For whatever reason many Americans are comfortable and satisfied with their current insurance. Perhaps it's because they've only needed it for minor problems, and haven't been faced with high deductibles. It doesn't really matter because it's their life and their choice.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Why does the OP prefer to pay private insurance companies over paying less to our government? Goodheart Jul 2019 #18

The public option would give you the opiton to pay less to our government Reece2076 Aug 2019 #32

I'm not sure it will be less.. I want everyone covered, but Sanders and Warren Hoyt Aug 2019 #34

And on I go... why does the OP think that private insurance companies exist to provide healthcare? Goodheart Jul 2019 #19
