what health insurance? Why do they call it health insurance when it doesn't insure that you will be healthy anyways? Hopefully next year we can get insurance with a high deductable for emergencies, since we don't go to the doctors hardly at all.
You should make it a poll Rex... and make it ranges, like $200-299, $300-399... or something along those lines. I'm sure you'd get a lot more responses then. Where I am single people pay about $50/month. When you get married that jumps up to $100+/month & families are over $300+/month.
$160 every month for me, wife, and 2 daughters. EDIT: Whoops, I didn't realize the above poster dug up a 180+ day old thread.
In most European countries we pay a % of salaries ... so not really like in US, when you get health insurances from a insurance company,etc.
I'm in Australia and have never bought into the private health insurance thing. I'm going into surgery next week - private hospital with a top surgeon. I'll still be way in front paying for it myself than if I'd had private insurance for the last 10 years.
Yes is very true, you will only have to pay the percentage that isn't covered under medicare.. But health insurance is a scam unless you get a reduction in annual costs for not having claimed in the year , though I never see any company offer an incentive ~ they rather scare you into thinking you need it.
