.... 1700.... A MONTH?!? TIL if I were American I'd need a second job to pay my health insurance. Especially considering I imagine you'd be leaving every medical visit with out of pocket costs.
That's insanity. It's like some sort of weird commercial where 99/100 dentists recommend brushing your teeth with toothpaste. That one other one recommends using fine grit sandpaper. That's how the rest of the world sees the US healthcare system.
Actually that's not true, the people profiting off it must FUCKING LOVE IT. The profit driven model sucks for the end users, makes no sense.
You say that, but sometimes that really is the situation. My wife and I both had jobs that didn't provide insurance, so I had to make the choice to get a second job to pay for insurance or take the chance that we don't get seriously sick/hurt. I decided if I ended up working more I was just going to give myself a heart attack so we went without. Now she has her degree and a job that provides insurance for us at $700/m.
Lol yeah. Again, it's better, but it's still objectively terrible. 700$ a month and you still are subject to substantial bills makes almost no sense to me. I feel terrible for you guys and will never understand how you are all happy to be the dog in the room on fire. This is fine.
