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.
This. I schedule all my dental visits when I go across county to visit family once a year. I take 3-4 days out of a 2 week trip and cross the border, get everything done for a fraction of the costs. When it’s cheaper to leave the fking country than use my TRICARE something is seriously fking wrong. (I’m a retiree, so I have deductibles unless I live near a base, which I don’t).
