My blue cross bill is currently over $1,100 a month but I still prefer private insurance.

But the U.S. system badly needs an overhaul. The main culprit are the $5 copay plans which encourage verybody to waste as much money as possible because "somebody else pays the bills".

Example: When I used to have major medical only you had to save up prescriptions and submit when they hit 1K a year.

Consequently, I shopped for the best price on prescriptions like everything else.

Now that I pay a flat $10, I could give a shit if the bottle cost $90 and most get flushed, just human nature.
