The insurance nightmare continues. I have been covered under my employers’ group insurance policies for the past 21 years, and my parents’ policy prior to then. Now that I am self-employed, I have to cover my family via an individual/family policy, no mean feat considering the I have mild sleep apnea and my wife and son have asthma. Our glorious leader pushes personal responsibility and the benefits of privatized medicine and insurance. The big flaw I see with this is that even if you can afford insurance, no insurance company has to provide you coverage. Want insurance, but have any health issues, no matter how easily treated?- abandon the idea of being self-employed and join a corporation so that you can get group coverage. Still, the Presidunce pushes for switching from employer-provided insurance to employee-provided insurance. Guess who the biggest winner there is. No, not the employer, who definitely does get lower costs, and not the employee, who can now be denied coverage, but the insurance company, which no longer has to insure the workers.
I suppose there’s always the Bush Insurance Plan, which he promoted in Ohio:
“The immediate goal is to make sure there are more people on private insurance plans. I mean, people have access to health care in America. After all, you just go to an emergency room.” Unfortunately, I am guessing Pres. Bozoman won’t be offering this service as preventive coverage.
