This was my battle last night. Trying to post how much a 3k deductible cost between my employer and I.

  • 10k annual premium for me.
  • 13k for my employers contribution.
  • 3k Deductibles are seperate so 6k for family
  • Max out of pocket 10k.

I have since switched to a “higher” deductible plan with HSA. Still rediculous

Thank you Lemmy developers, server admins, and mods for allowing us to have a have an actual conversation/discussion/debate!

    Exactly. My dad… Everytime healthcare for all comes up, he says! Thats socialism! I wont vote for a socialist. I like my private insurance that on average cost 400-500 per month with a 3k deductible max out of pocket 10k vs 180-275 per month for M4A with no deductible.

    Edit…just realized he will be going on medicare soon if it doesnt get culled by our current administration. Wonder what he thinks about that…and his SS.

      I think people like that don’t actually know what socialism is or why it’s bad. They just know “socialism = bad.”

      My parents are very open minded dems, they both just retired, I hope to God Medicaid doesn’t get shit canned. They both worked way to hard and medicaid is already a rip off.

        dont you mean medicare, caid is when they cant afford medicare at all. medicaid is the benefits, that TRUMPERS are on, because most of them have type 2 diabetes one of the most expensive conditions besides cancers. Medicare usually exclusive to retirees, disabled and under 18yos in some states.

        blue states have better medicaid/care system then red ones too.
