    This isn't about me. I'm healthy. Its about a system where a provider has to charge 2,000 more if you have insurance. Which is now an over priced pile of shit thanks to the same idiots who want to give us free healthcare

    I'm so far ahead paying cash it's not even funny. It's an illustration

    I dont need anyone's sympathy. And I'm not signing my life over to the government for free healthcare that isn't free and sucks


    That's how they pay for all the people that don't pay. Like illegals in the ER.
    If that was true they would charge the same for cash. It's for all the extra staff and bullshit involved with insurance

    The government only makes it more costly

    Uninsured folks are covered by the state or charity
    Partially true but insurance doesn't pay anywhere near the stated prices. I'm not sure exactly how inflating numbers benefits the hospital when insurance actually pays so much less.
    Correct. So the question is who wins? It sure as fuck ain't the normal person
    The "normal person" isn't paying $3K a month for his health insurance and sure as hell isn't paying $2800 for a colonoscopy if he has health insurance. The whole premise here makes zero sense.
    Liar

    Everything I wrote was true

    Go ahead and meltdown about it
    I’m sure it’s a set of half truths. It’s almost as if you think no one else here has ever priced health insurance.
    I've priced it. 63 year old married couple premium plus deductible is around $36k/year
    Oh I’m sure you can spend that much. Some of us elderly are more frugal.
    You're stupid as fuck. JFC. You'll pay 36k before receiving any benefit. That's the point dipshit. My god. We have to fucking spoon feed your dumb ass everything.
    No lol?

    Race believes he’s bulletproof apparently and won’t even buy a reasonable amount of coverage, which can be had for a whole lot less.

    More likely your lying

    You obviously think you won’t need any healthcare for the next two years. I don’t foresee any immediate healthcare needs either, but I still bought high deductible coverage, just in case. My coverage went down a couple bucks a month this year. It’s about 670/month now.

    Yet curiously, you started a thread about not being able to get healthcare without spending a mint.

    Via my ex employer a Blue Shield PPO plan is indeed about $2800.00 per month.

    You’re free to buy an expensive plan, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing else available.

    California extra fucks middle class independents like @RaceBannon. It's part of why I shilled for a corporate gig(bc of course employer provided is exempt). Covered California is literally funded by transfers bc socialismo.

    Last I priced it for the wife and I it was close to 24k before kids. I'm sure it hasn't gotten any cheaper.

    That's a lie. If you are a retired cop. As you have stated. Your medical should be covered. At least the few retired cops I know it is. Liar.
