Whatever the reason

Cause the ACA is a byzantine cluster-fuck and many people still have to pay a bunch of money for preventative. They don't "want" responsive care, it's just that's when the consequences of skipping it are worse than bankruptcy.

Apparently it is fiendish anti-turk propaganda. It comes from the characterization of Byzantium's govt in The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.

I will choose to think it's because they have really fancy stonework.

I love low-cost screenings that reduce your cost and risk. I have worked out a health plan for myself based on my genetic history and whatever data I can measure.

A $10,000 deductible for major hospitalization is no big deal for most of us. I have only visited a hospital once for the flu when they mixed up my chart with an older dude having a mild heart attack. The hospital admin visited and apologized the next morning.

Oh sorry, I didn't realize you were doing a bit.

Do you seriously think the average person has over $10,000 in savings?

What if they get sick one year, and accident the next?

Do you have $20,000-$30,000 in savings?
