| 45. For the world's crappiest coverage, over 500/month for fam. of 3. |
|
And next year it'll be a lot more, as will the year after that.
Deductables are five grand. Basically, that means almost everything we're likely to have to have done this year will be out of pocket.
It's shit, but that's life in America. And the people in power do not give a fuck.
