So UHC came to my job to pitch their plans for the employer health insurance. They wanted something like $1400/mo and I guess enough people complained because a new email just came up for $1000/mo.

For family plans

Sorry, Canadian… Are you saying that to get healthcare you have to pay this company, out of your own pocket, a grand a month? And just hope they don’t deny etc and forget about any deductible?

Yeah, 1k a month and then you go to your annual checkup which is covered but the dr orders labs which aren’t so you pay 1200 for them. It’s a scam.

Thats… Not the worst price ive seen either.

I have a different provider, and with 2 kids and knowing how many visits they’ll have (plus me and my wife obviously), upgraded my plan. I pay about double that.

It gets worse as you get older too. My dad was 1 month over 70 and they denied him a lung replacement because he was too old. He died 6mos later. Paid into the system since he was 25.
