This recently passed federal plan was a big win for the medical establishment and hospitals, but not so for the patient looking for care. Unless you’re with one of the Blue groups or a PPO, you will be treated like a vagrant. Prices have increased; the co-payment is high, causing one to think whether to postpone the visit to a doctor to a LATER DATE.
The OneCare plan makes more sense and would be affordable to the average Californian. It will be a battle against the insurance giants and the corporations that run the hospitals, rehab homes and nursing homes, as well as Big Pharma. The necessity for affordable medical care is obvious.
