My annual max out of pocket cost for healthcare is $5,000. Once I pay the $5k, everything else for free for the rest of the year. How is that worth a $100-200K

- emteycz 5y agoIt's not worth it. They also forget to mention that in most EU countries you pay ~30% of your income before taxes for healthcare (in addition to taxes). By my calculations, average software engineer pays 10x more for healthcare in EU than in the USA - in absolute numbers.
- anotherman554 5y agoThat's not exactly how health insurance works. The insurer can always say something the doctor did is not covered, or something the doctor says you need is not covered. Or that, while a procedure is covered under the policy, you aren't sick enough for the insurer to consider it medically necessary, even if the doctor thinks it is.
