Why should I? Your friend from the right pretty much eviscerated all the stupidity covered in your previous brain-fart of a post. PS - Farts are jazz to assholes.

having an RN you can call for free anytime would seriously cut down on a lot of trips to the ER for unnecessary things.
there's a reason why triage lines already exist.

I actually agree brother. It totally would. I was searching for some humor in the sadness. I fail. ::::hangshead-skulks-away-to-time-out::::

So you think that someone should be able tell you, as an insurance company owner, who and what you can insure, and how much to charge ?

Correct, but would i be safe to say that they work for the insurance companies and their estimates are not set in stone.

You cannot diagnose people over the phone unfortunatly

It's tough. But, I firmly believe the guy who gets his balls caught in a rat-trap can probably diagnose himself over the phone.
Other infirmities, however, I imagine would be a lot tougher to diagnose via Ma Bell.

Let's just say experimentation has lead me down some interesting roads.

not it's not.
medicaid is NOT a solution
those who are employed but barely scraping by, or those with no kids who simply dont qualify, the insurance market is even tougher now, since they have us over a barrel.
if i couldnt afford ~$120/month for a policy last year, why do you suspect i can afford ~$150/ month now?

I don't do welfare, of any kind. I have been to the dr 4 times in last 2 decades and I have paid out of my pocket. I know how to take care of myself so other people don't have to pick up the tab. It's called self accountability.

I heard bronze package is only like $2 a month for a 2 person household making $30,000 or less.
EDIT: This include co-payments on meds and etc. cheap deductible....yadda yadda (all this in my area code)

i was just being facetious, true. and while their estimates may not be set in stone, their formulas pretty much are.
you can treat symptoms and, i have even had a prescription for a muscle relaxant made over the phone since no doctor appointment was available for 3 weeks (yay, private insurance!).
you can at least keep some of the riff raff away from the ER. imagine video triage via skype. RNs, EMTs, PAs, and MDs on every call floor. call centers at the national, state, county, or local levels. you just need a building and some phones and computers. easy stuff.

i heard some people think cucumbers taste better pickled.
the subsidies and "bronze plans" and all the rest of the crap doesnt change shit.
i looked at insurance costs last year, and i couldnt afford it, now they are even more, and the plans offered which i COULD afford are BULLSHIT.
even $2/month for a plan that doesnt do shit is $2/month wasted.
tell ya what, you send me $1/month and ill say a prayer for your good health, and light a candle for you. if you get sick or injured afterwards, not my problem, it was God's Will that you suffer for your sins.
