One of the big issues with healthcare is that Americans decided to spend their funds on the latest technology that is expensive and not insure themselves and their families. Why do so when the govt. forces acute care for free. If you look at the hospitals that sprung up on the border in Texas you’d also understand massive abuse. Come have your baby, get free care and a USA citizenship.....built a real career for scumbag medical care “professionals”. Add the dentist when they get teeth.
I wish I could tell you the number of times my dad and mom told us that we could not have something due to life, health and car insurance dollars. Whatever is doled out free will be abused by those not having the common good of all. Illegals don’t give a damn as they can always go home when the money runs out.
The cost of that insurance has been oppressive for some time,the problem again is the government regulation.
Health savings accounts were the best thing to happen to health insurance that I experienced,granted they are not for everyone,but if you are in good health you can get a policy,pay for it and sock money away for catastrophic issues and if its not needed spend the money on something else,this after years of paying thousands on a health policy and never going to a doctor for anything.
Of course Obamacare will outlaw these when all the waivers and payoffs are done after the election
