Why covid will be with us forever part 45,192:

After two weeks I still tested weakly positive yesterday. I'm now out of covid tests. I have Anthem insurance. They stopped covering at-home tests a couple years ago, as I finally found out after 45 minutes on the phone, dealing with different bots, phone trees and finally, transfers to different actual people (4!).

But, hey! I can go to urgent care and get the test done. But, oops! There's a $30 copay.

I clarified with the last phone guy that my choice was to go to the local pharmacy, pay $18 out of pocket for a single at-home test, or go to an urgent care clinic and pay $30 myself *in addition to Anthem then getting billed hundreds of dollars by the clinic*. Yep, that's their logic.

Newsom promised single-payer health care. So are all the Democrats who want his seat.

Candidates for governor are promising universal public health care, which might sound familiar to California voters who've heard it before.

Has somebody done the math on whether dealing with our #healthcare "system" itself is making people sicker?

I am personally sick of the all the convoluted time-wasting, life-wasting garbage.

Energies better spent elsewhere.

#singlepayer

Everybody talks about how #singlePayer would eliminate the wasted money sucked out of #healthcare by insurance companies. That misses a more important point.
If the government is going to be paying for your healthcare no matter what, then they want to keep you healthy, because healthcare costs are lower for healthy people.
An insurance company, on the other hand, can just bet on you losing your insurance because you're sick and can't work or afford it, and then you're no longer their problem.
