Day 6 of Open Enrollment and the 3rd Health Insurance Hot Tip:

Your employer's health plan is a fantastic perk, but here's the deal: adding family members can get pricey. Employers aren't obligated to contribute to their costs, so it's worth weighing your options.

Check out your plan's details, and remember, Open Enrollment is the time to make changes. Keep it smart, folks!

A white guy having a family is our own problem and have to bear the cost. Black guy doesn’t give a fuck! Gets free housing, food stamps, has no fridge but has a Mercedes and 4K TV. Doesn’t know where his kids are in the middle of the day and gets free healthcare from Obamacare. He works the bear minimum or even gives his social to somebody else to fake the minimum work hours. The system wants more uneducated, low level, low demand employees so that the high ups can enjoy more $$$.

To be honest, I was referring to NYC where blacks get these kid of benefits. No white person will stay in an affordable housing building. Ι mean you see neighborhoods 80% black and the rest mexican, south american, etc.

The health benefits officer in the Army told me that if the Army wanted me to have a spouse and family, they would've issued them to me. I'm afraid a lot of private companies have the same attitude. It sometimes seems like your entire check goes for taxes, health insurance, and other deductibles.

Any women here with lean PCOS? I do not ovulate on my own (metformin regulated my periods but I still don’t ovulate) and am moving from three cycles of Clomid/IUI to IVF soon. No other issues have been found other than my PCOS (HSG shows tubes open). Curious about your experiences. And the reason I mentioned lean PCOS is because it seems for others with PCOS part of the fertility path is diet/exercise/weight loss but I am already very tiny.

Covid has been hard. March 2029- December 2020 I drank a lot to cope without realizing it. January- March I didn't realize I was depressed. March I came to terms with increase and ongoing suicidal ideation and needed help.

I went into a intensive outpatient program (IOP) which has been super helpful.

During the beginning of covid I drank every day and in a great deal. January it was a "dry" month which was hard the first week but overall great.

March 2021 realized I'm clinically depressed.
