I’m now seeing how hospitals view ER patients and expenses versus Elective OR patients and profits (and the respective staff) more clearly than ever before. I see how hospitals aim to charge more and spend less, no matter which humans are harmed (neglected ED holds or financially struggling staff) in the process. It has moved me politically from more libertarian to 100 whole hog We Need the NHS Here and Now in 2 months. It has been eye opening to say the least. If EMTALA did not exist it would be even worse.

Do we know if there is a sponsoring partner that oversees this benefit/ program that I could have more of a heart to heart conversation with? Not getting too far with the general email box and admin contact. From the benefit policy documentation, my understanding is that EY reimburses employees for surrogacy / adoption related expenses up to $50k lifetime. However, anything related to IVF or medical procedures has to go through insurance (also limited to $50k lifetime benefit). Continued…

Curious what anyone thinks about cologne? Is it a turn on? I am not really into it.. but I just got a whiff of this dude at the gym and the cologne did something to me 🥰 It was really subtle.
