Copy the uk's health service

Premiums went up 40% over last year and the coverage became worse. Gold standard my ass.

Not to worry. When democrats win everyone will have free healthcare. Paid for by that money tree behind Congress!!

Why can't I shop around for health insurance the same way i do auto home renter flood fire and rv insurance?

Wait! You mean people have to pay vendors for services rendered? And two studies confirm the fact that stuff costs something! Wow . Thanks for reporting this in-depth news. You guys are awesome SaidNoOneEver

With employer health plans going up in price and down in benefits, how is this a gold standard

And government health care will solve this how?

This also dont mention my 160 bucks a paycheck premium either.....wtf can afford that?

Well, duh... who among us hasn’t had the perfectly normal procedure suddenly and inexplicably not covered? In my case, everything at our local rural hospital was covered except the x-ray department. You want an x-ray? Either pay a bloody fortune or drive over a hundred miles!

The last employer health plan i had totally sucked...3000 dollar deductable before they would even pay a dollar on a RX, then another 1850 out of pocket, it would have cost me over 3 mths pay to just pay the deduct and out of pocket before the ins picked up the bill

Yep. My daughter just got out of the hospital and we received a copay bill of $5000. Not gonna get paid. Sorry

As if we needed any more ammo for single payer healthcare... shit is too expensive!

deductible = $3,500.00, OOP Maximum = $10,500, $3,500.00 in annual premiums less $1,200.00 in employer HSA contributions = potential outlay of 12,800 in a year for medical care. Grateful to have it.

Gold standard... What's that measure of that? If anything it's a standard in bankruptcy as expenses in the for profit insurance industry is about getting people's money over health CARE.

That's why I feel Medicare for all time has arrived

True

Wrong

Forget government healthcare, they will deny Americans based on their voting records. The left is EVIL.

Duh. How many families can afford an $8K deductible? Studies say not many since 8/10 are living paycheck to paycheck. I hope you didn’t spend a lot of $$ trying to figure this out. 🙄🙄🙄

More fake news you people are something else you trying to make people think that the Medicare for all is a good thing because you pay a lot on company sponsored health care that’s a lie a big fat liar and 187 million Americans know it cut the crap CNN

Not in my experience. I've always worked in Small business, and never had any problems with my employer-provided health insurance.

Why is health in US so expensive yet the amount of money used in war can cater for totally free healthcare access to everyone in US?

Not with the right plan ! QUIT TRYING TO SELL THE SOCIALISTIC BULL IT WILL CAUSE MILLIONS TO BE UNEMPLOYED AS WELL ! IT WILL MAKE US ALL ON A WELFARE HEALTHCARE!

fake news

Why don't any one ask realDonaldTrump if Q is a larp

I am one of them... going broke for medical problems in my family WITH a 'good' company healthcare plan. Plans have changed over the years; bigger deductibles, less included and more caps on services such as mental services.

Newsflash... when most people live pay check to pay check ... you can still go broke while covered under your employer offered health insurance. BROKE. Like have to file bankruptcy broke.

Hello

We need to get employers out of the health insurance business.

Analysis | The Health 202: It's employer-sponsored health plans that are getting stingierAnalysis: It's employer-sponsored health plans that are getting stingier Hey GOP WHERE ARE THE KIDNAPPED CHILDREN.......................... I've worked in pharmacy for 15 years and it feels like every year co-pays and deductibles go up. The system is broken. If your employer sponsors your health care insurance plan ; then they have a say in your quality of care , they also limit your ability to seek alternative insurance plans , which down the road dictates the the quality of care that providers provide and insurers cover.

How health care played into Trump’s State of the UnionPres. Trump laid out a series of health-related goals in his State of the Union address—including some that Democrats indicated could be areas of bipartisan negotiation or compromise. Where’s the beef?! Do any of those health goals include making mental health treatment more accessible to victims of sexual assault? Because I’m sure the girls he rented from Epstein are still recovering from their trauma.
