A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

I'm sorry who the fuck has a $1000 deductible??? We have decent insurance for the US and the deductible is $7500 each (family plan thru employment)...

My last two jobs had really great insurance with no deductible and little to no premium paid by me. Really lucked out when I had a bone breaking accident.

My current insurance from a rather large company is $3500 deductible in network, $6000 out of network, and $450 a month paid by me.

My insurance is fully covered by my employer. It's rare, but it does exist.

Your employer pays your deductible?

Sorry I meant premium. I hate insurance terminology

If you make like <=25k/year (individual), subsidizes make it possible...
