Marshall Allen explains how private insurers like UnitedHealthcare and Cigna charge working Americans 2x to 10x more than Medicare for the same medical services. He uses a Big Mac analogy to show the absurdity and shares how to demand fairer prices.
If you're a working American, I have an important message for you. You are getting ripped off by our health care system. Did you know that the health care system charges different people different amounts for the exact same services they might receive at a doctor or at a hospital? People who are covered by Medicare, that's for adults ages 65 and older, are charged one price, whereas working Americans covered by United Healthcare or Cigna or Aetna, they're charged between two times more than Medicare, five times more than Medicare, even 10 times more than Medicare. That's like if me and my mom went to McDonald's and ordered a Big Mac. McDonald's would charge my mom $3 for the Big Mac, but they would charge me $6 or $9 or $15 or even $30 for the same Big Mac. That is happening to working Americans in health care every day. And it's nothing more than price discrimination against working Americans. Now, if you know this, you can push back against those unfair prices. You can demand that you get a fair deal, and you can insist that there's no reason you should pay more for your health care than anyone else is paying for the services you receive. Check out the links below. I show you exactly how to do it.
