We simply cannot settle for the ACA

53. it's DISGUSTING how insurance companies' "allowed charges" have nothing to do w/reality

Just make up a number and go for it! And the huge exec. profits have to keep coming, so just keep upping the premiums.

Example of their fantasyland that can bankrupt you: I did 12 rounds of chemo that is conventional and the drugs have been used for 20 yrs. Nothing new and the admin. was an IV drip after routine blood work. Drip was for 2 hr. or so at doc office, then I took it home in a porta pack attached to a port in my chest and this pumped in the drugs for 2 days.

For this IV drip, each round of chemo was charged at---get this---$40K per round for the provider charge and $23K for the allowed charge.

I found an NIH site stating my exact chemo actually cost $3600/round for admin + chemo drugs.

Interestingly, my out-of-pocket charge was---ta da---$3600! But thanks to O-care, I didn't have to pay that much. Thank you, Democrats! At least I didn't have no insurance due to my "pre-existing condition."

My theory is that the insurance cos. charge whatever fantasy numbers they feel like, and then when they negotiate with states and the feds, they don't get that amount. So that's a tax write off for a "loss."

Quite the smartasses, these criminals. They should be in jail, IMO.
