      Yeah, we get a lot of patients in the ER with suicidal ideation. The visit usually boils down to the person being lonely.

      and that your deductible’s been reached already!

      My personal favorite part of this clown show: gotta make sure you stay healthy because you can't afford your deductible, but when you DO get sick you gotta make sure you are as sick as possible because it's more cost effective. But then, if you are TOO sick you reach your "donut hole" and it probably would have been better if you simply weren't sick in the first place. 🙃

      Nothing cranked my alienation more than working in a retail pharmacy.

    We are constantly fighting with and calling the insurance company my gf has because they KEEP FUCKING UP AT THE ONLY JOB THEY HAVE WHICH IS TO GIVE US FUCKING HEALTH INSURANCE.

    Then she gets mad at me because I don’t have any when I explicitly tell her that it doesn’t matter because I can’t afford it anyways. Fuck this fucking stupid Country.

        Yeah, fuck al the people who don’t have plans. “I can’t have my private comforts and Convenience messed with even if it means literally everyone in society benefits.”

        Fuck em. Class traitors.

    Got to love our for profit healthcare system. It even fucks over those of us who need mental help.

    I feel your pain, cause this is why I can't have a psychiatrist despite desperately wanting one. Just can't afford it. My insurance don't even offer anything for it, just like it don't offer dental.
