    Last I checked the US spent more than any comparable country on healthcare/capita, roughly twice the OECD average.
    And, they have to deal with medical bankruptcies, using Uber instead of ambulances, insulin rationing, and whatnot

    I was doing the math on the new benefits package my company is rolling out and we're getting close to the point it'd be cheaper in nearly every instance to simply not have health insurance. I'm literally only keeping it for that slim chance one of us becomes extremely ill and needs major medical intervention.

    This industry is like a balloon waiting to pop.
