    This. I’m paying nearly $500 a month for shitty insurance that I literally can’t afford the co-pays to actually use. I would literally just go uninsured if my employer weren’t reimbursing me for the premium. It’s functionally the same thing.

      I haven’t seen a doctor in over 20 years. I didn’t have insurance for most of that time. I’ve finally had insurance in the last five years or so, but now I can’t find a doctor my insurance covers that is taking new patients.

      I work at a hospital that provides hospital based insurance for their employees. I paid more in copays to use their Physical Therapy staffed by PT students than it was to go to a local out of network PT place.

      They still couldn’t determine exactly how I injured my knee not how to help. This, in addition to all the steps it took to get to the Rehab referral aspect wiped out 2 years of my FSA
