    What if all American’s cancel their insurance. Why are we paying these people for a service that they don’t provide!? If I’m going to be sick and broke because my insurance is too expensive to actually use, why not be sick and broke while not giving them our money.

      well because 3 times the premium cost is still far below the cost of surgery. i am currently recovering from the removal of a cyst in my jaw that ate half my jaw leaving bone barely 3 playing cards thick in some areas. there was nothing i could have done to avoid it. the surgery too make the marsupilisation to drain the area alone was $3500, with only pain numbing. still awaiting the final surgery cost, but the anastegeologist is $1500 that i have to pay. and the stitches from my mandolin accident costs me an additional $1500.

      this is ALL what i have to pay, while i have silver level coverage
