Everybody is entitled to AFFORDABLE and good medical care.
I have not looked into the new universal medical plan system, yet. I am still covered by my employer plan… I (currently) pay $1400 annual premium with a $4000 deductible per plan year and $20-$40 co-pays (depending on primary care physician or specialist). Co-pays do not go toward meeting the deductible. Total out-of-pocket limit is (currently) $4000. If I go to an out-of-network provider, all expenses increase.
All of this will most likely change in 2015 when the next insurance plan year will put us at the mercy of the insurance companies gouging us. Right now, this plan year, we are grandfathered in at our current premium rates, deductibles and plan limits.

I pay $23 per month and it covers my wife and I – for ALL medicare costs. I can get a doctors appointment on the same day – no other payment. All lab tests are included. I am a profissional driver, so I have to pay medical exams that my licence requires, every 2 years ($75). But that’s it. What’s wrong with the USA?
