Your sentiment is understood, but, who the heck can buy insurance “that day” (one gets sick)? Private insurance enrollment periods are generally VERY limited.
A bigger question is, what does it matter, when individual plans’ premiums are over $1000 a month for a family of 3 or 4, the coverage one gets for that is nil, and one makes an average income? This is all window dressing — health care costs in the US are NOT sustainable.
You are right.We need thousands more doctors. We have allowed them to limit med school enrollment to nothing. Competition will drive costs down.
