Health insurance coverage in the United States is provided by several public and private sources. During 2016, the U.S. population overall was approximately 325 million, with 53 million people 65 years of age and over, covered by the federal Medicare program. The 272 million non-institutional people under age 65 either obtained their coverage from employer-based (155 million) or non-employer based (90 million) sources, or were uninsured (27 million).[1] Approximately 15 million military personnel received coverage through the Veteran’s Administration and Military Health System.[2] During the year 2016, 91.2% of Americans had health insurance coverage.[3] Despite being among the top world economic powers, the US remains the sole industrialized nation in the world without universal health care coverage.[4][5]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_insurance_coverage_in_the_United_States#targetText=Health%20insurance%20coverage%20in%20the%20United%20States%20is%20provided%20by,by%20the%20federal%20Medicare%20program.
Exactly. Same. Luckily I’m fairly healthy, but boy was I pissed when the handful of times I did have larger claims, just how much I ended up out-of-pocket, despite allegedly having a really good plan (let alone the months-long battle with the insurance company one time to get them to actually pay for a surgical procedure).
No, trust me, you’re better off not having insurance if the alternative is economic slavery to COMMUNISM! First it was Social Security, then Medicare, then Medicaid–plus fluoridation. My god, next they’ll be forcing us to make our kids go to school and drive responsibly. FASCISM!
I don’t think being “happy” is an creditable argument of Medical Insurance. I may not be “happy” about my insurance, however, taking my insurance away is a different issue. What are you replacing for my insurance with, which I probably won’t be happy with either. Any insurance that has a mandated coverage and payments and only get coverage that the government tells you, you need and seems a losing issue for the voters, who barely tolerated the ACA.
The government deciding, as opposed to some faceless person at a for-profit business deciding whether to approve your coverage…
Yeah, I’ll take the government controls, don’t need someone balancing books for the quarter deciding that an appendectomy isn’t covered because, well, they just decided to.
So why did you post above that 160 million people are “happy” with their insurance?
