It seems as though they can't understand why anyone wouldn't want to be American, which is kinda nutty.

Oh, they know this is junk. It's just noise to split focus away from what they're really doing.

Yeah, you'd have to pay me a lot more to even consider it, $10000 seems laughably low.

Yeah. Someone else suggested it might cover your first ambulance ride. I'm thinking maybe your first year health insurance?

Edit - it was just a wild guess, but here's a badly formatted table copied from an article in Forbes:

Age of member Average monthly costs

  • Age 21 $445
  • Age 27 $467
  • Age 30 $505
  • Age 40 $569
  • Age 50 $795
  • Age 60 $1,208

So, for my age, my guess was almost exactly right!

You pay that per month, and still get denied healthcare.

It's a racket

Best country in the world for billionaires.
