It's not the cost of issurence it's the cost of care.i'll probably have to pay it though. my deductible is $3500 so i'm on the hook for all of it since this is my first medical care for the year (2015).
Both my wife and the twins spent two months in the hospital for a grand total of 220,000 dollars.
Lets me give a little example of abuse by the hospitals for charging to much for care.
The medicine cost which consisted of Ibuprofen and a prescription that cost us 10 bucks at walmart. 8,500. WFT?
The problem is that Oculus adds 27% to the price of the Rift to all European countries (without shipping), do you know how many countries in the EU have 27% VAT? One and it's fudgy Hungary, every other country has lower tax rates, here in germany for instance the Oculus would be 656€ if you applied the actual local tax rate, but no they are jacking up the price because of a country whose population makes up less than 5% of Europe. So nope, sorry germans don't have to blame their own government here but Oculus.sorry about bold.
Edit: Oh and since this thread has somehow devloved into a conversation about healthcare: I pay about 90€ a month for health insurance, that pretty much covers me.
i think we can all agree thought that OR is digging it's own grave regardless of where you live. there will probably be a decent number for day-1 buyers but like the vita i expect sales to drop off very quickly after that.
