9k medical bill? What did he have? 1st class?
@Grim Reefer Women paid the rest of your bill in gender taxes.
Fxck Racism He said he was having trouble breathing! I would go too!
Fxck Racism he should have been tested and been able to have his test processed. Not because his symptoms are mild, but because if he was in contact with someone who was immune compromised (like someone with cancer or on an immunosuppressant drug) or who is elderly- he would have been able to tell that person. The issue isn’t that the symptoms for some can be mild. The issue is, if people who have to go the hospital all are infected at the same rate….there aren’t enough beds or ventilators for those that need it. This means you actually are in a death panel that Sarah Palin so wrongly indicated in the 2016 election. Doctors have to choose whether to save your 80 year old grandmother or a 39 year old mother of two who is on chemo. Get it together man. We are all here together…on this planet..,trying our best…act like it.
The current healthcare system is garbage , it only profits private insurance .
@Perciple Flavius even Obama said the American dream is to be like Trump. Your parents failed you
Trump doesnt care
@dweeds would you like to Healthcare System to profit the government. Learn to take care of yourself. your parents failed you
@Templar Bob Yes the government is responsible for the healthcare being so expensive, because they allowed the private healthcare industry to rip off everyone.
@Phatkillzif that is not the main reason then it is definitely a nice extra bonus. Keeping numbers down.
Oh man dont turn into a walker
Start coughing too and look tired. He won’t notice you.
😂
This is not funny🙄
He’d be far more interesting if he did.
Ahh America with their defect and disgraceful health-care system
@Christopher Haist I wonder when Gavin Newsome will become General Secretary for life.
@Dale Anderson I am an Independent and have voted Democrat and also have voted Republican depending on the candidate. I lived in a town with a large AFB which had part of the Arclight which had many B52’s and C130’s. Patriots are both Democrats and Republicans.
Dale Anderson I don’t think he is smart enough to realize he can.
@pinebird Democrats that take on commie idealogy are, and rarely use cap lock, NOT patriots.
Kelley Lolley that’s a lie! Do you even know what the package entails? You believe everything those shitheads repuks say, and that’s a damn pity!
We have a dysfunctional healthcare system. It puts profits over people. Why are the American people so ignorant? M4A is the ONLY way you can save people in this pandemic and during non pandemic times! Get with the program people.
You’ll never get through to anyone by insulting them. All it does is make them not want to agree with you.
Kendel Khalidashad, sorry as an American who has seen my fellow Americans keep voting against their interests over and over again, I have had it with people’s ignorance. It’s destroying the country!
9 grand and no test results?
Wow.
As a Canadian in Ontario I have no clue what my healthcare cost me personally it’s not itemized on my pay cheque, I think they do in Alberta but not sure.
When speaking to my Chiropractor she said paid about $350 per year for her premium and she make more than I do.
I just read $900 per year for a person making $200,000.
I guess the rest is made up from our lotteries, taxes on businesses and our Good and Services Tax.
But still that’s a good deal if you ask me.
9000 bucks for 1 hospital visit is the average total cost of healthcare for 2 people in Canada for the entire year.
}People, COVER YOUR MOUTH WHEN YOU COUGH AND SNEEZE!!!!!!! ANYTIME!
@lam pions 👈PEASANT LOSER
@Tye Jenks 👈PEASANT LOSER
No you’re wrong. If you cover your mouth with your hand or elbow, the virus will be on your hand or elbow. If you don’t cover than the virus will land on the ground.
@Doug Lei If you have a loose collar, pull you shirt front out and sneeze or cough under your shirt. You definitely won’t infect someone else. And if you are infected, logically you can’t infect yourself.
@Doug Lei The ground and anything else in range. Like a doorknob for example, which someone else touches and now it’s on their hand.
9 grand wtf? you basically asking ppl not to come in to get tested…gj america!
Carmen Radk “Targeting Corporations” ? Do your research before you repeat some fake news headline. Just because you got your GED doesn’t meant you know what you’re talking about
I just love that the Americans are soooooo divided even at times like this. Russia or China will spark something one of these days and with all the guns you guys have there, it would be the purge.
@Kelley Lolley You’re stupid. They want the best for the people while the trump cult members want the best for big corporations.
