@jaz2kX@Infosec_Taylor My insurance is great. Had two kids under my current insurance. It’s very real. I understand it’s not a reality for all. And I understand I’m in a very competitive job marketplace where I live that dictates a lot of the benefits for me. But it is real and it is very good
@Infosec_Taylor Not to mention, to average out-of-pocket max in the US is $4000. That’s including high deductible health plans that come with a triple tax free HSA that helps you save and invest funds. It’s not as bad as you’re painting. Especially when you get into the high cost incidents
@TangentFoxy That’s actually a median. Average would actually tend to be higher than 50% of people because the outliers who pay higher amounts would pull the average up
@Asshhllley@Infosec_Taylor Not at all what I said. Quick to jump to a conclusion about who I am. There’s a lot of things from OP that alone might be true, but all in combination might be a 1% of the population type deal.
@CatherineEPDoc@Infosec_Taylor I didn’t say my employer is the norm. I was i@plying that paying $400 per pay period for a family while simultaneously having a $20000 OOP max and a $1000 per visit deductible isn’t something that happens
@KyppDurron@Infosec_Taylor I have 100% preventative coverage, and all my medical needs are covered at 80% after deductible, which is very on par with all employers I have had in my career. I pay 20% of my total deductible which is actually 3% above nat’l avg
@lilybeerose I understand your misunderstanding. If you’d like to be more educated on the things you’ve heard to know about those falsehoods and the reality of my religion that is very much not a cult (or my Jazz fandom) then I’d love to chat
@nwiMurderLog@KrisSheldon3@Infosec_Taylor I understand the things you may have heard about “BYU/LDS”, however I invite you to inform yourself before you take a dig. I can guarantee 99% of the things you’ve heard are wrong. Feel free to DM me if you’d like to learn more.
@adam_bushman From a data wrangling perspective I think SQL wins here, and with Python having the SQL DB connection library from that perspective I prefer python there. R takes the cake for stats and viz for sure though.
@Sean_Tuff Interesting idea. The city zoning in something like this would be madness. The implication that in any given 15 minute radius you need all these things would imply that you are a neighbor to one of those businesses and it brings the concept of residential areas out of possibility
@thedad this is a reminder to all dads out there to put WD-40 on your infants/toddlers door hinges before the darn thing gets a Hiroshima-like reaction from a child you hoped would stay asleep
Kids these days will never know how helpful it was to use the screen of your flip phone as a flashlight. iPhones these days might be brighter than the headlights on a 1994 Honda Civic.
