What do you expect ? In my opinion they provide a pathway to limit healthcare. Here is my suggestion. Totally get away from health insurance companies. Let hospitals provide different policies for different coverages. Have the government provide subsidies to hospitals for the poor, disabled, and low income areas of country. The way health insurance companies make millions of dollars of profit , is again by limiting coverage and raising rates. You may not know this , but insurance companies cut doctors bill all the time as well. There is no good reputable health insurance companies out there. Its all about their profit . Veterans health care should be provided by local doctors not the sham and wasteful assistance of the veterans administration.

In Aussie we have medibank private,with mine and venny's operations we have recieved more than we have put in,,however it is getting harder to pay the premiums as they go up in leaps and bounds,,they are probably losing money because so many people cannot afford to stay in it,,and the younger generation do not see why they should be in it,,when they get to 60 years old ,then they will say "oh that's why"..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<..

Agree with what you say about health insurance companies. My parents paid into BUPA (British United Provident Assn) for many years but did not pay anything towards my mother's Alzheimers. They do not pay out for chronic or incurable conditions.
In Europe we have tax funded medical care. We complain about the amount we have to pay but it is available to all regardless of income.

In 2014, my health insurance cost me about $7,800 AND then I had out-of-pocket expenses for every visit, every prescription, any and all lab work, mammogram and diagnostics. That is a HUGE amount of money for someone who had nothing exceptional for the year.
The cost of the premiums is outrageous.
