I found out when I went to get a COVID booster in Nov. 2021 that the health insurance I'd been paying for for 2+ years at my employer at the time had my birthdate listed as 4/14/2019 instead of 4/14/86, so I was ineligible to receive care until the insurance company dealt with the primary holder supposedly being 2 years old. Thankfully I was grandfathered into a sweetheart plan negotiated in 1999, so I was paying $28/mo for the same plan my previous employer had me paying ~$150/mo for. Sayonara to that one when that plant closed for good in March  when I first started working there, single was $14/mo

That's called "your employer wants you all going independent through the marketplace and to stop loving with their bottom-line"

pencilhands posted:is obamacare any better? it depends on plans, but the plan your employer purchased for all of you was purchased out of sheer contempt for a law they have to follow and they don't actually want you using it

hot cocoa on the couch posted:i have a blood disorder and maybe cancer??? (seeing my dr today to get the results of the latest biopsy), and need regular IVIG to keep my platelets at a level where my blood isn't actively trying to kill me. i get it 1-2 times a month right now. and i need special type-matched stuff cause i have O- blood. i looked up the cost in america for this and it's ten thousand loving dollars per dose lmfao. in america i'd probably just die My brother has MODY, has a good insurance plan, is in a union, and the insurance company constantly rejects paying for his labs and insulin because, "MODY is not actually diabetes" They've also done this to my mother for 20 years, once they changed her diagnosis from type 1 to MODY MrQwerty fucked around with this message at 16:38 on Oct 5, 2023 |

hot cocoa on the couch posted:i know this is psycho rereg guy but lol that some stupid rear end americans think that american domestic policy like obamacare is the reason for CoL increases, pretending the whole rest of the world doesn't exist watching the chip shortage happen in real-time was really eye-opening as to how hosed everything is worldwide, because it was all a house of cards built on the guarantee that something like COVID would never, ever happen, pinky swear it took 5 months from "there's a weird virus in china," to, "you're all laid off for at least a month because we can't build circuitboards anymore," while at the same time worldwide healthcare systems were in free-fall MrQwerty fucked around with this message at 19:21 on Oct 6, 2023 |
