Car insurance is relatively simple. I shop around, telling them how much coverage I want. They request my driving history, and give me a quote. At any time, I can shop around and change insurance policies without any problems. Once it’s time to collect payment, it’s a relatively simple matter. What makes health insurance so difficult, controlling, unreliable, and expensive? For example, with health insurance:
-
Can only shop during a specific enrollment period
-
Policies are so complex, the vast majority of the population can’t understand them
-
It’s commonly provided in part by the employer because buying a policy otherwise is prohibitively expensive
-
Insurance companies are notorious for denying payments
Yes. With employment insurance, your employer pays a large chunk of it, its called benefits for a reason. Like 401k matching, if you dont use it, youre leaving money on the table
They definitely marketed effectively to you.
That’s not a good thing.
Do you not have a 401k? Or a Roth IRA? Are you at least paying into social security?
No, no, and yes until the so-called Republicans gut it and pocket the money.
You’re not speaking the same language here.
You really need to start saving for retirement, its never too early, and if you start late, it can still help
Unless you’re offering to pay for it I’m in the same boat as many others. I live check to check, there is no extra.
I really doubt you cant find ten bucks every pay period
Imagine how much more money you’d make grinding your life away instead of hanging out here with us losers. Hell, you should be charging for your advice here, no need to give it away for free!
“You should save for retirement” isnt exactly ground breaking advice.
Healthcare is a human right, it should have never been a benefit tied to employment.
Thats why Medicare and Medicaid exist
