So Let's See What Happens

So you want your typical employer provided health care plan at the typical employer health care price, but without the employer to pay the 50-80% of the premium.

I believe many typical plans require copays for visits and often a percentage of tests and treatment even for basic services. Also I didn't say I expected it to cost the same price as a corporate plan.

Buying your own health care plan is NOT considerably more expensive than your average employer provided plan. You just dont have the employer to pick up the lion's share of the price.

I agree but I'm not sure what your point is.

We have spent a lot of time discussing my ideas, so let's give yours some attention. Give me your views on the following:

1. Do you think it's a problem that medical bills are one of the top causes of bankruptcy? If so, how can we change that? If not, why not?

2. How do we keep people from using the emergency room as an alternative to traditional care?

3. Would our society be better off if everyone had health insurance? If so, how can we convince those without it to attain it? If not, how do you feel about people defaulting on their medical bills?
