We need single payer

62. This is the problem right now

nd that is the real issue, not catastrophic insurance. The reason people end up in the ER is because they don't get the preventive care they need before it becomes an emergency.

I know why some people are posting about how great it is to afford to be on an exchange. It's necessary to offset the people complaining about ACA and those who already have employer coverage who are complaining about raising the prices.

Right now too many people are getting inexpensive coverage for normal care, not catastrophic...and because their employers are kicking in to pay for it, they really don't feel the pinch of how much a plan like that would cost. This whole system that allowed people to expect almost free coverage through their jobs, while others basically had nothing...this is what perverted the whole system...and the fact that the policies to cover these "free plans" for employees, set up a system of profit for insurance companies and all health service suppliers.

The health providers and for-profit-insurance now expect to get paid like these plans used to pay. Unfortunately, this is another bust situation...just like the housing bust and the dot.com bust.

Health care booms are still the rage, but they are starting to reach a peak of being insupportable. There will be a health care bust if we continue on like this.
