- In 2000 only 49.3% of all bankruptcies were due to health care expenses!
had health insurance!
How can these statements be true?
- If you get sick enough or injured badly enough that you cannot work, your
employer is only required to continue your insurance, if it was employer provided,
for six months. - You can purchase an extension of your insurance under the COBRE plan, if you
can continue to make the payments. That too is time limited. - At some point you cannot have coverage because you got sick or were severely
injured. - If you do get well and go back to work your insurance will never again cover
anything related to your previous injury or illness. - Many illnesses are not covered by health insurance unless you have a very
expensive plan.
- 20 to 30% profit on a $20,000 car or on a $300 camera is expected.
- 34% profit on an health insurance policy that costs $16,000 per year seems
unreasonable. - Health insurance companies providing their CEOs salaries of $9,844,212 to
$24,300,112 seem unreasonable and are part of why we must stop using
health insurance companies.
