I think what irritates me the most is that insurance corporations have so much control over what happens with health care.

As a person who doesn't get a huge income that insurance cost coming out of my paycheck every two weeks is a big deal. My boyfriend went uninsured for months because he couldn't afford health care. During that period of time he did actually need it, but there was no way he could afford a doctor appointment. To me, that is a huge deal.

Also, his grandmother was recently diagnosed with cancer. After over a MONTH of dealing with her insurance company they finally gave her their approval to go ahead with the surgery. A MONTH! The woman had cancer! That is upsetting to me.

Yes, the quality of healthcare is good in the US, I don't deny that. I just don't like how you have to be rich to reap the benefits.
