Health Care Reform - Real Choice with the Status Quo?


Who has real choice in health care insurance now?

Employers choose for employees.

Folks with pre-existing conditions have no good choices and can be restricted from moving to better positions for fear of no coverage.

Folks with severe conditions go broke with the deductibles and co-pays, then tap out on their policies to find no other options.

Employees whose employers don't provide coverage are often low-wage earners who can't afford their own coverage.

Folks who have insurance are dictated to by the insurer as to when they can see specialists.

Folks whose deductible is well out of their means have no choice.

Folks without insurance mainly have only the emergency room, unless, of course, they're wealthy.
