I don’t think I ever had insurance in the US where checking into the hospital for any amount of time would cost less than $800 out of pocket.

Unless I had already reached my annual deductible, that is.

“Hey good news! After about 35% of your annual income is spent on medical bills on top of your triple digit monthly premiums… That health insurance starts to kick in!”

(Until it resets at the end of the year. Teehee!)

    It truly is amazing how an entire industry makes billions by literally avoiding delivering the most basic service it’s paid for at every possible turn.

    This is not even good capitalism. Capitalism was intended to provide efficient solutions through competition. This is an oligopol secured by generous bribes

It’s no longer about saving money at that point.
