holy shit is it really 26000?? that’s more than what i pay in tax every year in europe. (granted i am poor but)
26,000 for a high deductible plan.
So you can get 2k, to spend 26K, to spend 10K in deductibles before insurance covers a damn thing.
Medicare will be next to go. Don’t think for a minute that it’s safe

Typical NYC slumlord style: “Free first months rent.”
I looked at an apartment once which was the upstairs of a house. Dogs had eaten large chunks out of the bedroom doors and there were two giant piles of dog shit left in the kitchen. The owner was enormous and unable to climb stairs so she hadn’t seen the state of the place after the previous tenants had moved out. After I told her what the situation was, she said if I cleaned it up myself she would knock off $200 … from the security deposit. Get fucked.
His daddy was exactly that. A slumlord. Rotten apple from a rotten tree
“It’s only $26,000 that’s like the price of a single bottle of wine. Why are the peasants complaining?”
Republican healthcare plan can be sum up as “get fucked and die you dirty peasant”.
$26000?? In Germany, which is neither known for a bad nor for a cheap health care system, the maximum a person is able to pay is 11299.68 € regardless of the number of family members who are included. Ok - if both parents are working the family might pay up to 22599.36 €, but only if both parents were earning more than the cut-off. The majority of people pays far less.
In America, the AVERAGE is $26000. That’s for middle of the road insurance for a family. I have multiple friends whose entire family pays well over 30k - 35k a year for medical insurance (2,800 a month)
Concepts of a plan
Adding $660,000,000,000 to the federal deficit annually and still not making a dent in people’s healthcare costs?
A single-payer universal healthcare system would be cheaper, as almost every other country’s systems show.
The real trick is to get private equity and for-profit corporations out of healthcare. All they do is drive up costs while lowering outcomes.
Healthcare should be a public service, funded by the government.
Yeah, the US actually pays more PUBLIC funds per person than most other nations. Then the private cost on top - all for worse health outcomes.
We need more Luigis just from a financial perspective.
UNH, CVS, ELV and CI share holders disagree with you and thanks to the SCOTUS Citizen United decision they have to money and the legal framework to legally bribe politicians. I’ll suggest to invest in those companies rather than flight them.
as almost every other country’s systems show
You can take out the “almost” here. Literally every other country on Earth pays half or less per capita than what we pay in the US, and this has been the case for decades.
10% off, typically corporate garbage. Whenever you see something with like $100 off you can usually just times it by ten to figure out the real cost.
$2,000 off x 10 = $20,000 which is surprisingly close to the actual cost.
Also, weird, the annual price is going up by 2000 dollars
If you don’t buy insurance, do you still get the money? Or is it like a coupon.
Oh wow! In switzerland there is immense political pressure beause health insurance is very expensive.
I pay 6300 per year.
I’ve got a “Cadillac” plan in Spain, which for a family of 4 is about 5K a year. No copays or anything. Occasionally I’ll have a prescription which will cost €20, and the farmacist will get angry on my behalf.
In the US, we were paying $25,000 (pretax) in premiums for a meh plan with copays at every turn.
Is that all inclusive, or do you pay additional costs when things happen?
The distinction here is important- $26K is premiums which is money that goes to the insurance companies. You will end up paying more than that with co-pays, deductibles, etc.
Usually all inclusive from what Ive heard from others. Problem is wait times. But if it’s not life threating, you’re waiting anyways in the US. United States healthcare is dominated by insurance lobbyist. Fear mongering Republicans keep the system up.
It’s one healthcare, Michael. What could it cost? $2000?
Damn you beat me to it! Take your upvoter and be proud…
Circuses are cheap, bread is expensive
Not in America, you just add more sugar to make it cheap
Absolute circus.
I feel like there should still be 13 stripes
Same. I like the image, but the last two red stripes are inaccurate, and superfluous. We didn’t have 17 or 18 colonies, we had 13.
It’s the 9 original colonies that didn’t vote for Trump in 2024.
Edit: I made that up
(the white stripes also count)
Duum dudum dum dum duuuum duum
