>The vicious advanced 30 years and now costs are astronomical because of this self-feeding greed.
Ummm, this didn’t happen w/out the help of one party: GOVT.
MediXYZ & more ‘tax tweaks’...all to ‘help’ the Citizen.
Same w/ ‘employer provided h-insurance’ (now mandated).
Need to get the govt OUT 1st (no mandates, no ‘must-cover’, no coercion, no bail-outs, no welfare, etc.). Let the Free Market return.
“Obamacare Deductibles So High, No One Gets to Use the Insurance”
That’s not a bug, it’s a feature...
Yeah.
People like me SAID THIS before Obamacare was passed.
And we were laughed at, made fun of and called racists.
Don’t forget that before it was Obamacare, it was known as Hillarycare.
With a high deductible plan, patients are paying for most of their care unless the costs are catastrophic.
Therefore, it doesn’t make sense for outpatient clinics and physicians to accept high deductible 0-care insurance. Only hospitals and hospital groups benefit from accepting 0-care.
Moreover, when patients get to the point where they would exceed the deductible, very often their illness has caused a drastic life change that results in unemployment which would qualify that person for Medicaid. IOW, catastrophic health insurance is typically unnecessary for most people.
For many, it’s $10,000 deductibles. The American people may not as whole even know what a deductible is.
Can't say that I've seen any Bronze plans with in network deductibles that high. However, if one gets hit with an out of network deductible it could very well exceed $10K...
I’ve wondered about that.
How did Barasso vote? Is he up for reelection this year?
