@kdfrawg Brother, ain't that the truth.
@kdfrawg I am indeed among the fortunate in America, but a 400% increase is a 400% increase, especially when you don't have the extra cash. It's effectively a pay cut.
@matigo Because this is America and we haven't yet learned how to provide health care for our citizens at a reasonable cost, because it's apparently too hard for the nation that sent men to the moon and probes to Mars to figure out.
And when I say, "unbelievably expensive," I mean $500 a month for my wife and myself with a huge deductible and a high out-of-pocket maximum. And big copays.
Just got the information for next year's medical insurance through work, and HOLY CRAP IT'S GONNA BE UNBELIEVABLY EXPENSIVE. Unless I go with Kaiser Permanente1, which I probably will.
The largest HMO in Southern California, which is vertically integrated and operates its own hospitals and medical offices, and employs its own doctors.
Unexpected side effect of using Project Fi: I've discovered that the T-Mobile network in my area is a lot better than I thought it was.
