    The US is the country with the highest public per capita healthcare spending on the planet.

    The private spending comes on top of that.

    And the outcomes are mediocre.

    The grift is immense.

    I left my job recently. Anyone want to guess what my COBRA premiums would have been?

    $900 per month.

        It exists so Dems can pretend that health insurance isn't completely dependent on employment

        My understanding is you can sign up for it retroactively if something happens. For example I left my job on a Friday and started my new job on Monday, so I didn't have insurance for the weekend. If something urgent happened, (I think) I could have signed up for COBRA after the fact and had the incident covered.

    $350/mo for my job's only plan that does 80-100% coverage. $7000 deductible so I have to pay that per year before I can even benefit from the insurance. God damn America.

    I'm glad that knowledge of microplastics is becoming mainstream. I have been yelling about microplastics and its role in the global fertility drop of all species for years.
