When I first arrived in the United States for my doctoral studies, I was shocked at how expensive mandatory healthcare insurance was. At several thousand a year, it seemed a lot more expensive than the twenty or thirty dollars we’d pay when we saw our doctor. (1/n) Image
Plus, I was 25. I would go to the doctor maybe twice a year, if even that often (remember when you were that invincible?). I thought that U.S. healthcare was just an unfair tax on the young and healthy, a reflection of the overall poor health of the American population. (2/n)
I’ve since learned that, all things considered, the couple thousand bucks was a pretty decent deal. Insurance covered visits to the dentist and eye doctor, plus routine care. And if I was admitted to hospital, the out-of-pocket expenses, while high, wouldn’t break the bank. (3/n)
