This woman is expecting her first child. She has insurance “Why does nobody talk about health insurance and what a f*cking scam it is” With full insurance she’s having to pay hundreds of dollars for tests, hundreds more for blood work, she’s quoted $10,000 more to have a baby The doctor wanted her to have a minor surgery beforehand, she was quoted $5,000 so she can’t do it “So I went in and I asked my OB, like how much does it typically cost to have a child with insurance? $10,000. Average. What? So people are just like popping five kids out, racking up $50,000 medical bills? Why doesn't anyone talk about this? I've never heard how much it costs to have a baby, just to have a baby, without complications. If you have complications, obviously it's going to be so much more expensive. I don't know. At this point, I'm like, why are we even paying for health insurance?”

American is in tears because she’s been suffering with severe congested for years. She’s finally found a solution to fix it but can’t afford it She’s been paying her monthly health insurance premiums so she thought she would be able to have it covered. Unfortunately the cost with health insurance will still be about $6,000 because of her deductible and she can’t afford it “I just don't understand health insurance -/ My insurance is only paying $81.60. Giving me to pay out of pocket $5,918.60. What am I paying $500 for health insurance for a month? — I just want to be able to breathe.” This is a scam. No matter how they try and justify it, it’s a scam. Deductibles keep going up, monthly premiums keep going up, coverage keeps going down We need complete reform of the healthcare system Deductibles have gone up about 43% in the last 10 years and premiums have also skyrockets 45-49% It’s criminal

This woman is sick and needs iron infusions, her doctor ordered them but “service denied by UnitedHealthcare” She’s desperate and decided she would just self pay She has been told by 4 people now she can not self pay because she has UnitedHealthcare This is a scam “I cannot self pay for this service. I am not allowed to. I've talked to like 4 people. At this point, the best explanation I can get for why I'm not allowed to self pay for a medical service after insurance has denied to pay for it is that this health group that would be doing the service is contracted with uhc. So if UHC says nope, we won't pay for it. I can't even do self pay.” “I am concerned I may have discovered a new level of dystopian healthcare insurance today”

I've been feeling anxious and stressed for a while. Next Wednesday, I'm going to have an open heart surgery. I've been having heart issues for years (Aortic aneurysm in my case) and surgery is inevitable. I hope everything will go well and I hope to come back stronger ❤️🐇

Sen. Van Hollen to Trump Commerce Secretary: Carrie is a mom and was a federal employee at the Dept. of Commerce. She received the email offering to quit her job. She didn't take the offer. Earlier this year she was on medical leave for a major spinal surgery. She was fired, reinstated, and fired again. Her health insurance was canceled and backdated, meaning she had to pay for the surgery out of pocket. This is no way to treat patriotic federal employees who are doing the work for our country

🚨 “THE HEALTH INSURANCE INDUSTRY IS AN ABSOLUTE SHAM.” “I pay $1,500 a month for health insurance and my wife’s life-saving surgery still cost $3,000.” A married man with three kids just blew the lid off America’s healthcare system. He pays $1,500 every month ($18,000 a year) for coverage that still hits every family member with a $6,000 copay. “If all five of us go to the hospital, that’s $30,000, on top of the $18,000 I already pay.” “With insurance, my wife’s surgery was $3,000. Without it, $120.” He’s paying more to have insurance than he would to pay cash. This isn’t healthcare, it’s daylight robbery. How is this even legal?

US Health Insurance companies are out of control Surgeon Dr Elisabeth Potter submitted for one of her patients to have surgery at a particular outpatient center Without asking her or the patient, the insurance company called a cheaper hospital, asked if they had availability, and then scheduled her patient at that hospital to have Dr Potter do the surgery there instead of at the preferred center “This is insane. The patient doesn't want her surgery in a hospital. I know that she'll have a better experience and outcome at Redbud Surgery Center. They're calling the scheduling office of the hospital and questioning my plan and telling me what to do I can't explain how absurd this feels. I'm making a recommendation for my patient based on what I think is best for her. She's choosing where she wants to have her surgery, and the insurance company is going behind both of us and trying to make us do something different” This is what happens when health insurance companies aren’t ever regulated, they just keep getting worse and worse “The overreach by insurance companies is next level”

