It's called a "high deductible plan" because you have to be high to think it's fair
Really cool and good that healthcare is a “rich people thing” and only billionaires can expect medical treatment for anything.
And in some states, it’s illegal to not buy this useless product. Never saw a libertarian complain poor people are threatened to give the richest people on earth money for no reason like the disgusting charity cases they are.

THANKS OBAMA!
Getting hit with extra taxes because you didn't have health insurance for a whole year is just too on the nose
I mean, libertarians definitely did complain about obamacare
Legit went to a specialist. Paid the amount and the receptionist said sheesh you wonder why have the insurance at all huh. Or something like that.
that's why I haven't gone to the doctor after getting health insurance two years ago despite paying for it and having many, many urgent issues that need a doctor's opinion
I'm the same way sadly, I know I should be going but I hate seeing the bills
me, a tumescent pile of unresolved disease: "yeah fellow American i get you 100%"
