Our current system stinks. Take me for example - I just took my 17 year old son in for a routine office visit at Bend Medical Center. He got two immunizations while there. We have family coverage through Assurant Health. They denied all charges, the office visit cost went for $98 to $241 since it was "uninsured", and the immunizations were $319.00. My out-of-pocket expense for this routine office visit was $560, on top of the $540 I pay a month for insurance. Think how much it would have been for a real problem.
