A few days ago you posted a very personal and very thoughtful piece on the Difference Between Health Care and Health Insurance. It was an excellent, and thought-provoking piece on what's wrong with the current system.
For me it was a problem in that I either had to skip replying or write something far too lengthy to go into the comments section.
So I didn't reply. But I have been working on a fairly lengthy response that I think might surprise you. Real life being what it is, however, this one is requiring some research and may take at least another week to show up.
Just didn't want you to think I missed it.

After I wrote that post I thought of another personal incident...
We had planned on a normal delivery when my son was born. Unfortunately, the baby went into fetal distress and my blood pressure crashed. As I was rushed into surgery - uncertain what was going to happen to me or my baby - I kept telling my husband to call our insurance company.
You see, in order to have a C-section (scheduled or emergency) covered we had to notify the insurance company within 24 hours of the procedure. What a disgrace. I'm sure this helped my blood pressure. God, I was nuts... and young... and broke.
