      I’d say it works. My son has had it for a few years. He paid $164/mo and his weekly doc appt cost $26. His job recently began offering insurance so he can’t keep Obamacare. Now he pays Cigna $140/mo and his weekly appt is $125 because they don’t cover it.

      It’s not some wonderful perfect system; it’s the compromise we could get. What matters is that it’s better than what there was before it.
