Of which liberals who scream about health insurance haven’t the foggiest idea about care. You can have millions of dollars of health insurance but if a doctor won’t take twenty bucks of it, it’s worthless. Next up some liberal law stating a doctor or clinic has to take it regardless of whether or not they’ll be compensated.
They said they would cap insurers profit at 10%. In reality they imposed an 80/20 rule requiring 80% of premiums be spent on care. Subtract for administrative and marketing/selling costs the effect is the same. Putting a floor on spending impeded competitive marketing and drives most providers out of most markets, leaving those who remain left to double the cost and raise the deductible so that earnings in real dollars is higher than they were before the spending rule. Now it is inconceivable to enter a market without a guaranteed number of paying customers, but very limited means to procure customers.
If your doctor doesn’t take the insurance, if you cannot afford the deductible, or your insurer refuses to pay for the treatment you are no better off than if you had no insurance at all.
Strange how the GOP could never capitalize on these arguments either in the repeal effort or reform effort. It’s no wonder the base is so eager to support outside candidates.
