What's Wrong With Health Insurance in America?

Posted by Bobby Brown on December 19, 2023 - 3:53pm

Reforming health insurance in this country begins with redefining our understanding of what insurance is and what it supposed to cover. Insurance isn’t for routine or predictable expenses. Over time, we have come to expect all of our health care to be provided through insurance, and covering more has helped make health insurance cost more.

As the cost of health insurance continues to rise, we're all left thinking the same thing. There must be a way for people to get the health care they need at a more affordable price. Luckily, there are ways to make health insurance more affordable without jeopardizing quality or access to healthcare. That process begins by redefining our understanding of what health insurance is and what it is supposed to do. Insurance in general is meant to protect you from expensive and unexpected events, not routine or predictable expenses. Home insurance doesn't cover the things like replacing light bulbs or old kitchen appliances that break down it kicks in when a pipe bursts or a tree remodels your living room. 


And you'd never expect auto insurance to pay for gasoline or car washes. Insurance is there for the big events to protect you from financial catastrophe, but over time, health insurance has been mandated to cover more routine and predictable expenses and even services you may never need. Because of this, many people have come to believe that health insurance should cover all their medical needs, but covering more costs more, so health insurance prices have gotten higher and higher in order to pay for things that insurance was never meant to cover.

The first step in bringing costs down is to refocus coverage on emergency and catastrophic events so that health insurance functions like true insurance again which of course due to policitics, it will never happen
