Sorry, Canadian... Are you saying that to get healthcare you have to pay this company, out of your own pocket, a grand a month? And just hope they don't deny etc and forget about any deductible?
In short yes.
It gets worse as you get older too. My dad was 1 month over 70 and they denied him a lung replacement because he was too old. He died 6mos later. Paid into the system since he was 25.
My condolences.
From their perspective that is a the perfect customer pretty much all profit.
This is essentially current corporate culture and all mega corps operate like this. Health just exposes how mental I'll this behavior is.
Yeah, 1k a month and then you go to your annual checkup which is covered but the dr orders labs which aren't so you pay 1200 for them. It's a scam.
Thats... Not the worst price ive seen either.
I have a different provider, and with 2 kids and knowing how many visits they'll have (plus me and my wife obviously), upgraded my plan. I pay about double that.
