So CVS (owned by Aetna but that’s a different grift) defrauds the .gov for 10 years and ordered to pay it back, but nobody goes to jail?
Healthcare

Meanwhile, in Canada where they have FREE Healthcare....
In Oregon the insurers on the "affordable" care act exchange got a 10% rate increase for 2025. They are filing for another 10% for 2026. No inflation???

Democrats were on a really vicious witch-hunt with RFK today. Every question was nothing but a platform of lies about MRNA and Covid...
Say what you will about Dems or Reps...
I just wish Trump put 75% of his effort into fixing the healthcare system. Leave invading Greenland for the next president. I thought he could be the only one out of the last 8 presidents who could.
I am not in the medical field. But to me, should be simple to find the root cause and fix it: trace every step of the way and find the common sense nexus point of 'what the hell is this?', throw those people in jail, and fix it

Insurance/Medical/Pharma triad owns too many Congress critters.
If I had to choose the #1 evil it would be Insurance. They literally dictate to docs what care you get.
Pharma takes advantage of the situation and is the #1 lobby group by far.
Trump said he was going to reduce drugs by %1500
Ignore for a moment he didn’t pass math, he’s not done a thing as far as I can tell

I had a similar mess with billing and trying to get straight answers, so I started checking out Pedirayudas after someone mentioned it. It covers a lot of local healthcare stories and policy stuff in plain language, which helped me understand what’s actually going on. Found a couple of posts there about hospital billing practices that matched what I was seeing. Worth browsing through if you're confused.

You paid all that because you were to the Private Sector, if you went to the Public you would pay according to the earnings, or pay nothing.
Emergencies are always taken care and the billing, if there's a reason to be billed, is only afterwards and you don't even have to pay at the moment.
Nowadays Emergencies in Private Sector are taking more time, specially concerning kids, but the quality isn't lower at Public, by the contrary.
At what matters: Medical Expertise, means and methods the Public uses the best there is without looking at budgets or patient's wallet.
The system isn't perfect, but to serious or risky medical treatments there's no better system than the Public.
