This is what our system of Healthcare makes

[pecunium]

Eighteen thousand a year. Fifty a day. Two an hour. Every hour, around the clock.
That's nearly a week's worth of 9/11s --
or 24 years of GWOT casualties --
killed by our own negligence
every single year.

I don't talk a lot about it out of shame, but as someone finally starting to come off of some programs, and still on others, it's practically a full time job. Under the best of circumstances keeping medicaid is a pain. And that's for kids. For adults? WORSE. A $200 or more 'spenddown' (deductable) EVERY TWO MONTHS. For an adult in a family of four with a reported income of $800 a month.

If you have $800 a month and still have bills/rent to pay, how the hell can you afford a $200 deductable? You do get about $400 food stamps tho with that. Seriously tho. Crazy stuff.
