The current responder fails to include several caveats:------------------------------------------
1. The premium does not cover all costs. There are deductibles
and copays that can total up to $2000 per year "out of pocket"
expenses.
2. The premium rates could escalate substantially year over year
depending on the plan actuarial losses
3. Many individuals may have difficulty obtaining health insurance
at all depending on preexisting conditions or they may be subject
to substantial surcharges depending on the nature of the condition.
In other words it is not as simple as it looks as some people would
lead you to believe. However, for those that can afford it, the accessibility
to care and technology is probably better down here and when someone
needs urgent admission to hospital they don't have to lie around the E.R. for 2 days.
