This was my battle last night. Trying to post how much a 3k deductible cost between my employer and I.

  • 10k annual premium for me.
  • 13k for my employers contribution.
  • 3k Deductibles are seperate so 6k for family
  • Max out of pocket 10k.

I have since switched to a “higher” deductible plan with HSA. Still rediculous

Thank you Lemmy developers, server admins, and mods for allowing us to have a have an actual conversation/discussion/debate!

    “private insurance creates competition”

    “I don’t want to pay for someone ELSE’S wellbeing”

    I can’t stand dumb people who can’t do basic math in their head and come to a conclusion outside of “daddy told me this”

      Exactly. My dad… Everytime healthcare for all comes up, he says! Thats socialism! I wont vote for a socialist. I like my private insurance that on average cost 400-500 per month with a 3k deductible max out of pocket 10k vs 180-275 per month for M4A with no deductible.

      Edit…just realized he will be going on medicare soon if it doesnt get culled by our current administration. Wonder what he thinks about that…and his SS.

        My parents are very open minded dems, they both just retired, I hope to God Medicaid doesn’t get shit canned. They both worked way to hard and medicaid is already a rip off.
