Shove your lies. Most people think their insurance will cover something right up until the bills start coming. Then they find out their insurance only covers half of that procedure, or has determined that something was not medically necessary, and so deny coverage after the fact.

This happened to me once. Fortunately the bills weren't insurmountable, but it came down to the insurance company being very bad about communicating how they cover mental health services, leading to months of phone tag to get a very simple, if disappointing and infuriating answer

There's also the fact that women's health is not respected properly. Another issue I've had to tackle, and again we were fortunate enough to have the means available at the time to see to it, but insurance only helped with the hospital bill, not the procedure.
-
I've also had other experiences where we were trying to plan the costs, but they could not be made available to us until after a procedure was done. This is where any "free market" argument dies. There is no free market in health care under the American system.
-
If the most basic element of a transaction, the cost, is withheld from the customer, in this case the patient, until after the transaction is completed, that's not a free and fair exchange. The only way to equalize this is to spread the cost universally.

And insurance plans are so complicated that you can’t even figure on them covering a set percentage of your care. They’ll pay x for this, but y for that, and only under these circumstances and don’t you dare get sick or injured while out of town...

Check the income taxes that they pay in Canada for “free insurance”. You wait months for doctor appointment or a Hospital bed - a friend of mine died because he has to wait for a bed, it took too long. You should research more the freedoms we lose when we give them to government

My husband's father is Canadian. We just visited him. Yes they pay taxes for health insurance. Just like any withholding tax. When was the last time you thought about the workers comp tax you pay? Have you ever made a comp claim? They have never seen a medical bill. He's 88.

Ridiculous lie as usual. Yes, you’ll lose your choice of which hateful insurance company that’s trying to screw you for its own profit you get stuck with. But you’ll have more choice of doctors, hospitals and things that actually affect your health.

If you’re already on Medicare, you’ll have what you don’t have now— vision, dental, hearing. Oh, and
@SpeakerRyan, 80-year-olds have NEVER fallen for your phony “choice” argument. -
You see,
@SpeakerRyan, old people aren’t excited by your dream of forcing them to weed through hundreds of health insurance plans to try to figure out which a**holes are trying to gouge them the least. They’d rather spend time with their grandchildren. - 1 more reply

Obamacare gave choices to people who had no choice.

Obamacare which benefited 0.001% of the population, reduced choices for over 300 million Americans.

No it did not.
