- Retric 11mo agoVery good unsubsidized health insurance wasn’t anywhere close to 2k/month inflation adjusted the last time I used COBRA to continue my employer’s insurance after getting laid off. The underlying issue is inflation adjusted healthcare related spending increased 6x per person since 1970. Some of that is an increase in quality, but middleman are a huge factor.
- antisthenes 11mo ago> Bronze plans with $5-6k deductibles have always ran more than what people paid for rent. Unsubsidized bronze plans were in the $250-350 range in 2016/2017. That's nowhere near rent.
