What’s Wrong With Health Insurance in America?

[Music] 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 health care 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 [Music]
