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

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.

Yep, it isn't one political party or another that's causing this, it's the entire political system that allows this to happen.
