it is not the insurance premium, but the cost when one uses the services. I find it totally out of all sense of fair play to have a hospital charge $100,000 for emergency room care and three days in intensive care. Luckily, I have not faced that but we are all one accident away from bankrupcy. That is absurd. The hospitals charge $50.00 for a tylenol, and idemize everything. The medical and drug cartels charge what they feel they can get away with, nothing less. If our insurance pays only 50 percent of the $100,000 bill the insured is stuck with the rest. It is estimated that 65 percent of all bankrupsies are the sole result of medical bills. If this continues there truly will be another tea party.
