    Just want to make sure anyone who needs it does not miss the deadline. American HC is a b---- to navigate but I've dealt with obamacare for a few years now so lmk if you have any questions and I can try to help.

    go get healthcare

    then go get tested

    you probably have at least 3 STDs

    stans have 0 STDs, unless self-inflicted.

    but should go get tested for mental illness.

    Absolutely not. It’s something most people, myself included, figure out as they go.

    Also today I picked up a prescription and learned that insurance can decide my prescription costs $50 instead of $10 in the same calendar year even tho I’ve been paying $10 for it all year. Luckily the pharmacy had a coupon so it came out to $14 but they do this s--- cuz they know most people won’t say anything or even notice.

    Facts. I only learned because of the 5 surgeries I had to have. Also made me realize most doctors offices take advantage of this lack of knowledge and over bill the f--- outta you.

    I’m willing to bet that 99% of Americans don’t fully understand how copay, coinsurance, deductible, and max-out-of-pocket work.

    if you really want to have your pants blown off, look up "allowed amounts" or "contracts" between insurance companies and hospital organizations...

    ex: if you get a knee replacement and have aetna insurance, then it's a different price than if you were to have that same procedure at the same place with the same physician(s) if you have a different (ex: cigna) insurance. this is because each insurance payor/plan has a different contractual agreement for every procedure that takes place. i.e., the hospital says "hey aetna, the knee replacement costs $60,000" and aetna responds with, "nah, we'll give you $38,000" and that's that.

    spoke w/ a physician a while ago who has had patients come back angry because their medication he prescribed costed ~$500. He was then upset because he could have just as easily ordered a different brand of the same medication and it would have costed the patient $10, but he has no way of knowing which insurance will cover which brands of medication... absolutely insane.

    It's the specific words not the sentiment that are the issue, saying "Reddit sucks" on a banner won't change our ranking but saying "f--- reddit" will affect it for the worse. Google doesn't like swear words which is censor are auto turned on for guests. It's dumb but it is what it is.

    People still find this forum by searching for MTBMB deluxe Side B, Yandhi, OG CV, etc. and we wanna keep those rankings
