suggestion 2 allow insurance companies to sell health insurance across state lines.
Do you agree with the Health Insurance Exchange that was proposed? I think that is an excellent idea.
Then again you are the healthcare expert who claimed that when these mandates are added to the price of a healthcare insurance policy,
1. have guaranteed issue and renewal
2. no exclusions for pre-existing conditions
3. , no lifetime or annual limits on benefits,
4. family policies would have to cover children up to age 26.
5. to cover essential health benefits, as defined by a new Medical Advisory Council (MAC), appointed by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. The MAC would determine what items and services are essential benefits. The MAC would have to include items and services in at least the following categories: ambulatory patient services, emergency services, hospitalization, maternity and new born care, medical and surgical, mental health, prescription drugs, rehab and lab services, preventive/wellness services, pediatric services, and anything else the MAC thought appropriate.
6. compels seniors to submit to a counseling session every five years (and more often if they become sick or go into a nursing home) about alternatives for end-of-life care (House bill, p. 425-430).
7. prohibits engaging in other discriminatory practices. cover smokers, parachute jumpers, and race car drivers.
8. Caps total out-of-pocket spending
the price of the policy would go down.
Based on same, I'll take your view with a grain of salt.
