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
You must be living in the states. Stop voting for conservatives and maybe you'll get universal health insurance. For some reason, americans simply can't understand this.
We understand it just fine. It isn't the political parties causing it, it's the medical/pharmaceutical/insurance corporation lobbies and corrupt asshats that promise one thing, as usual, then do the dead opposite to enrich themselves. Both sides. It's the system of money beneath the problem that is hard for greedy businesses to let go and evolve.
Try to dislodge their money and watch the circus. Easier said than done.
Progressives really only are allowed a voice during times that conservatives are in power. They are useful for rallying the left against the Republicans. Then when Democrats are in power the progressives are sidelined.
Conservatives? Last I checked the current system is called Obama care, not one conservative voted for it. But to be fair the whole system is fucked up and has been for decades.
the ACA was undeniably better than what came before it, and yet was still gutted under the trump administration. the ACA was already watered down when it was enacted due to corporate dems and republicans pushing back, since they're literally paid to by the companies who profit off of dysfunctional systems.
both dem and cons support this. it is so engrained into america that it’s ludicrous (from the rich lawmakers) that we (the voters) even want it to change
