Could one of you spell out, in terms that my simple mind can understand, exactly WHY health care costs so much in AK? I touched on this subject back a while ago, when I found out my health insurance carrier doesn't cover me at all in AK. You mentioned then that the insurance company(s) would most likely fly someone out of state, as it would be cheaper. I guess I just don't really grasp the 'whys' of it all. Thanks.
