Am sorry for that...I knew the guy personally. Am still in shock

people being treated with Hydrochloroquine haven't survived it you are talking of painkillers

Eminibaaleomomo:
This biggi is 25year old?

Timileyin1234:
no mind am, like say e no get phone to the prescription of the medicine to use cure it
That is why I screenshot every solution I see online

knowhowk:
Chloroquine Azithromycin and zinc Sulphate would have saved His life ,The info is everywhere online ,Those discouraging the Combination ,waiting for Nonsense Approval .Using the Pandemic to receive Donations would be happy that He died now .

ivolt:

Yes doctor!
Overweight 25-year-olds usually die of high fever and pneumonia while in ICU.
In fact, I read somewhere that their body is so full that no space for Corona to enter

yassinattah:

all these drugs have something in similar biochemically and molecularly except Azithromycin though it is a macrolide,it doesn't help with Influenza or viral infection so why add it,or is it because it can mimick the structural conformation and block the covid receptors from binding molecularly

Akpaamunsi:


But all international students in USA have mandatory health insurance. So what are u saying?

Nooil:



It's good you added most because I know for a fact that people without health insurance in the US treat themselves at home.

sonnie10:

This is not the case here. Every full time student is mandated to carry a health insurance. In fact you can’t register for classes without one. As you can see, he was a final engineering student in a four year college and must have had one.

sharpwriter:


You live in America....please educate the people about health insurance in the United States. Do migrants and citizens get treated without insurance or not, OR how does it work?

YungMillionaire:


You can not be an F1 student in America without health insurance. There is no way he doesn't have health insurance.

LordReed:


Bwahahahahaha! Yeah its easier to blame the things you can see than the ones you can't.

Aichmophobia:
May his soul rest in peace.
I can imagine the pain of the bereaved family...

What's tha business?

neurosci:


This is not true. It depends on the school. Some schools require it, some do not. I never had health insurance in my first two years in the US and no international student in my school did.

yassinattah:

Please which research did you do that showed that being overweight doesn't allow Corona Virus to penetrate and where on earth did you see overweight at 25yrs of age usually die from high grade fever and pneumonia while in ICU���

neurosci:


They do. In some situations, they may not be able to access elective treatments. But nobody shows up at the emergency unit - with or without insurance - and gets turned back. There is a law that prohibits that!

sonnie10:


Most likely, you were not s full time student. Also it might have been added to your total cost without you paying attention since fees were not paid out of pocket.
Did you officially waive it?

TheGiftedOne:
Too bad. Had this happened in Nigeria we would have blamed it on negligence and incompetence. Unfortunately even in the so called civilized country, he still died without even a fight from the medics. My condolences to the bereaved family and friends.

GeneralShepherd:
This is criminal negligence

neurosci:


No, unlike insurance, being a full-time student is what is required of every international student, no matter the school one attends, except in exceptional circumstances which must be authorized by USCIS. Several colleges in the United States have no insurance for their students, one of which I attended in my first two years. In such schools, international students are encouraged to purchase private insurance, but this is not mandatory, neither is it verified or required, just encouraged. Therefore, there's no way it would have been added to tuition, as the school simply does not have it. Schools that require international students to have insurance are mostly schools that do actually have their own insurance, where they simply add it to tuition, one of which I believe you must have attended.

And what do you mean by "fees were not paid out of pocket?"

sonnie10:


Out of pocket payment means paying fees without having to use credit or student loan.
Actually, schools do not have their own health insurance, there are always provided by private company for students in the school.
Well, the guy wasn’t an international student and as far I know, most student work and attend school at the same time especially those within that age bracket. It is very unlikely that he did not have health insurance either for school or from his job.
Personally I had health insurance through out my years of schooling, maybe because of my course of study. as we needed constant physical and immunization updates.

It would be nice if you don't make comments on a subject you have zero knowledge on. Don't say things based on hearsays on a public forum unless it's something you've personally experienced or have verified.

Sometime in 2018 I was sick and had no insurance at the time, I got medical attention first from an emergency room and then a few days later from a county hospital. I personally know a friend who got into an accident and had an emergency surgery, his bill was over 30k. It's not like this is free health care, no ER or hospital in the US turns you away; you get the needed medical attention and in a couple of weeks you get the bill in the mail

neurosci:


I never made any comments about the guy; I'm pretty sure he's most likely a US citizen, and I know his case has nothing to do with insurance.

Yes, I do know that a private company provides the insurance, but it is still the University insurance. Let me clarify this with a logical example: several universities use the insurance company Aetna; however, if international students buy their insurance directly from Aetna, it is invalid. They have to buy it directly from the school. I'm talking about schools that do require insurance here. So, even though the private company is Aetna, it is safe to say it is the University insurance since you cannot go directly to buy from Aetna as a substitution. You also don't make your payment to Aetna but the school. The school fixed the charges too. I understand what you're saying and I believe we mean the same thing, but a difference in context.
I'm guessing you studied nursing or something medical? Well, it's still because of your school not your major, because at schools where insurance is not required, no one is mandated to buy one, regardless of major.
Thanks for clarifying what you mean by "out of pocket."

sonnie10:

This is where you have it totally wrong. His status as a citizen has a lot to do with health insurance coverage. He has certain privileges in obtaining health care coverage which an international student doesn’t have. He would never pay same premium as international students. Even in terms of private insurance premium, his is solely base on his income or title as a student. Remember he is 25 years and can no longer be under anybody’s coverage but his own.

sonnie10:
Moreover, some semesters while in school, I had my private health insurance from a totally different company from that of the school, all I had to do was to show that it had equivalent coverage as the one provided by School and they never had problems accepting it.
