  • Ugh, feel this so hard recently - the most expensive, most thinly stretched health care system in the developed world. I pay through the teeth for this shit and nothing is ever covered, out of pocket costs are still insane, even for injuries. Now we get yearly out of pocket deductibles you must meet before they start covering things - literally designed to discourage you from getting care so they can collect premiums and provide as little as possible.

    My provider recently changed it so that my yearly checkup isn’t with my MD primary care physician, they hire a staff of PAs who handle checkups now which I’m sure is much cheaper and guarantees nobody pays a fuckin second off attention to long term care.

    Fuck this for-profit bullshit, so frustrating to have to battle with base unadulterated greed when trying to get basic preventive care to make sure we don’t die early from something stupid.
