I have fantastic insurance through my wife who has a job with NYC. It’s a game changer. You stop worrying about the cost and start taking care of yourself. I’d lose this coverage if Medicare for All rolled out and, even then, I’d be ok with that because it’s better for the country.
I’ve got kind of the same thing for my daughter, except that she’s so medically complex you basically resign yourself at the beginning of the year to paying $5500/year for the deductible on top of the premiums you’re paying no matter what so you might as well get your money’s worth.
To be fair, we’ve gotten excellent care and I can only think of two denials. Daughter was born 3 months early so that requires a lot of appointments and stuff but she’s doing really well now compared to where we were.
