American healthcare worker explaining their Anthem health insurance plan - Pays $1,500 per month for health insurance - It’s $6,800 before insurance covers anything - I have not one time in my near 60 year career hit my deductible “I have had two back surgeries, 4 MRIs, and I've paid cash for every single one of them. When I had my back surgery, they told me to bring a check for $3,200 to the operating room. If you say you want to pay cash, you'll save money. — I had a MRI that was like $350 that I paid cash for. With my s*itty Anthem insurance it was $680 That was my cost share So if you want to pay more money, use your damn insurance.” They says it’s ALWAYS cheaper to use cash. US health insurance is now a scam
