And there was a time probably 40, 50 years ago where you kind of charge what you want and you get paid.
So it created an opening in healthcare cost where costs were thought to be excessive and being driven by physician choices.
Oh, look at that.
All these administrators come in to help control the cost.
But what we forgot was the administrators themselves are a cost.
So they have not come close to managing cost containment to even justify their own salaries.
But the people making millions are the insurance CEOs, they're the hospital CEOs.
those are the people that are profiting off of the efforts and in reality the care providers that's physicians it's nurse practitioners that's nurses that's techs everybody collectively we don't account for even upwards of about 10 percent of the total health care cost so where else is it going and so the person that suffers so going back to your original question what happens
you need a surgery okay your legs on fire you come in you see you get seen this is a surgery you need now in most cases that's going to be fine but say for whatever reason it gets denied the insurance company says nope you as a patient have a couple options first
you appeal that denial you so you go to bat for yourself so now you're fighting the same entity that you're paying probably thousands of dollars in premiums to right yeah you're begging and pleading saying i'm living this i'm in pain like i can't do this so patients are one major piece of the the appeal process just to get surgery done on them to help them okay
The alternative that does exist, and now as we've seen these high deductible plans and stuff, the alternative is the patient pays out of pocket.
So that's really, and to be honest with you, that's what happens in Canada.
It's just those people come to America to get their surgery.
Yeah, so you probably know how.
Over two years for a knee replacement.
Right now, yeah, in Canada.
And the Canadians are probably going to flip their lid hearing me say that.
Because it's not necessary.
I mean, you can hobble around.
Potentially, yeah.
