  1. We have a chiropractor in our town that will not take any insurance. He charges $20/visit (cash/check/credit). He says that is about what he would make after dealing with insurance companies – no need to pay so much in administrative cost (no ins billing, payment processing, claims denials, etc). Said when he accepted insurance, he had to charge $100-150/visit – and would still only personally earn about $20 for each patient :O:O He can run the office on his own if needed….& he will adjust children under 18 for FREE with a paid adult adjustment! :):)

  2. The insurance program being described in this segment is a co-op. Its unfortunate that the one example they showed was abysmal. I have been fortunate to be part of co-op insurance programs that were amazing in terms of service and coverage.

  3. Im from Germany. Our son was born 14 weeks early, he got 24h individual care for weeks, massive blood transfusions, a cardiac catheter, ultrasounds of every organ and brain every day for weeks, douzends of x-rays, blood tests every single day, intubation, artificial nutrition, loads of antibiotics and so on. Thankfully he is very well now.
    Our costs: 210€ deductible for the hospital bed I used for a few weeks.

    1. For comparison:

      I’m from New Jersey. Our daughter was born right on time with zero complications. She required minimal medical attention, mainly just checking off boxes and filling out paperwork. Total time in the hospital was about 36 hours. Today she is a monster truck among toddlers.

      Our costs (out of pocket, even with what is generally considered reasonably good insurance): $10,000

  4. I have a better idea for explaining Nancy Pelosi’s behavior. You see, IMPEACHMENT is for when we can get BOTH Trump AND Mike Pence (come on he’s complicit at least), then guess what…. The Speaker of The House becomes President, i.e., her (Nancy Pelosi). That’s one way to put a woman in office, I’ll give you that much.

  5. There is a a caveat that Cenk, and impeachment supporters generally, forget when comparing Trump with Clinton.

    Clinton lied under oath (in my book the biggest non-physical crime any person can do regardless of the absurdity of the charge, just don’t lie under oath) while he was president. Trump as it stands violated election law before he was president, something Trump and his supporters emphasize and plays to their advantage.

      1. TYT used to deliever all comments to my email address. Now they won’t do it, unless I leave a comment on every page. I could just leave an ‘F’ for follow, or I could write something else. This was what I decided to do to get the service I used to get without having to do it.

        I may change it up later.
