[quote=Anonymous]The problem is that everyone does NOT have great employer provided plans.  They can have ridiculously high deductibles, crappy prescription drug plans, etc.  We pay $1k/month out of my husband’s check for our part of the premium yet still have to pay several thousand in deductibles and frequently get hit with unexpected bills for ridiculous nonsense (like an exclusion for a certain part of a blood panel that i’ve Been having run for a decade that his current company feels is not necessary).  And we have the best plan available to us through his company, a company we really have no choice in because he loves his contract position but his contract keeps changing hands because of the way the gov’t works (he’s been in the same job for 7 years with at least 5 different contract holder companies)

I would much rather have a basic plan for everyone - the $1k we’re paying to some insurance company out of our pocket could instead be put in a pot for that.  I mean, let’s be honest, insurance companies are for profit and the execs are buying multiple mansions and yachts while telling us that therapies for our sick kids aren’t necessary.  Screw that.[/quote]
