But the corporate sponsored insurance plans still need to be payed for somehow, usually as a deduction in what the company would pay since they can advertise better benefits. My friend’s family has sickle cell, but I guess this won’t help them since he’s a car salesman.

They pay for it by not having to cover the expense of treating the disease anymore. It’s an incredibly expensive disease to manage as a chronic condition.

payed

I think the word you’re looking for is “paid”. “Payed” is something to do with sailors and ropes or something.
