The big insurance companies and their banker shareholders win. Now middle and low income people are forced to buy high deductible, expensive insurance that they probably won’t use.
So, if a middle or lower class employee needs routine care, the deductible will be to high for the insurance to kick in; it will have no value. Then, if they get really sick, they will inevitably lose their job and stop paying their premiums. After that, they will be forced on Medicaid.
This is nothing less than fascist health care.
Looked coverage for just me and hubby up on CoveredCa. $1300 per month with if I remember right $9000 ea deductible. You are correct. That’s NOT coverage that’s theft.
I was reading an article today about a doctors office having a hard time collecting from people that didn't pay in advance. If it becomes too much trouble, the doctors will just drop out of the exchanges.
