Na people still get anally raped by the insurance companies whom do anything possible not to pay the bills and then drop them if they can get away with it.
This is why private sector health insurance just doesn't work. It's a failed experiment that this country just can't seem to let go. Largely due to the amount of money the insurance companies pump into the govt via lobbyists.
You could probably go to Cuba and get better coverage than what people pay $600 to 1000/mth for here.
The simple fact is when a system is built on profit, then profit is the guiding light not health care. Free market in the US means that with out insurance a prescription I take costs about $130- 160 for a prescription I get.. In Canada and Mexico the exact same medication is about $30-40. That's the American free market for you.
With insurance I end up paying the same thing as what it costs in Canada & Mexico because the insurance companies have deals with the pharma companies. Meaning I'm pretty much buying the prescription outright and the insurance company is likely not paying a dime. That's the biggest part of the scam that most people don't even realize.
