I don't disagree - Walmart (among others) already does that.
The government absolutely forces insurance companies to cover certain procedure now. Maybe all thats needed to solve this issue is to tweak the regulations about the circumstances which an insurance company can deny coverage. I mean most of my medical stuff right now is covered under a workmans comp claim which is state ran. You wouldn't believe the crap I have had to go through over the last 9 years. Seriously I should write a book%% Where do I go to fight the sate of Montana?
You're preaching to the choir. I'm no longer insurable because I lost my job, and couldn't afford both rent and Cobra.
Once I get another job, I can get insurance - maybe. At this point, CA employers are running 120 day (up from 90) probation periods and insurance co-pays for a single person have, on average, quintupled in the last 12 months, while my job description's pay scale has dropped 50%. In the meantime, I have a time sensitive condition which I can't afford to cover...
The current system is broken for both of us.
I'm open to suggestions.
