Sorry, I'm calling bullshit on that one.
Here in Taxifornia we are paying about $600 a month for catastrophic care Blue Shield coverage for the entire family, with deductibles of $2,400 per person or $4,800 per family.
My husband & I are self employed. We have Kaiser Permanente’s Personal Plan. My husband is a smoker and we have two kids. The premiums are $604 per month.
Expensive, yes, but it’s not $1200 per month.
Has anyone in your family ever had cancer — even a readily curable one? Anyone have type 1 diabetes? Multiple sclerosis? Crohn’s disease? Epilepsy? We know absolutely nothing about this family’s medical history prior to the children’s injuries, so we know absolutely nothing about what it would have cost them to get private medical insurance that would have covered these serious injuries. Why pretend we do, when we don’t? It’s just an invitation to get discredited in the media when somebody comes forward with solid evidence supporting what the family said.
