    • @andreahighsides7756
      @andreahighsides7756 18 วันที่ผ่านมา

      For the non-Americans, a prior-authorization is when your doctor prescribes a medication they believe you require, your insurance then says they won’t cover it because you don’t require this medication, and then your doctor has to write them a letter saying “I’m a doctor, they need this medication”🙃.
      United healthcare uses AI to deny claims so basically everything a doctor may say you need your insurance will then require your doctor to write a letter saying you need it.

    • @andreahighsides7756
      @andreahighsides7756 18 วันที่ผ่านมา +17

      Oh, and if it’s a treatment or medication which requires prior authorization you cannot get it covered unless you get the letter BEFORE receiving the medication/treatment. This means you may need to delay your medication or treatment, as well as possibly needing additional appointments for $100-$200+ a pop

    Back in 2016, the lady from my parents' congregation who used to babysit my sister and I was at the end of a difficult pregnancy and her son was born about ten days early. That's not a huge problem nowadays, he just had to spend a few days in the NICU. HIS SECOND DAY ON EARTH THE NURSE WHO HAD BEEN ON DUTY FOR 16 HOURS OVER FED HIM AND BURST HIS INTESTINES!!!! He was rushed into surgery but only lived another 2 days, thanks to a massive infection. Afterwards the hospital tried to bill the insurance EIGHTY THOUSAND DOLLARS for the baby they killed which their insurance UNC refused to cover BC THE FAMILY HADN'T GIVEN THEM HIS SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER AND INSTEAD LET THE BILL GO TO COLLECTIONS!!!! THIS WOMEN WAS ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED OVER LOSING HER BABY AND THE DAY AFTER HIS FUNERAL SHE STARTED GETTING PHONE CALLS FROM DEBT COLLECTORS! The hospital had also tried to get her to sign a pathetically small settlement when her husband was at work (yup couldn't take any more time off work or he'd risk losing that amazing healthcare coverage 🙄) that wouldn't even cover what she'd spent on her healthcare to have the baby they killed, much less anything's else. That's why everyone cheered the death of this evil man. Same if had been the CEO of a hospital chain.

      Aussie here 3 years ago I had a pregnancy with a condition called Placenta Previa Acreata. Basically the placenta attaches itself to the bottom of the womb blocking the birth canal and poses a huge risk of rupture which is a life threatening situation, aka similar seriousness of bleeding that of cutting your jugular or femoral artery. Aka 15 mins to death. Unconsciousness to brain dead in 10-12.
      So the birth needs to be a C section with a hysterectomy, to stop the hemorrhaging.
      However the more complex part is the separating where the placenta has grown into/attached. In most cases it's just the womb/ embryonic sac, vaginal walls. And in less fortunate situations like mine, the bladder and parental unknown areas due to both Ultrasounds, and MRI were unable to clearly tell what they were expecting beforehand.
      Now I had literally a room full of obstetricians, radiologists, anaesthesiologist, Trauma team for the blood recovery/recycling machine and urologists. There was 8 of the best Drs in South Australia. All hashing out the delivery...when, where, who, what, before informing us of the time, day, location. (We knew that the likelyhood of having to change to a different hospital due to them having the better facilities for this kind of surgery.
      Now once we went over the procedure, were explained the whole process, what to expect, etc and of course risk factors etc.
      Most cases is baby born prematurely at 34-36 weeks. Baby is fine besides standard premature baby health eg, lungs need steroids to promote them developing completely. And birth weight brought upto full term size.
      Baby is no more at risk than any other C section, premature birth. Extremely low mortality rate.
      Mother's mortality rate, is 13% but that is an average including old data from when we didn't have the technology and experience we have now
      It's more about 5 to 7%.
      This Average is the same in UK, France, Germany. Canada
      The USA however....
      Although they have the equipment and knowledge.
      They have a maternal mobility rate similar to 3rd world countries. With 30 to 45% only using recent 15-20 years of data. The 45% is typically People of colour or Hispanic who have a lowered recovery rate. But that is a huge % for a Wealthy and medically well equipped country. They also have ample supply of donor blood, unlike the other countries who have similar %
      Now considering I had the best of the best Drs fighting over who gets to do the procedure,
      A whole room full of the best of each field.
      It took the Dr.. an extra 5.5hrs and 5lts of blood 3.5 ltd of my own Blood recycled and 2lts of donor to stop the bleeding and remove the uterus and ruptured placenta.
      9 days post op, including my own room (ICU then on ward, in the acute recovery room opposite the nurses) Plus several appointments for wound care and check up afterwards.
      Plus 8 weeks of NICU for my son.
      Cost me $0
      In the USA... It would cost about the same as a family home. Just for a normal C section. I cannot believe they actually charge the mother $350 to hold the baby for a very brief moment after the initial check over, wipe down and attach heart/breathing rate monitor sensor pads/ and wrapping them up. It's literally 1 to 2 mins or less, due to the urgency of the mother needing to be put full under full Anaesthesia for the rest of the surgery instead of just the spinal epidural for the birth.
      That's also not a standard American procedure, being conscious for the birth and having the father/birth partner present. That is a extra expense and "privilege"
      That is added into the costs.
      Then there is the cost of the baby's care in NICU.
      The most expensive costs out of all the countries with the lowest positive outcome and overall experience.
      Unreal

