I watched Hank Green's stand up today and he let out the secret to cancer in the US. It's the one thing the health insurance industry doesn't want you to know! Just make sure to get your cancer at the start of the year so you can max that deductible and get free healthcare the rest of the year!

You joke but....

I was in a benefits meeting a few years ago led by the insurance rep for our employee health coverage.

Deductibles came up.

I raised my hand and asked, "So if I go skiing for Christmas and snap my femur on December 26, it behooves me to delay any treatment until January 1, right?"

She didn't miss a beat and said, "Yes, that's correct."

There was a stunned silence in the room from that one.

Yup. National coping humor. But there's nothing wrong with the US, really! I swear!
