re: #554 Vambo

LOL. You really think the private insurance industry is tops, don’t you?

No, I think it’s a broken system. I just don’t want to go to a public system. Maybe I spent too much time considering the differences between the Iron Curtain economies and other economies, but that’s also part of my age.

I have all kinds of reforms that I would consider, most of them not the ones made.

For example: make more kinds of insurance available. When we were facing a layoff, the only insurance we could choose from under the COBRA plan was $1,000 a month. There was only one type. (Husband found a job before the layoff took effect.)

Alternate locations for non-life-threatening emergency care. We have an urgency clinic that we go to before we go to the emergency room.

I’ve been here longer than I had time for this morning, mostly because I didn’t want to “run away” from the discussion, but I do need to go.
