Unfortunately, that is the system we have now. I'm not saying that a public option is better, but I'm saying that bottom line people are the ones that make our health care decisions now.
The CEO's of Aetna, BC, United all stated that they make profit by limiting, denying, and non-renewing coverage. They have no intention to change.
My question is this- why can't we use the model set forth by Kerry or Hillary? Open the floor to the private companies. If company with 20 employees pay $1500 a month (as I do), a company with 2000 pays less then half of that. What about 20,000 or 20M?
Yes, make it mandatory, subsidize if it is over say 25% of gross income. Open up bidding to all the private companies. Offer 3 plans from complete comprehensive to catastrophic only?
