Through United I was paying $1300 a month with a $5000 individual deductible for a family plan (only included routine pediatric dental). $80 specialist copays, $40 routine visits. ER care is only covered a certain % no matter what it is and there’s an additional $250 deductible just for walking into the hospital.
Still paid roughly $8000 out of pocket for a natural child birth and prenatal care.
It was so bad I took a full time job just for the insurance.
- grecy 6y ago> ER care is only covered a certain % no matter what it is Doesn't that mean if you're in a massive car crash and require a ton of surgery and many months in hospital you'll essentially be bankrupt? ... what a terrible way to live.
- hshshs2 6y agoThere’s an out of pocket maximum ($xx,xxx) that kicks in at some point I think? I’m honestly not entirely sure if that covers everything in an emergency... healthcare being a leading cost of bankruptcy is no joke. I don’t think the average person really understands how close they are to financial ruin.
