We will soon reach the point where the taxpayers have high deductible, high copay, limited network, restricted benefit plans while the non-productive class has free government paid healthcare with no deductibles, no copays, and a national network.
I fear you are correct.
We are there. I pay 5k with a $6800 deductible for a bottom plan. Those who are broke can get a much higher plan with no deductible and they don’t pay a dime.
