By horrendous you mean we can actually afford owning a house sometimes, not living in a trailer, and do not risk going bankrupt when a big medical bill comes up

By horrendous you mean we can actually afford owning a house sometimes, not living in a trailer, and do not risk going bankrupt when a big medical bill comes up.
Oh and get most of the typical middle and some upper class luxuries, instead of get a yacht or get nothing.
- dunefox 4y ago> afford owning a house sometimes Good one. Maybe somewhere in rural Saxony, but not close to a larger city where I work.
- 0xy 4y agoThe big medical bill is a lie concocted by those with a political agenda. Nobody ever pays the $100,000+ sticker prices of medical bills. Never. Doesn't happen. Firstly, if you have no insurance (very rare), you can negotiate very steep discounts with hospital and medical providers, as much as 90%+ off. Secondly, tech companies give out either free or highly subsidized health plans, of which none would require you to pay $100,000 out of pocket. Thirdly, out-of-pocket health expenses in the UK for example recently matched expenses in the US, so acting like Europe is a utopian health paradise seems exaggerated at best. Especially with 2 year long waiting lists for essential procedures like hip replacements.
