a ruined credit score

... Which you're going to get either way, if/when you get anything serious that takes you past your allotment.

Option 1: Pay $506/mo, have to visit the E.R. for anything preexisting, file for bankruptcy if anything new arises, get ruined credit unless fortune smiles on you.
Option 2: Don't pay $506/mo, have to visit the E.R. for anything preexisting, file for bankruptcy if anything new arises, get ruined credit unless fortune smiles on you.

The above is the reality as I understand it. Is there something I'm missing that paying $506/mo unlocks? Perhaps a secret character?

No but for real I'm not fakeposting pretending to be denser than I am. What do you actually get for that monthly payment that you wouldn't get if you didn't pay it? It sounds like you have to go to the E.R. anyway for stuff you already know you have, and also for new things that spring up because you'll almost certainly go past your allotment of care and no longer be able to go in with the private insurance route after a single visit. Does the average American seriously just piss away money on the transparently false promise of maybe you'll get some care? Is it an internalized morality thing or something?

Down with this sort of thing.

PPACA grants up to $780 a month for low income folks to put towards insurance, that can lower the cost of a silver plan to $25 a month, or silver w/dependent child to ~$200.

The biggest thing is prescription drugs really. If you're a healthy millennial who doesn't need drugs (ADs, etc) then hey roll the dice, but if you need a prescription with any regularity, insurance is good to have period. Catastrophic medical debt will still happen either way if you have a serious medical event, but insurance will help + actually get you treatment for things like uhhhhhhh cancer and whatnot. Finally, lets say you do break your leg and go to the ER and get a $15000 bill with no insurance or w/e, a lot of states have wage garnishing laws that allow debtors to take money from your check to repay debts on a weekly basis. They don't bill you, they gank it.

In fact, i bet you know that most people in this thread don't know what Corinthians 2 is, but you posted that assuming people would google it and be like, oh how clever, well cited bible verse, Apraxin. Making us do the work for your lovely bon mot.

Well gently caress you, Apraxin.

He said it wrong anyway. It's pronounced "two Corinthians", and it is Trump's favourite bible verse.

almost makes me want to try software grifting by writing a browser extension that adds the full text of a Bible verse or range of Bible verses, and adds a link instead if it's longer than 240 characters, and charge $10-$1000 per download depending on the IP address. Charge $10, but if it's a Lifeway IP address, market it as corporate industrial software so middle-management can justify it sort of thing
