it's a nightmare.
Nolan Richardson
But we don't have free market medicine.
The American Medical Association is basically a guild. It exists to keep the number of physicians artificially low, and salaries artificially high. This is why even the most trivial medical procedure costs thousands of dollars.
Daniel Torres
the Mercy is for the world, it helps everyone. what the fuck is wrong with you lol yes i apologize on behalf of the american taxpayer for fielding an advanced ship that carries medical treatment and supplies around the world..
Isaiah Mitchell
If Americans weren't completely retarded, they'd realize that (within limits) socialized medicine pays for itself through a healthier, longer-lived, more productive workforce.
It's not a handout to the poor. It's an investment.
Nathaniel Robinson
Government is run by corrupted officials who's actual interest is nowhere near a good medical outcome. So we MUST keep government far and away from any and all medicine. Sources matter. You haven't posted any verifiable sources, so I can't accept your 'proof' Get rid of the guild, remove the regulation, and medicine becomes commonplace. There is ZERO reason for AMA to exist or be given any official credence.
