I guess you missed him speaking an hour ago where he wants everyone to get the treatment he did, he is going to use the military to deliver the drugs to our hospitals and it will be free to us.

Any comment on that?

This would be lovely! But... what does he mean by this exactly? Giving all Americans access to free or affordable healthcare sounds an awful lot like... universal health care?

Is Trump becoming a SOCIALIST?!

Thanks to Obamacare, most Americans have health insurance.

The deductible next year goes up to $8,100 out of pocket, but that's less than $100,000.

Thanks to President Trump I don't need to deal with Obamacare and his medical care would cost me actually zero.

Yes, next question....

The hospital charged me 250,000 for a car accident ten years ago when I had a broken leg, fractured face, collapsed lung, and torn open other leg. My health insurance dropped it to 125,000 with the 10,000 maximum lut of pocket being covered by my basic auto insurance.

So knowing that, the figure cited would actually be half that if the person was insured receiving that ttreatment or even less today.
Lets forget the fact that the overwhelming majority of infected people (up to half never even realizong they were sick) simply get some bed rest have zome chicken noodle soup and get back to their normal life within a week of feeling ill. Kind of like every single other year we have been alive when they come down with a corona cold.

One thing i do notice, which was also common before covert op viral intel deception 2019 went into play was that regular tobacco smokers or those in professions where daily exposure damages lungs over time always end up feeling worse than responsible adults who forego tobacco use.

These would typically be the same folks in the past who would flood the ER for lack of insurance complaining they feel like they were dying only to be told after tests that they need bed rest, some over the counter medication or prescription meds depending on how severely they allowed it to get due to abuse of their own lungs.

If we are really being sincere, the older generation would question how many of their peers they have known to pass away in the last ten years after a losing battle with pneumonia that would have previously been attributed to COPD, emphyzyma , influenza or bronchitis due to simply either being older with deteriorating lung health. Thankfully I'm only half the retirement age and i have not allowed internet signals to steal my memory by selective virtue signaling and abandonment of critical thought due to hatred of one man in office.

I love how insincere ppl can be on the nets as long as they can blame the man they are programmed to hate for all the worlds problems, or just their own. You all sound like the little Hitler's that used the same exact methods to gas, burn and shoot the Jews of the holocaust for simply existing.

My son is in college and they are passing it around like candy. They refuse to wear masks and have weekend parties in the 1000s. My son says everyone has it or had it and they ALL have the exact same symptoms. 1 day if low fever, 2 days not feeling very good, but not too bad, and 3 or 4 days of no smell but feeling fine. By day 5 they are all feeling/smelling just great. I'm talking 1000s here....

Color me surprised, it literally sounds like a typical cold. Too bad terrorist propoganda affects the memory banks of the ignorant and the hateful.

They could have picked any other year prior, focused on highlighting severe cases, and saturate the airwaves and print media with similar manipulated numbers and gotten the exact same results as this year . its rather pathetic people allow their hate to cloud their memory and voluntarily become a zombie propogandist in an election year where a former ruling cabal dominated by foreign interests is finally being held to account.

Whatever, come November there will once again be crow buffets in every city. Come january, oh boy will there be gnashing of the teeth.

The calculations are unrelated to 'Obamacare'. Whether or not Obamacare exists, that figure would remain the same. Healthcare costs have been skyrocketing since well before the ACA came into play.

Bullsh!t. I was alive back then, and I remember. i had affordable health care my entire life until Obamacare. My cost tripled, and my benefits went down. I couldn't afford it for a while and had to pay a fine due to not being able to afford it.
Feel free to continue lying, but don't cry like a baby when you are called out for it.

It didn't fail me...I got in to get surgery within a month.

I get in in less than one week most of the time.
The scheduling and pre-op is what takes days.
That means you DID pay for it.

Shouldn't be any surprise here, he is POTUS after all and will continue receiving world-class healthcare. Still, it's a hefty price and slaps reality back into this pandemic:

President Trump spent three days in the hospital. He arrived and left by helicopter. And he received multiple coronavirus tests, oxygen, steroids and an experimental antibody treatment.

For someone who isn’t president, that would cost more than $100,000 in the American health system. Patients could face significant surprise bills and medical debt even after health insurance paid its share.

Regeneron, the antibody cocktail given to the president does not currently carry a charge due as it is only currently available for clinical trial participants or compassionate use.

The financial impacts of the coronavirus disease have impacted many Americans across the nation, with costs for hospitalisation and life-saving treatment skyrocketing into the thousands.

The president was correct in saying we have the best medical equipment and expertise in the world, hence, in part, his message following Walter Reed about not needing to be afraid of Coronavirus. The problem is, it's about access which the vast majority of people don't have. this will change in time in the case of a vaccine, but we're still a while away from this according to experts.

The rich and powerful have the best healthcare in the world in this country.
The poor and lower middle that cannot afford the outrageous prices are SOL.

In before someone says the poor and homeless get free healthcare in this country.


Wrong.

Sure, they can go to the ER for life threatening conditions but what good does that do if they have stage 5 cancer or terminal heart attack. The hospitals will not help them one minute sooner.

You again????

First of all, a US president can't take one step in the public without hundreds of thousands of dollars in security and assets. What would make you think a hospital stay and medical procedures would be any different?

Thats why we have insurance but COVID if free healthcare anyway,

The fact is that most medical insurance carriers have voluntarily opted to cover most if not all expenses related to COVID-19 treatment (it's a very easy Google search). Even if they didn't do that, there is still an out of pocket max as a worst case scenario, which is in place by law. I think it's a few thousand dollars. A few years ago I was in the hospital for a couple weeks and racked up a six figure bill. Because of my medical insurance coupled with the out of pocket max limitation, I think it came out to about $2500.

Wouldn't it cost any American this amount? I have read horror stories about one tablet costing $750 and having a child can easily cost over $150 000. So what is OP saying that it only costs that much for Trump?
I even doubt that he uses anybody's money, considering he's got enough, he's probably going first class at his own expense.
Only the Obamas were stealing from people for personal gain and giving friends of the same colour freebies as if there was no tomorrow.

That 8k deductible would bankrupt a lot of people.

There are a lot of good blue collar folk out there who have seen their futures being steadily eroded by automation and Chinese imports, to whom those deductibles would mean the difference between having savings and being in debt that they couldn't repay.

What would the Nefarious RBG's medical bills cost the average American citizen?

The price of medical care in this country has gone nuts. There is no reason for it either, we could never go to socialized medicine with all the price gouging going on.

Lobbyists for the healthcare and insurance industry need to be tossed out of reform process.
We already know what they want. High prices for phat profits.

Will the Mexicans be paying for this as well or will the bill eventually be handed to the American taxpayers? Free....yeah right!

"shrugs"

People on this site are very fond of saying nothing is free. I wonder who and when they think this will be paid by?

I wonder if trump and his family have stock in that drug company?

Some are willing to pay for trumps healthcare.
Some are willing to pay for rbg's.


Others are not.

It's to bad we can't pick and choose what our tax money goes to.

Oh I completely agree.

It's funny the pearl clutching over Trump while not caring about the others.
