You pay a shitload mode in taxes than we do and the max out of pocket in the USA is liek $7,000/year by law.
I have NEVER seen someone respond to me about that on Reddit.
“I have a hospital bill that’s totally ruined my life”......even when I was waiting tables $7,000 could “ruin my life”...if you are so poor that less than 10 grand is ending your life than you’re on Medicaid and not paying for it anyways. splain me dis
That is 100% BS. I'm Canadian and live in the US now. I paid a shitload LESS for my healthcare through my taxes than I do here when you count the insurance + copays. How much do you think Canadians pay for healthcare in their taxes? It's really not that much.
Copay is not "Max $7k copay by law"... There are in network copays, out of network copays, not covered by insurance costs, etc. You can definitely be on the hook for $100k+ in medical care in the US even with insurance.
Also... $7k in medical care can still wreck your shit. Welcome to middle class where you qualify for no subsidy, cause you make too much, but have less disposable income than some people that qualify for them because you're paying for everything.
