Yeah, some people are paying a thousand or more per month, only to get denied when they need treatment. What the fuck is that?
If they're retired for 20 or 30 years, that's at least $200,000 to $300,000 that they're paying into a total scam over the course of their retirement.
They're going to need that money to pay for the treatment that the insurance companies are going to deny their claims for.
Health insurance is a scam, and insurance companies are robbers and crooks.
$1000 a month would be cheap.
My share of premiums for my family plan is $20k/year. My employer is a non-profit and very transparent about expenses. They pay an additional $30k.
That's before deductible. Also not counting Medicare tax.
That means 50k/yr. I'm fairly well paid. That's nearly a fifth of my total compensation package, and almost than the median adult income in my town. Just in premiums.
Damn, that's crazy. You could deliver a baby for less than that. Maybe support a whole pregnancy and have some left over.
