Well, a Healthcare.gov plan might actually be a good option because they offer group-rate plans to low AND moderate-income individuals based on a sliding scale. If you happen to exceed the income afforded to you by your plan, I believe you can pay the difference via adjustments to your premium tax credits during tax season.

Maybe you should give them a call and find out what's available.

But I’m not a group, I’m kinda 🤷🏽‍♀️ confused

I had an acquaintance in Iowa that did this. They put her on Medicaid. Don't know if it varies by state.

I assume it depends on where each state stands in regards to Medicaid expansion.
Thing is, it appears that BQ's intent on generating a livable income through working. If such is the case, Medicaid probably won't remain an option for her.

Meaning the prices of the plans are similar to those of small group, employee-based plans rather than individual plans once the tax credit is applied--if you fall within the appropriate income levels. You can work full-time and still qualify for pretty significant cost savings.

Sick people like you -especially the disabled- are the problem.
I'm so sick of you, so sick of your chronic headaches, your chronic disability and laziness !

You are lazy, my sick friend. Or did you think that you have the right to fool me? who cares about your stupid body, especially the stupid demands it makes; to ruin the party time of healthy people?

I don't care about being banned because this became outrageous ! liars like you, claiming that human beings "get sick" or get born with chronic health defects ! outrageous..just outrageous..

I'll tell you what..go naked under the cold shower and rotate yourself while saying "Yahoo yahoo yahoo" 20 times..you will fart in the process but it's okay..then we'll see who is sick !!!! liar !

Mods got a spam troll here 👆🏽

Seriously now..

Medicine companies make gigantic prophets from medications; just like the war economy cartels. So I doubt any unified effort will succeed in helping sick people.

The price of medicine is increasing -for God's sake see the prices of Interferon-Beta injections for example-.
I doubt it.

I’ll admit I’ve never seen the movie and I have no idea who Rick Blaine is 😅

I'm very sorry for using this way in posting; BQ.
But seriously : don't you feel immense anger when you see healthy humans wasting billions -if not trillions- on wars and death, and on turning medicine into an economical pressure card?

I know very much that if every citizen of earth contributed with a dollar a week; humanity will get enough medicine and healthcare

Normally, I’d tell you to watch the movie, but I think that (for obvious reasons) this would be a good place for you to start:





It’s less than half an hour, but it has the three main cast members at least.

An opportunistic nightclub owner finally learning to stand up against the Nazis remains surprisingly relevant almost 80 years later...

It literally gives me cramps, I’m working toward becoming a legal advocate for other people with disabilities and the waste enrages me. And it’s okay I just get seriously pissed when people use the word “lazy” in conjunction with disability.
