@freemo @10X @snder Ah cool! I work in healthcare cost and quality reporting / health care reform - this is stuff I've been wading through for 20 years now. It's a neverending rabbit hole πŸ‘

@jaz

It sure is and always happy to see what you have to share as ive been out of thast particular industry for a bit now. I left it a few years after obamae (unrelated to obama care why i left the industry just not unrelated why i left the country).

@jaz

By the way if your argument is just that american insurance is a shit show, it is no argument. But id like to say as someone living with other systems too from eruope its also a shit show here. So dont lok to us as an example either.

@10X @snder

@freemo @10X @snder lol agreed, no-one has the perfect system for sure. I'm from UK originally, and NHS used to be something of a national jewel, now struggling.

@jaz

Yea i hear the UK horror stories. I just got spinal surgery here in the NL ... a lot of problems in the system here too

@10X @snder

@freemo @10X @snder yowser, good luck with the recovery. Just had jaw surgery here a month ago (NYC) still waiting on the bills to show up but the care itself so far has been outstanding.

@jaz

I started looking for a back surgeon in the USa but everywhere i went thry accused me of drug seeking and i wound u with no medication and in such agonizing pain all i could do is scream all day. Luckily some friends gave me left over pills to get through it but that expiernce, combined with the very high costs under obama care (it was high before but never this high) ultimately caused me to opt for dutch surgery instead. It was way better but the issue there was the wait was so god awful slow I'd often not get proper treatment just due to the wait.

@10X @snder

@freemo @10X @snder Yeh, thanks to the opioid crisis I got very little to deal with post surgical pain. Everyone's scared of getting on a list...
