When health insurance costs skyrocket next year, is everyone going to demand a raise to help cover the increased costs or will you just deal with it and accept it as part of living in America?

Medicare for all. We are the sole developed nation where healthcare is for profit. We need to be able to set costs and rates at scale. The current system is just not tenable or fair IMO.

I have no interest in Medicare for all, but I agree that fee for service is stupid.

Why will health insurance costs skyrocket next year? It’s been going up in general.
The Inflation Reduction Act by Biden significantly reduced some prescription drug costs and insulin both of which my elder parents benefitted from.

Very rarely is a person's personal expenses considered when a company decides to give a raise, and when it does happen and is approved, it's a one-off case where keeping that particular employee is important.

People get raises when they take on more responsibility and/or bring more value to the role.

No, they get a raise when their replacement cost increases.

It’s been 3 years since I (27F) moved to Seattle and still don’t have a solid social circle. Not necessarily a big group… I’m talking 3-4 friends who are easy going and not flakey/ hard to make plans with.

Idk if it’s due to Covid, Seattle freeze, a combination of the two or other factors. Any transplants out there who are NOT the outdoorsy type and feel the same? And if so, how did you get past it?
