Thread ITT: Domon Mines your PII - How much do you pay for healthcare?

[eileenbunny]

Of course. But those people don't have healthcare now. The people that DO have it for work would see a pay increase since it would be decoupled with employment.

But it wouldn't be pre-tax.

I pay $104/month with $1000 deductible and 80/20 after deductible for a crappy HMO. It's mostly just for emergency since yearly physical is 100% covered. I wonder if the premium prices will improve or get worse this November.

 

[Valve1138]

Yeah that's not what I meant. More like EVERYONE should have access to decent care regardless of their ability to pay. Costs will not be reduced because people would become "good healthcare consumers".

Randian fantasy world.

Yep. As long as health insurers are for profit businesses they'll continue to fuck everyone. They won't magically lower premiums.

Says who? If we're redoing this whole thing...

So I applied for healthcare coverage thru UHC for an individual plan and was declined due to "seizure within past year"

Insurance is so frustrating.

This may force us to get married so I can get on Flys plan if something were to happen and I need medical insurance before then.

thats a really bad reason to get married.

Also, you're about to be replaced just for that post. Just so you know. Im quoting it so you cant take it back. Prepare for a life of destitution. Or prostitution.

HIPAA (dumbass) has absolutely zero to do with anything she said.

Doesn't matter. With my self insurance, helenabear wouldn't be covered if she got pregnant because she had an issue last time.

 

[Mr. Argumentor]

They've been together for 8 years, IIRC they object to marriage for roughly the same reason that Ape objects to kids (meaning they don't see the point.) Why exactly is that a bad reason for them to get married?

Because you should get married because you want to, not to get on someone's insurance.

Nor would they pay for any forms of birth control. Health insurance companies suck. They also labeled a certain relatively fit guy as "obese" due to weight alone. Again they suck.

How is marriage going to benefit their relationship?

It isn't. Which is why they aren't getting married currently.
