“If you broke your arm for instance, your insurance pays. not the government plan. If you got the flu, also not covered by the government. If you don’t have insurance you loose your asssets.”
There are plans being sold with deductibles over $6,500/year.
Their buyers pay for their flu and their broken arm - 100%.
Add in $4,000/year in premiums and one gets $10,500 - about what a Western European system pays for an operation.
We need to reform the health care coverage system.
Obama tried, made some improvements for some, but has failed me 100%.
Well Brian, I’m covered by two single payer insurances plus my retirement insurance by my former employer.
Since I’m a disabled Vet, the VA pays for everything except an $8 copay for a prescription. After that, I have medicare that pays at 70% I think it is, and my private insurance pays 90% of what medicare doesn’t pay.
I like the single payer VA the best.
