My Insurance Experiences

Did any of you see the Movie Sicko? Really sheds a new light on Health insurance doesn’t it? Does not paint a pretty picture of things going on either. Some say some things in that movie were not true. What do you think? I think it seems pretty true and real to me.It was a bit hard to swallow though when they took those people to Cuba for treatment.Thats bad though when American people are slipping across the Canadian border to get free Health care.I think the USA can and should make sure all their citizen’s have affordable health Care.If Canada can do it the USA should be able to. I would like to hear what everyone else thought about that movie.I think it makes the USA look like it does not care about its citizens.I think there should be caps put on how much any company can charge for any and all types of insurance.Health care cost are way to high.I had 3 stitches put in my leg and the bill was around $1,300.00! That is ridiculous and the nurse did everything BUT put in the stitches.The whole thing must have taken about 15 minutes!When you go to pay the hospital will know off a % of their bill if you pay right then. If they can do that then why not charge that to begin with?The world revolves around money any more not people.In the end it will NOT depend on how much money we have.

Where I live we have a lot of Amish around us. The way they afford health insurance is by having dinners for the community at a charge.Once or twice a year they have these dinners to collect money for their health insurance as a group.It goes into a pool I assume and pays for any health related costs. In my opinion it isn’t a bad idea.I feel that probably don’t go to doctors as often as some of us too.They probably only go for extreme reasons not for maintenance the way some of us do with insurance.I think insurance companys like for us to have check ups that way it saves them money in the long run.
