Psshh... you expect your health insurance to actually do what's best for your health?
If that was the case, it should cover locally raised meat and organic vegetables first, then a good bed.Beds

Ask your insurance company. That wasn't really the point. You can sleep on pile of broken bricks if you want. Life choices, yours to make.
The point is that a restful sleep is important to our health, just like eating well even though your health care insurance does not pay for your groceries.

We’re on year #22 of a former premium package from OMF. Looks/feels like it’s ready for another 20.
Might it be because we don't have actual HEALTHcare in this country? But that's a totally differing discussion. Read the book American sickness for further info.
Health insurance is a fraud in many ways.

We've helped relatives with medical bills in another country and I can tell you that procedures there cost less than my dog's vet bills.
The issue, in my opinion, with health insurance is that we use it far too much. This allows for the huge costs we see now, both for insurance coverage and for medical services.
If we only used health insurance like we do auto, property and umbrella it would make more sense.
We don't make claims against our property policies when a few shingles get blown off the roof in a storm. Yet, every single interaction with any health care entity gets run through insurance. That allows them to jack up the price and then come to an agreement with the insurer on what they are willing to pay.
If we paid for basic services out of pocket we could determine what we are willing to pay and we could treat healthcare like any other market based service. This would limit cost on both sides of the equation. Of course the genie is out of the bottle now.
The absolute last thing we need in this country is a socialist system where the gubmint pays for our health care. If you think it's bad now, just wait.