Americans no longer believe a good life is attainable “As a younger millennial, I'm really beginning to question when we're going to call it a f*cking day — We've been sold a f*cking lie pretty much our entire lives, and that this American dream is not f*cking attainable. It's not attainable. It was attainable for the older generations as we know. They were able to work their 40 hours a week and reap the benefits. Whereas we, we have to work 2 to 3 jobs” “I'm not f*cking doing it. I'm not f*cking participating in this — I'm f*cking exhausted. I'm exhausted. I have worked since I was 14 years old. I think most millennials are in the same boat. We've been working forever and we're f*cking burnt out. There's been many phases throughout my life where I've had to work multiple jobs just to get by, just to get by, and I have nothing to show for it. I don't have a house. My car, I've been driving the same car since I was in college, so 10 years, over 10 years, it's f*cking falling apart. I can barely afford groceries. I'm living with my parents because I can't afford to rent on my own. People say, oh, well just get roommates. I'm 30 fucking years old. I shouldn't have to live with f*cking roommates. I'm an adult. I was able to live on my own before. Not anymore, though. All of our clothes are fucking plastic. All of our food is poisonous. It f*cking toxic, and we're paying top dollar for it. I don't have healthcare because when I was laid off, obviously I lost my insurance and I found a way to work for myself, but I, I can't afford, I can't afford healthcare. If I do need something, I'm paying out of pocket. The list just goes. It's never ending. And I think we're all just at a f*cking point where we're, we're done, we're exhausted.“

This is one of the most heartbreaking interviews I have ever done. “She wants to LIVE,” the husband of Jolene Van Alstine tells me. Jolene had planned to end her life through Canada’s MAID program because she couldn’t get the surgery she needed after 8 years of incredible pain and loneliness. My team is working around the clock to bring to her the United States for that surgery. Her husband’s response brought me to tears: “I love her with all my heart and I will do anything to get her the help she needs. But at the same time, I can’t blame her…If it was me, I think I would have had a gun to my head long ago.”

No American can afford to ignore this, because today it’s this woman but tomorrow it could be you “I am still very angry. I am numb right now. UnitedHealthcare denied my heart surgery that was scheduled for Friday. Of course they wait until the last minute to do it. There's no way to get an appeal through before then.” “This is messing with my life. It's messing with my livelihood. This is a heart surgery. This is not an elective procedure. This is not something I want to have done, but I need to have it done because it’s already causing major problems. I can't work right now, and it's getting worse. It's not getting any better. — I'm out of loss. I'm very numb and I'm very angry. For profit health insurance is the worst thing ever.” This could be any of us if we don’t get drastic reform of our health insurance industry

American has full coverage health insurance for her family and they need surgery at a surgery center The surgery center confirms - The “price would be significantly less” if they didn’t have insurance - The cash price is not an option since they have insurance Here’s the most important part, the surgery center actually told the truth They said the reason they are not allowed to use the cash price for people with insurance is because it’s in their contract with the insurance companies. If they were to give the cash price, they could lose their contract and no longer be in network Health insurance companies are basically a cartel at this point, this is a racket

Medical Doctor in New York sharing her experience with her personal health insurance coverage She estimates she’s pays about $5,000 per year for coverage and hasn’t used it in at least 3 years So after paying $15k, she went to the doctor one time, was charged $300 out of pocket for a regular visit and then the insurance company denied her medication “I had a singular office visit for one complaint. My insurance didn't cover the entirety of that visit. It cost me an additional $300 to include some lab work. But not only that, so now I'm out, we'll say $5,000 (for the year) plus $300 out of pocket. That wasn't covered for this office visit because I haven't used health insurance the rest of the year. My insurance denied the medication that was prescribed to me” “So I paid all that money to health insurance. I can't actually get what I need and I as a physician see these stories a million times a day” “It's just absolutely absurd that we are allowing the insurance companies and the healthcare system to function this way.”

American has a health insurance plan with UnitedHealthcare His wife needed surgery to remove her gallbladder - Surgery cost was $15,000 - Overnight stay was $12,000 - Insurance paid $900, he must pay the rest His son needed an ear surgery, the cost of the surgery was going to be $11,000 with insurance. The cash price for the surgery was $6,000 “The cash price is like half of what it is if you run it through insurance” So he tried to not use his insurance and pay the cash price, this is what happened “I was going to do for my wife's surgery. I was gonna say, we're just not even using insurance. We'll just cancel it. And I'll just pay the self-pay price. Turns out you can't do that because the hospital will sue you if they find out you have health insurance because they make more money if they charge your health insurance.” This is a scam He says he’s not paying the bill because it’s a scam, “We're wanting to try to soon, try to save up money for that so we can have another kid. People wonder why the birth rate is so low, which honestly, I'm not going to pay any of this bill either. Like, what do got to do? Take me to jail?” “Number one cause for bankruptcy is medical debt. Why is it that it is just okay if in this country to extract wealth from people that don't have any? But if you're a billionaire, you don't even have to pay taxes.Because that's all any of this is. It's all a scam. It's all designed to screw you over and take your money. The people that have no money, they want to take more of your money and give it to the millionaires and the billionaires. Well, you get screwed. You get stuck with bankruptcy and your kids have no future.”
