maybe instead of robbing a bank he should actually read the OP.

i understand where this guy is coming from. i have never been to a doctor/dentist or any physician. it is outrageously expensive. a trip to the dentist can run you 2-6k EASILY, how do they expect you to be able to pay for this up front with no assistance?

Would you hire a 59 years old man with two ruptured discs, some type of "growth" on his chest and problems with his left foot? I think he need medical help before he can find a job, and how can he get medical help without insurance, which he would get if he had money? Did you just read the title or what?

What about the other 100 pills they spent $50 million on that turned out to be useless, should medical research be a pursuit that loses money? Maybe the cost is exorbitant, but how else will we puruade the best and the brightest to work for such an important goal.



Many doctors would not accept Medicare at all if they were allowed. They get paid much less than they would through other means. Of course when Doctors are working 110+ hour work weeks and get over $100,000 in debt from medical school I find it hard to blame them for wanting acceptable compensation.

point out the part of the OP you think i missed, please

also, you should get a job that provides insurance - that's what i did to remedy that situation



i legally would not be able to turn him down for employment due to those issues unless they would literally prevent him from doing the work he applied for - plenty of handicapped old men work at wal-mart



what's with people not understanding that you need to do work to get anywhere in life?

Residents. Surgical residents have frequently worked 120 hours in a week. They passed a law that you can't be scheduled for that now, but most still work upwards of 100 because they aren't paid worth shit and have a ton of debt to pay off so they moonlight to pay bills.

just a short question for those who think capitalistic way of dealing with health care is good; does a non-profitable person deserves to live? like a disabled person, or maybe a old person which doesn't have any money left, or maybe someone really stupid, or someone who is chronicly ill?
...
in the end all those persons are not making money and just bad for the state, because it has to somehow pay for them. so why don't you kill them? in a capitalistic way this is perfectly logic.
