I didn’t read every word of Hillary’s health plan but in the summary I never saw anything about the responsibility of the ins. companies to, you know, actually pay the bills. I want one-payer health care but I would consider others if it guaranteed me that the freeking insurance would actually pay the bills.<br /> When I had my first child (nearly 30 yrs ago), I had ins. and so did my husband. Never saw a bill. Everything was automatically pd. When I returned to work 15yrs later everything had changed. Hubby told me not to take out the ins. because his would only pay so much and the balance would not be pd by the second ins. So, then, when we would see mail from his ins. company we knew it was an explanation of why the latest claim was denied. We’ve changed things now. I carry the ins. (a better coverage) but we still have the occasional bill. Luckily we’re still healthy.</p> Morning everyone.
