I'm really starting to consider just not enrolling in healthcare and saving like $10k/yr when I never pay enough to "meet my deductable" anyway. What the fuck is insurance for if they don't pay? Doctors charge people with no insurance less anyway. Fuck 'em. May try something like crowdhealth.com
I blew our deductible the F up this year. 3 nights in ICU was $70k just for the bed. Not the doctors, the medicine, or the surgery. Just the stay in ICU
 
Damn stories like that are why I still have it, but this new BS about "meeting your deductable" is pure bullshit. I got spoiled with good insurance in the late 90s, 00s, etc with only having a copay and now that shit is extinct.
It’s all good on my end cause I quit smoking after the heart attack so I’m saving like $8 a day right there. Lol

I had a 45-minute vein procedure done on one leg last month.
Oral sedation & outpatient.
Total bill was $25k.
I was fortunate insurance covered very well.
I had a retina detach in July 2024.
General anesthesia & outpatient.
Repair surgery was $33k.
Insurance covered well there, as well.
Neither was foreseen, and I am otherwise healthy for my age.
I am well ahead this decade versus premiums paid.

Witnesses say Maddow, visibly seething and red-faced, cornered Brzezinski in a hallway and unleashed a tirade, branding her a “sanctimonious fraud” and an “authoritarian enabler” over her meeting with President Trump at Mar-a-Lago. The two women had not spoken for over a week. According to a witness, the altercation left Brzezinski visibly shaken and in tears. A producer stepped in to separate the pair, physically guiding Maddow away from the scene.

The “affordable care act” fucked one and all.

Edit to add- except those that put it into law but didn’t have to live with it themselves.
