Oh, it gets better than that.
The health insurance premiums have become do high, the list of things the expensive health care cover covers so restricted and rationed and the cost of deductibles have become so high, Americans are having to cross the border to Mexico to buy low cost drugs and low cost medical care because they can’t afford the high deductibles and out of network costs for their already unaffordable health insurance.
The primary reason for the staggering cost of health care and health insurance is to subsidize the costs of the huge numbers of people who use the system but do not pay to support it. One of the biggest class of offenders of freeloaders who drive the costs up for responsible, paying Americans are illegal aliens who get free health care
Do insured Americans have to go to get cheap medical care that they pay for out of pocket because. were denied coverage for or cannot afford to pay the $5,000 deductible on their insurance - all to pay for gold plated, unlimited free health care for illegal aliens coming into the US from Mexico
I gave up having health insurance.
And even with a couple of serious illnesses and a broken arm and dental procedures I still figure I’ve saved $10,000 per year
This year I was sick for 4 weeks- I paid $200 for a doctor visit and $90 for antibiotics. That has been my total expenditures for medical this year.
Before Obamacare my health insurance was $3500 a year. After it was $12,000 with a $6,000 deductible. So I would have to pay $18,000 out of my own pocket before they ever covered one cent.
I’m getting older and expect to have more, but I eat healthy and exercise and try to be careful, in order to minimize medical costs.
When the time comes, I’d rather die at home than in a hospital owing $100’s of thousands.
