Agree with John Joe on the socialized health care thing, as Canada and the UK share a really good system.

They share really good taxes as well

And here I am, living perfectly fine under said tax system...

You have a shallow understanding of your own healthcare system. You think because the money doesn't come out of your federal taxes directly that you are not being taxed which would make you grossly misinformed.

If a person with a family of 4 wanted purchase their own healhcare because their employers don't provide them it run any where from 1500/month to 2000/month depending where you live and what type of options you choose.

If your employer does provide you with healthcare it's still not free. Some of that costs are handed down to you and taken directly from your pay check. For a single person it could be 400/month and for a family of 4 it can be as high as 700/month.

Let's not forget the bleeding doesn't stop here. Everytime you go to a doctor there is a copay fee(tax) then when you go to pick up the medication you have to pay another copay(tax). Let's not even talk about the dentist office which for many procedures it only covers 50%(root canal.) Which costed me about 600 dollars the other day.

Moral of the story is stop believing in the right wing propaganda of other countries paying higher taxes for universal healthcare when the cost of health care in your own country per capita is more then double many european countries with less succsessful outcomes.

OP, your doctor's billing department is at fault for not preauthorizing your procedure. You don't just spring costs on an insurance company and hope for the best.

And there is no such company as "Zuffa insurance." This isn't Zuffa's fault, its your doctor's biller's fault.

Man oh man that's bullshit sir, I'm sorry to hear of your troubles. Insurance companies will do anything to get out of covering their customers.

NINERS76 - I sure wish that I could start a fund and ask for money if my job doesnt pay for something. You made the decision to be a fighter and you knew the risk behind it. How about purchasing private insurance at a monthly rate instead of always turning to the fans!

Judging by your numbers you are te one with a shallow understanding. I am married and pay around $100 dollars for healthcare a month. Dental is $9 a month and we get 2 cleanings a year each as well as 100% coverage on minor restorative issues like fillings and root canal. 90% coverage on major and crowns. I am very familiar with how the healthcare system works. If you trust your government with extra money to make the right decisions that's your prerogative. Sorry for hijacking the thread.

Looks like we are both disappointed.

Never heard of an insurance that covers what you claim unless your full of crap which most likely is the case. My wife and I both work for fortune 100 companies and we don't receive these rates. Your dental numbers makes sense but Root canals I disagree with.I undestand if you don't trust your governement but on the same token you TRUST an insurance company who makes their living by denying people coverage?? Good luch with that one.

What did I say that was so disrespectful?? Whats disrespectful is when people ask for handouts during these tough times

The truth about this is, Connor will probably be paying for this operation for years to come, financially and physically.

Someone needs to determine who authorized the additional surgery because it is a bit unfair to claim the following

"It's unfortunate that their insurance carrier chose to reject his claim for injuries sustained during his fight with Ryan Couture"

From the muddled information provided an injury occurred during the fight, the insurance authorized the repair of this. While being repaired the doctor noted a pre-existing condition which in the future could undo the repair he performed. The doctor went ahead and corrected that pre-existing condition and now the insurance company won't pay him for doing that correction. That pre-existing condition unrelated to the fight. They paid for the injury from the fight and will not pay for something else found unrelated to the fight.

My dental insurance is virtually identical to Jstevens'

And since we're getting our Fortune 500 penises out, my company is Fortune 400.

quit posting.  you're showing your ignorance on insurance, and what fighters have to deal with, while being a dick in the process.  the vast majority of fighters don't earn enough to buy private insurance with "fighter" listed as occupation and the fact you'd compare your job/insurance situation to his deserves the palm de' bitchslap award

and guess what? u CAN start a fund should u need it if your job doesn't pay for something.  karma will probably cock block u though

This... Obviously this clown has no idea how prohibitively expensive insurance for fighters is.. There was a doco on it recently and unless you're a top tier guy headlining PPV's etc it's something that many can't afford.

Have a heart

His numbers are correct,if he is talking about Canada, infact in Canada if you make below a certain amount, you don't pay any monthly fees for basic health care.

And root canals are covered under almost any dental plan in Canada, at the very least 90% covered( and most dental offices will cover that remaining 10% anyways)

Americans, unfortunately health care is a big money business, you don't need to search far to hear a horror story of a 6 figure bill for something as small as a broken arm or foot. I realize there are programs in the states that can help you with such a bill, but the fact That, that 6 figure number is working it way through the system to be later written off in some shady way, is scary.

john joe - you have to be the worst kind of cnt to work in medical insurance claims assessment; spending all day trying to catch people out on technicalities

years and years ago, right after college, i had a temporary job in the claims department of a large industrial insurance company (im a law grad). There was a huge class action going on, miners with lung disease against X mining company. Our brief was, find the miners who have solid claims - and who have been laid up with emphysema and coughing themselves to death - who have been unable to work, fighting their case for years, and say to them "look, we dont think youve got a case but we will settle right now, goodwill, for £10k" etc

these miners were actually due upwards of £100k each in most cases; but many were so broke and so desperate they took the chickenshit payoff and believed what they were being told

i lasted one day training, the next day working and the day after that every file that came my way that had a legit payoof coming, i phoned them and told them do not under any circumstances accept this payment, pursue your claim to the fullest. On my fourth day i had not long arrived at my desk when security came and removed me from the premises; the phone calls had been monitored

i had money troubles of my own back then but i didnt care, i couldnt have cheated those people like that and i dont know how these medical insurance assessors can live with themselves either. They disgust me. Money is nice and business is business but to completely strip all common sense and human decency from it is disgusting to me.

its another reason i support socialized health care; we have the system here in the UK and you dont hear too much about people getting fucked over on technicalities. Usually its overworked doctors accidentally leaving scissors stitched inside you or something

VTFU

This now the second fighter from Strike Force i seen say Zuffa wouldn't pay the medical bill other only got his deductable paid or something he posted it on this forum now to long ago.
