Not to mention that this is all in a country where healthcare coverage can end when the insurance company feels like and they can say they "cover" something but only pay $10 towards a $700 bill until you meet the deductible, medications not included. For those that decide to have a child with insurance, appointments can cost hundreds per appointment. You can to buy new clothes constantly what you may never wear again. You have to sit on the phone for hours hoping you are not hung up on to talk to insurance figuring out why something wasn't covered when you triple checked it was. You have to buy prenatal medication and also things for each of the symptoms, sometimes multiple things for each symptom.

Discomfort/pain/anxiety/depression/things you already didn't have time for and now have less time for aside, it's EXPENSIVE to even try and be sort of comfortable. Expensive in both time and also money.

Who are you going to believe? Me? Or some woman?

By "nobody is paying attention" do they mean it's been plastered all over the news?

I had this happen to me when I was a kid. I was able to get it out with tweezers pretty easily though. It was so small I highly doubt it would have caused issues outside of itching.

Only a few thousand dollars???? I had a tumor taken out, with insurance, paid around $8k. I had a persistent sinus infection and couldn't breath for most of my life, need surgery, with insurance, paid $4k and got diarrhea for months due to antibiotics that insurance determined I needed before surgery (surgeon didn't see why it would bee helpful since my physiology was messed up, no air flow isn't fixed by antibiotics). Each state is different, different parts of each state are different too.. Still though, that sounds like it was a really good move for you and I'm glad you had that opportunity..

You still have a lower chance of dying from lack of healthcare options or going bankrupt from the only option available. Still though, I've heard pretty bad stories of things that shouldn't be pushed off having long wait times because that's the system in Canada. There has to be a middle ground between death/bankruptcy and healthcare only for those who need it to live tomorrow.

I showed this to my husband and asked him if he would like this. Turns out rice with sides of raw chicken and apple sauce get a shudder and gag.

I'm pregnant and picked my husband's insurance because it covers the only hospital within an hours drive where I can give birth. After it was too late for us to change insurance options, they informed everyone who signed up that they may not cover that hospital. We may not hear if they are covering the hospital until February. If they don't cover the hospital we will need to pay all prior visits out of pocket, and it will be too late for me to find a provider within network because I'll be too far along, but I'll also need to go even further to find a hospital.

So much freedom. The wait times are so short, I'll need to start working part time just to accommodate the drives to want from my appointments. Not too worry, until I pay the deductible of 10k insurance may be willing to cover up to 10% of the necessary appointments. Private insurance costs more with insurance than out of pocket private providers in Canada.

That is a much better use of land!

I don't think there is a single best life. No one's life is perfect, and there is certainly a lot of bad luck that a single person can experience. Everyone lives their own life. Sometimes it's a wonderful adventure, sometimes on easy mode, sometimes life sucks and you have few if any choices to change it. Reincarnation is just pressing play, again.

Without free or adorable third spaces, the population has no place to meet not interact with new people to make friends as adults. Unless you already know someone and general only meet at each other's places, meeting others and having friends is fiscally out of reach.
