>>Americans pay $2000 every time they call the ambulance

1. With an insurance it is for free, right?
2. Some jobs, for example IT jobs or scientist positions often have an insurance like a bonus from their company, so it is kind of a free-tier, right?
3. Even poor people have a free insurance from a government ("obama care" and other stuff from charity organizations), right?
4. Are insurance prices high? Some big health problems, like cancer, will not be covered fully by your insurance, but any other health problems can be covered mostly. Is it all right?

Please tell how much money do you spend for the insurance and what problems did you ever have. Have you ever paid a lot for a medicine? Are high medicine prices is a myth mostly for you or is it a big real problem?

1. Depends on copay/deductible, you have to pay for at least a part of some things even though you have insurance
2. Yes but as above you usually have to pay something about and beyond what you pay for insurance (there's a limit though, usually $2-10k per year)
3. Yes but you have to pay a little bit, like $50 a month (unless you are truly disabled i.e. on dialysis, over 65 or a child)
4. Yes

At my last job they deducted like $100 from my paycheck every month and they supposedly chipped in $400 so I guess the total cost for insurance would be ~$500. My deductible was like $5k I think.

My employer pays 80% of my health insurance. Haven't calculated how much I pay from my paycheck. Meds are only like $25 a month.

Healthcare is fucking retarded in this country and I'm far-right politically speaking

>1. With an insurance it is for free, right?
With a deductible of like $500 dollars, my father had a massive stroke and spent 2 days in the hospital with surgery and it only “costed” him less than 1000 dollars
>2.
Yes. Any decent job will come with healthcare plans
>3. Even poor people have a free insurance from a government ("obama care" and other stuff from charity organizations), right?
Obama care is not free. You are forced by the big dick of the law to buy the insurance, for some people it’s better than what they had before but for others it was worse than their former insurance.
>4. Are insurance prices high? Some big health problems, like cancer, will not be covered fully by your insurance, but any other health problems can be covered mostly. Is it all right?
Yeah it’s pretty high since in America the price for healthcare is inflated because of the existance of insurance. It’s just a big pryramid scheme and all the Jews behind it need to be shot.

>Are high medicine prices is a myth mostly for you or is it a big real problem?
Not a problem for me but some people who have diabetes or some shit literally die since they cannot afford the insulin or other drug. There is a huge problem right now in America that people live paycheck to paycheck and cannot afford a $500 dollar emergency expense

Tell more TRUE stories about it all please. Your reallife situations or something. How much did you spend in your case of a health problem?

I broke my arm a few years back, was handed a bill for $7,200 in total, half of that being from xrays and then the rest from the casting and pain killers. My insurance covered $7,150 and I had to pay a $450 deductible to the insurance company. Then I ended up paying about $30 in pain medication with my insurance paying 90% and I paid 10% and that was about 50 pills or so. It was way less than I was expecting tb h

Are you addicted to heroine now?

kek no

>a bill for $7,200 in total
>insurance covered $7,150
>I had to pay a $450 deductible

How it all works? 7200 - 7150 is 50, why did you pay 450? What is deductable? A monthly payment for the insurance?
