if you're still heavily invested in the stock market near retirement age, you're doing something very wrong

lead in gasoline caused lead poisoning, leading to an increase in violent crime. now most fuel is unleaded, reducing the incidence of lead poisoning, and leading directly to a decrease in violent crime

paycheck to paycheck isn't "the system", or there's no way 40% of people would be able to avoid it

everything you've listed is what you pay at the point of service. are your premiums covered 100% by your employer, or what?

thanks for explaining things i already know, and that have no fucking bearing on the question OP asked.

this isn't "whose health care experience is better and less costly" - the question was "what does US health care cost", which is the question i answered.

on the one hand - my wife and i didn't have insurance when my oldest was born, as i was doing contractor work overseas. Between one thing and another over the course of that year, we paid like $8k in medical expenses, including all the obgyn visits and the actual delivery, plus a hernia repair for me. The hospital was very easy to work with. Our income was very high so it was not exactly a burden. (8k was about 2% of total salary)

on the other hand - this year, with insurance we're going to pay about $6k in insurance premiums and $8k in medical expenses before we hit our deductible (~7% of total salary)

on the gripping hand - last year we had really excellent insurance. we paid a total of $1200 for the year in premiums, $50/pay period, and our deductible was only $2k. (~1% of total salary)

So it definitely varies a lot

you seem to be misreading the message. if you no longer have access to your email account that is linked to discord, what the hell can discord do about it? nothing. so you have to contact the email provider's customer service to get access to your email account.

this is not just reasonable, it's the only way it could work. or do you think Google customer service will help you reset your lemmy password?
