Those with the misfortune of requiring chemotherapy and radiotherapy would likely appreciate if they could buy a cheap policy that only covered conventional treatment for life-threatening illnesses such as cancer, rather than being priced out of the market because their insurance is required to cover services they will never or rarely use such as maternity benefits, mental health, prescription drugs, laboratory work, etc.
The Democrats shut down every grocery store and restaurant that does not offer substantial discounts on caviar, foie gras, halibut, King crab, etc. and then complain that it is too expensive for the poor to buy food.
this is a horrible analogy. Under the concept you just described, insurance companies are going to offer a "cheap policy that covered only conventional treatment for cancer" and other life threatening illnesses (not sure that's ever happened in history, but ok) 1. you really think that would be CHEAP? 2. Interesting list of things not to cover: Prescription drugs?
that can cost thousands, even for relatively minor non-life threatening issues like psoriasis. How about back problems? lab work? what exactly are you even saying? 3. are you comparing mental health care to foie gras?
this is a hilariously ridiculous comparison.
