Where are you getting $30 a month? When i looked at it, the cheapest is like $300 with a $10k deductible
Washington State. My deductible is $600. It's income based, so my low rate requires me to make very little. That is fine with me, since I have no desire to work more than 32 hours a week and I've learned how to live cheaply.
The insurance my job offered me is $100 a month with a $4,500 deductible, which is absolutely awful in comparison.
$300 before or after the subsidy?
lol do you guys seriously still have deductibles with the affordable care act? God I feel for you guys sometimes.
What I especially love is that providers charge a much higher price if you use insurance. A $100 procedure becomes a $1000 procedure if you try to use insurance to pay for it. Then your insurance says "sorry, you haven't reached your deductible", and the provider bills you the full amount.
That sounds like a fucking nightmare.
You can wake up from a nightmare.
