Yes, we sure can trust our employers to make healthcare decisions for us. More and more employers are cutting down to bare-bones policies or finding ways to cut insurance entirely. Even those wonderful employer provided plans involve higher copays.
Go for surgery and come out with a $125,000 bill. Your 15% copay comes out to be $18,000.
An $18,000 medical bill is peanuts to people like you and I, but if you make $30,000 a year it is devastating
Good. So you support the GOP plan which empowers workers to have more control over their own health insurance.
I am surprised at how many liberals here really are Republicans and didnt even know it.
Yes I do support that. But not just workers employed by someone else but all Americans. Insurance should be issued to the person and not to a company that has a defined pool of employees. The insurance pool should be 300 million Americans.
That way your insurance would be completely portable and you would not be restricted from changing jobs because you are afraid to lose your insurance
