Shit I’ve worked my way from homeless to well into 6 figures and have “amazing” healthcare. I still want universal healthcare because I’m not a fucking idiot. I want to have the option of leaving my employer and starting my own company without the massive cost of healthcare hanging over my head. I can’t understand anyone who thinks otherwise. Literally everyone would save money.
I’m still salty from working at a mediocre company and getting a $7k bill from a doctor for putting a scope into my nose for literally 15 seconds. And more recently, I went to a chiropractor (controversial I know but it helps me a lot) and got a $300 bill after being promised that it would only be $20.
I’m supposed to have great insurance too. I scratched my eye in my sleep bad enough I needed help. Went to the ER, they said come back in two hours or it would be really expensive. So I go back two hours later when the “urgent care” is open. I had to pay $500.00 for them to look in my eye and say yup its scratched, here’s a script for some drops. My insurance covered $40.00.
