We may
see multi generational households in our near future because it is becoming ever more expensive to care for the elderly, and even our own healthcare. Many of us today have four generations alive in our families.
All that law suit money you got from suing those doctors and hospitals you will spend for healthcare.
I'm not saying they shouldn't be sued at all ever, but for how much?
It's part of the storm that has increased mal practice insurance and healthcare.
One example: A 76 year old patient had his testacles sucked into the drain of whirlpool bath in a hospital when the staff was lifting him out. They opened the drain before they lifted him. His attorneys argued that he and his wife's sex lives were ruined from the accident. She was also in her late 70's.
They won a court settlement of Two million dollars. of course their lawyers took
35%. The hospital lost the appeal trial. $500 thousand would have lasted them till they died.
So how did we get from zero co pays or deductables in the late 70's to now?
The more insurance covers, the more all costs inflate.
When my dad had his quadruple coronary bypass in 1995, it cost over $150,000.
Back then, the same operation in India was still under $10,000.
Why do you think so many Indian doctors are here today?
Access to good healthcare? Follow the money.
Is there a complete solution? I doubt it. Every nation with nationalized care also has private hospitals for the wealthy.
We're born, we grow up, work, pay taxes, age, then die.
The next generation does the same. Does anyone truly care? Most doctors and nurses care.
To any of those who do not care, or only about the money, I say, we never know, a black hole may swallow up the earth.
Bye bye Bobby, like She Devil Rosanne Bar's mother said.
