I have “American Fat-boy Syndrome”, and as such have in several years exceeded my max deductible and my max out-of-pocket expenses, meaning for the rest of the year I don’t pay either. On the one hand, thanks, Obama! On the other, sucks that it is necessary.
The difference between health insurance and, say, car insurance, is that you will get sick at some point. You are essentially banking your future payouts.
Deductible is not a term we know in Europe, same thing goes for co-payments and bankruptcy due to health care costs.But our taxes are a little higher, so there is that.

I deduce that the folks at Acme don’t cover anything that doesn’t involve chasing a roadrunner.

This is my argument against people that say medicare for all would cost people in the insurance industry their jobs. “Good”.

I didn’t know “deductible” was Latin for “screw you”, but do know that “vegan” is Native American for “bad hunter”. :-)
I also know that “gullible” is not in the dictionary. :-X
