TopicThis 9 y/o Nevada Girl was Charged $1500 just to use a HOSPITAL SINK!!

When I went to the ER a few months ago I got a mucus test and a chest X ray, the doctor told me that I had pneumonia and wrote me a prescription for antibiotics. I was billed out of pocket $1150.

BUT at some point another doctor, I don't know which one, came into my room and asked me a couple of questions. I answered them and he or she left and that was that. APPARENTLY that doctor was not part of the hospital, but was independent and worked in the hospital under contract. Just because I spoke to some random doctor that came into my room, I got billed an additional $480.

And it's not like I had a fucking choice in the matter. I read reviews from the group the doctor was contracted out of, they literally go from room to room, talk for a few minutes, leave, then send massive bills.

Healthcare is a fucking racket.

Your mistake was going to the ER instead of a walk-in clinic or urgent care when it most likely was nowhere near a life-or-death situation, just like the subjects of the article. Next time, just go to a walk-in clinic if the problem is fairly minor and can wait until the next morning when it's open or urgent care if you've got something bad but you are in no danger of dying from it. But for the sake of people actually needing emergency care, don't be one of those people that go to the ER just because they came down with a cold at night.

I mean, all of those places did not have proper safeguards, were unorganized, and were based on reactionary movements so the leaders they put in charge had no business being there.

20th time is the charm? As if. Sometimes the best thing to do is call the whole thing a bust and fix the problems in the current system instead of trying to salvage something that's fundamentally flawed at its core.

Capitalism is fundamentally broken.

No it isn't. It's not perfect, but it has done far more good than bad overall, something no communist society can claim. Capitalism works for the most part because it acknowledges an individual's propensity to be selfish even when it is detrimental to do so, not deny the possibility entirely like communism does, especially in an economy limited by scarcity. You are just asking for another Holodomor unless human nature and individuality is finally included in the equation.

There's only one kind of credit card that needs an RFID blocker, and it's those contactless payment cards (completely different technology than the new EMV cards, but similar to ApplePay/Google Pay). Anybody that uses those RFID blockers and doesn't have one of the associated cards are simply paranoid.

_BIueMonk posted...
the tech is set up to be one use only codes that are generated upon using it, unique to the transaction

That would be the EMV cards I mentioned which are not quite the same as contactless payment but not mutually exclusive as both technologies can be present on the same card.

Look at who youre talking to. TC and the usual suspects dont read context.

There is no special context. Tibollo took a ride in a police car to a crime-scene and was wearing a bullet-proof vest as is standard operating procedure, and the leftist New Democratic Party leader tried to call out the fact that he was wearing a vest as racist.

TopicCE, you got any tips for apartment hunting?
Paragon21XX
07/15/18 4:49:57 PM

How much are you willing to pay in rent? Where are the areas you would be willing to live in (if you do not know the area and do not know anyone that can recommend an area to live in, check sites like Neighborhood Scout for a quick overview of general demographics)? Are there any apartments in those areas that you are willing to afford?

If so, schedule a tour to have a closer look. If it looks like a respectable apartment complex (decent landscaping, well-maintained buildings, honest-looking residents), ask about the leasing process such as if they do a complete background check, what factors disqualify someone from being accepted as a resident, and what code of conduct they expect residents to follow such as quiet hours and smoking policy (even if you don't smoke, whether they allow residents to smoke inside or make them step outside makes a difference).

Also another thing to look for is how friendly the staff is. If they act unconcerned about your interest in their apartments, you may as well not go with them. You want an office that is friendly and welcoming as it leads to a better experience when you have something you need dealt with.
