Nope(to much open door for corruption) so, not only do current insurance holders still cover that asspect but they are forced to pay into the system as well.  |
A visit to the ER for a non life threatening injury involving a couple of x-ray images will cost about $2,000.00 to $3,000.00, even if there are no broken bones. We need a system that gives people who can't afford insurance somewhere to go other than the ER. This plan will have faults and will need much tweeking, but the current system is also expensive due to situations like the above, and the lack of latitude given doctors to treat patients in order to fit the insurance coding. Not to mention the gold digging lawyers fighting for the compensation you really "don't" deserve.
