[QUOTE="JD8, post: 4259632, member: 24"] It doesn't really matter if you agree or not. Unless they are subsidized, meds are typically more expensive in cash. Sure you can buy drugs from Walmart's $4 list. Kind of funny how that proves my point about capitalism providing solutions. But that list is limited. One of my son's inhalers is $400 cash. He has two different ones, not sure what the other costs. My eliquis is ~$600 cash. Avastin, the most commonly prescribed drug for cancer is ~$800 a month cash. You are correct, they give them out, in personal loans and things like credit cards. Looks like you made my argument for me, though, rates for personal unsecured loans and credit cards are significantly higher. I mean if you want to pay ~15-29% on your mortgage just to save some money on insurance. I don't think that math works out well for most, but I think you're looking at this from an emotional standpoint. You just want the government to fix your problems instead of doing a bit of homework and choosing another insurance carrier. [/QUOTE]
