Maybe you're right...but I think the real way is to STOP THE PRICE GOUGING.
And that's something the Federal Govt. has done in conjunction with the Pharmaceutical and Medical industries.
The Feds could put an end to it now...but they won't.
As I said earlier...none of us should be using "insurance" to pay for everyday doctor visits and picking up a prescription. So premiums shouldn't even be an issue. They should be VERY low because people aren't using it for stubbing their toes.
We're being ripped off by those corporations and the Federal govt. (party affiliation doesn't matter)
