The problem is greatly unequal access to healthcare. I’m glad your insurance is doing well for you, but there are many out there who are struggling to pay for expensive family insurance with high deductibles that still leave them in medical debt.
I’m also currently in a situation where I’d like to find a new job, but I have some expensive medication ($750 a month for one of them) and I am worried about losing my insurance/not being able to afford the premium while I wait for benefits to kick in at a new job. I also have absolutely no way of knowing if another employer’s plan will cover my medication or if my current group of providers will be in network. All this added stress, and yet I’m lucky to work in a field where almost every employer offers health insurance.
Ideally, there would be universal safety nets to provide the services you’re benefiting from to all Americans. It’s not even like we’re saving money by relying on private insurance, as the US spends way more per capita on Healthcare for average results, at best.
So I’m glad that your insurance is taking care of you, truly I am. But spare a thought for the thousands of Americans out there who are struggling to survive under the same system.
I think the issue is that you look like you are talking about health insurance in the US. There is basically a zero percent change the person you are responding to is talking about insurance from any plan in the US.
Yeah, I should have realised that everyone is talking about the US. Everything about their medical system sucks. It’s powered by greed and not much else. I bet most third world countries have better health care than them.
