Yes, the US system works great if your are at the social peak, such as working at a FAANG. Thanks for reminding us of the level of class disparity as we struggle to pay our bills or get our children medical care.
When I was a kid, everyone no matter economic level had pretty much the same pediatric doctor group. Now the working class people around me don't really have a pediatrician, but an overworked 'nurse practitioner'.
- azinman2 1y agoFrom the GP: > I have never heard of an insurance policy in the US that allows you to consume as much, and whatever type of healthcare that you want. Quite the opposite is most people's experience. You have to justify any visit to a specialist before going, you don't get to choose the specialist, many times the insurer will simply deny a payment request for care already received. On many plans, you have to spend 5 figures per year before they will even cover anything. These do not apply to me. I cannot be the only one. In fact when I was a 2 person startup things weren’t so terribly different from my current situation as well. No need to accuse me of classism when I’m simply refuting the premise with my own data and lived experience.
