Mhm. I think any chances to the current health insurance system in America should be done in small increments. The problems mentioned above didn't occur overnight, and as much as I'd like to see efforts to address them taken as soon as possible, I'm sure how succesful attempting to solve them al in one swoop would be. If pre-existing conditions were included in most healthcare plans, if there were stricter rules regarding when companies can refuse to fund necessary treatment, and if steps were taken to help the poor receive affordable coverage through either a public option or an existing insurer; I think at this point, we could call that a victory.
To be honest our insurance policies are quite comprehensive and cover a lot of things you wouldn't think they would.
That's the problem though, it's costs money to do all those things and many of them aren't cheap in the first place.
It's a clash of wants and not wanting to pay for it.
