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

      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!
