This was my battle last night. Trying to post how much a 3k deductible cost between my employer and I.

  • 10k annual premium for me.
  • 13k for my employers contribution.
  • 3k Deductibles are seperate so 6k for family
  • Max out of pocket 10k.

I have since switched to a “higher” deductible plan with HSA. Still rediculous

Thank you Lemmy developers, server admins, and mods for allowing us to have a have an actual conversation/discussion/debate!

    This makes me wonder. A couple of years ago the mods of antiwork made people fighting for workers rights look like a bunch of idiotic losers publicly (aka themselves). Seeing how they suck the corporate dick so hard, maybe that was intentional.

      its because one of the mods, the “transgender mod” outed her self on Jesse watters fox interview, Jesse watters segment is known to invite people like her on board a “looney total loser” to make fun of the democrats. everyone just took that sub as a joke now. workreform is the secondary sub of that, but are not as “foolish”

      About half the discussions after that fox news interview happened were literally talking about this.

      ETA: in fact it’s the reason that subreddit split in the first place.

          billionaires cant afford a class war they have been waging behind the shield of right wing activism, they were freaking out when even right grifters couldnt reign in thier supporters. they had to wait a month before putins trolls reorientated themselves to attack luigi/shooting ceo as a LEFTIST movement, and that includes drowning out the news with TRUMPS “did stupid stuff” news.

          it also was the same time ELON brought his child as a human shield everywhere he goes.

    “private insurance creates competition”

    “I don’t want to pay for someone ELSE’S wellbeing”

    I can’t stand dumb people who can’t do basic math in their head and come to a conclusion outside of “daddy told me this”

      Exactly. My dad… Everytime healthcare for all comes up, he says! Thats socialism! I wont vote for a socialist. I like my private insurance that on average cost 400-500 per month with a 3k deductible max out of pocket 10k vs 180-275 per month for M4A with no deductible.

      Edit…just realized he will be going on medicare soon if it doesnt get culled by our current administration. Wonder what he thinks about that…and his SS.

        I think people like that don’t actually know what socialism is or why it’s bad. They just know “socialism = bad.”

        My parents are very open minded dems, they both just retired, I hope to God Medicaid doesn’t get shit canned. They both worked way to hard and medicaid is already a rip off.

          dont you mean medicare, caid is when they cant afford medicare at all. medicaid is the benefits, that TRUMPERS are on, because most of them have type 2 diabetes one of the most expensive conditions besides cancers. Medicare usually exclusive to retirees, disabled and under 18yos in some states.

          blue states have better medicaid/care system then red ones too.
