“Now I am paying about $1000 a month. I have something like $1300 individual deductibles. “

Unless you’re sick all the time, you’re better off without insurance.

Well my wife and I are extremely healthy. Rate got up to $1300 a month with $6,000 deductibles each. We no longer have health insurance (we have an alternative).

I cannot freaking believe this. Even a large plurality of the left wants obungholecare repealed.

I’m beginning to think Trump has too many squishy advisors around him.

Kick the world’s ass Mr. President. Do not compromise on anything. You can win most of these battles. Especially this one.

Only if you have nothing to lose, right? We are all pretty healthy but you never know.Last year my husband fell and dislocated his elbow in two places. Originally they thought it would need surgery. It was just a freak weird fall.

First hospital stay without insurance and you are wiped out.

The 24k a year you save paying the premium is eaten in two days, easy.

About 4 years ago, my husband had a gall bladder attack. They kept him the hospital for 4 days delaying the surgery. The whole time the nurse had her little iPad itemizing and racking up the charges.

Our insurance, even then, was much better so we met the deductible and it was done. But we kept seeing the bills--well over 100k.

12k a year. Not sure where I got 24k. It’s not that early. (:
