[QUOTE="TUT, post: 1074751, member: 29298"] [b]Re: Health Benefit Shock[/b] Figure 15% a year forever, until something is done. That is why I don't mock the new health care laws, something has to change, doing nothing is total fail. So you have to start somewhere and continue to improve that. The problem is the country is split 50-50 politically, so when one side makes a choice the other-side will sabotage it politically. But it must be nice to work in an industry where you can just keep raising prices and such a rate. Also love being the country that pays for the drugs at full retail so the rest of the world can get it at a reasonable price, why? Because our system allows for nearly any price to be set and insurance just picks that up, where the other countries have universal health care with limits on what can be charged. So it's amazing how something here can cost $50 and the same thing elsewhere $5, because the industry has no choice, either get $5 or nothing, they take the fiver every time. Regualtion vs DeRegulation I suppose. My father uses Humana under Medi Care, I was surprisingly amazed at how affordable it is and what they get in return. If what is stated here became reality, moving from $50/month to $750. I would consider looking into this plan instead. [/QUOTE]
