    Obviously it’s a joke, but get insurance. Thanks to the affordable care act they have a maximum out of pocket cost (for what is covered) and will save you from ruin.

      for what is covered

      This is doing some really heavy lifting.

      No, do not get insurance. It is a waste of time and money.

        I’m paying a $2000 bill right now. Without insurance, it would be more like $50,000. And a surgery I had last year, they delayed because the insurance company didn’t want to cover it at first and we would have to give them $1500 up front. Thankfully, that got taken care of. Still had to pay that $1500 though. I just could pay it in installments.

      $400/mo for me. No thank you. Unless I want insurance that sucks absolute balls.

        It is often called catastrophic insurance, it doesn’t cover much day to day costs, but when you get a $50,000 bill it would cover $42,000.

          I know you’re being helpful so I don’t want to shit on you but that is still unaffordable as fuck for so many people. The ACA is a bandaid applied to a gaping wound.

            Yes of course. It all sucks but I’ve seen many lives ruined by avoidable debt.
