The hyperbole of the left is reaching new heights.
No hyperbole at all. My statement stands. We democrats want everyone to have health care, just like everyone over 65 have Medicare. If you get hung up on saying, '... that is not "insurance"', then simply don't call it insurance.
You democrats want a lot of things that are stupid.
You can't even define what health care is. When do you decide that people got "health care" ? You've never answered that question.
Having spent 50 years in the health insurance business, drafting health insurance policies, I assure you that I know what "health care" is. In the contract under which you are insured, it is, "Care and treatment of the insured for body or mental disorder, or injury."
You had caps on your policies ?
Many were capped at a Mil.
When I entered my health insurance career in 1966, I rated group health policies. Our typical policy had a $20 Room and Board benefit, $200 surgical benefit, $4 per day doctor visit, and a $5,000 major medical lifetime (or calendar year, if you wanted to pay more) maximum. The typical monthly premium per employee was about $35 to $40 per month.
