Reply #75: 85% is what they pay now

[GinaMaria]

actually for some it's 87% and from that 15% the execs still get huge salaries and bonuses. Where's the change? The change is in switching people to individual policies, with high deductibles, co-pays. This discourages utilization. Are you going to get routine care and pay out of pocket or will you only use the insurance for something catastrophic like a car accident? If you don't use your health insurance and pay whatever you pay per month, you will not see 85% of that money in terms of health care.

Ins Cos also broker deals about medical care rates. While the Doctor or hospital may usually charge $100 for a service, they've agreed to get $75 for the service from the ins. co. Wow look there's 25% health care dollars back in the system. :crazy:
