Lion,
Your last para is beautiful. I couldn’t agree more.
The trouble with many ppl is that they will say:-
“why must I pay $1 more when I am not benefitting from it? Someone else (ie baby with defect) is benefitting at my expense.”
IMHO, this kind of reasoning is flawed. Insurance biz must have cross-subsidy to be viable.
ReplyHi Lion,
I believe there is a typo-error in this line:
“Currently, those newborns with certain pre-existing conditions can be rejected even from Medishield, which means (in the absence of proper advice) they would likely have to grow up with any form of health insurance.”
I believe it should be:
“… they would likely have to grow up WITHOUT any form of health insurance.”
I wish for the same thing as you.
Cheers!
