Hitting the Financial Precipice
ARE WE THERE YET?
Seems like a good bulk of the US population is approaching the financial precipice. Been reading how health insurance (for people lucky enough to enjoy) have increased 3-5 fold with employers in 2024. The cost of everything becoming prohibitive. Massive layoffs. The media adds salt to the wound by touting strong metrics.
Painful awakening for many.
Where has health insurance risen this much?
No idea. And I don't understand why anyone here would be so upset about it, anyway. I would think anyone here who understands that the medical industry can't be trusted wouldn't be so worried about health insurance. Why would anyone who understands how evil the medical industry is willingly pay money to go to them so they can harm you?
President Trump got that stupid clause in the ACA eliminated, where it was saying people either had to have insurance or pay a penalty. So you don't even have to pay a penalty any more if you don't have insurance.
The only thing the medical field is good for is physical accidents, like broken legs.
It makes more sense to take whatever you would pay for health insurance and put it into a separate account just in case you get hurt. There are also Christian-based groups that work somewhat like insurance.
But really, why even be worried over how much health insurance costs if you have enough sense to stay away from doctors?
Unless you live in a state that requires, then it’s a state penalty
