The private insurance sector is manipulating American’s that have insurance. Is it not enough that my spouse and I have a 5000. ded. and pay 600.00/mo.? As a cardiac nurse, I see people coming through the ER, with conditions that cost way more than if they had regular visits with the MD with dx tests, thus treating this person before the “BIG” event. This is costly to the private insurance as well. Prevention is the key. We need more DX tests to be covered. More focus on prevention.
