Jesus fucking christ, what the fuck ?! How much does health insurance cost in the US ?
- bluesquared 4y agoI pay ~$500/month for "pretty good" health insurance, and my employer pays roughly the same (a "benefit" that the employer pays 'half'! /s ) And then you have to pay small fees when you go visit a doctor ($25-ish each time), pay for medications (expensive). Emergency room swipes your credit card before a doctor even sees you ($150 co-pay for my plan). Pay thousands for an MRI (that the insurance company has graciously negotiated down 95%!)
- BenjiWiebe 4y ago"thousands for an MRI" MDSave. I got a brain MRI for ~$450.
- NelsonMinar 4y agoPrices vary widely and many Americans have no idea because their employer pays it. You can shop California's market yourself; try 94114 for San Francisco. https://www.coveredca.com/ https://www.coveredca.com/ For a 30 year old it's $400 to $1100 a month depending on coverage level. A mediocre "Silver" plan is $400 at age 20 to $1060 at age 65, at which point you qualify for nationalized healthcare.
- missedthecue 4y agoIs this really the first time on the internet that you've encountered a discussion about US healthcare costs?
- sp332 4y agoI am American, and that sounds really high.
- Fiahil 4y agoHealthcare cost, no, but monthly insurance cost, yes. $800 per months plus out of pocket sums for each appointment is batshit insane. Plus, loosing it when you loose your job is even more difficult. I think I finally understand why every Michael Bay movie is starting with a surprise medical bill. I always thought it was somewhat silly. To give you a example, I pay 75€ per months for the entire family, and we don't have to pay anything when going to the doctor.
