Are the insurance companies free to decide what to cover and what not to cover, there being no minimum requirements, for all insurance plans they offer?

Despite "universal" health care, you could quite easily lose your insurance then? Or have an insurance plan which effectively covers next to nothing?

Are they allowed to discriminate (e.g. based on age)?

Does everyone who has a BP diagnosis qualify for Medicare?

Of course there are alternatives to for-profit health insurance companies. Many countries in Europe have a public/national insurance payed for by taxes, state revenue.
