    That’s not a good deal. A good deal would be you pay for insurance and have no deductible or fees to worry about. Insurance is insanely expensive and it just acts like a horrible discount program once you finally need it. It’s a scam

      Unfortunately in our current system, that is a good deal and platinum level insurance. Even working for a hospital that’s the best you tend to get.

      Yes, we need single payer, though.
