Not sure about all those scary numbers and not even sure taxes would have to be raised. And if taxes are raised, it could be very nominal.

Why can’t the insurance costs be covered in the premiums? Do you pay auto insurance? Home insurance? Are you aware that YOU’RE PAYING for Joe Blow down the street when he puts in a claim? Or that Joe Blow is paying FOR YOU when you put in a claim?

Good grief, ya think the Republicans just landed on this planet in January or something.

Because if they pay only the named perils (what the policy states) then they get taken to court and lose. The range of services involved in covered health care has gotten so broad. The insurance model no longer applies.

Insurance is about reducing risk. It just doesn’t work the way it used to when health insurance meant 80/20.
