KPBS : reported that Report: Health Insurance Does Not Fully Protect Against Financial Pain From Cancer

Singleterry says Cancer patients may need a treatment that their insurance plan does not cover. Her report recommends that consumers make sure their health insurance is affordable in terms of monthly premiums and in terms of deductibles and co-pays. It finds even people with health insurance face stiff out-of-pocket costs. A new report from the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network highlights the problem. Having insurance is no guarantee against the financial pain of cancer.

Health Insurance – State Barriers Repeal

Why can't the Geico Gecko sell health insurance from coast to coast? Freeing them and new players to offer medical coverage nationwide would be an important and welcome way to make health insurance great again. "State insurance commissioners won't like it," Forbes's Avik Roy, M.D., recently predicted, "because it decreases their power when insurers can relocate."Too bad. He wonders: "Why not international health insurance?" Why not, indeed? Congress should use the U.S. Constitution's Interstate Commerce Clause to terminate these officials' veto power over which health insurers can enter their territories.
