: I know 16 year olds on Medicare. Its not just for old people Medicaid is state sponsored insurance for low income. If you get SSI you prolly get Medicaid too i did av a quick look 2 day,and it seems that if your loaded you could get into the states,and you have 2 pass lots off test 2 get 2 the US"i did see also it is just as hard 2 work there for a year.we can see now why everbody comes to the UK as it seems they will let anybody in yep if only you were Mexican...

U.S. ranks #1 in trauma care, beats all other countries. But ranks 72, in daily medical care. Insurance companies, drug companies & a greedy medical system have made costs astronomical. If you have cash, you can get huge discounts. I had a $1500.00 MRI, done for $450.00 cash. You get what you can pay for.

I have "End Stage Renal Disease". I would die without thousands of dollars every month for dialysis and doctors. Medicare picks up 80% of the cost and the National Kidney Foundation pays the monthly premiums for Blue Cross to pick up the other 20% and I don't pay a dime US healthcare isnt that bad

Hmmm the reason its gotten so expensive here is because everyone is running to the ER with a hangnail and stuffing their faces to the point where they're having to double the size of MRI machines and such. England guy, you just have to take baby steps. Start with looking into what you could have provided medically by talking with various insurance companies. Hell, your brother has a legitimate reason. If the welfare moms with 10 kids can get it you should be able to as well. Research. thanks"he only see the qwack"doctor" every 2 years for a check up....my name for real is KEITH.and my brothers name is paul..we are sat here reading all the replys and thanks 4 all your help so far If you got entry into the States you would still beable to keep your British citizenship, you could still use the NHS over here. The flight cost could be less than the medical cost that you would have to pay over there.

hello keith here,i have a question for all the people on mingle,who are living in the states.i have a twin brother"paul",who broke his back 20 years ago on a fairground ride.he is now a paraplegic,paralyzed from the waist down"cut spinal cord". and we were both wondering how much it would cost him for health care in the states,if we were to move to america.so i would be very greatfull if anybody from america"or knows a fellow wheelchair user" to tell us how much it would cost.....keith Blue Cross and Blue Shield will take on individuals with pre-existing health problems. They can be more expensive, but good!

If you have cash, you can get huge discounts. I had a $1500.00 MRI, done for $450.00 cash. You get what you can pay for. I didn't know that we could do that. I argue for discounts, every where I go. Dentists pull teeth cheaper for cash. Mayo clinic stopped taking Medicare this year. You have personal ins. or means to pay & prove it, BEFORE they will start any tests. Friend had her MOM turned down. We are going back to the old; "Money talks, bullshit walks." Got cash, get discounts.
