Actually, I think that might be a good thing. If we are buying it ourselves, it may affect packages/pricing offered.
As much as I HATE the whole “healthcare reform” crap, I must say that insurance companies haven’t done much to help their cause, and even got into bed with the administration with the promise of all these new subscribers. Now they will find out that you just can’t trust a bunch of liars.
another thing that drives me crazy.........
group plans used to cover only major medical (hospital stays) and catastrophic illnesses/injuries.
Now, when you visit a doctor, the insurance picks up the majority of the bill, you pay just a copay. Oddly enough, when I was young, my family still found a way to take me to the doctors when it was needed even though someone else was paying the bill. It wasn’t in my parents budget, either. But now, the nation has become all about “gimme gimme”, few people are willing to do anything for themselves, just waiting for someone “else” to do it for them. It seems that so few are willing to make any type of sacrifice.
I dare to ask how many people who claim to not be able to “afford” health care are miraculously able to afford a cell phone, internet access or acrylic nails?
