Not to mention that the process has left a situation where the prices keep inflating because they can. So we literally have medical costs that balloon just so that more money can be made, and anyone who isn’t insured at the time they go to the hospital gets charged that inflated rate. So yeah… it’s broken. If you have a decent PPO it’s costing you more for less, if you have nothing it’s costing you a lot more for a lot less. Everyone is getting shafted to some degree. I don’t think it will be that hard to push people to take a step forward into sanity once enough of them start losing their family members or life savings to a broken arm or a run in with a major but treatable illness.
