Jesus Fucking Keerist, how, many times to I have to tell you idiots, WE ALL PAY when people can't afford it - and she would be another one who should an tragic incident occur, would not be able to afford it, and would bankrupt her and/or force the hospital to eat a good portion, and raising rates for all.Like what if she had to be admitted to the hospital for an emergency appendectomy, gall bladder attack...or any hospital stay?
Well, does it cover any hospitalization? Outpatient only." Said the 54 year old lady.
"In sum, its a pray-that-you-dont-really-get-sick plan.

I'm pretty sure she would have wanted it to cover her if she had to be rushed to the hospital (it doesn't cover ambulance either) and had to deal with a hospital-required injury or illness. But she couldn't afford it.
If she did "a middling hospital stay could well have bankrupted Barrette under her current insurance."
Luckily, she likely qualifies for subsidies under the new program
Jesus Fucking Christ how many times do I need to raise this issue with you drooling idiots. So fucking what if she qualifies for a subsidy?? The subsidies aren't free! Somebody has to pay for it so if it's not her then it's the rest of us in higher premiums and/or taxes. The bottom line is a policy that once cost $54 is now costing $550. In what bizarro fifth dimensional universe is that good for anybody?
If she cant afford real insurance, she certainly could not be able to afford even a fair to middling medical event.
The bigger the pool, the more it is spread around.
But you keep imagining what we had before here worked.
