A common perception for who? It’s a fairly common understanding that healthcare workers get the worst insurance for some reason.

Backing this up with 5 friends in the medical field that all complain about it

As an RN, cancer wasn’t covered by our insurance.

I would have said not necessarily better insurance but better health benefits a few years ago. We used to get one free ER visit (no copay) and if we ever got sick outside of the immediate area the hospital would fly you back here for treatment. Those aren't a thing anymore.

I do not believe. Just stay with medical groups so they get better services.

Think it depends on the employer and their culture, honestly. I have seen some health groups offer amazing health insurance, then I have seen some offer appallingly bad coverage/rates.

I know everyone will have different answers for this but how did you know it was time to get sober? I think it might be time for me to find a new job and pursue sobriety, but I don't feel like I'm a rock bottom which is the only time I've ever seen people really commit to it (my father). Apathy isn't the right word but I just kind of feel numb about everything and I think being sober would maybe help.
