I pointed out similar data up thread #44 - I paid around 1000 per month for myself with a 5000 dollar deductible and no drug benefit. I don’t get irk’d, but I am sometimes surprised that people don’t know the true cost of insurance, and the benefits that they are actually getting.

Yeah looks like we were in kind of the same boat. It bothers me to hear them gripe about small amounts. I see it as part of the reason the country is where it is now with insurance. Everyone wants gold plated insurance but doesn’t want to pay for it.

My gripe is that Obamacare has escalated insurance and medical payments to ridiculous amounts. I worked for 50 years and expected to have more of my health care covered. Especially after paying for health insurance AND Medicare for all those 50 years.

” I am sometimes surprised that people don’t know the true cost of insurance, and the benefits that they are actually getting.”

Amen to that. One would think that on a venue such as this folks would not be so ignorant. It’s really comical to hear someone piss-and-moan over a $15 copay.

It speaks to the pervasiveness of the government gravy train - even “conservatives” are riding it and indignant when they have to cough up a dollar or two for their own health.

If they knew what people like you were paying to carry them, they might be able to be convinced to, at a minimum, stop whining “its not FREEEEEEEE”
