The Rage posted:That was pre Obamacare, unless you're a Fox News viewer I don't know about everyone else here, but since Obamacare my health insurance has gone above 30% of my gross salary, my coverage has gotten worse, and my copays went from $0/$10 dental to hundreds of dollars. Group Death is the only thing I can afford now. That all said, pre-obama care, a Canadian friend of mine got tricked by a nurse into having a wristband put on him (she snuck up behind him and attached it to him in the waiting room, in front of me and his family) and that cost him almost $3,000 so I don't think that system was very good either. Basically our healthcare was awful and it got worse, not much more to the story.

EugeneJ posted:Individual - the family plans are hosed Well, there you go then! Group death is costing me more than real insurance was a year ago. Obviously the system is working. I love having to haggle with my doctor for prescriptions because they can't profit as much from my insurance anymore!

Moridin920 posted:well no because you end up paying like what, ~$100/mo and then you're still out of pocket the first $500 or so. And it only covers (most of the time) half the cost of major procedures, 75% the cost of fillings and crowns and poo poo, and 100% the cost of check ups (lol the $50 check up). I used to have an actual not lovely dental policy where I would get check ups for a $10 copay, 95-100% on crowns and fillings, surgery etc.

Moridin920 posted:well you said you're paying 30% of your salary so a third of that is still too much imo Oh I agree that it definitely was hosed big time before obamacare. I'm only saying that in my personal world bubble, it's gotten significantly worse since Obamacare and that I'm now seriously considering living without healthcare because I realistically can't afford it anymore and the coverage I'm paying for now isn't very good since I can't afford my copays now.
