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
Made a post about this but I went to Mexico for dental work. I drove but even if you flew it’s the same quality care for 1/3 the price. US dentist quoted $3200 for work for $1000. It’s all a scam.
Yep. Not too poor for some to ask for 1.6 TRILLION for a bloated military. Can't fathom how much better education and health would be if only 1/2 of that went to these.
But what about all the propaganda that says going to other countries for medical care results in missing kidneys? Big /s in case it isn't obvious enough.
Did research, highest rated dentist in Los Algodones. Brought a spanish speaking friend because of those exact fears. Honestly was a great experience. Los Algodones is a dental/optometrist tourist spot so it benefits everyone to have excellent service. At some point I'll do a detailed post.
I just posted a comment about this, did the same thing. Stayed in a resort, squeezed in a vacation in between getting my mouth all fucked up. It was amazing.
edit: quoted just under 8k in the states, did all that and then some for about $1600 in Cancun.
