[NOT HAPPY!] Health Form Bill Passed

[marriott0.01]

Not all treatments are cheap. Some are very expensive. You have obviously been rich all your life so your thought process are very narrow when it comes to money.

A lot of the rich people atm and the cleverest come from poor families, so in your world, Sir Richard Branson and Lord Alan Sugar would be dead.

£1,000 is most likely the most your going to spend on any one treatment, and most people can afford that.

How poor do you have to be?

....
Do you have any clue how expensive treatments are? A simple blood test can be too expensive for a lot of people right now. Get off your high horse, you have no right to be on it as I'm certain you're just a spoilt middle class whiner who has been totally disconnected from the real world by over protective parents. Your lack of knowledge on most of the topics discussed here immediately relinquishes any entitlement to an opinion as far as I'm concerned but since I can't physically stop you from posting I guess it's a moot point.

I assume you're just trolling now...

What options do you have to pay for that? Because I know many people who are not able to find £1,000 just like that without risking not paying any bills and so on. Plus,. I hardly doubt that is the maximum amount.

Wrong and wrong. Please stop posting about things you have very little knowledge of.

well these are some rough costs

1. Intestine Transplant
Cost: $1,121,800
A transplant of the intestine is done to replace dead intestinal tissue with live tissue from a donor, often because of disease or the presence of a tumor. Because intestinal disease is sometimes accompanied by liver failure, intestine transplants can be done in conjunction with a liver transplant, adding more than $180,000 to the bill.
2. Heart Transplant
Cost: $787,700
Heart transplants are among the most complicated of procedures, carrying great risk. Waiting lists are long, and preparation for the surgery is lengthy and expensive. Add to this the expensive procurement of the organ, and you can see why the cost is so great.
3. Bone Marrow Transplant
Cost: $676,800 Allogeneic ($300,400 for Autologous)
Bone marrow transplants can be done with a donor's marrow (allogeneic) or your own bone marrow (autologous), costing much less. Finding a donor for a bone marrow transplant is difficult, and complications after the procedure are very common. Add to this the risky nature of the procedure, the lengthy prep time in the hospital as well as an extensive recovery period, and you have a cocktail for a hefty medical bill.
4. Lung Transplant
Cost: $657,800 double ($450,400 for single)
When other therapies don't work, lung transplants are a last resort for patients of lung disease like emphysema and cystic fibrosis. As with other transplant surgeries, wait lists are long and cost is high because of the lengthy hospital stay.
5. Liver Transplant
Cost: $523,400
As with a heart transplant, liver transplants are high risk and high cost, with an accompanying waiting list. Criteria are high, which means administrative and prep procedure costs add to the bottom line.
6. Open Heart Surgery
Cost: $324,000
With heart disease as the leading cause of death in the U.S. at 26%, open heart surgery is a more common procedure than may be expected. Part of the high cost of open heart surgery is because it's often an urgent medical procedure that is usually followed by complications. Longer care and follow-up needed after surgery add to the price tag.
7. Pancreas Transplant
Cost: $275,500
Transplants of the pancreas are usually needed when a patient has type 1 diabetes or renal failure. It is often done in tandem with a kidney transplant, almost doubling the cost of the surgeries at $439,000.
8. Kidney Transplant
Cost: $259,000
Kidney transplants, like the other transplants on this list, are expensive due to the risk, recovery and prep expense. The one difference is that with kidney transplants, the old kidney isn't removed because it's been shown it reduces risk that way; surgeons find a different blood supply to attach the new kidney to.
9. Tracheotomy
Cost: $205,000
A tracheotomy involves making an incision in the neck to allow the patient to breathe, either permanently or temporarily. Since this is often an emergency room procedure, costs are high. After care is extensive, adding to the bill.
10. Destruction of Lesion of Retina
Cost: $153,000
When lesions on a retina (this is part of the eye), also called retinoblastoma, are removed, the risks are great as with the above-mentioned procedures. This procedure is pricey because of the precision skills required for this procedure, the lengthy recovery and follow-up.

I didn't say maximum I said most likely And surely hospitals will let you pay with Credit Cards...

To the above post, they cost no where near that much.

I commented on death penalty? Please, gets your eyes checked out. First you say I don't post sources, not you said I didn't comment on death penalty? The only thing which I haven't commented on yet is that link. I will comment on that when I get time as it involves re-reading the thread - which is quite long.

Everyone should get NHS whenever they need it. Its not about "I didn't need the doctors last year so I won't this year either, so forget health insurance." You can get ill any time. Everyone should be able to get treatment and not worry about the costs. The stress of costs will only make the person worse.

Point 1: I never said you commented on the death penalty, I said how you have not had anything to say back to me because you claim i'm the minority yet most of my opinions (as the examples listed) are in the majority. You wont comment though, I once had to ask you a question 12 times and again in another thread you pleged to send the reply via PM, you simply refused to answer the question which was in a BNP thread.

Point 2: If the insurance was compulsory (as I suggest) then you would not have that problem.

I think I know two people who would be able to pay £1000 just like that with no qualms and that is my Nan who has literally no costs in her life apart from food and my dad's friend who just so happens to be a millionaire. Almost everyone else I know would have to either scrimp around to get that money together without it effecting them with debts or anything similarly along those kind of lines or simply not be able to pay it as most 'normal' people don't have thousands of pounds laying around the place. So maybe for the minority of people who could happily pay that the NHS offers a great service to those of us who can't actually afford a private health care service, like some.
