| Augen said: I can only speak anecdotally, but my insurance went up 30% and my coverage became significantly worse to point it is pointless in 99% of scenarios. The main issue with healthcare here is it is so expensive so many people I know self medicate. Had seven stitches a few years back and it was $3000, $1700 after my old insurance paid $1300. How does that make any sense? Of course under new plan I would pay all of it so if I get cut I just get a scar now. It is easily the big thing we do far worse than so many other comparable countries. |
I had a similar expierence.
My healthcare premium went up over 300% with no added benefits.
That said, i ended up on medicaid. Not actually happy about it.
I'd rather pay for healthcare... but i'm not paying > 1 paycheck for it... and subsidies have a price floor... for whatever reason.
They may as well just go full out health coverage. Rather then making it so tons of people have to pay more, just so a very small few can get cheaper health insurance that's probably still below the level they need.
