I was really referring to the federal income tax, which is the biggie. Currently it does not allow individuals to deduct the cost of medical premiums unless a 7% (of income) threshold is met. No such threshold is necessary for the insurance premiums that corporations pay.
You are correct that catstrophic insurance is available. However, what I mean is that more limited, basic health plans should be available.
A doctor in Rochester, NY tried to set up a low-cost clinic for working class folks. For a very reasonable fee each month, they would receive a very specified set of services (annual check-up, treatment of mild conditions like the flu, and broken arms, etc.) The state insurance department stepped in and said that he was operating an insurance operation, and as such, he would have to offer all the coverage mandated by law. He disbanded the practice.

The results also showed blacks and hispanics had a rate half that of whites. I wonder if they are less depressed or less able to get the medicine.
I’m sure they are less neurotic and paranoid than whites but those are different meds.
I find that hispanics are far less inclined to nail biting, which says something.
