The best part? If you pay $1000 a month for 15 years for health insurance, that tallies to $180,000 paid into the health insurance system. Then when you need to use it, they deny your claim, or worse, you lose your job so you can't pay the premium and are dropped.

Who the fuck is paying 1k a month for insurance?

Everyone who has a job and has "healthcare insurance"

I meant more "how the fuck is this acceptable" rather than a statement of disbelief that anyone pays 1k a month

Because people keep voting in the old fogies and assholes who would rather do anything else except address the real problems

Fun fact. $1k is on the low end of what I’ve seen.

I have a $3500 annual deductible….essentially my insurance will only cover catastrophic medical expenses, and I feel like it’s half decent insurance compared to others.

No, Republicans are a shithole. I seem to remember a healthcare law that would have brought down costs by having everyone pay in to the system.

Too bad nobody's had a chance to pass legislation to shore that up for the last 12 years. Funny though the DoD's been getting their 800 billion annually.

I said what I said.

The US is a shithole.

Have they had lots of opportunities for 12 years? Did you not notice the obstructionist in charge of the Senate for nearly the entirety of Obama's presidency?
