The problem is that our new healthcare bill has nothing to do with healthcare and is just subsidizing the insurance industry by forcing me to buy more insurance on top of the money I already throw out for car insurance.
If we had real healthcare reform, how about making it tax deductible for a business to pay for surgery if a worker needs it? That is only at most half tax deductible, but buying that same worker health insurance is 100%.
Don't you think it makes more sense to give money to a surgeon when you have a problem than a paper pusher whose job depends on rejecting a certain portion of claims?
I know someone who has health insurance, whose wife recently died, and the insurance company apparently routinely rejects 10% of medical costs in such cases because they know most grieving spouses won't take legal action before the statute of limitations runs out.
