Premium + deductible + prescriptions + out of network care
I believe 30k is possible for a healthy single American.
- elif 2y agoI didn't think so back when I was in a startup insurance program where it literally covered stuff. But i've been on a "normal" health plan through my wife's job for the last 5 years. The American health system is experienced totally differently by different classes of people.
- antisthenes 2y agoJust because it's possible, doesn't mean it's typical, or even common.
- elif 2y agoI mean my wife and I pay $700/mo premium, we both hit our $2500 deductible this year already, my physical therapy is out of network and costs me $800/mo That's $23k already before prescriptions and we are in our 30s with no major health issues.
- mrguyorama 2y ago> my physical therapy is out of network and costs me $800/mo That part doubles what you are paying yearly and is EXTREMELY uncommon. For most Americans, an appointment that costs $800/mo is one you don't schedule because you quite literally cannot afford that and will go through bankruptcy attempting to.
- antisthenes 2y agoYou literally proved my point. You spend $11500 per person, while the original statement alluded to $30k for a single adult. Do you honestly not see the difference or are you that well off that $18500 is not a significant amount of money to you?
- elif 2y agoI said I believe 30k is possible You are free to argue against whatever strawman you desire... Chasing your own shadow though
