What are some lies that consumers often tend to believe when it comes to health insurance?

Consumers are often misled and don’t know that they are. Here are some common lies that consumers are being misled about:

Socialized medicine isn’t included in single-payer: This is a very common lie that is being used against many consumers. The truth is that socialized medicine is one big managed care HMO plan, which will, in fact include socialized medicine.
 
Single-payer systems are efficient: Even though Kaiser offers the similar resources as other health service, Kaiser will offer care more quickly, according to a study by the Institute for Global Health at the University of California.

Single-payer systems are usually “free” for individuals: Like all almost all of the things in life that we need, single-payer systems are not free. They are paid for by billions of tax dollars.

Care isn’t rationed by single-payer systems: Because of the fact that patients have every incentive to demand care, and lots of it, single-payer systems must provide rationed care.

High-quality care will be offered by single-payer systems: This is a misleading statement. High-quality care isn’t often provided by single-payer systems, according to many consumers.

Timely care will be offered by single-payer systems: The care that is provided by single-payer systems isn’t usually of high quality, particularly of timely care.

Access to prescription drugs is improved by single-payer systems: Honestly, this isn’t the case. Access to prescription drugs is not improved, and at times delayed by single-payer systems.

Freedom of choice is allowed in single-payer systems: Freedom of choice, access to prescription drugs, among other drugs are many features that single-payer systems aren’t provided.

Systems like these are popular with doctors: Because these systems are often not known to doctors, it is difficult to find a doctor who will be able to provide necessary care with these systems.

These systems are popular with patients: Along with the lie tat these systems are popular with doctors, it is undoubtedly not known to patients.
