Dizzy in the maze of health insurance:

I went a year or two back and foundered about the distinctions between A1, B3, C41 (the sobriquets were more ), end up with my initial supplier, through dread more than anything else.

It is not feasible for the ordinary person to produce an individualised contrast between strategies -- provided that you don't understand which contingency expects you, just how long the company will remain solvent or untaken-over, and also the way the Government will alter the rules of this match (Sláintecare in the horizon). Bamboozlement is the order of the evening.

I am one of those hated loyal consumers. I really don't like changing suppliers. On the odd occasion once I do this, it turns out as intended. The new all-helpful firm puts up its prices within weeks, the older foot-dragging provider invokes a hidden word that means I am obliged to repay it a couple months' adjustments for the liberty of making it.

I truly don't need to devote some more of my valuable and declining times studying through turgid legal stipulations and fretting about my comprehension of these, also, of course the anxiety that I am missing out.

Why is it that our strategy rewards wise and canny customers while neglecting to shield people who suffer from difficulties (era, learning impairment, etc)?

Why not the different well-remunerated regulators (in telecoms, power and insurance) straighten the playing area by emphasizing Plain English records, shared prices for old and new customers or at the very least a limit on differentials?
