I hate the health insurance system in the USA so much. It's just horrendously bad. I had a kid enter this world at right about the same time I changed jobs. That resulted in changing health insurance. On paper, this should have been a little expensive but fine because I paid extra money for Cobra to extend my coverage until the new plan kicked in. But it was such a mess. I was making phonecalls and sending emails and logging in to weird web portals with two different insurance companies, Cobra (which was managed by some mysterious other entity??), two different HR departments, and the finance people at the hospital for months trying to deal with this stuff. The hospital we were at was in-network for both insurance companies, but no one was communicating with each other (and apparently one doctor involved was not in-network, so there were extra charges, which is such bullshit). Why is my employer involved with my healthcare costs anyway? It's genuinely a Kafka-esque nightmare. Anyway, any presidential or congressional candidate that opposes universal healthcare doesn't get my vote, ever. Sorry Biden, but you don't automatically get my vote just because I disagree with the republican platform.
