lol to cover my wife and myself with short term major medical health insurance with a maximum cap (lmao) of $1m this insurance company wants $506 a month. $10k deductible. 20% co-insurance after deductible. this does not include dental or vision and excludes pre-existing conditions.

i'm starting a new job with employer coverage soon but jesus loving christ this country is so god drat garbage it's insane

:d2a:

yeah. my wife and i were in the same scenario last month. her old work was the source of our insurance because my work doesn't offer it to anyone. she got hired at a new place and started in early october, so we didn't have insurance until nov 1. since we don't have kids, we just went the "lol hope we don't have a heart attack or get into a car accident" route and got by the month without issue. we know we're lucky in that we can just skip a month of coverage and hope for the best

for-profit health care is evil and health care should not be tied to being employed or being too poor and/or old

I grew up in rural IL and at one of the many towns I lived in for a few years my next door (half mi away) neighbor was a Kluxer. His son was my fishing buddy for a while and was always telling Klan "jokes" which were mostly remarks about the joy of beating or killing black people disguised as "humor." This was in the late 70s. What really struck me in hindsight though was how these "jokes" were obvious propaganda in the purest sense; intended to propagate an attitude in innocent people without relying on facts. We lived in the whitest part of the United States, and there was no way this boy had every been exposed to black people in his life, yet was trying, I'm sure just like his father, to spread "jokes" about murdering people he'd never seen or met.

Rural IL, like alot of the Midwest, has a history stretching back when it was an ordinance of black farmers fleeing the south and tilling the soil there. The first black lawyer and elected politician came from there. The region's biggest farms were under black ownership.

It took a long history of pogroms to undo that and bottle blacks in the cities. Theres a new book about it I'll see if I can find the title.

... But what care? Apparently not anything you already know you need. So you just don't get treated for that? And on top of $506/mo it sounds like you also have to pay a bunch of extra money for ... anything new that pops up? I legit have no idea how for-profit healthcare works in the U.S., it makes no sense.

Rural Illinois in the late 80's through mid-90's was the same. CHUD's. CHUD's never change.
