Anyways, he got on Medicaid insurance which covered his 3 month hospital stay, and now is at home, still going to therapy. His parents did not go bankrupt, although the mother quit her job so she could help take care of him at home. That was about 8 months ago.

That's what would happen, and it did.


The general public doesn't want to pay co-pays, high deductables, money out of their pockets for basic care. They complain to me about it all the time.

yes, a catstrophic plan is the type of insurance that makes sense, especially for someone who has accumulated some assets, but that's not the type of insurance that can be "sold" to the public.

Maybe if a President made over 30 speeches in favor of a MUCH lower cost catastrophic plan the public might listen. At least listen better than when he said over and over that he would cover 47 Million more and without pre-existing exclusions for less money. The fleas on my dog know that's ridiculous and IMPOSSIBLE.
