I agree with that.

It is weird in the sense that we could never think of something like that, things such as a "doughnut hole" where a few months a year you don't have an insurance.
I currently live and work in the US, love it, love the country. I have the chance to have a great plan thanks to my company. But i'm not sure how much more I can keep tacitly approving this system.

- maxerickson 11y agoThe doughnut hole isn't that weird, a coverage was expanded, with a limit on how far it was expanded. The limitation is on spending, not related to the calendar beyond that: https://www.medicare.gov/part-d/costs/coverage-gap/part-d-coverage-gap.html https://www.medicare.gov/part-d/costs/coverage-gap/part-d-co... Of course once the annual limit is reached coverage is reduced for a period of time, but there will also be cases where the limit is not reached. And while it doesn't compare favorably to a simpler to access program that covers all expenses, enacting it didn't make anybody that ends up using it worse off.
