That's how insurance works.
But you still haven't explained how that LA hairdresser is going to come up with $200,000 for her chemotherapy??
She can't necessarily expect to get that kind of treatment from a state hospital.
The only fair way is some kind of single payer system, as with education. | Bad drivers pay more than good drivers. Drivers with several accidents and tickets can get dropped by insurance companies. Many home insurance companies are dropping people if they make frivolous claims.
I really don't know what that hairdresser is gonna do. But I also don't know the real story behind the inaccuracies on her application. Like I said in the beginning, nearly ever time you hear a story like this, there's something iffy going on. It reminds me of all those "victims" of adjustable rate mortgages. Weren't easily obtainable mortgages the result of "victims" that couldn't qualify for regular mortgages?
Education is different than health care. This is my new signature. |
