It’s not about ‘coverage’, it’s about access. A lot of Americans are what I call Functionally Uninsured. Technically, they have insurance. But, the deductibles are so high, they’ll never be able to actually use their insurance. Thus, they’re insured, but have no access to health care.
Dems want you to believe that insured =access.
Insurance is a relatively new concept. We need to get rid of the insurance companies and let the health facilities work through the free market.
If we as patients could deal directly with them, they should be able to tell us exactly what amount we will be billed for a procedure BEFORE we have it. NOT be billed per the particular type of insurance we have and how much they will pay after their “discount”
Exactly so.
Our BCBS policy last year had a $7000 deductible with $14000 max per family.
No doctor’s office visits or prescriptions covered, or co-pays, just 100% my cost.
We paid nearly $12,000 in premiums PLUS government subsidy on top of that.
Went to emergency room in early December, they paid ZILCH, ZIP, ZERO, NADA.
Then they had the nerve to demand even higher premiums this year!
I said NFW. Cancelled and now have no insurance. Will take the money we would have paid in useless premiums and put it in the bank for use when needed.........................SCREW THE WHOLE DAMN BUNCH OF SOB’S!..............
