In thinking of our health, we always make sure that we get the best service that our money can afford and, with that, most, if not everyone, would look for affordable medical health insurance that can cover future medical needs such as hospitalization, check-ups and the like. However, with the proliferation of health insurance companies at present, so does the danger in buying a substandard and pretentious insurance plan that would be more of a liability than an advantage. With the way things are, it is important for people to be more cautious in choosing and purchasing health insurance plans.
Affordable medical health insurance, as it is, should be economically beneficial to those purchasing the plan without having to sacrifice the wide range of services that should be able to accommodate a person’s health needs. A comprehensive health insurance plan should be able to cover regular operations up to moderate health cases. Of course, hospital check-ups with health specialists should also be included in the package.
So what makes purchasing a medical health insurance risky? With all honesty, the promise of buying a good priced and all-inclusive health insurance at present time is relatively slim. What with the increasing number of health insurance companies, almost all of them offer affordable medical health insurance plans that fit just about anyone’s budget. The question is: Will the plan they sell be able to cover all of your health needs the moment you require such services?
One more risk in buying health insurance plans is that a good and fairly useful insurance in one state may just be useless in another. Two states may or may not have the same health insurance policies and, thus, may or may not recognize a health insurance that was availed from another state. The coverage of a medical health insurance plan in one state may have to be paid for when in a different state. Now, although this holds true for a lot of insurance plans, there are those that might cost you a bit more but are universally recognized, no matter which hospital you visit or which state you’re in.
Regardless of whether or not you are getting health insurance for yourself and/or for others, remember that it is important that you check for things that could otherwise make your purchase useless and uneconomical. Although there are affordable medical health insurance plans that might look light on the budget, it may not be a bad idea to get something that might cost a bit more, as long as you’re sure that it’ll benefit you in the long run.
Make no mistake about it. Health care reform is coming. But what’s the best way to fix our health care system, which is an inefficient, complicated mess of private actors, third-party payers, public subsidies, and innumerable state and federal regulations? Should we place our faith in the government or in the free market? ObamaCare supporters argue that the answer lies in more government—more subsidies, more regulations, a law mandating individuals buy health-insurance coverage and, of course, more taxes to pay for it all. The alternative is to base reforms on what works in the other five-sixths of the US economy, where choice and competition increase quality and drive down prices over time. Can a market-based health care system work? We can begin to answer this question by looking at Lasik, a medical procedure that’s not covered by health insurance. And has gotten better—and cheaper—over time. “How to Fix Health Care” proposes three simple reforms that will put us on a path to a health-care system that’s better, more affordable, and more accessible. And get this—these market-based reforms can be implemented without creating new government programs or raising taxes. Approximately 8.30 minutes. Produced by Paul Feine and Meredith Bragg.

Why can’t those of us who want a public option pay into a Government plan just for us?
Meanwhile those who want to go Private can.

Please see “The U.S. Healthcare System in International Context:”
Videos like these SHOULD have changed the debate over healthcare reform in this country.
“mass health denies 23.8% of claims, a far higher rate of private insurers”
That could have been far more useful than the way you used it. I’ve heard lefties say that insurers already ration care by denying claims.
LASIK is not health care.
So you make all healthcare costs tax deductible. How much does this remove from the tax coffers. How do you make up that money? What do you do if you are unemployed and get cancer. No job so no tax deduction. With Lasik its optional. I can get glasses if I want. If I have cancer and can’t afford it. What do I do? Healthcare is not “Best Buy”. I can chose if I want a TV or not. I don’t have a choice if I get sick or not.
@inademv
Then is impossible to get insurance for sudden mayor illness or accidents.
So what you can get for your car or home, you cant for your healthcare.
watch?v=3WnS96NVlMI at 3:20
Well, then why the people in that video, have just that?
Why they have insurance for mayor health problems, and health savings accounts for routine care?
Btw, all that is explained in the late part of this very same video you are commenting on, but I suppose some people hear just what they want to hear.
so should i get my lasik now…or wait till the new health care goes into effect?
@lobosolo0333 And that is worthless anecdotal evidence that isn’t supported by statistics on the subject or history.
@inademv … That’s absolute nonsense. In a free market I can choose my doctor. If one tries to jack up the price because I’m in pain, I can go to another. In case you didn’t bother to read the posting, I had the problem fixed because I did go to another doctor who charged me way, way less than the surgery would have cost but fixed it.
@inademv … I think I mentioned that if you read that far.
@lobosolo0333 Except in the free market for that, the doctor can wait until you absolutely need the surgery and then charge what ever they want.
@lobosolo0333 Do that when you are unresponsive
@inademv Actually, a friend of mine was sideswiped by a car while out jogging … three ambulances showed up and he had to choose which hospital he wanted to go to.
Sure, you may not always be in a condition where you can choose but even when an ambulance came to when my father was having chest pains, he told them which hospital to take him to.
And when I’ve gone to the emergency room on my own … I choose the hospital.
@inademv Sure it does. Do you think that when I was face with possible surgery to correct a bulging disc that I just walked into the first neurosurgeon’s office and took his word … and costs … and had the surgery done? Not a chance, I consulted others and was able to correct it with surgery.
@CobraCommander Not if you don’t already have it. Also, the video is not about insurance itself but the cost of the care and its costs. Emergency care is not something that you can shop for.
You cant shop for INSURANCE that covers broken bones or severe infection?
Excellent video! Expert advice! You should upload your video to Ewisdomtv
Elective surgery is something that you shop for, a broken bone or severe infection is not. Free market does not apply to anything beyond elective surgery and preventative care.
there’s a market for it. If no one wanted insurance it wouldn’t exist. It’s only when the government got involved that it became a problem.
Companies that make those drugs that cause more illness than the disease get the pants sued off of them. Also, it’s hard to say that they aren’t justified in charging X price without knowing how much it cost them to research that particular medication. This is cost vs price, and if government were to regulate price control, Big Pharma would go bankrupt because they would have to sell the medication for less than it cost to develop it.
I know you said you had to go, but I was looking back at our discussion and while reading this I thought of another point.
The free market wouldn’t help those who couldn’t afford expensive health care, but there are plenty private non-for-profit organizations that would be able to assist. Just look at how much money is raised for breast cancer by NFP non-government organizations.
Thank you, it was very stimulating. I’d love to pick up when you have the time, perhaps in a private message as not to hog the channel
From the standpoint of a monopoly, you’re right. If there was one huge pharma company out there your logic would make sense. I don’t know how many times I have to say that free market competition keeps this in check.
