but I expect to lose it when the new budget takes effect.
I have had a good experience with it. I paid for my own individual insurance before poverty circumstances hit. They usually denied something in a claim (all or part) - probably because I was not part of a group and did not have much clout. It was always frustrating and expensive.
Basic Health has been very good. The state employees have always been decent to deal with too. Don't know about catastrophic care though.
