echinopsis posted:are there job-independent plans available ? (Before 2010 the answer might have been "no" if you had a preexisting condition.) It's also just a massive inconvenience to have to switch health insurance plans (and probably companies) whenever you switch jobs, or move between states if you're using individual plans, because you'll quite possibly have to switch doctors as well. You can also keep your company health plan for 18 months after leaving a job in which case you pay the full amount yourself and possibly also a small surcharge, and in this case your premiums are tax deductible for whatever reason. mystes fucked around with this message at 02:32 on Feb 26, 2021 |

Everything about us health insurance is really bad: - The premiums are super expensive - You still pay insane amounts of money even with insurance. - If you don't have insurance you're basically going to bankrupt if you need any medical procedure done. - With insurance you have to be extremely careful about going to the right doctor, and if you gently caress it up (or they gently caress it up) you can be on the hook for basically unlimited money - It's hard to figure out what your insurance will even cover in advance (if you ask, both your insurance provider and doctor will probably give you wrong information) - You have to switch it when you switch jobs or move - They'll use any excuse not to cover stuff (wrong hospital, you were outside the state and didn't get your emergency treatment authorized within 48 hours, etc.) It's really mindblowing as an american that in other countries you can just go to any doctor and not have to worry that you'll go bankrupt because your insurance will refuse to cover it.

it depends on you want but you can buy them through the obamacare market. 200-300 per month: will take your normally immediate bankruptcy causing hospital visit only cost $20,000 to $50,000 if you can pay that immediately. otherwise still bankruptcy. 500-600 per month same, but reduces it to $6000-10,000. might have an optional dental and vision plan for extra. $1000+ per month: real plans start here. plans computer touchers and other “good” white collar jobs get through work are like $18k per year and up. that’s for a healthy dude in 20s or 30s. having a uterus anywhere near the plan causes a 50-70% increase.

i would like to do a couple of years in the US which I could easily do in my current job. My wife used to be keen too but ever since we had kids my wife just doesn’t want to subject us all to the US healthcare system and I can’t say I disagree with her

We don't prep it at home at all. She's mostly on a diet of cruciferous vegetables and greens and she hasn't had any flare-ups since 2018 when she ended up in the hospital with acute kidney failure. She doesn't really have symptoms day-to-day but there's always that fear in the back of your mind.
