Unfortunately then you have a company carving out many medicines or even newer more effective higher cost treatments.
Perhaps a basic plan, and a tiered plan.
Depending on income? Indigent? You would have basic health care, and prescriptions.
A member contribution tier for more perks?
Many health companies in the past and now have refused to pay for Birth Control pills but cover a delivery.. What's up with that?

See, you guys have me thinking about something I've not thought about more than superficially.

Employers aren't going to pay for any national health coverage. They're sending their work overseas! Talk to the downsized.

Maybe I might rob a bank! If I am incarcerated, I would have a right to health care!
RayH, you're in an area Kaiser has a very strong presence.
Have you checked with them about insurance?

I miss Kaiser, I paid for my own for about 17 years when I was in the Los Angeles area, I received excellent care. I'd go back anytime. What a shock for me to get into the real world and find out why people really complain about insurance...

I know what you mean about preexisting...
Heck, who does make it to mid life or so and NOT have something preexisting!
