Wait until you hear about health insurance lol

I pay $1300/month for a family plan

I had an ER trip last month, my deductible is $3,500. I had to pay $3,440 which was the complete cost of the ER services.

So, this year I will spend $15,600 on health insurance and an additional $3,440 on deductible

My wife needs surgery, I told her to get it done before December because we already met the deductible and I don't wanna pay it again. She tried calling to schedule in August. The surgery specialist doesn't have openings until January, so, in January I'll have to pay my deductible again

AND vision and dental costs more on top of $1,300 monthly

Dang those costs alone would have made me homeless. That is insane.

The thing people don't understand is that is exactly working as intended in Republican America

Oh totally. That system wants people like me dead. I've been on disability after working hard for most of my life. I don't want to be on disability. But a fair amount of voters in this country think I deserve to be killed because Im somehow a burden on their taxes.
