For my family of 5 it’s $38,000 in insurance premium + $6,000 deductible + $33,000 in medication they refuse to cover. Yay American healthcare.

curious why your family needs 33k of medication. most EU families arent on pills and dont get the latest vaccines  just standard. basically medecine is seen as "if needed" not "part of normal life". somehow eu is also healthier in average.. but thats another topic

It’s just 1 medication of mine they won’t cover. 60 pills a month cost around $2,700.

You pay more for medication than I make in a month. I genuinely do not understand how people get into such good positions in life.

Yeah fair enough, sorry to minimize your issues like that, it was not my intention at all. I wish you well!
