Almost everyone I know has a nightmare healthcare story. We have the worst healthcare of a first world country. Many folks who have employer provided healthcare from top tier tech companies are kinda happy but anyone who is below the 50th percentile is living on the edge and playing a gamble. I’m a solopreneur and we’ve decided to go without health insurance. The ridiculous premiums + super high deductibles mean even if you were to go to the doctor, you’re still paying full cost. The gamble is you want to avoid any catastrophic visits which would cost 20k+ to offset the insurance deductible + premiums. Compared to Australia, US healthcare system would be considered a joke.
