It’s cool here because your boss gets to tell you if you’re allowed to see a doctor, and if you’re unemployed you they just say good luck, bro, drive carefully.

The insurance here only covers $2000 in a year anyways, and I don’t have it because they refuse to bring me on as anything other than contract labor.

That some bullshit, brother.

Yes. I’m having to weigh options. Hard to find work in the niche, scary to change after 20 years.

Change is hard but it’s the only way to grow. I’m going through some similar things myself right now.

I’d love to chat about it some time. Perhaps we can motivate one another.

Is this dental related?

Yes, unfortunately

I worked in dentistry for years. If you need to consult DM me. With a price like that I have an idea of what you’re working with.

Sounds super nice, I'll pass.

I think I'm a european socialist for life, I like to walk in the city.

Every system has its downsides.

There are more MRI machines, e.g., in Philadelphia than in all of Canada. Yes, prices are inflated because of government interventions in the healthcare industry, regulatory capture by Big Pharma, and inflationary monetary policy - but at least we still have better access to services needed than places like England with the NHS. No 9-month wait for cancer care, etc.

But I grant the point that it could be better. It should work more like auto insurance: cash for routine maintenance and insurance for unexpected / catastrophic events. It should be Health-as-a-product, not Health-as-a-service ("sick care"). 🤙🏼

It’s not ironic to me that the guy who was publicly getting people censored is a fan of socialism
