Restaurants do charge extra for the insurance premiums they have to pay. It’s not a line item on the receipt but those $$ are in there. 

Of course all businesses have insurance to pay......but it's reasonable and there are limitations to what that insurance covers.    They can't just serve up  poison for a couple days and expect to still see a profit at the end of the month.   

I swear, the way some of you pick at my EVERY WORD...... It's like politicians nit-picking at their opponents. 🙄 "He said 5 billion and it's actually 4 trillion".

Malpractice insurance covers exactly what it implies......and then some.  And you (or your insurance company) pays for it UP FRONT.

Nope, not even remotely.   

No part of my hourly fee is escalated because I might make a mistake, or misdiagnose and cause your boat to explode.....and then have to defend myself in a lawsuit.  

Grocery stores don't consider that as a possibility when calculating markup on retail items.  "Someone might slip and fall while getting this milk because we didn't scrub the floor.....so we'd better add 2.00 to the sale price of each unit".  

Restaurants don't charge extra because someone might choke on a match stick that's inside a French fry.  

 

Medical fees are escalated off the charts for that reason specifically.   

Answer me this then genius.  Where does the money come from if not a customer?

Ya’ll are blaming the doctors but it’s the government and insurance companies that control healthcare. 

And the patients themselves, we aren't a nation of marathon runners.  If we had true health insurance, those with high risk factors would pay more.

Every night I go to work I have to have people sign a form saying they are responsible for the payment of their sleep study.  Every hospital is a little different but on average its over $4,000.  Blows my mind why it cost that much, I know I'm not getting much of that 4k.    

 

Had a guy last week call 911 just to get a ride to his sleep study, because the ride he had lined up fell through.   He came in with EKG patches and an IV because they thought he was having a heart attack, and then he said I just am here for my sleep appointment.  Nothing really surprises me anymore.   I see DR's ordering total BS sleep study's because the patient has good insurance.   Had one guy that did 3 sleep study's that were ordered by a Dr. he wanted it done multiple times because he hadn't seen the PT in person before the study......why order it then.....Thieves

It's "numbnuts" w/ a B. It's also 1 word. If you insult someone, the least you can do is spell it right.

Reduced to spelling insults. You teachers don’t have to worry about Social Security because U you payed by the Guv Ment.

 Since we have a ton of undocumented migrants coming in and getting free money from the government it seems to be working against our ability to receive Social Security… You think?
