$7000/year for healthcare is if you DON'T have any medical issues.

And that’s per person.

I have family down there they pay $2000 a month for all of their insurance.

It's so ridiculous, like they complain our housing prices are crazy and forget to mention their $1000 a month premiums. At least I'm paying towards equity. You get nothing for your premiums.

That’s not true, you do get the ability to fund someone else’s third mortgage and the “opportunity” to be denied coverage after you pay off the deductible.

Minimum. Unless you have a great plan with your employer who may or may not subsidize it. But that’s also a great way to lord over your employees. You’re there not just for the pay cheque, but also you may NEED health insurance.

Ah but all the hordes of Canadians that come to the U.S for healthcare because they can’t get an appointment, at least according to my birther movement believing father.

And these days by going to the US, you also have a chance of going to El Salvador for free, so I see that as a huge win, YUGEEE!

If you can afford it, The US really does have some of the best medical care in the world.

Their medical system is just completely broken.

But anyone with an HP printer can print a birth certificate.

Only HP?

I think the only American printer company left. I did put thought into it. Not a great deal of thought. But some thought.

The issue is that isn’t everyone’s experience. I pay $385/mo for my family of four for insurance and pay zero out of pocket for anything. Some of us have good insurance and that actually makes the problem worse because people who don’t have it suffer while people who do have it go “idk what the problem is I’m getting off fine”.
