  • Many people are voting red because they think it will be better for their personal finances, with promises of lower taxes. They don’t look at the benefits: that use to outweigh the cost, which we’ve mostly lost Even though we still pay high taxes and high cost of living for things that are now for (higher) profit (healthcare, school, etc.). It’s not wrong to try and look at your bottom line, it’s just a short-sighted bottom line.

    At least this is the conversation I have with people who consider themselves moderates who lean right and tend to vote Republican.








  • Most people can’t fight it. Fighting a claim, depending on insurance, requires multiple different Doctors recommending the same thing. Sometimes the insurance requires prior steps taken that are unavailable to individuals (I was required to take antibiotic that I’m allergic to before a surgery). Getting into a specialist can take months, and the costs of seeing a specialist are not often covered at all (goes towards deductible), and unless you live in or near a city you may not be able to find specialists you don’t need to get a hotel to see (travel expenses and time off work are not covered). Not to mention, if fighting a denied claim rolls over to the next year, everything starts over, even if you have the same insurance it’s considered a new policy because it’s a new year.

    Unless you have unlimited time and money, fighting a denied claim is pretty difficult and goes nowhere fast. That’s how the system was designed.
