Bad news boys. I have cancer. I would implore all to get all strange bumps or moles checked out.

I was expecting cancer, but not for another 20 years.

There's so much I wanted to do. Oh well.

What do people pay for health insurance?

I am looking at $415 a month for family of 3, but that's with a $4,500 deductible and they only pay 70% until i hit 10k. So could easily have $20,000 a year in costs.

I don't know your family's health history but if you are healthy and rarely go to the doctor you may want to consider a health savings account HSA. Instead of a premium you put money monthly in the account (lets say $500 a month) and if you get sick and need to go to the doctor you pay from this account. If you don't use all the $6000 in one year it carries over to next year and you also earn interest and in some plans you can even invest it.

I pay $225 to cover I and the GF (beyond what provides for "free".)

What if you get cancer and the bill is $250,000?

 

[kato]

forgot to mention that includes dental

 

[rito]

They are offering me dental for another $100. Gay.

I pay $350 a month here, but co-pays are $13 for anything. $13 doctor visit. $13 surgery. 9pm saturday night can see a pediatrician in 5 minutes.

If you get cancer you will die so why bother with buying insurance in the first place? It's better to die without leaving your family broke.
