idk man I just need to vent i guess
my employer “provides” health insurance in exchange for my time and labor, and for that great privilege they take $600 out of my paycheck every month (covers me, my wife, and our 1yo son)
that’s half our monthly mortgage payment; it’s 2/3 our monthly grocery bill
why?
And then deny your access to lifesaving health care, don’t forget that part.
Private Company gets all your money and then gets to say “no, you really don’t need that operation, rub some dirt on it and take a salt pill” and then proceed to Scrooge McDuck into a pile of money.
The concept that you have coverage for a thing and it gets denied is baffling to me. How are Americans not trading in the streets over the systems your parents built?

Sometimes your medical team decides you need a procedure, but some guy with a spreadsheet or an AI that is wrong 90% of the time decides you don’t.
