This morning I searched the internet hoping to find the actual cost of health care in the USA. I was hoping to find the actual total cost, including health insurance, medical bills, prescribed medicine over the counter medicine. I was looking for the total cost of it all. Never did find anything but found a seven page article at this website. I found it interesting. http://www.tefen.com/data/uploads/The%20Tefen%20Tribune/Will%20the%20BabyBoom%20Bust%20Healthcare.pdf
Also found articles where a CT scan would cost anyone without insurance up to $6500 and if a person was insured the cost to the insurance company would be in the range $500 more or less.
Also this morning on Face the Nation it was shown that an employer furnishing insurance to an employee was faced with an insurance premium
in the 12 to 13 thousand range. With the employer picking up around 9 thousand of it and the employee the rest. The employer can pass on his part within the cost of the product that is being produced and also take it of of the bottom line as an expense. The employee is getting 9 thousand dollars worth of insurance given to him as far as he is concerned. Should this be considered part of his income and taxed.
Do the people in America really know the true cost of health care or not.
All they see is the copay and their part of the premium. This my opinion and mine alone. Let us discuss it.
