How does American health insurance work? Can anyone recommend somewhere to find more information?
I am interested in the differences between healthcare in the UK and US. I am looking at all aspects from visiting your local doctor, getting and paying for prescriptions, all the way through to how complex treatments such as cancer or mental health are managed and paid for.

Look up Blue Cross/Blue Shield and see what their plans are. In addition, there is Sharp-Reese-Stealey, Kaiser, and Scripps HMO plans you should check out as well. They are all a pain and usually do whatever they can to make sure the patient doesn’t get treated as a human, or treated period. It sucks, to put it simply. Hope this helps!!!

Get the book “Healthcare for Less” by Michelle Katz…it will explain everythnig in simple terms and help you save a ton of money in the process.
