Thanks, Marleen.
Great to have a view from the other side of the pond!
People are afraid of Change.
I myself, would like to see insurance that covers more, and eliminate the lifetime cap!
For instance,
I pay $850/month for myself, alone. (I can remember when that covered my entire family, and I'm not saying how much further back I remember!).
But, I'm still not covered for Vision, or Dental, and have annoying copays on prescriptions, and my neurologist is "Out of Network". I would like to see those things corrected.
When I owned my business, I had a small group, which was quite a bit less expensive).
Paperwork. There's too much!
I have Blue Cross's best policy, and it's designed to take fairly good care of you, with a semi major crisis.
But, it's also designed to make it difficult, to make claims. (I'm not Mr Paperwork).
And, most all policies here, have a One Million dollar lifetime limit.
We know, that some maladies can go above that, and the idea of insurance is to prevent catastrophic loss.
I hope the new law abolishes any lifetime limits.
I do understand, that they're changing it to eliminate the pre-existing condition clauses. Which is great!
I also hope, that the lawmakers themselves, are subject to falling under this law.
(Congress has the world's best health care plan, as far as I know)...
