I don't know about that. I am just tired of dipshit insurance companies like United Health Care extracting every last cent as an insurance premium while covering nearly nothing outside of an annual physical. 

Seems like we would save a lot more money if we got rid of the insurance industrial complex and on health costs by removing layers of administrators.

I'm totally with you on that shit. 

Our family (meaning me as the primary breadwinner) paid close to $5k for healthcare premiums and then close to $10k in out of pocket costs in 2023. Even with insurance, you can count on at least $1-2k per ER visit and with kids its likely that you'll have at least 1-2 of those visits a year.

I'm all for capitalism, but it's annoying that the buck stops when it comes to healthcare and we all just walk around getting raped by the industry/lobbyists. At this point, I could easily shell out $700 a month in a single payer premium and still come out ahead by at least double.
