I haven’t heard of the pfas lawsuit, man I’m glad the first time I heard about these things was when the caffeine lawsuit started. Apparently the lawsuit is alleging high levels of 8 different pfas compounds.

That’s still owing money for something I would have never had a say in so call it whatever you want but it meets the definition of debt.

Only partly true there I’m afraid. Pennsylvania allows for children to be responsible for medical and long term care bills from their parents under a filial support law:

Even if you take his statement as true it’s essentially arguing that historically genocides have happened and therefore Israel should get free rein to do one.

Fun fact: they used to line the wind chests that held the pressurized air and pipes with asbestos until around the 1970s… so yeah you can technically get cancer from pipe organs.

pretty much, mozzarella sticks are basically just those, breaded and fried into a stick of delicious heart attack juice

That is correct. Let’s say me and my dad get cancer. We both have health insurance provided by our employers.

Dad: Initial deductible (cost before insurance kicks in): $10,000

Max out of pocket (in network): $20,000

They cover initial treatment but the anesthesiologist is “out of network.” That charge goes to the separate deductible for out of network costs, dad pays $30k total, of a $500k “sticker price.”

Me: Deductible: $4,200 Max out of pocket: $4,200

Initial treatment is covered by insurance, no provider listed as out of network. Total cost to me: $4,200 out of a $500k bill.

Every insurance is different, each hospital will do different things to get extra money, and you have no way of knowing what 1 piece of the treatment is out of network until after you’ve already had the treatment. Our system sucks

Dude that’s what an outside investigator is

It wasn’t a good meme the first time, it’s not any better the 10th time this month either

Same, though I developed an allergy to pistachios/sesame a while back that has saved me a good bit of money by now

every company I’ve worked for has a separate pool for each. The usually has been maybe ~5 sick days and 1-4 weeks of vacation based on seniority. The issue is for anything worse than say one good cold a year those sick days aren’t good for much so you either have to use vacation to cover the gap or just lose pay. Things like pregnancy you get Fmla time but that is unpaid so you either burn vacation days or just don’t get paid for say post pregnancy recovery or cancer treatments etc. any European countries in desperate need of truck dispatchers?
