THE question to ask Ryan and republicans

Describe to me a "family plan" in the private health market(Blue cross).

When they finish here is your rebuttal.
There is no family plan. it is individual policies under the "umbrella". each person has a separate policy with a separate out of pocket that doesn't contribute to a " family plan".

In other words
My policy which was the most popular and wasn't a catastrophic plan

4 people
2,000 deductible per person 70-30 after meeting deductible
5,500 out of pocket
kids are combined
total out of pocket $16,500.id everyone get's sick
6 visits to Doctor-$40 copay. any thing else goes against deductible
RX- $350 per person deductible

If you bought the one plan up the cost came out the same if you got sick.

This is sick stuff and repubs and people like Ryan have never bought their own.


They will say no way and tell them this is the way it is.

My latest experience . I wet to the emergency room and they tried not to pay for the Doctor by saying he was out of network and more that customary. It took me 3 calls and it is still in limbo.. they said it was a glitch. hardy Har har. they were seeing if they could get away with it.
