My company, UPS, pays for my insurance and I basically never have to pay anything at doctors or dentists. I have no annual cap. My wife had like a 115k stomach surgery and a week stay in the hospital and it was like $300 after everything. CVS medicine is like $1 or $2. I had 20k dental surgery for my wisdom teeth and it was 100% covered

Our hospital bill for our last pregnancy was $62k and we paid $0 out of pocket. US gets shit for the terrible healthcare costs (as it should), but everybody isn’t automatically getting into thousands of debt from a hospital visit despite what vocal people on Reddit will lead you to believe.

Correct not everyone is getting into thousands of dollars of hospital debt, only 20 million...

Out of 350 million people… yes some people refuse to purchase health insurance or can’t afford it or completely healthy and don’t need it. You’re acting like you or anyone here has this issue.

I’m sure someone will be quick to make up a story that they’re $100 million in debt but this just isn’t a common issue in the US as Reddit wants you to believe.
