150 bucks a month to cover a person for emergency visits and preganancies is absurd? your absurd.
i pay close to alil over 200 a month and i am covered for every freakin lil thing but i am fortunate to be an attorney with a good employer plan.
not all people work in corporate america, some people are bartenders, taxi drivers, etc and these people cant afford what priv ins companies ask for.
next time she hurts herself well just leave our wallet at the house and go to the hospital bleeding and not have any identification and get free but albeit slow service.
if 150 a mo for basic services is absurd, how much do you think people should pay for ins a mo under the new health care plan? the whole issue is lowering costs! it shouldnt cost thousands of dollars to take an MRI or 450 bucks for a med tech to take 3 mins in reding an MRI or xray.
and drs are racking up unneccesary treatments for people with health insurance to rack up the bills. see dr in balt city who was implanting 100s of unnecessary stents in peoples veins for money.

Most doctors are doing those extra test to avoid having an attorney sue them because the guy with a cough ended up keeling over because the doctor missed something. My buddy pays $109,000 for malpractice ins. and has never had a claim in his 25 yrs. I guess you missed the link I provided that shows rates for your 30 yr old girlfriend for under $200 a month. I'm guessing if she cannot afford a couple hundred a month for health coverage she must not have a cell phone, cable, or INTERNET access. Is that true?
