Not shocking, although it was quicker than I expected. I was thinking more towards the end of the year once he got everything he wanted, but I think he is taking too much heat even for his comfort.

The only enjoyable part is knowing that the people can make it bad enough that they will leave.

Finally, some decent news…

Nah, more like 20.

Maybe they just didn’t care?

Exactly the bullshit verdict expected.

I’m kind of confused. Why is he on stage with Dave? Was this planned or was he randomly there?

I’m so tired of reading this. When it was announced recently that he was doing this again, we all knew it was probably breaking laws. If we’re not going to actually do something about it, then what’s the point of even talking about it. They didn’t do anything in November about it, and it was even ruled ok to do, apparently, so it’s just losses all around. The only thing that could happen is he pulls a trump and doesn’t pay anyone, but again, the damage is done, so who really wins?

Every time I hear shit like this, I legit wonder how people believed anything out of his mouth. I really wanna know, what statement sounded so believable that you could ever believe a single word out of his mouth. Especially since you already had 4 years of these lies already!

It’s just wild to me that you can’t take 1 quick look at him, and without even hearing a single word, he is super sketchy.

The oven? I never used anything else. Just put on warm and throw them in while making food and also move the food off to as I finish some.

This feels just like what companies do right before selling to the highest bidder.

I was a boost reddit guy and when they took them down Iand I came here i don’t even remember what I used before boost released the lemmy app. I think it’s perfect.

Not that I believe he didn’t know, but is he just playing dumb or did he actually forget? If for some reason, he didn’t actually know, then that’s even more ridiculous that a critical security event happened and the American people know more about it than the president? Either way, it’s all bonkers since we know absolutely nothing will happen like usual.

Oh, absolutely. When we had our kids both times we were hit with out of network anaesthesiologist bills. We fought it and won because we didn’t have a choice and when you have no choice it’s supposed to be covered. It took a few months to get an answer and is incredibly stressful and absolutely not something we should be worrying about after child birth, but welcome to America I guess… you hear about countries where the mother gets monthly care packages and at home wellness checkups on top of like 12 months off and I just get the extra stress of a 3k bill I may be held accountable for if I can’t complain hard enough on top of my wife having to go back to work in 1 month because you either don’t get paid or the few states that do takes over a month to get the first payment and it’s basically half of what you normally get. And that 1 month seems to be luckier than most since I’ve heard stories of people only allowed 1 to 2 weeks tops.

Honestly, if I wasn’t so established with life, career, friends, and also had financial freedom I really think if I had the ability to start over I would 100% be out of here… I know nowhere is perfect, but at least most don’t want to kick you when you’re down either.

As someone with insurance, it’s complicated? So I pay per paycheck on the plan I want. I’m allowed to change this plan once a year or change electives, which will higher what I pay per paycheck or lower based on the plan. I have a wife and 2 kids, and for the plan just under the top it costs me about $600 a month just to be covered (and this is considered really good, I think). If any of us go to our doctors, there is a copay of $30. This copay is based on the plan I picked and have access to. It could be less if I wanted a higher plan or more if I wanted a lower one. This also applies to “urgent care” which is just a quick way to see a doctor if you’re sick and can’t get to your doctor. On top of this, normally you’re allowed a few wellness visits per year with your doctor without copay since they are necessary. If you want to see a specialist the copay can be the same or slightly higher, all depends on your plan. The other kicker, you also need to make sure your doctor or the specialist is in network and takes your insurance. Otherwise, you pay more. Is this crazy yet or make sense?

Other things, hospital or emergency visits, will normally be $100 or way more because they don’t want you to just go to the ER all the time unless absolutely needed. Wildcards, sometimes you need to see people and have no idea what you will pay in the end since sometimes they will do work or use something that isn’t fully covered so you then get a bill a month later telling you insurance only covered this you owe the difference. It’s up to you to figure out if that’s correct or not then go down the path of fighting it. Normally, it’s like the visit is 1k but insurance only covered $950, so you’re now paying another $50 on top of the copay. This happens a lot and is frustrating because you really never know what you will pay in the end. If your married you both can have insurance and submit the remaining cost to the 2nd plan to see what they cover. On top of this, prescriptions have copays as well and have rates based on what the drug is. If you get generic brand it’s normally less, if they don’t have a generic brand you may be lucky and can get the name brand for the generic pricing because they don’t have it.

This is just scratching the surface, I guess to answer your question it’s $30 per visit, but that can change based off above. Also, is it really $30 if I’m also paying $600 per month? Another thing, you can’t just not have insurance. If you don’t, you will have to pay a penalty on your taxes for the time not covered. If you don’t have a job your still required to get a plan and from what I’ve heard those plans can be 1k or more a month for someone who doesn’t even have a job which makes total sense!

I only had fb but I gave that up in 2016. The only things I have now are my old reddit account that I haven’t used in a few years except to view occasionally but will not post, comment, or like anything. This Lemmy account is all I got and I am OK with that. It’s insane that we are considered the weird ones.

As someone who actually works on real stuff, it’s insane to me that for some people, they go to work and have high-level conversations revolving around things such as this.
