Two reasons: Obviously, because outpatient care generally costs less. But the secondary reason is, because the longer a person is in the hospital, the more likely they'll pick up something nasty from someone ELSE in the hospital, and need even MORE treatment.

Did you see the article that Medicare plans to charge back to hospitals, for treatments to patients that pick up infections IN the hospitals?

No, taxes would be through the roof to pay for all the stuff you mentioned. Also, your plan to tax businesses within the U.S. is just asking for job outsourcing. And FORCING everyone to have two trees on their property? That's too much government.

Sorry bud.

"OH NOES! I want a plan that charges outrageous premiums and denies me the most basic of benefits! I need a plan that will cancel as soon as I get sick! I need a plan that will refuse to enroll people who have preconditions! I insist on high co-payments and deductibles! I need to have to call the insurance companies and stay on hold for hours for each prescription my doctor writes for me! I deserve to get payment for my emergency surgery that saved my life denied, because I didn't get it approved days in advance! They are violating my rights to deny me access to such a plan!"

This little rant is beyond sad. It is somewhere between ridiculous and pathetic. It is sick. But under the new plan, I bet mental health benefits would be covered. ∠°)

Do YOU realize that we are already…all of us…footing the bill and burden for the uninsured?

From one concerned mom to another,
Ohio has a lot of great doctors and dentists. I have a great site for you to check out:
http://www.qualitymedicalcare.org
You can get a medical plan (medical, dental, vision, prescription, and chiropractic)for your entire family for $59.95 a month and if you don't want the medical part of the plan but want the dental, vision, prescription, and chiropractic then you can get a plan for only $19.95 a month for your whole family.
I hope this helps! You can locate providers in your area and sign up for coverage through the site as well.

It's called a group accident policy, and likely it WOULD be available for your group to purchase.

It covers all members of the group (you provide a roster once a year) for a limited amount of accidental injury coverage – usually $5,000 or $10,000 per person. Um, that much doesn't go very far, if there's a serious injury.

Premium is up to the underwriter. Minimum group premiums are $750 a year, however, I'd guess you're looking at a much higher group minimum premium – likely $500 per person, per year. Plus a deductible, maybe $1,000.

Bottom line – it's going to be limited coverage, and won't be cheaper than a health plan through the employer, AND, EVER SINGLE MEMBER OF THE GROUP would be charged for.

A local, independent agent should be able to get this for you, though. Cigna does group accident policies, but there are other companies out there that do it, as well.
