Health insurance not the same as health care
In the March 5 Register, state Sen. Jack Hatch began an important conversation about fixing our broken health-care system. However, he failed to identify the true reform that is needed in this state.
In his op-ed, Hatch compared health-insurance coverage to our requirements to possess automobile insurance. Automobile and health insurance can not be considered analogous. A consumer of automobile insurance usually shops around, comparing prices and coverage before making a decision. This is not always the case with health-care coverage, where options are limited. Individuals find high premiums with minimal coverage, often opting for higher deductibles in order to have basic coverage.
Health insurance provides support to individuals and families to cover health care.
