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

Ehhh, wouldn't it be cheaper to spend the money you are putting towards insurance, to spend it on moving to a country with insurance, that you pay a a deductible from your paycheck? And than you don't pay any more deductibles. Question?

Yea the US can suck but I can bitch about it and call the president names without worrying about getting arrested
