yeah, shocking. if you have diabetes or a thyroid issue or hiv or really any chronic disease that requires medication you are out 12k a year easy, 6 for your insurance premiums and 6 for the deductible and copays. if you are broke there are some provisions, but if you are above the poverty line you gotta pay.
- vinni2 7y agoIs this true for health insurances paid by the employers too? I am just curious since people say if you have a tech job you have nothing to worry about healthcare in the US.
- gnopgnip 7y agoIn many cases the premium is paid for by your employer entirely, and the max out of pocket is lower, like $4k a year. But it depends on the employer and what plans afte offered. Also about 20% of Americans are on medicaid, and generally do not pay any premiums, deductibles, or copays
- galangalalgol 7y agoI have 20 years in c++ dev experience at an f500, in silicon valley I probably would get double the pay and full health benefits, but I probably would be too old to work there. so it depends on what you mean by tech.
