How many conservatives here pay for the entire cost of their health care?

[Mustang]

Are you paying your own way, or are you one of those people being subsidized by others? To answer that question honestly, have you or anyone else in your immediate family received health care (like operations, treatments, and/or medications) where the cost greatly exceeded the amount you've paid in premiums, co-pays, and deductibles, etc.?

Yo, $500.00 a month for full coverage! I think that is high, since I don`t use it? Maybe it should come down to a user fee?

My employer pays my premiums
2yrs ago it was 500 deductible, 80/20 after that with $25 doctor visits (10&20 prescriptions)
Last year it was 3000 deducible, 80/20 and $25 (15&30 scripts)

NOW it's 4000 with 70/30 after deductible....no doctor visit special copay and no prescription discounts--everything goes toward deductible

Well, if you never get sick, you're subsidizing those who do. If you or anyone else in your immediate family who is covered under your policy ever become seriously ill or injured and requires hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of health care, then you're being subsidized by everyone else who never gets seriously ill.

I'm socially liberal, but fiscally conservative and I paid the 220,000 for my open heart surgery out of pocket. The majority was to the hospital. My surgeon was only 4860 bucks, and he was Mayo Clinic before he moved here. They literally built the cardiac unit around him.

Yo, lucky you`re not talking to Mark Levin? He would tell you there is no such Political Party such as yours?
Glad you`re still alive!

ObamaCare drove a 35 percent drop in America's uninsured rate

Approximately 16.4 million people have gained health insurance since ObamaCare went into effect, according to a report released Monday by the Department of Health and Human Services. As a result, the uninsured rate has fallen from 20.3 percent at the time of ObamaCare's debut to 13.2 percent today — a 35 percent (or 7.1 percentage point) drop.

<snip>

Most of the drop came after ObamaCare's first open enrollment period in Oct. 2013. Since then, 14.1 million adults have gained coverage. Jon Terbush


And yet-----and yet, Republicans are obsessed with destroying millions of Americans H̶e̶a̶l̶t̶h̶ ̶I̶n̶s̶u̶r̶a̶n̶c̶e̶ ☞ Healthcare.

I have not payed for health insurance or been to.a quack in 18 years, why are liberals so sick and accident prone?

 

[hipeter924]

I pay full cost, with no employer contribution or ACA subsidy. I am not a conservative though. I have never required an operation or anything beyond injections and a few antibiotics/acne pills. Obviously I take good care of my health.

 

[SwimExpert]

I pay for my own health care. All of it. Every last penny. Period.

That statement makes no sense boilermaker, especially since my post makes no bearing on whether or not the health system works.

 

[Dan Daly]

I can safely say that, to-date, I have paid in way more than they have paid out. Knocking on wood that trend continues right up until my ashes are spread.

 

[boilermaker55]

It should. It was not a contradiction about what you posted or not. It was a simple statement saying, some are lucky with their health and others are not lucky.
If health care helps an individual with poor health to lead a happier healthier life, do not take it away from them.
My personal health status has no bearing on my comment to yours.
Simply put, the "christian" attitude would be to help those that need help.

Healthcare started getting expensive about the time when insurance use started to rise.

What a coincidence.

My Mom and Dad paid about 50 bucks for me to be born in a Hospital (1963) and my Dad worked out an interest free patent plan with them .

Sounds like a shitty employer that makes their employees pay a deductible.
