Heh... Love the Streisand quote. 95% or probably more have never had a problem with bankruptcy! It is just the 5% or so that are suffering major sicknesses that overshoot their insurance.
Reality, if most folks had insurance but limited it to catastrophic only - would the costs go down? Does the Government intruding on what is required for insurance affecting the rates? Do any of you care?
Really, if you keep increasing the costs but limiting the charges that actual Doctors can charge (ie, Insurance companies and Government) you will get degraded services.
Note to self - stay away from Medicare or Medicaid!
You silly Insurance folks are missing the result of your efforts - by a very long shot!
We can agree on the whole insurance structure is cock eyed.
Obamacare has made it even worse because there is nothing, Zip, Zero Nada in it to reduce healthcare costs.
>> Why can’t we buy insurance out of state?
>> Why can’t we import drugs?
>> Why is there no policy covering catastrophic only?
>> Why there are no restrictions on increasing health insurance premiums such as rates on utilities?
Obamacare is simply wealth distribution from the have’s to have not’s, with no incentives for the have not’s to improve their situation.
I would have no problem with the Canadian health system. It has cost limits on everyday healthcare at least. One can always fly to Thailand or India or Costa Rica for catastrophic to avoid the delays if one has the means.
