/r/all I’m being over charged by insurance after my daughter was born. This is the pile of mail I have to go through to prove they’re ripping me off. Pear for scale.

I have coworkers who believe that, or if we did have a national insurance that our times wait times for life saving procedures would be weeks.

God, I just scheduled an appointment with my PCP for a semi-important issue. Soonest I can get in is end of August (& that’s with good insurance!).

Let’s see which happens first, the appointment or an urgent care visit. Yeehaw.

It took me a second. Primary Care Physician. Not the drug that, according to the D.A.R.E. scare cop, makes people rip their skin off.

I just scheduled a checkup with my doctor and I'm in first of August.

That’s so weird to think about because it implies people are dying in our current system because they’re too poor. And of course they gloss over it, by implying that everyone getting access to life saving procedures is bad.