      Most cohesive take I've read so far. It's too bad however that the CEOs of public companies are employees. They're subject to the limits of authority as defined by the board of directors who in turn represent the investors' expectations that the company will maximise the returns on their investments. IMO nobody should have been put in his position in the first place. He's a scapegoat for the system and a victim of murder. That said I have not looked into what might have been in his limited power to prevent this from happening... High pay comes with high risks/responsibility in balancing the interests of many stakeholders.

    US citizen here. I would very much like to copy paste many elements of your society onto ours.

More like he is everyone's favorite cousin. I think it may come as a shock to many Americans, as we start to realize that those in power here, should be far more afraid of us than we are of them.

    Also Finland has the best practice for helping homeless people get into housing and they say if they have somewhere to live it’s obviously far easier to find work with a homebase. Even Australia does have a growing homelessness crisis.

    On your question about "Why is there a lot of politically motivated violence in America lately and less random killings?": There are still random shootings, you just don't hear about it because it's not national headlines anymore. After 25 years of what seems like a school shooting every year, we are numb and apathetic. Political violence gets broadcasted because we're used to the random killings, and now more Americans are invested in politics than ever, not to mention the divide in attitudes across the political spectrum here regarding these shootings. The hard right loves political violence unless it's their own guy getting shot at. They openly train militias and want to overthrow the government and replace it with a theocratic dictatorship, but they keep winning elections so if they rise up against institutions, they are just hurting their own politicians. All the centrists care about is money so they have no idea why everyone else is angry when they keep winning in crypto, stocks, or whatever glorified casino they are into, and if they aren't winning they gaslight themselves into thinking that everything is fine and it's actually really cool and good that they are down thousands. They pearl clutch at violence, but don't really care and just vote for whichever party wasn't in office. The hard left ALSO wants a revolution but struggles to organize. Across the spectrum, there's a general feeling of hopelessness regarding elections. Everyone knows politicians are bought and paid for. They don't even try to hide it anymore.

      Bulk billing is a choice of the provider not the government; racgp has been doing its internal push of you don't earn enough thus increase your prices after both federal governments froze the mbs payment indexation.
      Racgp has been saying how financially hard it is for gps, whilst increasing there membership fees to the point of having an ever increasing surplus.
      They need to get rid of gp corporates and go back to owner operator style practices, bulk billing will then start to increase again.

Medicare used to cover it all, then Abbot wanted to charge a $5 co-pay, the opposition blocked that - so he froze the benefits instead. Now a visit to the doctor costs $86 and medicare reimburses $43. Meaning a doctors visit takes $43 out of a pensioners pocket. Tony Abbot did that. Not the Doctor.

You can get essentially 90% of operations you would need for free, if not under $1000 just simply by waiting, the level of care you get is generally the best in the world and again, typically free. The only people I talk to are people who don’t have it and just found out they have to wait three years for an operation or pay like $30k, or they’ve had it their entire lives and rare change funds.
    There’s a saying in our industry; “If you can sell health insurance in Australia, you can sell anything anywhere” and despite all of this, I f$@king love Medicare, and I would fight to the death to defend it, we are so lucky to live in this country, we really have no idea.

      Private health insurance rarely provides full $ coverage for hospital procedures in Australia
      It's a combination of Medicare funding, private health insurance payouts & patient out of pocket expenses not covered by Medicare or private health insurance payments
      Unfortunately some Medicare rebates are much lower than what private health professionals charge, especially in the case of anaesthetists & surgeons
      I'm all for the very best surgeons charging whatever they think is fair, especially in the modern era of lawsuits
      There should probably be harsher punishments for malpractice & sub standard care, though Australia is desperate for more health professionals given ageing & increasing population
      The other brilliant part of Australian private health insurance is that waiting periods are generally a maximum of 1 year for almost every health condition, even if it's a pre-existing condition, health insurers in Australia can not refuse to provide coverage
      This is vastly different to the USA where pre-existing conditions are routinely excluded from health insurance policies
      The USA has been a sick & unfair society from the very beginning, probably always will be.

