Many Say High Deductibles Make Their Health Law Insurance All but Useless

[peace13]

52. Spoken like a person with a house and savings.

Now imagine a person paying high premiums on a policy mandated by law, who doesn't have money for the huge deductible or big premiums and doesn't have a home or savings. That person will never benefit from the policy....ever. At least you are insuring your home and savings with the health policy. Now if the person who doesn't have a home or savings gets sick and goes to the hospital...the hospital will get paid but the patient will still be billed a large amount for the deductible that will seem small to some but not to theses with nothing. This piece of the puzzle is the huge markup by the hospital. So in the end the hospital gets paid and the patient is still in the desperate hole to refill the hospital's gravy boat!
