a stripper i met this weekend liked my profile picture, have a date with a girl i used to like and my f*ck friend from college messaged me wanting to hang out.
I know that's what she wrote. Its just hard for me to believe that an insurance company would just give something away "for free"
The syllabus says, "Under this accommodation, the insurance issuer must exclude contraceptive coverage from the employer's plan and provide plan participants with separate payments for contraceptive services without imposing any cost-sharing requirements on the employer, its insurance plan, or its employee beneficiaries."
That sounds to me like the insurer has to do it, but I have no idea where that money is supposed to come from. My guess would be general across the board increases, but that's purely speculation.
From the text of the opinion: "Although this procedure requires the issuer to bear the cost of these services, [the Department of Health and Human Services] has determined that this obligation will not impose any net expense on issuers because its cost will be less than or equal to the cost savings resulting from the services."

maybe I should update my facebook picture more often. jesus.
Today I received the Explanation of Benefits from my insurance company for the required drug test I had to take at my doctor's office before getting a new prescription before Bonnaroo. It's their new mandatory practice now, done twice a year. The lab company billed insurance for $3,318.51. Yes, I typed that correctly. Insurance negotiated it down to a small $1,835.06. That is what I supposedly owe now.
What really bothers me is for anyone to speak out against birth control and/or plan B but then act so shocked at child abuse or neglect. Then they're praying to the same God that supposedly decreed that these children must be born,
Working in an inner city pediatric ER for 2 years really caused me to lose my religion. The Hobby Lobby God does nothing to protect and nurture so many innocent children that really need it.
Anyone wanna go with me to Mexico at the end of September? I'm gonna take a short all-inclusive vacation while my fiance is at his company retreat, and double occupancy rooms are a lot cheaper. I need a partner in crime to drink unlimited fruity drinks and terrible buffet food with. Oh yeah, and spend all day at the swim-up bar, obviously.

Long live our corrupt system.
This is for your back pain Meds? Just wrong

Yeah, first actual prescription I have gotten from him in over a year. I've fought the drug test for six months because the one I had 18 mos ago was $300. Which I thought was absurd. So it has finally been decided. I am getting a new doctor.

That's some crap. It'd be cheaper for you to just go buy them from a dealer at that rate.

Wait, so they are charging you $1800? Or is that just what your insurance didn't cover?
And if you ever want to talk healthcare costs, I'm your lady. I literally stare at healthcare data all day long and try to make sense of it.

Until I hit my $5,000 deductible, insurance doesn't pay anything. Although this drug test has gotten me damn close to my deductible, if not past it already. And thanks JHOinTN, I will.
If anybody wants to freak out over EOB's let me know, I'll send a copy of the ones from when I was in chemo.
Back to the SCOTUS issue for a minute. I have to say that I am both amused and annoyed at those who come back with the "don't work there" answer. The majority of the jobs at Hobby Lobby are cashier's and stock positions which pay about 10 bucks an hour.(source) Managers make about $50,000 a year. What the people making the "don't work there" argument don't think about is that your average cashier isn't making a philosophical decision about the business practices, they're looking for a job, or changing jobs for a higher hourly wage than they've been making.
So if there is something in the decision that states it has to be covered some other way it again becomes more complicated for working class women to access medical care. What I continue to be shocked by is young women who think this is wonderful. They need to talk to mothers and grandmothers and get a history lesson. Until 1965 birth control was still illegal for married couples. The reason your grandfather had 8 siblings and you only have 2, hmmm, birth control maybe?
The premise of the trickle down is that someone at the top is taking a piss, and we're all drinking it.
So I guess that makes it tinkle down theory then, huh?
I'm not a fan of capitalism at all, but I have trouble with finding ways to truly make a difference that doesn't involve a complete revolution. Some would say that that's what's called for, but I'm not there yet. How can the average person make a difference?
Consumers hold all of the agency in a capitalist society. Average people are literally the only ones who can make a change. You have to be personally willing to live with less, and spend your money only with companies who treat their employees fairly, source products ethically, and abstain from participation in wholesale manipulation of our political system through lobbying.
It's not about bankrupting Walmart so much as creating a viable market for alternatives. You stop giving the bad guys your money. The more people who do that, the more alternatives will exist. I feel every person living in a first world nation has an obligation to think about the impact of what they buy, because were pretty high up on the pissing ladder. A couple dozen of us shop elsewhere, and that's one more job with real benefits available, instead of another McJob.
Health care, or at least some basic level of it, is a human right and not a privilege.
We need single payer NON-PROFIT health care in America, and the sooner the better.
Ironically, the majority of the Supreme Court agreed with you today, ruling that it would be less burdensome for the government to provide birth control directly.
Let's all pinky swear that if any of us win a big lottery jackpot that we will buy a. Couple of Lear jets and hire pilots so we can fly all over the country and visit each other anytime we want. K?

YES! This is something that is a small commitment of time, convenience and money up front, with a ripple effect that has the potential to create MAJOR social, economical and environmental impact for all of society. For EVERY single person. Researching who you buy from, finding local businesses, or those with practices that match your own idealogies, investing a little extra money to support businesses who are mindful of the footprint they leave behind instead of just $$$$$. Our power is in our pockets and their weakness is in theirs. En masse, we are mighty.
My dad was always "boycotting" companies. We didn't eat tuna for years and years as part of the "tuna boycott" of the 80's, which, by the by, led to safer fishing practices. Time to put our money where our mouths are when it comes to Hobby Lobby. Be the change.
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

If you're fortunate enough to be able to, it also helps to get involved with organizations that help people who need help. I spent three hours today in meetings for a non-profit I'm on the Board of, and while I bitched about it repeatedly (I mean, c'mon, do for-profit companies have 3-hour meetings?), I know we're making a differrence in getting kids from underfunded urban public high schools to graduate and go to college. My point is not that I'm a wonderful human being (although I am, ask anyone), my point is that you can make a difference. Even if it's a small difference, you do what you can and hope that more people do the same.
Today's news: SCOTUS has decided that while corporations are people, women are not.
That's not really news, that's been a (fucked up) reality for years now.
Corporations aren't people, they're gods.
They can marry (merger), vote (super pacs), buy and sell property, hire and fire people, trade themselves on public markets, and now they can hold religious views. About the only thing corporations can't do is die of old age or go to jail.
I wonder what artist do with their festy bracelets after a weekend?
I saw a CHVRCHES performance at Glasto & saw they had a shit ton of wristbands on. I thought they were all the bands from fests they've played, because one was obviously bright green which is the Bonnaroo artist band this year, but then I saw another set and they had a shit ton of wristbands too. So I think they were all Glasto related? Idk.