      @ Medicare actually contributes a portion of operations under private health, but the private health companies actually cover quite a lot. I listen to customers tell me tales daily of their health funds covering tens of thousands of dollars for their operations, my dad personally paid around $3500 over a year and it saved him $78k. I know it’s cool to hate on health insurance lately, but it’s worth noting that the difference between what we get in Australia versus America is night and day
      Not to say you don’t get horror stories, but 70% of them are caused by the customer not doing their due diligence and checking their cover to see if they are covered for things they need still. At the end of the day health funds are businesses, they exist to make a profit, even the non for profit funds, but they will still save you tens of thousands of dollars in the right situations.

    • @BigPapaGanda
      @BigPapaGanda 20 วันที่ผ่านมา

      ​@SambucaMilkshakeI'm not sure that was his point. Yes, the unhomed problem in Australia is a massive issue that everyone should be taking very seriously, but the base level of care that an Australian citizen has is at least marginally better than that of a US citizen. I think his jabs were more in line with the absolute wealth inequality that you see in places like LA vs. Sydney.
      What I took from his snarky criticism of the US unhomed problem vs. The Aussie unhomed problem was that in Australia, at least, the unhomed folks can go to a hospital (and can't get access to loads of weapons), while in America, it's cheaper and easier to buy a pistol and a silencer than it is to even get a check up at the clinic. And that says nothing about the level of hoops the average American has to go through just to *get* a practitioner in their service network.
      If you're not American, did you know that even if you have health insurance, not every doctor accepts your specific insurance? So, even if you're paying $600 a month for private insurance, you might not have a doctor within a 60 mile radius that will even see you? And that's not to mention the wait lists for specialists out here. AND none of that is to mention that your insurance company can just deny you coverage if they feel like it.
      Another "fun fact" about American healthcare: Did you know dental isn't covered by insurance companies for doctor's, so you need a second insurance plan to see a dentist? Same goes for optometrists. Same hoops apply, where even if you have insurance, your local dentist might not accept it, so you have to drive 1-2 hours just to see someone who your insurance covers.
      Last "fun fact": Our insurance, on average, is more costly that ANY other developed country's Medicare equivalent to both the citizens and the government. We are litteraly paying a premium to have worse coverage, care, and standards of living in the pursuit of the free market.

Aggression seems to be the only language this country has ever spoken. In a just system we would need no vigilantes. This is not a just system, we must stay grounded in the reality of our conditions.

    The whole 'he crashed' story came from a flight radar track of a Syrian IL-76 that flew from Damascus Airport over Homs towards the Russian airbase in Latakia as Rebels started breaching the Damascus perimeter, and the radar showed a massive deceleration, loss of altitude, and then loss of signal over Homs which was captured by the anti-regime forces and could have very easily gained access to anti-aircraft capability left by the regime troops, or a IDF F-35 wanted its first air-to-air kill. That area does have GPS jamming and always has, but what got people excited was the fact the flight trail showed a loss of altitude and loss of speed rather than a dissapearing signal. There was also a few other smaller private jets running the gauntlet between Damascus and Saudi Arabia, but nobody knew if he was on the plane or not, and now nobody, including Homs locals, seem to be able to confirm if the IL-76 actually dropped out of the sky or made it to Latakia, and if so, was Assad on that plane or not.

      Well, we do have 334 million people to your 26.65 million, so it is 10 times as many people. We also have 90 people per square mile to your 3 per square mile, which would be more like you having 30 times more likely interacts between people with 10 times the total amount of people, so 300 of those events per the last 120 months would be likely. Now, cities, where that happened, do have a maximum general density to them, but the US does have several cities that are far denser than Australia's while we also have other well know factors to consider on violent crime, like education, poverty, and nutrition that we could quantify to adjust this, but with us both being developed nations in similar trade statues and have healthy economies that export similar resources (with the exception of timber and oil that the US is exporting that you don't have), those are approximately equal to each other other than poverty and one other: gun access. The US has more gun access and a higher rate of poverty. So, we have more gun crime, but it isn't crazy higher than it really seems to be than the number we already have here
      This is all back of the napkin, but it really would be looking like, 2.5 times that of Australia is what we are looking at. That's for mass shootings that make the national news and stick in the memory for 10 years, which does sound about right, actually. The Las Vegas Concert Shooting shooting and the Pulse Nightclub shooting would be the two that come to mind initially that I think of. There are a lot that could be a third.

