Vision I've not bothered with adding as the price doesn't seem to make sense when at most I'm getting a vision check and contacts. Dental for me was an addon via the marketplace website after I picked the health insurance plan. This was/is on Oregon.

The sad thing is that I've been an independent contractor on both sides of the ACA and the situation right now is still drastically better than it was pre-marketplace. At least insurance is theoretically affordable for me now instead of costing approximately 25% of my gross income.

basically healthcare in America is "your annual earnings divided by your out of pocket max is the number of additional years you will need to work if you ever have a major medical issue, good luck with all the rest"

She used to get colonoscopies every year that we paid $1200 out of pocket for every time. you figure it out.

My mom recently celebrated finally paying off $40k in medical debt (she's a well-paid school administrator who had decent enough insurance at the time) and basically everyone she told treated it like this amazing accomplishment without anyone batting an eye at the idea of someone just walking around with that much debt because of a medical emergency.

Palladium posted:this is so Americans spend an average of $5,000 a year on out-of-pocket healthcare costs. Almost 60% of US adults have had medical debt at some point in their life. 70% of Americans with medical bills had to cut their food expenses to avoid bankruptcy. Two-thirds of all personal bankruptcies are due to medical bills. 20% of medical bankruptcy filers are in the 55+ age group. Almost half of those who filed for medical bankruptcy cite hospital bills as their most considerable expense. 39% of Americans are more worried about medical bills than Covid-19.

ex post facho posted:all grim but the last one is particularly lol ~60% of all Americans who declare bankruptcy due to medical bills had insurance Speaking from work experience poor people on Medicaid have better healthcare outcomes than middle income people on commercial insurance do. There are no crippling copays when you're on Medicaid so you actually get the treatment and the preventative care you need.

I had a lawyer who bought my crown debt (which I stopped paying because I was unemployed for a year) in Phoenix, this motherfucker drove down to Tucson himself to serve me. When he eventually won the judgement, went directly to my job to give them the garnishment papers (luckily I wasn't there just for how awkward that would be). But the dude actually made a math mistake on the garnishment paperwork (I guess in his defense it was a non-standard garnishment because for some reason even without me saying anything in my defense the judge set a lower % he was allowed to take than usual), so after the garnishment period he set and had approved, I actually still owed $13.57 because he filled the paperwork out wrong (I actually noticed it was wrong when he filed it). Dude actually spent like six months going back and forth with the court apparently (without talking to me, i would've just mailed him a $20 to get off my back) to get an additional garnishment for that $13.57, which he apparently tried and failed to charge interest on. I don't know why dude cared so much. All this for what was probably a profit of maybe $1,500 for almost a year of work, if that. PS both crowns broke before that last $13.57 and I spent a good portion of my stimulus money getting them replaced in Mexico. Rick has issued a correction as of 05:53 on Mar 25, 2022 |

I've got the ultra premium private health insurance as a condition of my visa and it's 120 AU dollarydoos a month, or 90 freedom dollars. In my Canadian province there's no private health care at all. Edit: well you can buy it, but it's for like stuff like eyes and dental which are inexplicably not considered health care.