@Insider ASIA says the IDIOT INBRED LOSER 👈😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@Insider ASIA 👈PEASANT 😂😂😂😂😂
The US healthcare system is woefully unprepared for what’s to come.
No healthcare system is prepared. South Korea is doing well because of the severe measure they are taking.
@Jim SkarwYes, you can prepare. Have enough masks, beds and ventilators for a start. Don’t charge people 9k to see an emergency Dr. Impose a nationwide lockdown.
@John Doe both Taiwan and South Korea
Blue Dot You know damn well that you don’t prepare by having hundreds of millions of ventilators, and hundreds of millions of beds on stand-by. No one on either side of the aisle would vote to fund that. And that actor dude, with the $9K deal? That’s not a government charge, and why should he, and all those athletes getting tested ahead of everyone else anyway? How about the first responders?

Corona makes no discriminations famous or not but 9k medical bill? come on
@Philip Merewood 248769? wrong!
@Philip Merewood Yea your right Phil thanks man i was gettin all bumed out about what happen today thanks you gave me a chuckle for the day 😊
@Crystal Giddens +/- 10% give or take
Ur everywhere bro. Stop being scared and lift more. U look out of shape

Viral Marketing *now, do the math with the infinite variable called lies. You got NOTHING!*
this is how they are suppressing the numbers!
BINGO!! It’s a complete charade and he’s playing with public health in order to try and make himself look good.
@Ebros North Carolina? North Carolina definitely has cases the government officials I spoke to are worried about the numbers that are slipping through and will definitely start seeing ballooning this week and next week since it comes in waves. However, as a Dr. of science that has connections to UVA with great knowledge of how the healthcare system works, I would find it quite strange and almost impossible for a random individual to do a “concurrent review” of a hospital let alone two of them and get information pertaining to this virus and how many cases they are seeing in a detailed amount; even if that’s your job you would be only getting the information that pertains to the job at hand since otherwise, it would be a HIPAA or OSHA violation at minimum. The individuals that are not having their tests processed or transmitted out of the hospital to the oversight board involved in this data collection of Covid 19,, would not even count towards the hospitals’ amount of cases treated or seen; that includes the state count, local count and even contributing to the federal case count.
The majority of hospitals that are privately owned will be trying to fudge the number so they won’t have to exercise precautions or restrictions to their operations and/or they would have to file a lot of paperwork with the local and state levels when every case comes in because of possible contamination and cross infections to staff or other patients; basically they rather not be able to be sued for not taking care and simply keep making money.
Ebros just like in this case, patients are turned away because they are told their symptoms are not severe enough, but they are not given the covid test or if done after all, not given the results
No test results no infection numbers!
If you’re an insider, how many tests were done in the 2 hospitals your work with?
Thanks, to the Clinton News Network for propping-up Dementia Joe…
We can look forward to Another 4 years of Trump..
no this is how they are managing treatment, if your able to sit at home to get over this than do it!!! dont waste hospital beds on those who dont need a hospital bed. if you dont have symptoms dont waste scarce resources.THERE is no cure.
This is why Americans would rather stay sick than go to the doctor, 85% of bankruptcies are due to insane medical debts
@TJ W 3 Trillion goes only to poor people like you. So learn to read the Care Act
@Manny Amato People lives should not rely on a crap shoot of private charity.
@Layer Cake Arts Please call on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ while you have breath in your lungs. I’m sorry you are sick. We are living in a fallen world full of death. But all of this will be reversed one day, and by the looks of it, sooner than we think. Jesus, who is God in the flesh, lived the perfect life that we couldn’t, died for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day. Put your trust in what he did for you…just believe…and you will be saved. I will pray for you.
Also if I were you I would try to stop all carbs and sugar and fast and pray for healing. God loves you and can perform miracles. He knit you together in your mother’s womb after all. Have faith. When you close your eyes in this life you will lift them up in the next. But you only have one chance to be forgiven, and it’s through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
Romans 10:9-10 KJV
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
@WrizzleDVM meanwhile we’ve been waiting 9yrs. for the rethuglicans to even present a plan! So go #@€£ yourself troll.
I agree 100% with you.
The greatest country on earth, everybody!
American dream baby!! Whoooo!!
🎶 For the land of the fees! 🎶
unitoolzee. Or so we have been lead to believe. I would really like to believe we are but political/the super wealthy (in)actions speak far louder than words. Over and over and over.
