Open enrollment tip — if you’re due in 2025 (or have an upcoming hospital stay), definitely look into hospital indemnity insurance. I elected ahead of having my baby this year and was able to get a solid claim in, knocking the “who knows what the hell you’ll get charged for having a baby” bill down a bit. Well worth it:

What did it cost you monthly and what was the payout? Hospital stays are usually so short for births, what’s the math for it being worth it?

I think I paid less than $20/month for the more expensive plan. Got around $1200 back. This was thru MetLife

Absolutely worth it as well as the additional disability coverage if you can. Ended up getting about $3k total when we had our son that really helps.

One of my out of state REs is suggesting that birth control for three weeks before having starting a cycle. I consulted with another RE previously and he noted that he doesn’t recommend birth control for too long when planning an ivf cycle since it can impact response to fertility medication. Does this sound right ?

Let’s not have pride this year that is all about rainbow colors. Remember those who have lost their lives during the AIDS crisis, and the years they were ignored by the government and couldn’t get healthcare to save their lives. Same as what is happening today - those who are not privileged don’t have equal resources, or even access to healthcare. That’s why equality should matter for everyone. It’s not just a party, it’s to show that we’re still here and we will not give up.

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?
