And I'm not about to entrust my healthcare to an entity that has proven time and again to be massively inept and inefficient in everything they do.

i mean, ive saved a decent amount and i stay healthy as i can but it sucks avoiding things like soccer or basketball because you dont have health insurance.

I would've saved like $3k over the same time period. My company requires yearly physical as well so that would've been $500+ out of pocket each year. So cut that down to $1500 in savings over a few years.
Just because you've saved money by not buying insurance doesn't mean everyone else is getting fricked. My deductible is $700 and I pay $65 a month.
And I don't have to worry about this shite. That's no way to live.

BCBS just sent me my 2018 health insurance premium renewal notice. These greedy bastards want $3100 a month and when you factor in total paid premium and deductible that I will have to pay for 2018 it would equal $43,000 before the insurance company picks up dollar one.
This is so fricking ridiculous it defies logic.
What defies logic is that there are people being subsidized and paying pennies on the dollar while the rest of us pay an exorbitant premium in order to pick up the difference. Welcome to Socialist America.

President Obama was the worst thing to ever happen to this country.

You also have to think of the time frame.
It's roughly ~1500 savings per year.
And I seriously doubt most folks are saving that in their bank account.

Health insurance premiums and deductibles climb every year.

We need universal healthcare

I was going to make a joke about the difference between $3100 a month and what I pay for my employer-sponsored plan, but it's beyond humor.
I'll potentially need to extend my working career by several years in order to pay for health insurance between retirement and 65 years old.

im happy for you and thats a reasonable amount to pay.
also, i dont know where you live but many cities offer free physicals; Lucas House Clinic in new orleans, for example, has a service.
so i do that and then pay $250 for my own blood panel every year.

So rocket what are you going to do if you are involved in some sort of accident that injures you?

frickin Obama....

Saving $800ish a year is not worth the potential of a serious medical event draining my bank accounts. I chose my employer because they offered a great medical plan at little cost to me. I did the self employed run for 6 years and got tired of it.

naa, id pay out of pocket for something minor. you can usually negotiate if youre paying in cash.
for something serious, id move all my assets into bitcoin and declare bankruptcy
what a way to live, thanks obama and thanks trump for no repeal/replace
