I'm not asking for free health insurance, but it's not worth of paying thousands of dollars for a medial treatment. If a patient is getting treatment for major heart surgery, it makes sense to pay higher premiums, but why would you pay $10k bill for a knee surgery??? | ||

insurance companies and pharma companies milakat muflia anukuntunnaaa. Canada lo govt care, India lo pvt care kaabatti they price it competitively. For example...Advair - $60 with insurance in USA, $60 without insurance if shipped from Canada. Overall gaa...Pharma company gets their $60....but in USA, the bloated price is covered by insurance. 01/06/2012 - 169.4 02/01/2012 - 168.6 | ||

because you are paying not only for yourself and your family but also to so many people who depend on the govt for the medical support. | ||

Doctors need to pay Malpractice insurance too. Better find a company that has better health benefits. $10k premium aa? 5k deductible aa? entha mandiki? Even when paying on your own...7 or 8K premium to cover a family of 3 with 1.5k deductible ikkada. Employer contribution untey inkonchem tagguthundi. 01/06/2012 - 169.4 02/01/2012 - 168.6 | ||

Tammi, god forbid, what if you run into something that requires hospitalization and huge expenses. If you are rich enough to take care of the expensive bills, you do not need insurance. If you are middle class, health insurance is a safety net to catch you in these kind of situations. Believe me, I have seen the bills for someone not insured, and you do not want to be in that position. | ||

It is like Life Insurance, you want to have it hoping your family will never have to use it. | ||

Why pay $10k premium every year with $5k deductible, while we only pay a visit to the doctor one or twice for check-up/treatment ? |
