Not so Sure Health plans at it again

I just received yet another call today from a lady in Colorado who got stuck with $28,000 in hospital bills for kidney stones.  Unfortunately this is another example of "learning the hard way" that discount health plans are basically scams and should be shut down.  Regardless of what you think, they certainly do more harm than good.  I also see a growing population of immigrants being turned to these plans and being taken advantage of since they don't necessarily understand what "real" health insurance looks like and how it operates.  I think it's sadder still that they're being taken advantage of by their own kin because they speak the same language.  I'm not sure they understand fully what The American Dream is all about. 

The only example I've come across that seems to make any sense for these plans is for the illegal immigrants since they can't get health insurance.  But, that opens up a whole different conversation.  I put these warnings out there to hopefully save you some money down the road, but unfortunately there's nothing I can do after you find out the hard way.  If the government wants more people to be covered by health insurance, they need to get rid of the catalysts preventing them from doing so and DISCOUNT HEALTH PLANS should be a priority.
