    Let’s unbundle health insurance from your employer. You shouldn’t be tied to a shitty job just so you can go to a doctor.

      But then how can the owner class trap workers into abusive jobs while also ensuring no one has the audacity to start their own company and become financially independent? Won’t someone think of the shareholders?

      Leave your job and lose your insurance. Everything is 100x cheaper that way. Doctors charge very little for cash paying customers. Emergency rooms and urgent cares just write off most of it to charity and charge you a bit if anything at all. The most I’ve paid for is lab work, but that’s a few and far between and still only like 500 bucks for a full panel.

      YMMV. I’ve been doing this for three years and have paid less in TOTAL than private insurance wants for ONE MONTH.
