How did CNN ignore the elephant in the room?<p>You pay all this money, and you're facing an average $7,500 per family deductible <i>on top of all this</i>.<p>Healthcare, or rather, the healthcare <i>system</i> in America (Land of the Middleman) is truly and utterly <i>fucked</i>, excuse my language.
I appreciated how forced the presentation of abortion was in this article. As if that is the most critical issue that families face? “Oh no, workers will be getting paycuts to fund their insurance and then they won’t be covered for abortions!”<p>What about food and shelter and school supplies and gas and and and… as a person with a “large” (modern times) family I can tell you, the cost of our abortions haven’t increased but everything else is through the roof. Recently cleaning out some things and found a supermarket flyer from 2014-2017, and let me tell you. Wow. Double, triple prices on a lot of things. And it seems like to me most of the rising of the cost have been in the last 2-3 years.<p>We do fine in the clearance meat and organic aisle since people around here don’t like fresh and healthy food, we are fortunate, but CNN can stuff it with their virtue signaling.
Headline is misleading as the employee share of this is $6,575 for a family or $1400 for a single. Rest is borne by employer but is generally a tax writeoff for them.
