For the first time in my life, I have hit my deductible AND reached my out-of-pocket maximum. I now have three months of actual free healthcare, which is unheard of in the US. What should I get done? (sh.itjust.works)

Biologically male procedures only. EDIT: If the two people who downvoted this question could explain their reasoning, I would be super interested. No judgements. This is a safe space!

Man I live in a country with socialized healthcare and we don't get dental either. Or vision.

There are private insurance providers who offer both. But they ONLY offer services to employers and I've never had a company offer such a benefit. Because you don't need luxury bones to work and any employer who makes you work with a screen is already forced to cover up to some sum every year or every few years (I don't remember) spent on glasses. And there's little point in all the other coverage because it's already free.

I'm this close to starting my own company so I could offer myself dental...
