Healthcare or Catastrophic Coverage? - Poll

[kyzr]

The healthcare debate is very misleading. The dems keep bragging about how many people have healthcare coverage under obamacare, but that is not correct. Many people that pay for healthcare have high deductibles and can't actually use their healthcare until they pay their deductible, which is actually "catastrophic coverage"

We need the pols to specify how many have "no deductible healthcare" and how many have "catastrophic coverage".

Lets take a poll on where healthcare ends and catastrophic coverage begins.

Look up actual deductibles.

It is not unusual to see 2,500 or 5,000 these days.

That's just crazy having deductibles over $1000!!! Why pay for healthcare??? Then Medicaid users gets everything free???

Yep, my portion of the employer sponsored plan is $5300 a year with 2500 deductible each for me and the wife. She had knee surgery three weeks ago, no idea of the financial cost yet.

What difference do high deductibles make when that puny unearned tax refund check you were expecting that's gonna pay for less than half the cost of your trumpcare doesn't show up because of a tax refund intercept placed by some agency you're upside down with. Anyone of a number of agency's.

You know what they call someone with a tax refund check before April? Poor

I was mad about deductibles before knowing how much they really are!! The DC clowns had better fix the healthcare system, and fast.

I like the idea of having some level of deductible/copay. It should slow people from over loading the system with medical visits that are frivolous.

In response to you question: 100% tax deduction, for private sector insurance. That said, the Federal Government ought to provide free, age appropriate, preventative health care to every citizen prenatal to grave.

Very idealistic, how do you expect the Federal Government to pay for 1/7 of the US economy, or about $2-trillion a year? A single payer system only leads to rationing when demand exceeds supply. So your idea is unaffordable and unrealistic.
