        And you have to wait for hours to see a doctor you already had an appointment booked two weeks prior. We pay $1k per month for a $6K deductible plan. We are teachers.

        Rx costs will escalate 25% over the next sev yrs. RX is 25% of total plan spend. If an employer’s spend is $3mi yr = $188k. Employers pass this to employees through payroll deductions - year after year. It is crippling for many families.

        I'd rather pay the same amount to the government for universal health care without outrageous copays and bean counters denying claims.
