We have a Private Health Insurance Industry program. We've been told it's great.

(23,313 posts)1. My out of pocket expenses after the birth of my son in 2005
was just over $26,000. He was born healthy with no complications. I stayed in the hospital 36 hours after giving birth. We were self insured so our deductible was $12,000 and we had 70/30 co-insurance. I had to refinance my house to pay the bill.

Now I know, either screwing over or killing people.
MAGA.

(12,463 posts)6. Our healthcare system
Is ABUSE. The excuses for this bullshit are none.
Get rid of insurance and make it universal get the same level of healthcare elected officials get.
Take away republicans healthcare and tell them they won't get it until everyone has it then they'd vote for universal care in a nanosecond I bet.
No special conceirge
Insurance for rich people. Either we all get equal quality healthcare or no one rich does.
