I remember the insurance companies warning that my health care would be rationed and the prescriptions my doctor ordered would be changed if we went to Universal Health Care and rates would go up. It did happen. I had to wait for surgery and the medication was changed that my physician prescribed and rates increased. Now the rest of the story. This was twenty years ago with employer provided private health insurance through a blue company. The 400 million dollar insurance ad campaign to defeat the 1990s legislation told the truth. They did not say it would be the private insurance company rates that would be exploding to pay executive bonuses and they would be rationing care.
