@AgneseGandolfo@abierkhatib At the time some employers did it that way, yes. Not all.
Prescriptions were a little cheaper, sometimes yes.
This is more of an issue with the quality of insurance versus the cost.
@Nobody06886476@AgneseGandolfo@abierkhatib That’s fair and true. But cost is not by any means the largest problem with healthcare in the US and would come down if the other, bigger issues got solved.
@AgneseGandolfo@abierkhatib Who all was involved?
Admin staff, nurses, at least one doctor, vendors or staff to sanitize, supplies, billing staff, second doctor to review. All of them cost money to employ.
There are issues with healthcare in the US. The price tag is PART.
@AgneseGandolfo@abierkhatib $20 copay was your portion of a couple grand in labor for the hospital staff.
Your comment only points out that you had insurance with a low copay.
What was your paycheck premium for the insurance?
The US has a problem with the billing system and who pays, not cost.
@TransGirl So you’re a normal human who didn’t get born into the royalty class.
Welcome to the same life of 10 billion people since modern humans evolved.
You’re still better off than 85% of the billions.
@erinmhk@Siya_twts I dunno. I could go for another round of that picture showing up in front of me constantly. Maybe not the question or comments, but show me more of you any time, @erinmhk .
@TransGirl Same reason I drink Monsters and eat bacon. Bad for me but fuck it.
Also, there’s a high chance you’re comparing yourself against people who pay for bot services.
@EvieParkour In my home town in TN a woman was stabbed over 100 times and lived to experience the mental torture of surviving.
Does that keep you up at night or do you only care about half a percent of the population?
@STP48315@ScottPresler You know nothing about mental health at all, you uneducated Neanderthal. Affirming things is a major component of treating mental health conditions. Jesus fucking Christ it’s 2026 and your brain is in the 80s. I bet you still think AIDS is airborne.
@STP48315@ScottPresler You’re saying one medical condition should be treated while the other should be ignored and allow that person to suffer.
Fuck. You. You’re a brain dead shit excuse for a human being and I hope you suffer from the same hatred someday when you have a disease.