And the most “exceptional”. Most of these Americans dont know the “bread and circus” system imposed on them to keep them ignorant.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa the greatest pond slime ( now with Dumpster do little ) . It’s going to take decades to recover .
wont see this on FOX news
CNN ain’t nothing but a bunch of liars and queers
R V 😂😂 good one, I have never seen Fox News criticize this greedy health care system
Wont see anything newsworthy on FOX news
@shyboi 444 It’s called obama care. He is the one that stopped service for people. He is the one that said everyone has to have their insurance but most people don’t have money to buy insurance. obama never thought of that. He told hospitals the government won’t pick up that bill anymore. Like they did in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s.
Tod Wilkinson ahhh stfu! People like you spew out words and have no idea what you are saying. Many people who didn’t have insurance were able to obtain insurance and that’s a fact I know!! Once dUmp azz got into office…many of them could no longer afford insurance
9k and no results? That’s why we have the greatest healthcare system in the world! /s
I think it’s incredible that he got a bill So fast, but they couldnt even process his test!

@Vernon Hector Cruiselines hire over 100,000 people. I’d like to make sure they get paid too.
@Vernon Hector All the money goews to American People If you could only READ you dumbass. It all goes to Hospitals and the American People. But the democrat want to keep the money their self all for pelosi and the other dems in congress.
Even before the covid-19 this was the reality for many Americans with Cancer, Diabetes and many others. This is why we need M4A.
@City Watchers
*You need to fix the problem, not cover it up with more money.*
*If you car is rusted out, a new paint job won’t fix it.*
@aman andom The democrats voted and didn’t want Bernie. I was for Bernie if he could promise Free Top Notch Grade A+ Healthcare to every American Citizen even if they have no money at all and don’t want to or can’t work.
@aman andom Also this is when Bernie should’ve stepped up and said his way of fixing this health problem right now. But he’s no where to be found and is not a fighter. He kept going on about how great he though Biden is. His fans booed him and he told them to stop. They did stop. He’s not a fighter. He has no answers for this health challenge.
@Tod Wilkinson He already said. He has laid out his programs. One payer system unless you want healthcare services for the Rich d/t than the one for the poor and no service for the poorer which is immoral. Insurances have no moral values, they live for profit, big profit by killing costly patients. Both D and R are for Corporates and the 1%. They happily give our money to the rich and call it Socialist if the bail out is for the poor.
This is why we need m4a1s
It’s so hard to do anything when you’re sick, and they have to go through all this is so bad! God bless you and anyone who reads this
God Bless you too.🙏
9k for a test 😱
Here it is free 🤷♀️ dont understand…
TheGrandy123 The test is free.
@Tod Wilkinson Obamacare was never perfect and not a single person said it was free. People paying $500 a month are those that dont get the benefits from work, and it was intended to provided care for pre-existing conditions. Trump proposed bill was supposed to remove all of that and also strip insurance out of millions of citizens.I really don’t know how you will blame Obama or bring him up to this discussion when Trump has been in office for over 3 years now other than pure hatred of the black man.
TheGrandy123 I paid $2,200 for a dental crown which slid right off.
The majority of hospitals that are privately owned will be trying to fudge the number so they won’t have to exercise precautions or restrictions to their operations and/or they would have to file a lot of paperwork with the local and state levels when every case comes in because of possible contamination and cross infections to staff or other patients; basically they rather not be able to be sued for not taking care and simply keep making money.
That’s why his test was never submitted or processed; most likely because they broke a lot of protocol and a lot of individuals as in nurses patients etc. would have to be placed in a two-week quarantine minimum and if any of those patients died because of their negligence they would have one hell of a lawsuit. The hospital he’s talking about is a private hospital in Atlanta.
Hell, for 9 grand I’m making my own damn medicine.
Crony capitalism will be the death of us.
Move to Pakistan its free medical and tests
👍
capitalism will be death of us
Then move to a socialist country
@NPClown I said crony Capitalism, not Capitalism. Crony Capitalism is a big corporation being able to buy a politician to do his dirty bidding. Crony capitalism is one man taking all the toilet paper for himself. Crony capitalism is one man shitting in the water supply, giving everyone E. coli.
