Which is exactly NOT the case in real life, because visibility is important.

Accepting the low visibility of the starfarer is just the first of many steps to being okay with all the stupid poo poo in this 'game'

No, not well at all. :smith:

Does he have a poo poo load of heart monitors rigged up? Last time I had "flu" I certainly didn't need to be rigged up to an ecg. Guessing all those wires and stick ons are an indication of his health.

Regardless of his health, fascinating how they spun it as the flu Friday. It will be interesting how CIG handles this one.

For those not in the states...(and let's not do the whole health insurance poo poo here, is what it is)

Ben's visit is going to be around $75K out of CIG pockets if he is in there a few days. There is a line item on the income and expenses titled "Group Insurance". And it is brutal.

Can CIG terminate Ben? Certainly. How this is normally accomplished is by terminating the position, not the person. Doing so they are on the hook for unemployment costs. Or they could do a severance package to launch him off. Either way is a financial hit and he can still get COBRA coverage.

So what should Ben do? FMLA paperwork, especially Intermediate leave. Would somewhat protect himself and stall the entire process. After that, he could call himself probably around 75% disabled and collect benefits after a lot of legwork.

do you know how insurance loving works, you tool?

BenLesnickDeveloper, recover, and rethink. Rethink everything. Not refactor. No, don't change some variables so the whole stuff still works the same. Start from a white paper. And draw your life how you want it to go on, and how you dream it to end one day. No Wing Commander needed.

To be completely honest, I'm not a fan of being mean to anyone when they are in health trouble, I just see this as a massive wakeup call for him that he really needs to act upon :)

A note on health care in america, it is broken.

I was in the hospital about 2 years ago from a car accident, nothing too serious, but I had to stay there for 3 days.

Total bill was $29,800 roughly. Insurance covered 90%, thankfully, but that other 10% is yours.

They still charge you 80 dollars for a dose of aspirin, not the tylenol3s, not the good stuff, regular old aspirin.

So stay out of hospitals.

That being said, bens got the dracula widows peak look down pat, even to the skin color.

People not in the know, myfitnesspal is a good website that helps you track how much you're eating. He probably told his doctors about his scraped cheesesteak diet and they suddenly understood.

I wasn't sure if he was scraping off the meat and eating the bread, or only eating the meat.

Ben looks really bad. His skin looks like it's dying. He looked extremely unwell in that picture he posted to his twitter a few days ago too. If he has sepsis, he's in a very serious situation right now.
