I had no medical insurance until I was a full time working professional after graudate school . All of my life before that , this was my experience . It was quite striking in college . go into the same clinic with the same ailment as a friend with insurance , and they were billed 45 times as much , because they had insurance . It ' s just that greed permeates every level . We should have maximum caps on allowable charges for given medications , procedures , and tests , but I ' m sure that will never happen . <| sep |> Happy thanksgiving ! I love all of you 3 Especially my best friend uneongreenpurple . Sorry for being a general pain in the ass , complaining about not being able to snuggle the girl I like , and annoying the living shit out of you . Im genuinely thankful for everything you do for me . I love you from the bottom of my heart
