Dang that is robbery!! I took my daughter to an urgent care a couple days ago for a sinus infection. $185 for the visit, went to Walmart across the street for the px, a little over $200 for medical care. I used to be in a membership program with a great doctor, but we just never used it. I don’t know your situation but definitely look into a membership program if needed so you can save that $$$.
Nope. I take my chances. I am suggesting possible solutions, and my experience of being without “insurance “ for years now. We’re all better off taking what we would be paying for so called insurance and putting it into an HSA for emergencies. The problem is that most Americans can’t afford the insane prices of insurance, and then still have high copays. Even an employee provided healthcare was crazy high for horrible “care”. Unfortunately many of us remember what healthcare used to be like decades ago before government got involved. It wasn’t perfect, but it was FAR better than the debacle we have now.
A catastrophic only type of insurance. Would be kinda like carrying liability only on a car. It’s the lowest possible option. At this point, personally I would have to pay out of pocket. Direct pay is cheaper. There’s massive markup when using insurance companies. I’ve even caught a medical company charge me double for an x ray because with insurance, nobody questions it, however I called them out on it.
@JustineBateman But then they will just pay the thousands of homeless people to vote against it. They will find a way to keep their fraudulent voting method somehow. Can’t vote our way out of this.
Children and Adults with Down Syndrome are so special, they are like walking joy. They were given a gift, yet chose to destroy it. I hope that they didn’t go through with it.
YouTuber Jesse Ridgway and his wife abort their child after finding out the baby had Down syndrome.
Ridgway cited that they chose to kill the baby after deciding that he and his wife didn't want to be inconvenienced with a child with Down syndrome.
"Things have been pretty dark for a while for us, and we felt this was gonna be a nice little ray of sunshine, and it's not."
Horrific and selfish.
An estimated 67% - 85% of pregnancies in the U.S. with a Down syndrome diagnosis are aborted.
This is evil. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise.
WTF timeline are we on. Someone called me the MAGA whisperer and I’ll gladly take the title. Left, right, D or R we all want the same things. We’re being divided on purpose by the Epstein Elite Oligarch class because as long as we’re at each other’s throats, they get fat and rich off of our misery. The second we figure out we agree on more than we disagree, they’re done. Love your neighbor. Be yourself. Radical honesty. No fucks given, no fucks taken. Everything else is just noise. (But still fuck Jake “Brick Tamland” Tapper on any time line)
People always ask me, “how can we fix LA? We don’t have the money!”
We have the money…it’s just being stolen! You wanna fix the budget? END THE FRAUD. I will bust the scammers and put your tax dollars back to work for YOU.
That time a THE PRICE IS RIGHT contestant (Alene Glover) blacked out after winning the Showcase, so the show just ran the credits while they tried to revive her lol (1976)
Did she really have a chance to make difference though? Same reason why DOGE fell flat, and. RFK is not making the changes I know he wanted to. Everything is controlled. I’m trusting that there is a reason why she held on, and why she is taking the non confrontational exit. A war with Trump isn’t in her best interest right now.
@ScottJenningsKY Hey @grok, counting AIPAC and Republican Jewish Coalition and Miriam Adelson’s associated PAC MAGA Ky, how much did the proponents of Israel spend to unseat Massie?
Where was Miriam Adelson born?
I’m am trained in addiction recovery and this is the absolute best plan I’ve ever heard. The lie that we’ve been told “you can’t help people who don’t want help” is apathetic bs! I help people all the time who don’t want it. If they can get out of the addicted mindset, they can come back. Get them clean, teach them a skill, show them a purpose and cut the supply.
