Yeah but with all that cycling they won't need to visit the doctor anytime soon so they save a lot of money not paying for health insurance. /s

  I know that this was a joke, but physically healthy people should definitely still be visiting their doctor on a somewhat regular basis too.

    Visiting a doctor in US costs a fortune. Even with insurance a doctors visit costs me 200-500 out of pocket. That’s nuts. I’ll pass unless I really need to see the doctor.

      I think you misunderstood my statement. I completely understand that doctors in the US was way to expensive to see for acute issues. However my understanding is that with any ACA-compatible plan, "basic preventative care" (ie, yearly physical/check-up) is no cost out-of-pocket. "They are young and healthy and shouldn't need it" is not a valid excuse to not provide health insurance to those who work for you (in the US).

  Do you know any cyclists? All the ones I know have had accidents ranging from bone-breaking to fatal.

    I was a cyclist for another tech company that used cyclists to deliver in NYC, AMA. Delivery people are truly neglected at these companies. A quarter of my wage went to recovering the calories I spent on my shift. I'm lucky that I didn't need that job, I only took it to experience being a bike messenger.

    “/s” means your parent was being sarcastic.
