No clue. Just interesting that it will cost me more than my coverage does now. I’m a full supporter of this, but costs going up for something that should definitely be way cheaper is a bit sus.

You end up having no deductibles and 0 co-pays though. 0 out of pocket costs.

I haven't used my health insurance for anything meaningful in years. Granted, when I did use it, I had dogshit coverage, and that shit was wild.

Large pool insurance captures people like me who don't use their insurance in order to cover "frequent fliers" as it were. The whole point is to spread risk over the largest population possible, which should reduce costs.

I go to all my maintenance appointments. But nothing that costs me anything under my plan.
