Idk, it sounds better to just pay out of pocket to visit the doctor regularly, save the health insurance money in a separate account. Then if you need surgery, book a vacation to Spain. If you get cancer, a debilitating disease or an emergency hospital visit, just move to Spain with the funds you saved up, and never look back.

A universal healthcare option would be a far better alternative, of course.

I mean, save a bunch of steps and get the fuck on up outta the US, probably.

I looked into it and it's actually really hard but yeah, that, or like you said; universal healthcare.
