I also noticed that we as a country tend to go to the doctos much more, over every little thing, and expect to pnly pay $5 or $10 or whatever it is for your co-pay. I think medical insurence should be for MAJOR health issues.... back in the day health insurence was called catostophic insurence because it covered teh major things, not just going to the Dr. for a cold, or the flu.
We need some help.....

Exactly. Health insurance is the only insurance we have that pays for preventive and standard care. Obviously your auto insurance would cost a lot more if it covered oil changes and tire replacement and your home owner's would be more if it covered the AC repair and painting.

If consumers were responsible for paying for their own preventative and standard care, then rates would be lower.
I have a feeling we're heading that way forcibly - soon the average person will only be able to afford catastrophic coverage. I would get that now if my migraine meds weren't so expensive. :angry:
