Yup. I did a quick search. Cost of a kite board — $2000 on average. Cost of a trip to Florida, probably another $2000. At the minimum. Cost of private insurance on the exchange? Under $300 / month. So if this poster took the $4000 vacation, he could have health insurance for 36 months.
But he wants to stick the dedicated professionals WHO MUST BY LAW take care of him. It actually cost the MD money to care for this patient. Disgusting.
“Cost of private insurance on the exchange? Under $300 / month”
Problem with the exchange is high deductible. He still might have had to pay the first $5,000 of his bill even with Obamacare insurance.
I’m not taking sides here, but thought the deductible should be included in the discussion.
