Insurance companies don't like gold and platinum plans

[peacebird]

1. We are supposed to limit our accessing health care because we have to pay a higher percentage

But at the same time, you cannot comparison shop prices of procedures you need to have done. For example Dr A does appendectomy at the hospital - what is the total cost?
Dr B does it at the surgery center, what is the cost? And are both Drs in your plan?

There is no way to know. You have cancer And Dr C is a highly respected pro, Dr D is fresh out of medical school. Which do you choose? The pro or the less expensive fresh out? And this ASSUMES you could find out what each one would charge before seeing them.

We need to get profit out of health care, go to single payer.
