[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]I'm lucky that I live in a state that expanded its Medicaid, because that's probably still the only way I can afford to have insurance.[/quote]

[quote=Vynertje]In The Netherlands that amount is like a mandatory 350€ year and we pay like 100-110€ monthly O.o[/quote]

[quote=GrandmasterD][quote=Vynertje]In The Netherlands that amount is like a mandatory 350€ year and we pay like 100-110€ monthly O.o[/quote] Not to mention that the government actually helps out with a substantial amount a month (I'd have to check for exact numbers and I really do not feel like it). P.S. Again with the currency symbol... [img=https://i.imgur.com/8H98d3y.gif][/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]yea, this is basically "here pay $100+/month so that once you've burned half your total yearly income we'll go ahead and cover 100% of your remaining medical costs", which I cannot afford at all. I also can barely afford to [url=http://i.imgur.com/B1HlugN.png?1]pay nearly $300 a month[/url], so I'm pretty much fucked either way.[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]Yes, I would. Which, in case you were wondering, the last time I went to the emergency room (which was two years ago) it cost over $1000, which my parents ended up paying for. There's also multiple options that where I'd have to pay for 40% of all of my healthcare even after meeting a deductible of over $5000 all while paying about $200/month.[/quote]

[quote=mastrer1000]is there an option with a reasonable(~500 at most) deductable and without having to pay a percentage yourself?[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]I was offered 26 options and most of then have a deductible of $5000 or more, sucks to be me.[/quote]

[/quote] 72€ for me ;-) [quote=The_Nameless_Bard]I was offered 26 options and most of then have a deductible of $5000 or more, sucks to be me.[/quote] Its so weird though because with such prices/fees it seems completely ineffective to have public health care. I mean I could understand that health care fees in the US are higher in general (i.e. because of higher obesity rates, but perhaps also higher rates of violence) but that seems completely out of proportion.[/quote]
