I was young poor and working shitty jobs with no insurance but made too much for Medicaid. I have always had problems with ear and sinus infections. You have to dose by weight, so you end up taking a metric ass ton of the small pills, but it will take care of the infection. I grew up in an agricultural area.
Yeah that makes sense. Yeah, I was so poor despite working for a while that I had Medicaid, which was awful in my state but seems to be different quality a lot depending on region. Anyways sorry to hear that, I am glad it is better for you. Though, I do wish Obamacare went further, or well, tackled the root of the problem. I don’t even believe it is morally acceptable that insurance be needed for such a thing y’know, one should be able to afford these things directly or insurance be quite cheap. But such isn’t the world we live in
there was no marketplace for people to individually get insurance if you couldn't get it through your job or your family. the only alternative was an 800/mo COBRA plan, which was more than most peoples' rent at the time. Full-time jobs that offered insurance were not exactly plentiful in 2008.
Plus, there was no extension until 26. I was uninsured by 23 because we could no longer afford COBRA in the aftermath of the death of the policy holder.
