On the medical front, there were some articles in the SD Union Tribune or LA times, I forget which was saying how some tests when paid with no insurance cash/rates were like $20, but with the crooked Blue Cross, was like $70 or something or over a hundred for a few simple tests since that was the “negotiated” rate. The health care operations and insurances are just scamming everyone else and over inflating a lot of medical costs IMO.
I don’t know why, but I would think it’d be better for ALL businesses to not have to worry/provide basic health insurance and just decouple that part and work on spending the money on hiring people and their research/growth/whatever.
Just try to move to some form of limited single payer option with limits on what is covered…
If someone wants a Porsche plan with special cancer / new fighting drugs, pay for that special option, but don’t provide the latest and greatest for everyone.
You smoke? and you got a smoke cancer/problem, I guess that’s too bad for you…
I willingly support rationalized/limited healthcare since anything else is just too costly (since most of the money is wasted anyways with nearly everything you read)
