Daily Discussion - May 13, 2017

Ugh, so I basically got a new job. With meeting with HR person to go over and sign stuff tomorrow. Only, I came to realize that because the company provides health insurance but with a relatively high deductible before they pay for anything, and I have stuff like therapist visits and monthly medication, it literally would be (if my research of you becoming eligible for it after being there three months is accurate) like $600 a month (if you divide total costs by the four months left in calendar year) starting in September for me to access medical care. As I've got a plan through the marketplace with subsidies, and no matter how much you make if your employer offers a plan that meets minimum qualifications you can't take the subsidies/offers of specifically way cheaper plans for poor individuals at all.

So not only would it be a.. well, less flexible job than my current one so I'd have to deal with scheduling in doctor's appointments vs being able to change my schedule on my own, but then I'd be so fucked when it came to health care especially for the rest of the year. Ugh, I wish they were just hiring as part-time.

I'm gonna discuss shit with HR tomorrow and so aren't certain, and I really don't like my current job I've been at for years, so it's like GDI.

Fucking American healthcare system is bullshit.
