Oh trust me. I am rn paying for a toddler.
I just am factoring.... let's call it a significant start up cost on top of that.

Welcome to supporting a single payer system where the profiteering is removed from the equation.
Jokes aside. Everything in the US is for profit these days. Including the hospitals.

This should be obvious to everyone, but here we are.
Many many many procedures are covered that are about quality of life and not ability to live. Erectile dysfunction. Joint replacements.
I never understood individuals simping for multibillion dollar companies.

Not even an option here. We could barely spend that with imaginary money. Our real incomes would never have been enough.
Remember when pregnancy was a pre existing condition?
It makes sense to include for big tech because the people they pull in are more likely to utilize.
This is why insurance to cover it matters. People who want to have a family should be able to without fear of bankruptcy, etc, etc, etc.
I'm assuming you are talking about single payer and not the fact that hospitals are for profit.
So here's the rub. If you can explain to me how you dismantle an aggressive profiteering system without removing the profit incentive from privately owned business. I'm all ears.
I swear to God Cowgirl. If you take my **** pills from me I'm gonna be a very upset dinosaur.
This changed before I was released into the wilds of adult life (thanks Obama!) But I have heard stories.
I understand those things. Someone could be in a wheelchair and such. I just see a child as a choice. Remember, women without children are the happiest people.
Isn't everything a choice? If I choose to play football and break my leg, are you saying insurance shouldn't cover it?

You should consider doing stand up with one liners like that.
Painfully. Hated my job and found a new one. Between the interview and the job offer, found out I was pregnant. Had to pay COBRA and keep the old insurance for the pregnancy. I told them I was pregnant when they offered and they at least didn’t rescind, I think that was already covered by employment discrimination laws though. And I had to go back to work four weeks after delivery. Can’t go to daycare that early.
RIght... so we did that once upon a time. That's that time where insurance companies could drop you for any reason or label your illness/Healthcare needs as preexisting conditions and refuse to cover them.
So. Beyond a 3 word cop out answer. What would you specifically recommend?
Keep in mind. Drug prices in America are significantly higher than and single payer system because single payer systems negotiate down the costs for everyone in a country instead of leaving it to private companies with limited numbers and obscure incentive to actually negotiate down drug prices.
This thread is pretty informative. Not a topic I had given a lot of thought to as an elder male. I'd never really thought "Well, what does that actually cost?"
This is a long ways from when my mother took the long ago discontinued DES. Discontinued because of the effects to the mother and the children but without it I am probably not here nor is my sister.
Just taking a quick look and families with the same federal employees BC/BS that I have would seem to have coverage.
