Insurance companies and the plans they offer will vary from state to state and the premium with any one plan can vary by zip code. At 22 if you are in good health you should be able to find a catastrophic plan for less than $100 in most states and a comprehensive plan shouldn't be much more than $100. The agent will be able to explain what you need to know - there is not enough space here to tell you everything. You'll need to know about the deductible, the co-insurance, the co-pays and what is covered with the co-pay, what procedures are and are not subject to the deductible, what is excluded from the plans, which doctors accept the plans, the different types of plans and how they operate, the prescription coverage if any, and much more. There is no extra charge using an agent. You need to talk with a local agent that works with all of the major companies in your area.

Unless of course you view treatment of the poorer people a failure. The benefit to not treating a lot of people, is faster care for the wealthy. If you don't want to have universal health care, the government can step in and price fix medical procedures like they do in japan. It works okay for them. They can afford adequate medical treatment because the government forces it to be affordable, and the same prices in rural as in urban areas. The real problem with our system, coming from someone who has an entire family in medicine (Doctors, surgeons, nurses)...is the insurance companies. They buffer every side. The doctors, the hospital, the patients, everyone has to get insurance, and they are the ones forcing prices higher and higher.

The Insurance Company DECIDES what treatment they will authorize & pay for ... or what claim they will deny & cancel the policy. PUBLIC: Your DOCTOR is the one who DECIDES what treatment YOU require. NO profit involved. NO more red tape. NO begging with Insurance Company for approval. All SENATORS in Congress have a GOVERNMENT run PUBLIC PLAN !! STRIKING DIFFERENCE BETWEEN—PRIVATE & PUBLIC—HEALTH CARE:

PRIVATE:
Places the INSURANCE COMPANY between YOU & YOUR DOCTOR. The Insurance Company DECIDES what treatment they will authorize & pay for … or what claim they will deny & cancel the policy.

PUBLIC:
Your DOCTOR is the one who DECIDES what treatment YOU require. NO profit involved. NO more red tape. NO begging with Insurance Company for approval.

Obama has nearly bankrupted the national treasury and now HAS to raise taxes on EVERYONE if he wants to have Universal Health Care. And even after this he will still be short a about 10 billion or so. This will ruin the economy and cause long waiting lists in hospitals. Look at California. They are bankrupt and have to cut welfare hand outs because people are exploiting the system. This is a foreshadow of the future.
