    I know that, like a lot of my fellow 'Muricans, I will try to avoid seeing a health care provider until I absolutely have to. Random inexplicable pain? Hopefully it gets better on its own in a few days.

    Which I know is not at all smart, but 1. there are not enough doctors to go around and 2. the ones we do have are understandably burned out AF and 3. the insurance bullshit is brutal.

    The insurance carriers make it very clear that you have done something wrong if you go see a health care provider.

    “Insurance is for collecting premiums only”. They are the “no take, only throw” dog meme in real life.
