OpenMarket.org: Why Not a National Health Insurance Market?

  • RICHARD LEVY · 1 year ago
    I live in pa. and pay $1500.00 a month for myself and my wife, so I don't know where the idea that pa is cheap!
    I think a national law allowing people to buy insurance in another state is fine however I think every citizen should be able to be part of a group plan thereby getting rid of the preexisting condition trap and opening the market for everyone.

    I am in favor of deductable assistance, or government subsidies for high risk individuals that need it the most. Another thing to point out is that unfortuntely in the US, insurance (especially health & life) is considered a luxury and many young people and working middle class with a choice of where to spend there money are opting for toys and entertainment rather than planning ahead. Hopefully that will change in the future. Great post and resource links though!

    great post! i especially found it where it stated.
    Everyone knows that the health insurance industry is continually raising monthly premiums, and many feel this is unjust to you as the consumer. However, the health insurance industry has had to fight increasing health insurance fraud. The amount of money spent on investigating and prosecuting fraud is then passed on to policyholders. Many people do not understand what health insurance fraud entails, though. With reports estimating health insurance fraud is a $30 billion to over $100 billion industry per year, the topic should not be taken lightly. Every health insurance policyholder should understand what health insurance fraud is and its consequences. By doing so, you are more able to recognize and fight fraud.
