Why We Love the NHS and Our American Health Insurance Experience

American health insurance is something we lived with for years, for Brett - his WHOLE life!In this episode, we break down:• What American health insurance actually is• How deductibles, copays, coinsurance, and out-of-pocket maximums really work• Whether it’s possible to avoid surprise medical bills• And why we are so grateful to be experiencing the NHS (National Health Service) We’re not here to bash either system. The United States has world-class medical care and innovation. But the financial structure behind it can be complex — and emotionally stressful — especially when you have children.After experiencing both systems as a US-UK family, we share what surprised us most.If you’ve ever wondered:Can you cap all medical costs in America?Why do surprise bills happen?How does it compare to the NHS?We’re diving into it!Important NoteThis episode reflects our lived experience navigating healthcare in both countries.
