    The fact that not accepting health insurance helps keep prices low says volumes about the US healthcare system.

      Yep, so basically, sign up for the HDHP that offers only a 30 minute annual checkup and menial bankruptcy protection if your issue is short term, for a few hundred bucks per months in premiums, then pay for your actual care needs through a transparent retail organization.

      Insane that’s the best option. Fuck insurers, their lobbies and those who keep them installed.

    Yeah but you have to buy 5 knee surgeries wrapped in shrink wrap. I mean it’s a quality knee surgery, but I just don’t think I can go through 5.
