KHANACADEMY KNOWS EVERYTHING!!!!!! OMG!! SINCE I WAS STUDYING UP UNTIL NOW FOR MY WORK REQUIREMENTS KHAN ACADEMY TEACH ME EVRYTHING!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Regarding Medigap Supplemental Insurance Plans … they only pay 20% if Medicare pays for that procedure. Make no mistake anyone buying Medigap needs to know u pay these insurance companies a monthly/significant premium to write the same 20% check u could write at your kitchen table. Remember, If Medicare doesn’t pay … Medigap won’t pay and the senior will pay the full 100% as Medicare determines if a procedure is covered or denied.
Harry S. Truman was the first Medicare card recipient. He introduced this idea during his presidential term but it was passed during LBJ's term. That's why he's there.
I am on disability and receive Medicare and Medicaid. The Medicaid MQMB covers the copays that Medicare doesn't pay. However, it is becoming very difficult to find a doctor who is accepting new Medicare patients. There is only 1 in my area.
@amaniacwithacar yep, I smashed my wrist badly. Ended up getting lots of titanium and it cost about $80 all up (and that was for optional painkillers). Sure it's not perfect but you don't need to worry about going bankrupt (that alone probably literally makes people sicker)
Confusion Marketing Techniques (cmt's), is a phrase that comes to mind! This is crazy!! Like so many of the most important care industries in our society’s, these have become bloated & inefficient (Greed & corruption are often rife) It’s impossible to regulate these systems efficiently with the current approaches. (I believe there is a potential solution! the problem is getting enough people to listen) Regulatory authorities are little or no deterrent without a better approach.
@shmiggen quebec...and if you have good insurance it the states it's not so bad man...i'm american and i've lived in canada for about 4 years...just so we don't gone forever and ever we'll just agree to disagree i was actually in victoria last week...a lot of fun! but very expensive!
@shmiggen no i agree with you...it most likely will never be voted down and will continue to bring the U.S. into a never ending tax increasing death spiral but the same can be said for the canadian system...and i live in canada
TOTAL USA TAX COLLECTIONS 2015 ====== 3.5 TRILLION TOTAL SIZE OF USA ECONOMY 2015 =====> 17 TRILLION TOTAL SIZE OF WORLD'S ECONOMY ======> 78 TRILLION TOTAL SIZE OF MEDICARE & SSI DEBT ====> 120 TRILLION (no way, this will be paid)
Explaining how poorly Americans are covered by their public health system? A more interesting discussion would be who is only partially or not at all covered by health insurance and why? Perhaps discuss the real cost efficiency of these public drug plans. It is kind of bizzare that this discussion on Medicare (for the over 65) not only applies to a fraction of the population, it is really not likely to be relevent to the demographic watching this? Sorry seems more of a public service ad.
A young person should know that, if you are a U.S. citizen but live in another country and have not paid into the system for ten years, you are not eligible for Part A. B is more expensive than my private insurance in San Salvador.
If a man marries someone from another country, she probably has better benefits, even if she never works outside the home, than a woman who is a citizen.

Is there a way to save the notes that Mr.Khan is taking? They're written so nicely and are really easy to follow, I would love to have a copy

In case you know Harry Truman was the first person to receive Medicare card!

This is a great summary.
What's an HMO? What's a PPO?
Health Maintenance...
Preferred Provider...
Organization
Groups of doctors
Thanks for this!
wait so am I an outpatient if I see a doctor for a consultation within the hospital walls?
It's still considered outpatient, because you haven't been ADMITTED into the hospital

Medicare in Australia is so much better. There is no age restrictions and it actually works, you can actually afford to go to hospital!
now lets talk about the unsustainability of medicare and social security

@shmiggen thats a very dumb comment
Lord stop interrupting him or talking over him. Biggest pet peeve. Sorry I had vent. Helpful though! Thank you. Sorry - and no I am not a Karen.

@bitpri05 Yeah, who could talk about this shitty system in any other way than a negative tone?