    As someone is lower class (despite making $20/hr, crazy shit right?) I had to sell $3000 worth of audio equipment to get an X-ray, ultrasound and blood tests because of an already known calcium deposit on my chest.
    I’ve found out about it and got all of these tests previously, I have to say around 6 years ago. And I come in for a checkup, and the doctor was very stern on getting more tests done due to his “worry” for it.
    Well tl;dr my doctor charged me $3000 (after itemization) because of a worry that was already known about and accounted for.
    I could’ve refused, yes, but he was stern about it; showed true worry, which in turn makes me worried.
    I’d like to say I trust my doctor, but insurance didn’t even cover ANY of it because it wasnt considered “life-saving”.
    People need to wake up and push for a full reformation of our healthcare industry.

      You do remember how that ended, right?
      The French Revolution wasn't just one Revolution, it was actually closer to 15 revolutions, as each new government of rebels got their heads cut off by the news rebel government.
      And it all ended with one guy taking over and claiming himself Emperor, and then took over most of Europe.
      And installed his family members as the new ruling families in those conquered nations.
      Everyone always points to the French Revolution about what should be done.
      No one ever remembers that it basically was a failure because they ended up with someone just as bad sitting on their now rebuilt thrown.

      As the problem with violent revolutions is, it tells a people that the solution to your problem is to kill the ones causing the problem.
      Which means that when the new government runs into problems and people get upset that the revolution didn't end exactly how they wanted it to.
      They go with the option that just worked for them.
      And that cycle keeps going until either a better system gets made, or as is the most common one, someone with a strong enough military force takes over instead.
      It's why so many peoples rebellions end up falling into military dictatorships.
      As the people you want to topple a nation are not the ones you then want to lead it.
      But they tend to end up being the ones who lead it.
      ​ @ArcaniIgnis It wasn't them at the start of the French Revolution, but after they took out basically all the upper classes, they turned on each other over control of who would lead the new nation.
      They killed off dozens of Government leaders from the rebellion.
      Simply because they didn't like their leadership style.
      And again those rebellions ended up making a new nobility instead.
      As they literally crowned Napoleón Emperor.

    Important to note that Australia’s relative safety and lack of social issues compared to the states can be attributed to cultural/ historical/ geographical factors and institutions such as Medicare rather than over policing. Also worth mentioning that over policing, constant erosion of liberties and growing wealth centralisation/ inequality are pushing Australia closer to the American experience…

    I’m an Aussie ex-pat living in the US for 20+ years. The only thing I’d point out here is that the “6 people stabbed” definitely is in the news in the more local and mid level news. In a country the size of the USA with ~345 million people, 13 times the size of Australia, with some metropolitan areas with a similar population, you can bet you don’t see the same type of news. Not making excuses for the violence here, just pointing out that “headlines” don’t cover all of this stuff.

It only takes one look at the reaction of the people of Syria to see that, regardless of what comes next, they are relieved to be rid of the scum that was the Assad regime. I am not under the illusion that Al-Jolani doesn't intend to turn Syria into an Islamic state, the hope is that he will do so while instituting some of the basic civil liberties and religious freedoms that he has been intimating that he will.

    4:45 My two cents is that over two decades of school shootings and arbitrarily killings by both police and civilians have normalized that kind of extreme violence to the point that someone considering an assassination isn't immediately overruled by the rational part of their brain on the grounds of such an act being impossible to carry out or even just meaningless. After all, if some kid can unalive 20 people while the cops twiddle their thumbs outside, why can't you off that ceo or politician?
    Basically, i just see it as the end result of a long process of normalizing extreme acts of violence that is only just now starting to affect the upper classes.

    You talked about your bad track record with predicting the future. I think it's important to remember that even professional analysts, in whatever industry they may work in, also are often wrong. But the value in their analysis is not predicting the future, but to recognize and speak about risks and opportunities. A good military analyst for example, should never say "this is what's going to happen". What they should say is "these are the things that can possibly happen , this is the context that created them, these are the advantages and disadvantages of each of these possibilities occurring, and these are the variables that we understand to be within our control". So don't worry about predicting the future. Just focus on what could happen, what you want to happen, and why.
    If people really want to go in depth on these issues, another suggestion I would make is to look at what actually occurred and to ask do they match your predictions? If they don't, why not? Is it because your vision of the future was just way off base, or is it because other people identified the same risks as you and made an effort to avoid those outcomes? And even more importantly, if you were right in your prediction you need to ask questions that check how much you were right. For example, were you right but wrong in some way? Did someone miss an opportunity or not see a risk that you did?
    Even when on a surface level you were right, how is what you actually said in the moment different from the reality that occurred? Because no matter how clairvoyant you feel you may have been, you will always have gotten many things wrong.
