Yes. We just moved back to WA after 5 yrs in Belgium. The full cost of a doctor's appointment was about $27 dollars there - that's with no insurance, just the full cost. We just got a bill for an appointment here, and the full cost in the U.S. is $339. Our system is broken.
Breaking a bone shouldn’t break the bank, coming down with a high fever shouldn’t come with a high cost, and filling a prescription shouldn’t mean emptying a savings account. That’s why families want us to come together to address high health care costs.

It's working EXACTLY they way our politicians want it to.

I should not have to be late on bills just to afford the premiums. I should not have to be sent to the collection agency because I cannot afford the deductible. I should not have to take out loans to payoff balances after meeting the deductible!

My high deductible health insurance is going up 20%! It's not that I can't afford to get sick, I can't afford to be healthy!

It shouldn't. But when your congressperson is a bought and paid for extension of the
#healthcare &#BigPharma lobby--it's tough to get past that hurdle and do the right thing for your constituents. Eh, Patty?#Beholden#WednesdayMorningpic.twitter.com/lENOb24v7G

Why are insurance companies allowed to gobble up healthcare delivery businesses? Polyclinic is no longer routed in our community. Anti trust enforcement is called for.

Rooted not routed.
