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

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 26 points 2 weeks ago

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!

Monthly? Dafuq..

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

It's a racket

Best country in the world they keep telling us.

How shitty Americans must think the world is.

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

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