Hospitals ovrgahcere and bill in favor of themselves. The insurance is so complicated and confusing, that no one really knows for sure what is covered and what isn't. And when people try to understand the rules, they end up doing it wrong because it is so complicated to understand. But make sure as a minimum that you get something that is going to protect your family in case of a major accident or illness. Most likely, you'd pay a deductible and the rest of the bill should be covered by insurance. What cost so much is all the options, such as outpatient care, pharmancy, maternity, etc. I recommend Health Net, but the only problem with them is that they charge a co-pay for preventative care, whereas most others do not.
