  • My boss and I were driving back from a meeting in another town. The GPS suggested he take a different route because of traffic. He didn’t we sat in traffic for like an hour. I sent a message to my brother complaining about my boss., Complaining about my boss and how we were stuck in traffic. Or more correctly I meant to send it to my brother , accidentally sent it to my boss. Since we’re stuck in traffic, he checked his text message. needless to say that was an uncomfortable drive home. Somehow didn’t get fired






  • While I agree with the essence of what you are saying. I want to say, if you have insurance the “bill” might be hundreds, but my share might only be 20 usd, if anything at all. If my “bill” was thousands, I might see my share be a couple hundred usd at most. It is possible for it to be far less then a couple hundred.

    The other thing people don’t mention is, if I honestly can’t pay my share. I can walk into the billing office at the clinic /hospital and explain I honestly can’t afford my share. The hospital will bill the insurance what they can, then look for extra funding. Most hospitals have a charity fund. It is based on my income. If I am broke and make crap wages, my share might be reduced to 0 usd.

    Should we have a better system? Yes, but many times there are real options out there.
