2/2 @Scofisticated The choice is to pay the doc several hundred dollars up front for the visit, then they will provide an invoice that I can then use to pursue reimbursement from my PPO with.

Like I'm going to have any luck getting reimbursed from a health plan that won't even pay doctors in its network. Why do we have health insurance again?

@SubtleBlade

Don't forget that before #Sunak became PM while on a trip to meet the US govt he took a day off work to spend with US healthcare co.s

The #privatehealthcare co.s are rubbing their hands & profiteering about how much they can extract from both the taxpayer and from individuals who can't bear the NHS waitlists any longer.

The Tories want to see the #NHS die. They've been working at it for more than 30 years, we are living their vision.

Common questions about private health care — answered

With a recent poll showing Canadians are divided over privatizing health care, CBC’s Christine Birak looks into common questions about it, including patient outcomes and its impact on the public health care system

It's completely outrageous to think that provincial governments in #canada are working towards #privatehealthcare

In there lies madness.

PM Invited Seven Private Health Care Bosses To Discuss NHS Crisis 👀 https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/elective-recovery-taskforce-private-healthcare-nhs/ #nhs #Sunak #privatehealthcare

January 16, 2023. Good morning! It's Monday, we should remind everyone that private, for profit health care systems make safe, effective health care inaccessible to much of the population. It turns health care from a right to a privilege. Say NO to privatization.

Under those systems, numbers improve, because people who can't afford to pay for private care, private insurance, or who have complex cases that private insurance won't profit from are denied coverage even if they have insurance. Private is a death sentence for those people.

Low success rate, or high success rate but expensive medical procedures and paths will simply mean people don't get help. Private isn't cheaper, it isn't better, and it isn't equitable. Private systems are designed to make owners rich, not people healthier.

The purpose of health care is to keep the ENTIRE population healthy, to protect the country's economy from collapse, it isn't specifically to help individuals. Having the largest, healthiest population benefits everyone. Private helps fewer people, and hurts a country's economy.☮️❤️🍁

Doug Ford’s private surgery centre proposal will hurt hospitals, doctors’ college warns https://bit.ly/3Xmx4TU #onthealth #Surgery #CPSO #WaitTimes #SurgicalWaitTimes #OHIP #PrivateHealthcare #onpoli @onpoli @ontariogreens

Hospital treatment should be prioritised based on patient needs and urgency, not by the capacity to pay to go ahead of the queue.

#nhs #privatehealthcare #ukpol

So there we have it, we all knew this was the goal, even back when Jeremy Hunt was Health Secretary for Cameron. Run the #nhs into the ground, create a huge #nhscrisis and drive everyone into the open arms of #privatehealthcare 🙈 Then turn the whole thing into a competitive marketplace like the US has, along with all the inequality that goes with it. If you're poor, you're basically on your own 🤦‍♂️

" #NHS trusts with record waiting lists are promoting “quick and easy” #PrivateHealthcare services at their own #hospitals, offering #patients the chance to jump year-long queues, the Observer can reveal.

Hospitals are offering #HipReplacement from £10,000, #cataract surgery for £2,200 and #hernia repairs for £2,500. #MRI scans are offered for between £300 and £400."
