Basically, the previous system was “you need to be already healthy to get coverage.” Insane.[/quote]
My problem with the previous system was that as a self employed family, no one will even sell you coverage. As a healthy guy and wife, it was insanely hard to have anyone cover you if you even wanted maternity “just in case”.
That and any previous tests and you maybe out was extremely scary that 1 accident and you would be bankrupt.
I am also completely not overweight, never had a surgery, no smokes, drinks, whatever…
At the end of the day, for profit companies don’t care so it’s in their rightful corporate interests to drive profits and eliminate paying/treatment.
One reason I still think we need a different or better system than what we have now.
Medi-Cal is also bad as local places may not see/treat you at all and you may have to drive hours to find a place willing to see you.
