I wish that The Affordable HealthCare Act had went after the price gouging that causes citizens in the U.S.A. to pay more for everything (including prescription drugs) than anywhere else in the world.  Then I wouldn't even NEED insurance.
I'll tell ya...if my insurance company had tried this shit before The AHCA, I would have simply dropped the insurance.
But now that they know I CAN'T legally drop the insurance, it seems that all bets are off.
This was supposed to lower costs. Not raise them. But again...it sounds like most people here on GFY have gotten lower insurance. So I must be an exception to the rule. |
This exactly.
Taken as a whole, these powerful institutions and the bills they churn out dominate the nation?s economy and put demands
on taxpayers to a degree unequaled anywhere else on earth. In the U.S., people spend almost 20% of the gross domestic
product on health care, compared with about half that in most developed countries. Yet in every measurable way, the results
our health care system produces are no better and often worse than the outcomes in those countries
This is one of the best articles on our completely backwards medical system - worth reading:
