Yeah, ehealthinsurance isn't the sum total, but believe me I scrounged around and it really IS the sum total. Yeah, it's a New York State thing, throw in a couple more states the size of NYS with the same 'thing' and you might start to see why this is such an issue... No, paying a $4500 deductible doesn't do you in, but a one million cap might if you get sick enough or have multiple illnesses in the family... How do you explain 20% of people with cancer AND insurance going bust? I've read that in the recent past one of the MAJOR causes of bankruptcy has been serious illness. You sound like Shrub when he says 'you can get healthcare in this country, just go to the emergency room'...
