Jack 在一家大公司工作,有很好的 健康保险。
有一天 他不舒服,见医生,建议各种 TESTs。没问题,Jack 可以请病假。
不好的事,Jack 发现有癌症, 需要做手术 和 化疗。没问题,Jack 有保险,可以请
病假。
手术很成功,但是需要继续化疗;没问题, Jack took 6-month short-term
disability leave。
半年后,Jack 还是不能回去上班,得继续治疗,他只有离开公司 (no company would
keep an employee on its payroll indefinitely if he/she couldn't perform his
/her job). 好消息是,Jack 可以 继续 加入 公司的 Group Plan (18 months 或 2

2 年后,Jack 的 病情 得到控制,但医生说 他得 继续 治疗,而且 药费 特别贵。但
公司的 Group Plan 的两年期限要到了,怎么办呢? |

on 发帖数: 199 | 7 一并回复:
Long-term disability insurance: yes, many firms offer this, but it's about
salary replacement. It's NOT medical insurance. Also, the payment comes
directly from an insurance company and has nothing to do with the original
employer which just paid long-term disability premiums. One is NOT
considered to be an employee anymore once one is on this.
Cobra extension: It'd be helpful if a law extends its time limit, but not
yet, right? Even if the law is changed for cobra (well, nobody even talked
about this so it's highly unlikely), what if the company eventually goes
bankcrupted?
Life insurnace: this offers benefit to family AFTER one dies. The issue here
is about how to get medical insurance when one is ill.
How many people would benefit from a universal healthcare? Good point. The
vast majority of middle classes would be able to afford seeing a doctor /
receiving treatment, as long as the illness is not too serious and lasts too
long like the case discussed here. Also, just a tiny fraction of people
would get terribly debilitating car accidents, so it's very true the chance
for any of us to get into such a situation. But the same arguments could
apply to almost any other insurances, such as like, car, home, etc. I know
many don't carry life insurance, and often read stories here to ask for
donation once some terrible accidendts happened...
Nothing wrong with that, but hope everyone makes a good, and informed
decision, than based on some misperception.

s**x 发帖数: 7506 | 9 "真正的insurance是自己选的". not necessarily true.
think about your car insurance, you know what happens if you do not buy.
forcing everyone to buy insurance does not sound cool of course.
I think the government should just collect tax and use part of tax to do
health insurance. even supreme court agrees this is a tax even though Obama
disagree. it is funny. it is all politics.
Obama should cut more other government program instead of raising any taxes,
but again it is hard for him to do especially during the bad economy. but I
think this is also what republican wants.
so it is comprise, not that bad.

G****s 发帖数: 3523 | 22 selling fear is what politicians do.
they sell, we buy. most of time it's an acceptable trade.
politicians win big, but we don't lose much, because there is a large number
of us. In this trade, we gain some security too. It's not always a robbery.
when politicians start to sell something that people don't even want to buy,
it's the politician's problem, not the people's.
I'll tell you a better answer to your example:
if you are single, die. it's better than living like that.
if you have a family to support, get life insurance when you are healthy.
when you have cancer that drains all your money you saved to support your
family and your children's education, and there is no hope that you will get
back to work (give up, my friend, after 2 years of the cancer you described
), commit suicide.
Is living like that, trading all your dignity for a few years's meaningless
life, more important than your dignity?

B******e 发帖数: 5730 | 30 我同意买保险应该是个人决定
例如,有的美国公民,生下来就住在海外,根本就用不到美国保险,应该让他们选择不
加入。
但是,健康保险制度必须有效对付,想走漏洞,占整个社会的便宜的 free riders
对于选择不参加保险的人,应该有2项规定
1. 生了病,急诊室没有义务急救,必须先出示财力证明,并有人担保负担医疗费
2. 年轻时不保,老了患病风险高了,想参加保险,必须一次性将未交的保费付清,
包括医疗费用 inflation compounded (注意,这不是 consumer price
inflation, 是每年10%以上) 再加上危害保险制度的罚款(如果每个人
都选择病了才投保,保险制度就垮了,所以必须有条款鼓励人参加)
结论是,你可以选择不参加,但是要承担风险
