My buddy who is an old uneducated white deplorable like me lost his insurance a few years ago. For some reason the $1800 dollar premiums with the 10k deductible wasn’t all that affordable.
All told, he's out of pocket almost $25,000 per year ... and he's complaining about it loudly.
I happen to know he has a chronic medical condition, so I asked him how much his recurring annual medical expenses have been for the last few years.
His answer: "About $55,000."
So there's your problem in a nutshell. A strong conservative and die-hard Trump supporter is actually b!tching that he has to pay $25,000 to get $55,000 worth of medical care.
THIS IS WHY OBAMACARE WILL NEVER BE REPEALED.
P.S. — $1,800 in premiums (I assume that’s a MONTHLY premium) and a $10,000 annual deductible means your friend is paying more than $31,000 every year in medical costs before he gets a single dollar in coverage paid by the insurance company.
