Where can I sign up for a monthly bill of $600 and a $5,000 deductible to get a free yearly physical and birth control?

Deal spotters everywhere are jumping in on this one!

High demand is greater than ten. Enormous demand is fifty or more.

I signed up for a Medicare Advantage policy on an exchange about 6 weeks ago, before the rush. Twice I sat on hold for at least 45 minutes before they dropped my call. When I finally got through to them the call took 3.5 hours. The experience on the sign-up call was a surreal. It was scripted nonsense.
