If I wasn't already a believer in health insurance for everyone, I would become one now.
My bill for visiting the travel clinic just came in. I don't understand why a one hour visit and consultation would cost $745, but after my plan kicked in, my payment is just under $7. Wow! Before my visit, neither the clinic nor the insurance agent I spoke to could inform me of what would and wouldn't be covered. I steeled myself for a nasty surprise that might be at least 10 times what I'm being charged, so this is quite pleasant. I almost wish I had another tropical vacation coming up so I could make use of my insurance again.
So why is it that people in other states are resisting coverage for everyone? If my low budget Massachusetts plan is a model, seems like it would be a great thing for the masses. The affordability is great, but so is the peace of mind.
