I used to live in ri, paid 420 a month for a half decent dental and health plan from BCBS. I moved to Vermont, went to look up insurance cost and since I make a godly 53k a year BEFORE taxes, I don't qualify for any assistance. A catastrophic plan here is 450 a month. A mid silver plan is 1k a month. I literally cannot afford to have health insurance anymore, and so I have been priced out. Now that I don't have coverage I just hope I never get sick or hurt again. I broke my arm bad and it was 30k between surgery and ambulance and emergency room (in ri and my health insurance covered it), if something like that happened now id just have to bury myself in debt. If I'm not mistaken medical debt is one of the leading causes of bankruptcy in the USA.

I think it's about time for an organized mass murder of all healthcare ceos.... Maybe then they'll learn? Or do we need to go after the shareholders too? What will it take? How can we make them quiver in their boots half as much as they fucked us out of paychecks only to tell us to get bent when we request the care we've paid for?
