1.) i may agree with this but in this case im ok with because of the opinion i have of saving it "might" provide, but i could be admittedly I could be wrong about those savings
Once it makes it to the legislative process, we need to be certain, it will be more cost efficient.
2.) for me 30$ a month isnt a big deal, i cant speak for everyone else
also thats if that women can actually use that type of BC
That's true, but when you look at most individuals/families costs of living, it's marginal at best.
The most expensive birth control, besides sterilization is the IUD, which is around $1000, iirc.
It's effective for 5 years.
That's more cost effective, but has a higher, up front price.
3.) how would you know you are going to need this mental health care to put away for it?????
how many people can afford to do what you are doing?
I don't, that why I save for it.
I put away $10 a week, sometimes surpluses from working overtime.
My company puts in $500 a year, to encourage me to use that plan, plus I get a lower premium.
Now I'm covered for limited mental services, but my plan has a high deductible and overall larger cost sharing, except for the most expensive medical stuff (cancer, heart attack, etc.)
Over all, it's partial self insurance on my part.
It's tax deductible too.
If you start young, it's not a problem for most people.
when i was in between jobs i shopped around for health care the cheapest i could get that actually offered protection (and it still sucked) for me and my daughter was 585 a month.
If we made revisions to the PPACA, you would be covered by Medicaid, until you became employed again.
4.) I agree cost are going to get spread and go up no matter what but in your system i see a possible of health providers of simply not carrying things or the cost skyrocketing in that one group. I wouldnt want that.
Of course, that can largely be offset by keeping and (some what) broadening government medical coverage for people with incurable, lifelong and costly diseases.
