... throwing out percentages as low as 60%/40% at one time.

I truly hope that these insurance policies do not force people to pay 40% of their health care costs with how high our health care costs are in this country, but I will not be surprised if that turns out to be the case.

I would be shocked, and I mean shocked if these policies offer anything better than forcing people to pay 20% of health care costs.

With that said, I would LOVE to be shocked since paying even 20% of today's health care costs will continue to bankrupt many Americans.
