Bad law made by bad judges and argued by bad attorneys is a MAJOR part of the problem of high health care costs and insurance. Your family’s quality of life and health is at stake.
Here’s how it works against YOU:
1. Bad legislators or judges rule that illegal aliens and other criminals are entitled to all kinds of benefits including free medical care. This free meal-ticket clogs emergency rooms and may interfere with your family’s own ability to get medical care in a true emergency.
2. The hospitals that must provide the mandated medical care must ‘cost-shift’ the cost of providing these services to paying customers and/or insurance companies.
3. When the costs are shifted, you pay more--directly or indirectly. If you pay directly in cash, you pay more out-of-pocket. If you have health benefits provided by your employer, your benefits package price suffers and you get less overall, regardless of your salary package. The employer’s costs must include from the total cost of your employment package go up, so the salary ranges and Cost-Of-Living adjustment opportunities decrease. While sometimes ‘group buying’ provides true group benefits, often they are based on averages and healthy families get less for their money. This is one reason many want health care not provided through their employment.
4. Frivolous and malicious lawsuits filed against health care providers, some by third parties, further increase your hidden or obvious costs and affect the quality of care you will receive.
