Best insurance I had was a company that required me to pay "cash" upfront
on doctors visits, medical, and then reimbursed me 100%. Insurance company got the "cash deal" (typically much lower) and we got the benefit of 100% paid. Win, win
Unfortunately left that company.

If politicians actually were interested in fixing the problems of the country a lot of them would become unnecessary.
