Hey Tumblr, I hate doing this but;

Broke my arm recently. Need surgery on it. My out of pocket expenses are gonna be $4300, $2000 of which need to be paid prior to surgery. Which is (checks notes) tomorrow.

Literally anything you send my way would help.

Bringing this back because the first of my medical bills are coming in. I have insurance, thank god, but I live in America, the land of private insurance companies and have not yet met my deductible. Thus, I still owe, after assorted xrays, three separate casts, surgery, ect (checks notes) about $1700. I still have to go back for more xrays and appointments to monitor healing and to physical therapy once the cast comes off.

This is better than the $8700 my insurance company has so far been billed for, but still. Any help would be appreciated. Even if I can just pay off the $700 anesthesia (OUT OF NETWORK YAYYYY) bill that would really help.

This is a PSA about the last:

if you didn’t choose the anesthesiologist, then it’s the surgery center’s problem, because that is SPECIFICALLY covered by the No Surprises Act of 2022.

Remember, friends, insurance companies are out for their shareholders: that’s why we regulate them.

And if your insurance company gives you shit about it, or the surgery center or anesthesiologist does, remind them about the act.

Hang on, WHAT

Like I still have $1000 worth of copay with more coming and anything is still deeply appreciated but I'm kissing you on the mouth right now

REBLOGS ENCOURAGED

STOP KOSA(and cie) MASTERPOST 2024

Both KOSA and the Earn It Act bill are dangerous for the future of the Internet.

In a nutshell, KOSA would allow states to sue any websites that host content deemed “harmful” to minors. With such a vague wording, its expected that any NSFW stuff, educational ressources or LGBT content, will immediately be taken down if govts dont approve of it.

Plus, it will be made mandatory to use IDs to confirm your age when going online, to so called “protect kids” but all that will cause is a huge potential data breach and endanger more kids.

As for the Earn It Act bill, it would allow the governement to spy and filter out anything they dont like in private dms for any users,as well as blowing a hole into Section 230 : The thing that prevent websites from being directly liable in case a user post something illegal,instead of the user being punished directly. The comics I made about KOSA and Earn It Act are old but sadly still relevant. All the info you need are in this post.
