So how much does health insurance cost in the US? I've always been kind of curious what people (which would be interest to compare to the 40% of our tax dollars here in Canada that go to health care).

My whole family except my mum and us 4 in this house have had covid over Christmas. Now my brother and his wife are alcoholics and smoke a pack a day. High b.p.Double vaccinated with different vaccines. AZ and pfizer.
Not one symptom.
The others very mild . One unvaccinated had it twice. Worse 2nd time and ill 10 days.
Reading above about children worrys me. But how can the ones with poor health have no symptoms.
It would be interesting and not out of the realms of science to figure that out.0 -

$40 copays and still have to pay for lab work.
My primary care doctor used to be free until 2 years ago then they started charging me a copay for that too...0 -

We've seen incredibly varied outcomes, from asymptomatic to death.
Obviously, folks with compromised immune systems are more susceptible, but not everyone in a high-risk group has ended up gravely ill if they come in contact with the virus.This weekend we rock Portland0 -

That is just insurance. Deductible is like $8K then coinsurance is like up to a total out of pocket of $12K or something.
So...if we have a year where we are healthy we likely just pay the $1080/month plus some minimal out of pocket.
If we were to have issues (accident, cancer, etc.) we would pay the $1080/month plus our max out of pocket of $12KRemember the Thomas Nine !! (10/02/2018)

The US obviously needs a better system…
Just don’t look to Canadas shitty system.
the area I live in serves nearly 1 million people…we have 3 hospitals, 2 are being closed and being replaced by 1 hospital with less beds than we currently have…lol.Those 3 hospitals,
eventually 2, serve an area 2000 square kms.Imagine being an Parmedic…Give Peas A Chance…0 -

What happens when you've got something mild or not that bad. I have mild Asthma, of which I need to see a doctor from time to time to get my prescription renewed. I would also assume there would be stuff like seeing a GP to do preventative stuff like prostate exams or mammograms kind of thing. Is that all out of pocket because it would most likely be below the deductible?

No country is going to prioritize the health of their citizens as a first priority. The government would prefer you in the ground once you retire and have to rely more on the system…the government is all about take, take ….

In Quebec they are considering not allowing unvaccinated to buy alcohol or cannabis…
More proof we choose the dumb to lead.
visit any indigenous community to buy alcohol or cannabis…
there is no shortage of black market cannabis and alcohol being sold in Canada…

I can't say for sure but it might allow for recommended mammograms and colonoscopies, etc. The ACA insurance is proactive rather than reactive. I was surprised when we first signed up and started getting notifications to get an annual checkup, etc.Remember the Thomas Nine !! (10/02/2018)
