find the "best" policy and don't buy it.... put that money into savings instead.... cut your own corners and pick your own cotton.... every drop of water fills the lake....

Blazor's operation would have cost fifty grand out of his pocket without any medical insurance.

while doctors have always been more expensive than other luxuries, it wasn't until "government assistance" (interference), they began rising like the tides.... the availability of medical services to ppl who wouldn't seek it otherwise plus the guarantee of payment no matter hpw outrageous the bill has incentivized doctors to pad these bills shamelessly and continuously.... the medical industrial complex needs to be torn down to its roots and rebuilt.... not fed, strengthened and emboldend by government funding....

When Americans talk about medical insurance, I get the same headache that I get when Canadians talk about filing income taxes.

when americans talk about ANYTHING, i get the same headache as when canadians talk about ANYTHING.... i'm watching lunatics take over the asylum....

no.... insurance is a scam and if ppl keep paying into it, the situation will NEVER correct itself.... BE the change you want to see in the world....

That's for Americans to fix.

Blazor didn't say how much he pays for premiums.....or his employer pays.

americans can fix it for themselves but ultimately every country has to fix itself by itself....

I want to know about different insurance plans. I was hoping to read about your experiences with insurance companies-the good, the bad and the ugly.

i have no "experience" with insurance other than seeing the damage they do.... i've spent about half of my life homeless (and subsequently uninsured).... i generally pay cash or make payments for any medical care that falls outside of my skill range....
