Do you have health insurance? If so, who pays for it?
There are "health savings accounts". But one can save all they want, but one nice big $50,000 incident (easy to obtain) can wipe someone out. Do you realize how many of the bankruptcies in the US are caused by medical bills, of people who are
insured?
You know what I have to pay for health insurance? (after the recission my lovely ex-insurance company dealt to me) - I have been quoted by the only other two options (companies) in my state for $1200- 1500 per month. With many conditions excluded (some quite surprising). I have no other options for obtaining insurance coverage. That is nonsensical, and from a medical standpoint, completely absurd.
Have you seen what just happened in California, what an insurance company just did to individuals in one pool? It's outrageous!
