Insurers offer to stop charging sick people more
This is an excellent idea, and is a compromise that I have been encouraging for quite some time. If everyone is required to have health insurance, then there won't be any problem of people waiting until they get sick and then getting insurance at a cheap price. I hope that the Obama Administration will consider this option as an important part of its health care plan.
It's good to see the insurance companies willing to make this compromise, and I think this bodes well for the future of health insurance in this country.
Sounds like the insurance industry is scared of UHC to me, and that's why they are making this compromise. UHC is about to drag their bottom line right out from under them. They are worried, and they should be.
I want to see more compromise than just this. I want to see contracts with no ridiculous loopholes which, at the last second, deprive people of emergency care, long-term care, care for chronic illness, etc. I want the corruption ended, otherwise I will be for UHC in the United States until I see it put into effect.
