I have medical insurance that looks like this:
$100,000 max $2,000 annual deductible and my premium is just over $10,800
My car guys make $2,000 a year on me
My medical guys make about $9,400 a year on me.
Explain to me again why the status quo is so great?
I vote Yes , but not nearly far enough.. |
Because the premiums you pay for health insurance are used to pay for healthcare for really sick people (private or government run), some of which would not get the same level of care in other socialized systems, such as CABG's in people over 65, kidney transplants, dialysis, etc. If you really look at the level of care, amount of care delivered in the US, for the sickest patients, comparing that to other countries, even CAnada, you will see that there is no coparison.
