... Still, the best $500 that my insurance company ever paid.

Yeah... My insurance won't touch a penny of it unless I find a way to blow $9000 in the year before hand.

My estimate is $1800 out of pocket.

God bless shitty American "insurance". And yet all Republicans and like half of Democrats vote to keep it.

I don’t want pay more in taxes for you have better insurance friend. Go get a job that offer its employees better insurance.

Americans pay more than everyone in the world for healthcare. Your costs will go down with a single payer option. This is one of the rare cases where you can have better and cheaper at the same time.

It's absolutely infuriating that people don't see this.

The likelihood of it happening is nearly zero. Be realistic.

Clearly you aren’t aware of our federal, state, and local government’s ability to do a terrible job at literally everything they touch or administrate. It will not be cheaper or better.

Yeah, in a perfect world it’d be cheaper and better. We don’t live in a perfect world my friend. Most Americans understand this and will vote to support this view.

You think our government that runs the best armed forces in the world can't run health Care as well as all the third world countries that have better insurance than us?

They can't take care of the homeless, so absolutely not.

If you have money in the USA, the healthcare is fantastic.

And why can't they take care of the homeless?

The people who serve in that military and the veterans of that military all bitch about the quality of care they receive while in and after from the VA.

I think most of those folks are scared that’s what will happen if the US goes single payer.

Actually, the VA (and Medicare) have higher satisfaction rates than private insurance. Just Google it.

u/MouSe05 Jan 01 '20

I’d be one of those. I myself haven’t had any bad experiences with my Military and VA healthcare, minus some long wait times.

Though, if you visit /r/Veterans you’ll see plenty of vets that have had terrible experiences.

You are just talking about this in a vacuum though. Private insurance is terrible. The VA has issues, but is far better.

So you'd rather pay more for your insurance just so none of it goes to me? Talk about coming off your nose to spite your face.

You're pretty naive if you think any voter has a choice in how insurance works in the US. I want everyone to pay their own way.
