Just 1k/month? Some of us have to pay more than that 😞
More like $1.5k/month.
$1K a month is a good deal

Wait until you get old. Just me > 50 is $1300/mo with 20% “co-insurance” in addition to deductables
bdonvr@thelemmy.club 4 months ago
Surely, unless you have medical issues it cannot be worth $1300/mo + deductible. You could save that yourself and probably get through most emergencies.
(This is statistically speaking, of course in an unlikely serious emergency you might sack up some insane costs.)

“covers” with 50 asterisks after it

Dang that’s a good deal (I’m joking).
I would have to pay ~$1800/mo for just my wife and I for mediocre coverage.

Deny delay defend is what insurance companies say, deny delay depose is what the killer wrote on the bullets. Depose doesn’t make sense if you’re the insurance, you defend as in lawyers.
XCraftMC@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
it was Deny, Defend, Depose.
Depose and Delay are interchangeable in this phrase; I’ve seen it written both ways
deranger@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
Yeah, that’s right. Edited.
Deny, Delay, Defend is the title of a book about insurance written in 2010.
Deny, Defend, Depose is what the shooter had written on the shell casings.

Thanks. Next time I’ll get it right.

It’s only the shitpost community, I always feel like a nerd correcting stuff if it’s here but I can’t help myself.

Looks like they’ve been exploring alternative methods of payment in heavy metals, including lead.

How do I made my deposit??
kn33@lemmy.world 4 months ago
The most effective method is likely to be just depositing your lead directly into your nearest health insurance CEO

and that $1k a month increases with inflation, and then some, and then with executives’ desires for bigger mansions, luxury cars, yachts and exotic vacations, too. what a deal!

Did you see my recent post?
robocall@lemmy.world 4 months ago
No. I suspect many people are feeling and thinking similar things recently.

Wait American health insurance costs THAT MUCH? And then you have to pay MORE to use it? I’d been imagining a few hundred dollars p.m. and still thinking “that’s too much”. How is there anyone in your country who believes that public health could cost more than that?
You guys need serious help, I’m so sorry.
I have a medical treatment coming up that I’d thought was rather expensive, but after learning that it costs the same as 2 months of terrible medical cover in the USA I feel a bit better about it…

That’s after employer contributions too. But if we had universal Healthcare we could quit our jobs when we’re abused
Apytele@sh.itjust.works 4 months ago
Another talking point that doesn’t get discussed enough. I didn’t realize my next job didn’t cover until the next calendar month after the start date and that three week gap was long enough that I’m out of therapy and need to try to reinitiate.

Pretty mental isn’t it!
I’m in Australia. We might be a bit nuts over here but at least we have Medicare. Private health insurance is optional and becoming increasingly expensive, but the public system, although stressed, covers everyone.
Darohan@lemmy.zip 4 months ago
I was thinking about this too - the American monthly health insurance cost is significantly more than my entire monthly tax contribution, including the public healthcare contributions - and I’m not even “low income” by any definition.
Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 4 months ago
Somehow people think their taxes will go up over $1000k a month if it changes to universal.
I live in Canada and I pay less taxes total than what most Americans pay for healthcare alone, yet somehow they think we pay more than them lol.
pearsaltchocolatebar@discuss.online 4 months ago
It’s not just that. They don’t want their taxes to go to paying for other people’s healthcare, even though that’s exactly how private insurance works
robocall@lemmy.world 4 months ago
There are many people that pay more than US$1K a month for their insurance. If they don’t get it through their employer - it costs more.

Geographic American here.
I just left a job with a health plan for my wife and I, to continue coverage would cost me ~$1810/mo OOP. And, yes, I would then still need to pay more to hit my OOP Maximum.
