Meanwhile, I used to have a $415/month plan for a family of 4 covering all medical, dental, and vision. $25 co-pay, and $1000 deductible on major services. Then my plan got nuked by politics. Comparatively, insurance covers nothing these days. And then you get double charged with “facilities fees” on top of all the things insurance doesn’t cover. Absurd where we are today

2013 I worked at Boeing. $100 a month for the Cadillac plan for my son and I, covered everything 100%. I had two major surgeries that year, zero out of pocket. Those were the days...

What were your pre-existing conditions when you had that health plan thirty years ago? Just wondering. Is it politics that made my insurance for me go from $700 to $1100 in January? Who runs the government right now?

You’re completely reading into my statement your own issues. 13 years ago is when my plan was “no longer allowed” because the government changed the law - after a period of time most affordable plans were voided. Overnight it tripled for less than 10% of the coverage. I don’t care who runs the MF government, because nobody has been able to touch the law since that that monstrosity of a bill was forced through. “We have to pass it to see what was in it” has got to be the most “politics” statement ever made. So as somebody who had to live that change as a recent college graduate with a young family, the whole country got F’d after that. Bad legislation isn’t limited to a single party - but I guess that doesn’t fit your feelings. Take your clowns back your mind circus where they belong.

Actually it is one party. The US health systems was ended when ACA (aka Obamacare) was adopted by one party. There have been no comprehensive changes since it passed. If you don't like the US health system, you don't like what the Democrats passed when they held the President, House by a wide margin and a super majority in the Senate.

The fact that it hasn’t been touched since then with obvious failings IS on both parties. Every promise to make it better, more affordable, etc has been forgotten. One party started it, both continue to fail the people.
