It also included many tests and $6,000 was also the limit for how much you could pay out of pocket. That is called catastrophic insurance and it also was the framework for a solution to the healthcare cost that are the problem after 40 Years of the GOP scam.They were happy with their insurance till they got cut off when they got seriously sickObama should have fought for straight up single payer. It works everywhere it it tried and would have fixed the goddamn cluster fuck that is called the American healthcare system.
Now we're going to go back to the third world shit we had before.
We didn't have third world shit before, 80% of people were happy with their h/insurance. If they wanted to fix the problem they could have by addressing those who weren't insured. Instead, the damn leftists upended the entire system, screwed up h/insurance plans for millions, knowing it would collapse on itself so they could then usher in single payer. Which you're drooling for so we can all have the same quality experience that those in the VA have. NO. They also increased demand (newly insured) without increasing supply (medical professionals) and demanded that certain things must be covered. Gee, I wonder why prices skyrocketed.
Get fed gov't out of it.
Get rid of 'essential benefits'.
Bring back catastrophic plan options.
Stop having so many damn things covered by insurance in the first place!
Stop tying health insurance to employment, make it portable.
... There is Medicaid for the poor and then something has to be done about the cost of healthcare which is 100% more than anywhere else. Obamacare at least gave a framework for a solution. And you are ignorant if you don't know that high-deductible catastrophic insurance was the way things were going anyway....
That's what obozo care is just catastrophic insurance...who the fuck has 6 grand lying around year after year?
Uhm it's called a deductible..
You have to pay 6 grand out of pocket before the insurance kicks in.
Who the hell goes to the doctor for check ups unless you are a woman.
